Minor Alcohol Use

yeah I know its not great. But sometimes when my mind gets to riled and insane from everything thats going on inside it, I get frustrated and need a drink. I don't get drunk, rarely get buzzed. Just help myself to rum and coke or some other concoction every now and then. I figure if this continues it could be a problem :/ Advice?

bonjour John!

I've occasionally been told I am a bad influence (usually by those who hardly know me though), so my advice should be taken with a grain of sand, rice, or a small delicious treat.

In my opinion it is rather common for underage kids to be drinking and/or using/experimenting with drugs. I believe the purpose for ingesting said drugs is what should determine whether the individual has a problem or not. I perfectly understand your frustration leading you to take a drink - to relax and relieve stress, yes yes? But problems will arise if you find yourself growing physically (or mentally) dependent on anything (including television, eating in excess, etc). When taking any drugs you absolutely must know your limits, keep your cool and handle yourself responsibly, be in a safe environment and know to use in moderation and not excess. If your drinking isn't very frequent (and stays this way), you're not drinking large amounts that make you feel totally out of control or sick, I would tell you not to think badly of yourself for it. Since you are the one in control and know yourself better than any of us, I'd say you will know if and when you have a predicament.

ps. I'm a minor myself, and through all the drug-taking I've done I can happily state I've never been physically dependent on any drug. I've done drugs to cope with the anger and stress that comes with your gender and physical sex mismatching. It helps, but only for a period of time (unless you embark on a mental journey in which you find a higher ground and peace with yourself). When you come down, make it a goal to find a more permanent way to assist in making yourself more at ease with your predicament (or your self). So if you're upset sometime and you want to drink but feel some apprehension, I suggest going for a walk/jog, cranking up some music on your stereo speakers, drawing or whatever you like to do that relaxes you. If all else fails - take up an instrument or something you've never tried before. Sorry for the length and all man, I'm buzzing off three cups of rather strong coffee and I wanted to be thorough. Peace friend!

lmao thanks for all the advice. You can never bore me man, so don't hesitate to talk to me :]

Thankfully I can gladly say Ive never delved into drugs, been tempted xD but no. And my drinking is very limited, usually only one drink and not often. Not because I cant handle more but I choose not too. It does not please me, just something to calm the nerves. I love all of your other suggestions. I used to play the Alto Sax last year, guess it wouldnt hurt to bust it out again and play a little tune. I also need to write more if I'm ever going to get all the books i have planned in my head published lol. Yeah....I'm always up into the wee hours of the morning. I sadly dont need the caffiene either hence why it is 5 a.m right now...

Maybe Im a vampire...O____O

Oh SNAP!

Lol

John,

I am so glad that you do not dabble in drugs, alcohol can be addictive too so drinking when depressed is a bad idea.

Break out that sax, learn a few blues tunes and wail!

I do that on my trumpet sometimes, I also write some very depressing poetry.

Love ya,

Sally

Yeah sally, writing is my strongest talent I have.

I write very depressing poetry. Although my best work (in any kind of writing) is cranked out when I'm sad.

The words flow together and become an amazing piece of art I never knew I was capable of.

So my best pieces are from when I was writing during some off moment or another.

Thanks for the concern Sally <3

Love,

John

John,

I guess we are sort of alike, poetry flows when I am depressed or really happy - just feeling OK - no poetry, muse seem to like strong

emotions and depression can be very strong.

Feel free to post some of your poetry here - sharing is also very good.

I have a lot of my poems here, the depressed ones are mostly older but i have some happy ones too.

Love ya,

Sally

Get some sleep John,

The forums will be here when you get up.

There is a poetry forum and we have blogs as well.

I have posted some so dark that I got instant PMs and even a few phone calls over them - so we do read them and even appreciate where they come from.

Love ya,

Sally

      Yay!!! 😀 What's her name?

      Yep, I can see that too, especially if satire goes wrong.  I can totally understand why the uneducated hoi polloi think that gender identity and sexual preference (and now, pedophilia) are one and the same, and it weaponizes their bigotry. I touched on this in another thread recently when I asked the question whether the LGBTQIA+ umbrella was actually too inclusive and should be split, in an attempt to stop this sort of nonsense. I don't know the answer; while I think it is important for non-cis and non-het folk to band together, it leaves us wide open to attack.

      Good morning, everyone!   Sorry I've been absent so much. I truly miss the interaction with you all.    We have a new yellow Lab female puppy in the house as of Saturday so it's a challenge to find time to be here as we get her settled into a schedule, work on housebreaking and training, etc.    So, I'll check in as I can...when I can get a few minutes as she sleeps.   She slept 6 hours last night so we're making progress and we've been attentive to her schedule so no accidents in the house as of now.   She's consistently following the Sit command already - the wonder of puppy treats.    Be safe!!
    • April Marie
      New puppy. New schedule for now.

      Yeah, it is a real treat trying to combat the effects of an unwanted male puberty, or unwanted female puberty. Who will supply these kids with funding when they try to transition as adults? Insurance companies do everything they can to weasel out of paying for facial surgery, voice/speech therapy/voice surgery, and electrolysis. Not to mention the pain we all go through with these procedures that we may not have to endure as much with proper care at an early age. I cringe at what the next trans generations are going to face. The governor and his ilk, are typical of these super-majority R led states. Unless there is a huge change in the next 6 months, I am fearful of where things are heading. I feel like more bad stuff will unfold. I do not think they are done crucifying us.

      Good morning    Work day today, no pool time, and no dress.  Just a uniform top and slacks.   Thank you for asking about my wife, @Ashley0616 , she is improving all the time and getting anxious to be rid of the med vac.  She keeps telling people a couple mor weeks be even with the speed at which she is recovering, I think that is more wishful than reality.   i received both compliments about my dress as well as my ability to speak before the congregation.  My little frog was right there with me but then he is a permanent resident in my voice.  Some days worse than others and I never know until I start speaking.  Maybe I need a frog exorcism.  Oh our church doesn’t do that.  Shucks.   well the humidity is coming back today along with possible rain and warmer weather.   I guess a lot of you are getting hit with smoke from Canada again this year. I recall last year you could see and smell it here.  It a shame to loose so many trees when we need them for climate control.  I was surprised to learn the South Carolina was the largest producer of wood in the states. We have a great deal of wet and swamp land that the plant and harvest and plant again.  While some makes it to the mills to become construction material, mose goes to one of several paper mills.  Those trees are clear cut and trucked to the mills to be cleaned mulched and processed along with recycled paper.the closest mill to here makes brown board which become packaging material like corrugated cardboard.   i guess we have rather ideal conditions for southern pine tree growing.  That along with cotton, rice indigo, tobacco and cash food crops fruits and vegitables and pecans, can’t forget the nuts.  You can take that more than one way and be right.   enjoy you day whether at work or at play.   Willow

      I wasn't really aware of an emotional roller coaster possiblity when I started.    A few days in I realized i had been living with some tension that I was able to ignore until it went away. One morning it was just 'why I do I feel better than usual'?   So I googled around and found that it was possible to have such a result, I was thinking it would just take time for physical effects to work on my emotions.   Some talk about finally being able to cry, I have always been an excellent crier, so on HRT I cry REALLY hard.   But laughing was never really that easy for me, and now I laugh out loud way more often. Love that part of the roller coaster.

      Satisfaction Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.
