I had a time in my life where i had just got out of a relationship and to ease the pain i started drinking. This was a poor choice because it became a habit. I can not tell you how painful it is to see your parents face when your 17 years old and come home drunk. We all have are problems and some just drink because they believe it helps them, this is so not true. They are just doing it at the heat of the moment where they just wanna forgive and forget. I think to myself what would had happened if i would have hit a person driving home? Truth is i would be scared for life not to mention have this guilt to deal with. Ladies and Gentlmen when you have had to many drinks please get a ride or make sure you do not leave your house you would be surprised of all the stupid things you could do and how many lives you can endanger not to mention your own. And when your trying to forget about someone, hang with friends or find a new hobby whatever you have to do to get this person of your mind. Remember what goes around comes around

I understand you quite well as I also had gotten out of the relationship, but unlike you I didn't start drinking. Broken heart isn't worth of wasting your life on getting drunk. I'm not saying that you shouldn't drink, but do it occasionally, rare and always think of what are you doing. Don't endanger other people's life as you shouldn't endanger your own. Life is precious and we don't want to waste it on stupid things, do we? Take care mate! P.S. Drink won't help you forget... It will, but it won't last long.

You are absolutely right, my friends! I drink in moderation but never for any other reason than the fact that it tastes good.
If I am feeling down the best cure for me is to curl up with a good book, and a couple of Vice Vukov CDs. :)
I like what you said about life being precious. You are sooooo right.

Drinking is really a addiction and not easy to quit all of sudden. But good thing is there are many rehabilition center for helping to get rid of these habits. Try them and make a great change in your life.

Life has teach me that it is always a bad idea to drink too forget any problem, it never helps and in fact most times will make the original problem worst and cause problems of it's own; as you found out.

I think drinking doesn't helps in forgetting any painful incident. Moreover it increases emotional pain. Have drinks only for enjoyment and that to within a limit. Enjoy this God gifted beautiful life.

I don't drink when I have problems as it is not a solution and will just give you hang- over and headache after especially if you drunk so much. Usually what I do is I talk to my close friends and cry if I need to. Crying helps me feel better after especially if there is someone ready to listen to you.

aloo!
I had that same experience,getting drunk to get that guy's attention of bringing him back and getting drunk to numb the pain. Good thing, I realized that all I'm ruining is myself and his so lucky that I was thinking to much about him. Now, I know I still love him and miss him. I just keep on telling myself there is a much much better guy that's gonna come my way. Who loves me and I love him more. I never regretted everything, It just opened my eyes that something are not to be. The best thing you can do is accept and move on. That's what I'm trying to do, I've never been happier and I don't need a partner to be one. Good luck on you! I hope that this could enlighten you. In this way you could avoid accidents...

There are just people who don't know how to handle emotional trouble, I do that too. But I don't drink. To cope with emotional stuff, I just sleep. Which is better, I guess.
I do understand where you're coming from. Sometimes I question the existence of relationships since when love leaves, it is a heck of a pain, a pain you cannot always cope easily.
