It was works xmas meal today. A lot of people went (including my bf who i have been having difficulty with)and i was nervous so i brought a bottle of vodka into work and drunk beforehand. When at the restaurant i felt so confident and carefree and i didnt give a damn what anyone thought of me. Why do i find it so hard to be confident without the alcohol?

Because alcohol allows you to be the person you want to be and you don't like being the sober person you are.
as it was a work do you were able to hide your 'need' for alcohol as I suppose that most people were drunk. BUT what are you going to do when you are not at a party?
before your dependance spreads to your 'normal working day' you need to speak to someone who advises alcoholics. You have passed the first stage, acknowledged that you have a 'strange' relationship with alcohol.

well lovie looks like you have joined the long line for AA. When you drink you feel confident on top of the world and then you wake up next day oh my god what have I done???? Well I will tell you, you have taken a bit of confidence you did have away and so on. You will then have to drink more and more until you cant stop. Then you lose friends, money, job and then your health along with your life. Drink is the biggest liar out it will make you feel so safe and warm but it is taking more and more from you everytime you drink it. Trust me don't go down that road get a grip ditch the boyfriend and learn to respect yourself.

because as the advert says alcohol makes you feel invinsible, pain is easier to cope with whilst drunk, i have the same problem and i often get drunk when depressed or just wanting to chill out and have a laugh without thinking about the consequences of what i may do. but the problem with getting drunk is people think you are doing things you aren't. e.g one night me my fella and his family n friends were down in a field when all the hay bales had been put into that black selofane stuff and i was chatting to one of our mates, cuz i was drunk and we were away from the rest of the group they thought stuff was happening and cuz i didnt remember doing that because it didnt happen the family didnt believe me and were off with me for months. alcohol is not the answer and id advise keepin away for a while. or cutting down IMENSLY!!! a whole bottle is a bit much dont cha think?

Only alcoholics NEED alcohol to relax and have a good time. You should start going to alcoholics anonymous, or seek some other kind of counseling. It can turn into a very bad habit.
Having drinks socially isn't a big deal, but in your case, when you NEED the alcohol to have a good time, you need to reconsider the life you are leading.

Years ago when I took my A-levels I drank a litre of whisky before every exam (got mostly B's). Alcohol is great for calming nerves.
These days I don't drink. I am an alcoholic. There is probably a lesson there. Anyway I am glad you enjoyed the party.

You sound quite young; I can tell you that confidence grows with age, the older you are the less liquor you need, due to the experience taking the place of that uninhibited tipsy feeling...

Alcohol is a depressant which in turn depresses your doubts/negative feelings and leads to increased confidence. Its false confidence.

Alcohol causes one to lose their inhibitions. It's a normal effect of the alcohol.

Sounds like you need to change your life/bf/job. I remember them days, the booze just delays the inevitable.
