Is it normal to say "this is the last time i drink" and fail miserably?

Because I've said it a million times while really meaning it and I always fail and end up drinking like there's no tomorrow. This also happens with cigarettes.

    You lack will power. Such a shame.

      If you think will power the answer, Try using your willpower next time you get diarrhea.

        Someone doesn't understand humor.

        Also, that is a less than valid comparison.

        You don't understand jokes which leads me to believe that you are autistic.

    I hate when people say that.

    "God I was so hung over... I threw up like 3 times... I'm genuinely never drinking again."
    "Really?"
    "Yeah. Seriously!"

    And then next week...

    "Ugh I was so drunk last night. I'm never drinking again."
    "Riiight..."
    "No seriously!"
    "You say this every fucking week. You even post it on Facebook! Just either admit you like drinking, stop making promises you can't keep, or grow the will power to stick to your word!"

    And then next week...

    "I think I'm dying! Too many Jägerbombs FML!"

    Aside: Jägermeister and Jack Daniels are the 'cool' brands people who think they're 'alternative' consciously choose)

    • I never post it on facebook or anywhere else though. It's a genuine problem. I honestly mean it when I say I'm not drinking again, but sadly I never last more than a month sober.

        It seems to be a common problem judging by how often I hear it.

        In reality, don't you just mean you wish you wouldn't get as drunk as you do when you drink?

    This is like me a video games unfortunately. And we fail miserably because they've become part of our lifestyle. Unless you seek a different one it'll just happen over and over again. Like for me, I tried breaking like all my games, then sometime later went back to playing them. But what I really need to do is just want something differently.

    Is there something you want that your drinking is getting in the way of?

    TIP: Always have your favorite flavor powerade next to your bed in the morning after a night of drinking. That and some advil and you'll be good to go.

    It's normal for drunks and those under or barely of age to drink. Take the CAGE test to make sure you're not an alchy, but otherwise, you're describing most of my teens and 20s.

    It's hard to kick any habit you must summon the will power of 10,000 men.
