Has this ever happened to you??

now u have to be truthful about this. tell me if it has ever happened to you or if you know of anyways to stop it apart from giving up my drink.

i was drinking at a party and we were still going at it at 5 in the morning. i suddenly got this feeling of being sick and ran to the front veranda and hung over the rail. nothing happened. i sat down then to get some fresh air into my lungs. when i began to cry. i hadn't had a drink in over an hour so i was beginning to sober up. i was crying when my friend came out to see if i was ok. then my bf came out to see if i was alright. i told them i was fine and they went back inside. i suddenly got this feeling of needing to be held be my bf while i cried. but i let that feeling die and let the tears fall more. after about an hour of this, i went to bed.
now the last three times i have had any kinda of alcohol in my system, whether i was drunk or typsy, i have alwasy cried at the end of the night.
i don't know why i do it or how to stop it. it ruins the night for me altogether. i just don't know whether it's like a slap in the face telling me to wake up back to reality and that life really isn't like this. that soon i will have to place that smile back on my face. i don't know what it is. if someone could help me that would be great.

well the fact that your 15 worries me but anyway when you drink your inhabitions are lowered, which means thatyou often do things you wouldn't do when your sobre. Also it means that you could get highly emotional. All people react differently to this when their drunk, some get really angry, some do really stupid things, and some like you may cry. It is because you are vunerable. Really i don't know how to stop it but maybe you should be asking yourself if there is a reason you feel like crying and feel upset. often people who feel as if something is hurting them but can never cry about it because they don't want to feel weak, often start crying when their drunk as drinking relaxes people and often makes them do things they would do normally. There is probably a underlining cause for your crying. so if your worried, stressed, anxious or upset about something try and sort it out and then maybe it will stop. but although you don't want to hear it. your 15 and you shouldn't be drinking. i know everyone likes to experiment but you can still drink without getting drunk. trust me it will do more harm than good. but i suppose that's the last thing on your mind.

what a bummer.
maybe you should stop drinking.

Nope, never happened to me.

Drinking is the problem. They call it liquid courage ofr a reason, but it can also be liquid emotion. Sure drinking with your friends can be fun, but there is a line between fun and a drinking problem. Sadly when you are the drinker that line becomes harder to distinguish. Being 15 is hard enough at times, why add a drinking problem in to the mix?

ok well Bob, i don't drink every night of my life and i have never gotten high. i don't see the point in drugs. if i do drink it's only once a month when i'm at my friends house. i don't drink at parties. i know how to control my alcohol intake. plus my schooling is fine. i'm getting the makrs i should be and thats all that matters. i'm not one of those rank adolescents who go drinking till they are blind. i don't drink to drown my sorrows. i drink to enjoy the night. and i wasn't that drunk cause i remember the whole night. so Bob if u want to go telling people to get a grip on life, know the facts of why they drink and not just guess them.

oh and there is nothing wrong with drinking at 15 when the parents are in the house completely sober making sure you don't do something you regret and finding out if u are mature enough to drink yet or wether you should wait another year.

well those parents aren't very responsible then. they should no better

OMG!!! Bob you don't see what i'm getting at. i'm not talking about drinking and learning a lesson. i didn't throw up at all, i don't drink to get away, i know my own limit. i dn't exceed 5 drinks. u have twisted the whole topic. i'm not surprised you haven't locked it yet. you have totally killed my whole positive view on my situation. thanks alot to all the people out there that are meant to be there for advice and to talk to. you have made me feel a whole lot better about the situation by saying that what i'm doing is wrong and thinking that i live off the bottle. thanks a bunch.

Wow OK people I think that everyone needs to take a step back and calm down a bit *big sigh* Ok I'm a minor also and I drink once in a while and a lot of my friends drink *once in a while also* and I see nothing wrong with it as long as you don't get drunk everynight and your responsible ^.^
Hopeing for Happiness you cry when you drink because it lowers your built in defences that help you keep your feeling controlled. There's nothing wrong with you at all! Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. Maybe you should talk to your bf about it so that he can be there for you when you do start crying. It's always better to have someone holding you hand then to go though it all alone ^.^
Hang in there and I'm here if you want to talk =)

OMG thank you Rhea. you are the best. thank you for understanding the topic of the whole thing. thank you thank you thank you.

I don't understand why people are having a go at you for drinking at 15. Every 15 year old i know has had alcohol at least once. As long as you're careful it shouldn't be a problem, especially to people who don't know you! Hang in there, and do as Rhea says, it's always good to have support. Good Luck X x X

The 'deal' is that she could kill herself if she does go overboard. And I think 'still going at it at 5 in the morning' explains full well that she was going a TAD overboard.

Has happened to me loads, used to happen every time i got drunk, always right at the end, when you think your sobering up, bad memories always used to come up, at one point i was at my friends house talking to them about it and forgetting they were there i just went into the bathroom and started slitting my wrists with a kitchen knife =s
Now i get drunk almost every night and its never a problem, because i've sorted my life out a bit.
Point is theres something going on in you life thats making you upset and it comes up when your coming off the alcahol, if you solve the problem when your sober it will stop coming up when your drunk =]
Oh and you wont know it at first because its probably somewhere in your subconcious. it will be something like a deep insecurity or a very bad memory you've blocked out.
Hope this helps
