Hello, im a 30 year old male and decided to look up AA meetings when I came across this blog. I am not an everyday drinker, I can stop if I want to. My issue is thatI am always hyper, even sober I am super hyper. So when I drink it only makes me more hyper. Ill drink three or 4 bottles of wine in a jiff. My wife hates it nc I have good episodes and I have bad episodes. My schedule is horrible for work so im off on weekdays while she works, so if i go out with guys that I work with i get bombed. Like yesterday for instance her cousin came over with her boyfriend and wwe had dinner and movie date night, I wasavid about getting trashed and drank 2 bottles of wine in no time. But then everyone went to bed, which in this situation im so hyper I cant sleep and want to do things. So I went to the casino and for the 2nd time in 4months ive blew a substantial amount of money. $700 each time. Though it is not a crazy amount, it makes me feel terrible bc i am now penny pinching until i get my next check. I never go to the casino sober unless we have free meal comps. I guess what im saying is, what do I do. Do i not drink on weekdays when she is off. its tough necause we have a one year old. I can have one or two drinks and shut it down, its just when I put it in my head that im getting drunk and not thihnking of end result do I put my foot in my mouth, and it gives me huge anxiety. If anyone could give me a pointer on how to handle this it would be greatly appreciated. thanks, i also am in delco pa area
