Is a lack of self control a product of a personality defect or just not caring about/thinking of the consequences?

For example, When I have a few drinks, self control goes out the window. And I have got myself into some situations where I'm still suffering due to my spastic behaviour to this day.

I did have a habit of thinking fk it, I'll think about it in the morning. IE spending money which was already set aside for paying off bills/loans which on reflection have put me right up st creek.

Maybe I'm just a who doesn't really give a fk.;/

no such luck I'm afraid. Just reflecting on my stupidity over the past few years.


As it happens I have been accepted onto a uni course, so I should be happy but am feeling st tbh.

Due to my inability to care about my finances in the past I'm struggling to fund it.

If you are staying away for the course take a bar job in one of the uni bars for a few nights a week - money for your course and loads and loads and loads of girls biggrin

Oh dear.

Really, I wouldn't worry about it too much tech'. It's just all part of having fun and growing up ( not trying to be potronising) everyone does it to some extent.

Just enjoy your young life and trust me in 10 years you will be recalling storys of your crazy days!

Don't worry about it. thumbup


P.S you're a massive knob head.

Man, if i had a quid for every morning i woke up and counted how much money i DIDN'T have after my antics, well then i wouldn't be typing this.

I suppose there is an element of you realising the 'problem' - but ho hum, st happens.

Get on with it, do your course and get a bar job to fund it, if that's what you need to do.

Then, whilst you are at uni mind and take full advantage of your surroundings wink

I was the same, which was why I gave it up completely 15 years ago. When you've woken up in a variety of police cells, jails and hospitals, in several countries, oblivious as to how you got there, then it doesn't matter whether you have self control or not, something is wrong with you when you're drinking.

I tried pretending I was just loose and wild and care free, but I finally realised I was just stupid.

Trust me there is a flip-side to this, which is having so much self-control that you wish you could just say "fk it" (not a fatty) a bit more easily.

If you know you turn into a muppet after a few drinks, then it seems pretty silly to carry on and drink.......

Why not have one drink to be sociable then call it a day.

It used to be fun years ago, when I first gave it up, going out in port with the rest of the guys, watching them all turn into drunken, slobbering, slurring idiots, but it gets old after a while. hehe
