Fuck that shit. No more.
Sep. 3rd, 2010 01:29 pmYeah that bottle of Cointreau was a bad idea.
Maybe if I ever got hangovers it'd be enough of a deterrent that I'd stop drinking like this. Sad that I even think that way. I should stop because it's a bad thing, not because of a headache, pff. Kinda telling that at 1pm the next day I still feel ever-so-slightly woozy, like the drink didn't wear all the way off even now.
I can't blame Miles either, even if he was technically the one drinking this time - it's my body and I could have at any point said "okay that's enough, stop it". I have far more bad habits than him anyway and alcohol is just as much my weakness as it is his. I should just not BUY booze if I can't be reasonable about drinking it and if I can't stop voices in my fucking head from deciding they want to get slaughtered on a near nightly basis. I should have known it was a bad idea when Jei suggested having a drink with Miles last night when we were sampling the Cointreau because she wanted to talk with him. She wanted to help him figure shit out, since all of the crazy shit from the other day. And hey, now almost a full bottle of Cointreau is gone because he was very happily drinking it like it was water and shit my memory doesn't usually blank but last night is fucking hazy after a while.
Fuck, I woke up and Jei isn't even in the house. She had to go to an exhibition today about a statue she's been asked to make for them. I should have been up to help her get ready. My own fault. I feel so fucking guilty.
Fuck that shit, man. Fuck it to hell. I'm not buying anything harder than a single little bottle of Magners or Bulmers cider from now on. Maybe I'll go fucking tee-total. Sorry Miles, you won't like that... but you're always on my case about my health. Sure, I can eat better, drink more water, exercise and get off the computer for longer... but drowning my liver in alcohol isn't good for my health either. Why are you so much more sensible about some things than me, then completely irrational about others? Scourge would insist that you're a junkie and you need SOME excuse to be fucked up. Is he right? Maybe if you WERE more canon you wouldn't be such an idiot. But heck, I'm just as much an idiot. Worse really.
I had the beginnings of an alcohol problem even before Miles came along. Wtf is my problem? My neighbour died of liver disease... No. My neighbour KILLED HIMSELF at the age of forty-something and left a note because he was slowly dying from liver disease and couldn't stop drinking even then. His only release was death. I could say I'm fine, that I'm not like that, but how does it start? It starts JUST LIKE THIS. A habit that was already easy to pick up with my addictive personality, and slowly and steadily got worse over time, especially during the almost-three-months that Jei was away and I was drinking about a bottle of vodka every couple of nights. Now I can barely go out without itching to buy something new to try or an old staple.
I like being tipsy, but often I overdo it because I don't wait long enough before taking another gulp. And then there's my little headmate Miles, who likes getting DRUNK, as fast and as hard as possible. He won't use mixers or drink anything with a 'paltry' alcoholic content. Like it's not proper drinking if it's not at least 35 - 40%? So stupid. He makes my habit even more dangerous. He just wants to get out of his head... or maybe out of mine. Maybe he does it because it's easier to push me down that way. Maybe he thinks it gives him more control. Or maybe he just has a fucking bad habit, like me. Well I'm sorry but no more of this shit for either of us. Alcoholism is a bad bad thing. I could lose more than a few hours of memories - I could lose my friends, my family, my future prospects, my life. Sad that one of the very few things my alter and I can agree on is that we like to drink. Sadder still that I didn't put a stop to this much much earlier. I can't afford to wait 'til I wind up in hospital or worse.
I've got to make changes, to a LOT of things in my life. And I'm going to, starting with NO MORE DRINK.
