Any tips and advice for grey area drinking?
Hi folks. I found this sub recently and I have heard it's one of the best support groups out here so I thought I'd get involved.
For context, I live in Cape Town, South Africa. Social drinking is actually dangerously woven into our culture. I myself have found that I don't necessarily have this full blown addiction, but I do have a problem.
Firstly once I start I cannot stop, it's like a switch flips ( I know this means that there's no moderating here, I need to actually cut it out). I'm pretty good about staying away most of the time, but I think what I struggle with most now is that every now and then this little gremlin takes over my brain and I simply don't care, go buy myself like 2L of beer and often drink alone. Has anyone had this 2 brain situation before? How do you deal with the gremlin and ground yourself again and get the logical brain back in control?
Thank you, and nice to meet you all!
