Bizi,

Is it the case that when you are home you are happier with how you handle food and alcohol?
What is the main difference for you about being out?

I think there are a couple things in play. last night I felt like drinking, social anxiety stuff but not really that is why I stopped at the half a wine spritzer. I had already had too much to eat. and I feel like I have to be doing something with my hands around new people, my social anxiety comes rearing up. I did ok there, talked with some new people and felt ok about that.
thanks for asking. We have another christmas party on tuesday night so my have a couple of drinks there.

Bizi,

You felt that you did o.k. That is great!!

Some people plan ahead before they go to an event. I think that is what you are doing. I remember hearing about how Olympic athletes practice each move in their mind. Often they have special trainers / psychologists working with them. Musicians and other performers often prepare like athletes. A person could use those same techniques for any event.

Here is something I learned about going to events: People are paying attention to themselves much more than they are to me:
http://www.thedailymind.com/how-to/h...al-gatherings/
Quote:
Sometimes it is useful to say to yourself, “I am not that important. People are not thinking about me at every moment. My every move is not being scrutinized.” If you be realistic you will come to realize that most people are too wrapped up in their own issues and neurosis to be concerned with you.
Now when I go an event, I focus on putting others at ease.

I hope that you can feel good about going to the next Christmas party.

M

bizi - If you are happy with yourself, then you are doing great! (that's the criteria I use)

Mari - you are right. It helps to prepare ourselves mentally ahead of time. And all sorts of people do that all the time for different reasons. Thanks for the link to the article, I enjoyed reading it.

I am not happy with myself.
I drank a strong beer really fast before we went to a christmas party to help with my social anxiety issues. then had 2 large spiked eggnogs and then a nother beer in a short amount of time then came home and had another beer then 2 rum balls.
sigh
I forgot my tdoc appointment this past week. she is supposed to be helping me stay sober.
sigh
I like drinking...I don't see this stopping any time soon. with the holidays coming soon.
