I Drink to Numb Myself

I like myself when I drink. I'm fun and easy going. I don't feel my chronic pain when I drink. I don't feel anxiety or depression when I drink. I feel good. I feel numb.

Same here.. I'm usually more willing to relax and laugh when I'm a little tipsy. Plus sleep comes easily, but that only happens when I have champagne.

Does that mean you sleep best on New Year's Eve? :p
RedRhapsody · 31-35, F
Not necessarily. New Years is just another day with my family..

I have insomnia, so alcohol definitely helps with that.

@RedRhapsody: Oh. So there's no champagne at midnight on New Year's. What occasions do you like to drink in?
RedRhapsody · 31-35, F
Nah, we just watch the ball drop and go back to whatever. But I have it when I go out to dinner with friends or a party.. If I feel like it.

@RedRhapsody: Sometimes when I'm drinking, I lose focus on the conversation.
AmayaTsuki · 36-40, F
@Annie1899: Same. I have trouble focusing anyway, but alcohol doesn't help.

@AmayaTsuki: Can you keep up a conversation on line when you're drinking?

@Annie1899: I think I'm doing ok right now lol It's easier online because I can reread everything.

@AmayaTsuki: lol Yes, I had no idea! How drunk are you?
AmayaTsuki · 36-40, F
@Annie1899: About half a bottle of wine down. Not super drunk, just in that sweet spot haha

@AmayaTsuki: You're at that fork in the road of whether to stop or keep going.

@AmayaTsuki: Lucky lol. I can already tell it's going to be another late night, and I seriously want to pass out. -_-
