Drink Too Much, Time To Go Home

Lately I have been thinking to myself, maybe its about time I return home. Since moving to Siem Reap a few years ago, I drink too much and go to the bars everyday out of boredom. Argue with the girlfriend everyday because i drink everyday and don't help out around the house and maybe time to man up and stop the cycle. Thoughts?

This place is not for everyone...Depending on how long you have been away? If you have family and money to fall back on maybe the time is near? Just don't end up homeless/helpless!

It is a very easy cycle to fall in to, and the fact that you recognise it is half the battle won. Boredom is often a bedfellow of heavy drinking, and I have suffered similar to you in the past. Money in the bank, nothing better to do, go to the pub. Get rinsed. Rinse and repeat. Fortunately I had good friends and family around to make me realise I was in a terrible spiral. It all seemed like so much fun at the time. Until it stops being fun. Have you tried 1 day on, 2 days off (or cycles of a similar nature)? Drinking in and of itself is not the main issue. Drinking too much and it impacting your health and your relationships is.

Lacking of work / constructive hobbies is the key to boredom^^

I'm not rich but I get by, I am generous when I am drunk and buy drinks for people with no real connection to me but complain the next morning when the gf wants money for durian! It's not good really is it!

Do you not have any other interests or hobbies to occupy your time ?

Since i stopped my 24/7 job i was doing for +30 years, i went to Phuket with the Sandbox programme, 103 days later came to PP and every year more and more. Now for 2 years i dont drink anything on monday, tuesday and thursday. I do go to the pub but no alcohol. And for me that works fine. Boredom and drinking is the perfect storm, but if yo skip the alcohol its completely different. And ofcourse being sober is also boring if between big drinkers. One of my drinking-bodys past away in PP in may, he was only 72 and heavy drinker, an other wake up call for me !!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Sober up man. People have survived much worse.

I went to AA in siem reap, some good guys there. I wasn't totally sober and shouldn't have gone really.. but it definitely helped reign it in

It might be time to switch on weed...Fills the boredom, makes people talk more, cools people down, gives creative ideas....as long as it's not a stoner life from breakfast to bed, and as long as you can purchase it and smoke it without hassle, then definitely worth a try, IF you are really struggling leaving alcool.
