Never in my life did I think this would happen.
During my teenage years, I had this mindset that I would never drink alcohol, do drugs or any other harmful substances. I always had this fixation that I would be clean. However, during my high school years I was at parties twice with my class, and both times there were alcohol involved. I didn’t drink anything since I disliked the taste of alcohol, and I was too scared to try something new. But during those parties, I didn’t do anything. Barely said a word. I was too nervous to do or say anything. Note that I have autism, so my social skills suck. I started wondering if I should’ve drank alcohol to get drunk so that I could’ve socialized with people. I had anxiety over the fact that I didn’t socialize during those parties.
And then one day it happened. I was visiting my aunt and she introduced to vodka. She wanted me to try alcohol for the first time since I was finally of legal age. And lots of teenagers try alcohol when they’re way younger than me, so I felt like I was missing out if I didn’t atleast give it a try. I took a few vodka shots and got drunk for the first time in my life. I suddenly felt like the most confident person on the planet. I was able to talk to people and say what I wanted to say. I didn’t feel shy when talking to other people. The vodka tasted horrible, but I loved the feeling of being drunk. That was the beginning of my alcohol addiction.
I started drinking alcohol at high school parties and other social activities. But I didn’t drink ’’for fun’’. I drank just to get drunk so that I could lower my inhibitions and talk to other people. I always skipped meals before so that my stomach would be empty. I would then drink alcohol rapidly to get drunk. I would even drink alcohol at school, so that I could talk to people and my crush. Having alcohol in school is prohibited, of course. But I never got caught. I would constantly bring alcohol to school, hidden in my bag and then drink it in a toilet to get drunk. Then I would walk around school, talk to girls and other people.
But I’ve graduated high school now so I feel okay about telling this. I also drank alcohol during my prom and graduation, but everyone does that. Luckily, the end of high school might also have ended my alcohol addiction. I no longer had a reason to get drunk. Now that high school is over, my liver can finally rest. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
