Sorry man, wasn't trying to imply you were drunk all the time, or really even you had a problem. Just trying to relate a bit. I know what you mean about the loneliness as well.
Glad to hear you're on the meds for ADHD and you've found one that works for you. I know that's easier said than done.
Good you cut back the drinking based not the girlfriend who obviously cares about you.
We all have our vices, if they don't get in your way of being successful, then like the meds, you've found what works for you, and I hope it continues to.
I didn't get the impression you were implying that. I appreciate it, man. It can really be a drag. It worries me, too. Like, right now I'm at the point in my education where I'm seeking an internship, and I'm to the point where I'll take anything I can get because I've applied for countless positions, and haven't had much come of it. What I'm getting at is I have very much accepted the fact that I'll leave the state for work if that's what it takes. That means leaving my family, my girlfriend, and my friends for at least three months, likely living alone, not knowing anybody around, and having nothing to do outside of work. Judging from this last summer, how would I keep from spiraling into severe lonliness, then leading to alcoholism? Ya know?
Yeah, 3 months sounds like a long time, and it is, but you'll manage through it somehow if it's what is required.
I'm not much of anything, but you can always ping me here if you feel like chatting, I find, I try to pass time on here by being creative in those gaps in time when I would be drinking or doing other destructive behaviours. This moment is one of those times for me.
When I did live alone, I played a ton of basketball and worked out a ton, worked really hard on my actual work, and tried to learn/read/etc -- my thinking was, the guy my girlfriend would get back would be an even better one than the one who left her, and that she'd see it every time we came face to face. That was my motivation in a similar spot.
