    Motivate me

    ....to not go get loaded right now.

    School stress, work stress, and love stress.....all at once, and its all starting to get to me.

    I've been ok with the drinking issue since I quit in August....but right now, I won't lie....the urge to go to a bar and just drink till my money's gone is about overwhelming me right now.

    So tell me why I shouldn't.

    Prolly because if you already have these problems why would you want to add one more to the list retard. Go lift something and break some PRs instead. Do something productive before I drive down there and whoop your hick ass for being so dumb.

    If you want to focus on your problems then think on a couple you can fix and fix them. Otherwise just go to the gym and do 1 rep maxes for a while.

    Because you will turn into a fattie with all that wasted excess calories from drink and all that hard work in the gym will go to waste. Snap out of it. Every one has there ups and downs. You must take the bad with the good. Drinking will solve diddly squat. I agree with EL Peitro. Work off some steam in the Gym. Its one of the reasons I go there. Now pump those biceps.

    from the perspective of someone who has been there:

    if you're thinking about drinking to forget problems, all ya gotta do is remind yourself that there are plenty of less destructive ways to take your mind off things

    read a book, work out, watch some porn, etc., etc. whatever it takes

    being with a friend helps, too... not this internet crap... a live, flesh and blood friend

    I'm with LP on this one PMDL.Always remember that drugs and alcohol might help you escape your problems,but Only you can solve/work past them.Your body will thank you and you'll be a stronger person for it.

    Try to find other things to focus on,sometimes when I'm feeling stressed or something I...

    1)watch some of my animes,
    2)read one of my manga comics
    3)or even write out my thoughts and feelings in my personal journal

    #3 is my favorite because you can be totally honest without fear of offending someone or starting an argument

    I agree with what everybody has said so far. Drinking will just ADD to your current list of "inconveniences". Don't sabotage your fantastic achievements......Use that energy to start focusing on what its going to take to pull you through Matt....

    False.

    And Matt? Remember what you told me. Don't let other things and other people get in the way of what you want to be. And you've made it perfectly clear to yourself that you the person you want to be does NOT run and get drunk to deal with sh*t.

    Glad you hung in there, Matt! Once the binge was over the same problems would still be there, but in addition to those, you'd feel like 5 lbs. of sh|t in a 3lb. sack.

    You're an inspiration. Thanks!

    Go work out instead. Under the circumstances I would recommend inclined bench press for your upper inner pecs, kickbacks for your triceps, and leg raises for your lower abs. Hell, go do anything. Buy a magazine to read. That Victoria's Secret special might be on tonight. Do something to occupy your mind.
