I was sexually hurt as a child?

Question

I am strong. Nothing effects me. I have noticed that my drinking alcohol has gotten out of control. Any questions, thoughts, comments would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if you're asking a question, or making a statement. If you're making a statement, maybe you should get some help. Out of control drinking is dangerous. Not only for your body, but for others around you.

Answer 2

Was drinking to drunkenness demonstrated in your home?
When ever you make the self-observation that your behavior is "out of hand", it is best to take control of the situation as soon as possible. However you take control the most effective is the way it needs to be done. If this is something you can't decide then counseling is recommended. Learning how to communicate to yourself can be improved by counseling. You learn your inner strengths and develop confidence to make best choices for the results you want to happen.
If you have concerns regarding possible sexual abuse they need to be understood by you. It is important you learn you had absolutly NOTHING to do with it. You were a child. You are in a society where children look to adults and trust them for guidance. Abuse is hidden under the facade of phoney image.
The parents are both to blame even if only one is actually the abuser. Usually, the male is the sexual abuser and the Mother knows of it but will ignore it. More than likely it happened to her as a girl too. She is only acting as her Mother demonstrated for her.
Denial is a safe place to live. It teaches you how to be numb.
No feelings are better than pain. Hold back. Learn to keep your feeling hidden from everyone including yourself.
If you have recoglection of abuse as a child, I wish you clear understanding of how you were the victum. You did not have control. As a child the adult was overpowering. It is
Great you are strong with a toughness to get through it!
You can let yourself feel it. If it hurts then cry it all out.
You are a feeling person that is sensitive to emotions. It is safe now to allow yourself to feel again. It is okay. You are the adult in control now. When you make the choice to drink to be drunk you give your control away.
It isn't taken from you . You let it go.

Yes you are strong and a survivor. Don't be a statistic. Most sexually abused children can shut down emotions and feelings. Turn them on and off. You are effected, by staying a victim. Nothing or no one should ever over power you again. Go get help.

Talking about it helps, It just takes time and you never get over it... you just don't hurt as bad after a while. or at least I didn't. I talked to a friend but I found it alot easier to talk to someone that I didn't know. someone I felt would not judge me. Just be honest with yourself first.
