So I know I'm not the only person who has to deal with this. Being surrounded by drunkers isn't fun. Especially when they start fighting. Tonight, the house where I live in decided to through a party without letting anyone else know. I currently live with my aunt, due to some drama at home, and they are all alcohics. I'm a seventeen-year-old currently but I do not drink or any of the sort, so my only friend is my thirteen-years-old cousin and fifteen-year-old step cousin every other weekend in this house. So anyway, my nineteen-year-old cousin and her friends came home and started drinking. My grandmother, aunt, and step uncle began drinking. So we had a total of 9 people drunk here. And then, what happens next. The parents always fight when they get drunk, over the stupidest of things,, and they began fighting again. So everyone but me, who was trying to eavesdrop to see what was wrong now, went outside to basically hide. Now I can't stand fighting or drinkers due to my old trauma that I can't necessarily remember but can still feel the fear and anxiety. So I ended up sitting on the couch, drawing a picture with a blanket around me, waiting for it to all end. I can't really tell if I'm trembling from the cold or from the fight. And unfortunately for me I have no where else to go and cannot return home so I'll deal with it. So like I said at the beginning, I know I'm not the only one who goes through this. So, let me here you stories. Vent some of your unhappy incidents about drinking.
Drinking changed someone I know. They've gotten a bit better now but in the beginning a few years ago it was kinda bad. They'd attempt to drive drunk, apparently once tried to force themselves on someone because they were that far gone, and once I personally saw them in their full out drunken stupor and I was sort of disgusted and scared cuz I didn't recognize them. I'm kinda turned off by drinking now. Like I'd be way too afraid to let myself get drunk cuz I see what shit can happen. I still might engage in casual 1 glass of a fruity alcohol drink but that's it really.
Neko-tama: thanks. Headphone's help a lot with tuning out. ^.^ Akagami: same here only I don't bother to even drink. then again i'm not legal, but alcohol always tasted nasty if not over powered by fruitiness. :)
My lover goes through it too and have PTSD from it and axiety. She listens to music and lock herself in a room. She also tries talking to them very carefully so no harm be done and goes outside. To feel better to she wears bright colors and draw. If you do have a pet well she hugs her pet too to feel safe.
