I would definitely consider it more acceptable for an individual with Asperger's syndrome to drink alone as opposed to someone who is neurotypical. It is our nature.
But I also need that social lubrication. I don't secrete it very well on my own

I know why I self-medicate. I've just really failed toinght. Hoping I can do better tomorrow and past that..
I'm tired of drinking, but I'm about to grab another... I'm just hoping I can get my life together after this. Like tomorrow.
edit: I need to get past this. Had I just stayed in my aparmet alonm I would have been fine. Instead I tried alcohol. This is artificial. Other people have real problems to deal with. Me? I just drink too much to try and deal with ti. I need to stop pulling this bullshit,. |

| Are Energy Drinks considered to be drugs? I'd like to break the addiction and the habbit. Those drinks are becoming very expensive and it's getting to the point that I don't have the finances to support that addiction. |

I don't "misuse" stuff, but I have had a servere caffene addiction in the past, which I have managed to cut down to the bare minimum as it was effecting every last aspect of my existance, I could not even go to the corner shop because I would have to buy a coke, it was so stupid.
As for alcohol, yes I do drink, i enjoy going to the bar and drinking occasionaly and at home. I suffer from really bad period and menstrual problems and I am often in s**t loads of pain every month, and the only thing that will allow me any repreive from the agony is a few drinks of whiskey, and nobody can begrudge me that. |

Last year I went through a bad period of depression, and I was drinking at least every second night to help me cope with it. When I look back on it it didn't really make me feel much better. I'm glad I stopped. Anyways, I'm on Zoloft now which doesn't mix too well with alcohol, it seems to make depression worse.

I've "been there done that" as a alcoholic (I don't put it under a lid, because I may help somebody "out there").
For a while alcohol was the only thing that made me capable of handling my kids and my relationship with the mother of my three kids. I still love the mother, but a separation was nessecary for me to sort out my own life. Since I have to learn to live myself without anybody reminding me of daily duties. Thank god for spreadsheets with timetables....
Nowadays I'm quite sober (I have to leave blood samples to keep my drivers license due to my own decision) but I don't neglect that I can fall back anytime. And if I fall back (which I even can do by long time abstinense) I fall back hard. And need professional recovery help.
Being an alcoholic is about as annoying as having a disturbance you can't help but it is there all the time. AA has helped me a lot, and also 6 weeks on a institution where also my ex and my parents got a lot of info and somewhat opened their eyes.
I'm not proud of this, but if I can help a single person, I feel good. |

speed anyone?
The lonlier I am, the more my head gets f**** around with by girls, the more I want speed.
I want to crush my adderall up right now. Cut it into lines with a razor blade. I want to snort that sh** so bad.
I am stopping myself from doing that...again. I have started snorting my adderall (a mixture of amphetamine salts).
The rush makes me forget about those dumb bitches.
f**k it. I want to snort, but I will control myself.
I have to or I'm f****. |

I used to drink a lot of beer to help me get to sleep which never worked for long becuse I was up all night urinating. Well, better that than stay asleep and wet the bed.
Interesting thing is about three weeks ago I went off mt antidepressants and I haven't touched a drop since. I can get to bed fine now.
However I worry as I have'nt been very social and sometimes a weird crowded day out would push me to drinking. |

I havent gone a day in the last two months where I havent drunk at all. I drink to forget and to end the pain but when i sober up (eventually) the pain comes back and I want to drink more and more. I am steadily drinking more and in the past two weeks have drank from when I woke up to when I went to sleep.
