Advice for someone who is scared of losing control by getting high/drunk

Don’t let people scare you too much in the replies with alcohol. But for the love of God take it slow, very very slow. Even if you’ve never been drunk the good thing is you’re probably still a lightweight and if you pace yourself well enough and eat well beforehand you’ll get to a point where you know it’s enough.

My first time I downed damn near a whole bottle of vodka and could barely control myself or remember the night. Second time I paced myself and got to a point where I could say “ok, I’m stable enough to control myself but drunk enough that any more alcohol and I won’t be able to.” However follow your gut instincts and try to have someone you trust who drinks and knows when enough is enough to have your back and cut you off if need be. Preferably someone sober. Also with most drugs the harder you fight the “high” the worse it’ll be, remember it’s a temporary feeling and it will come to pass.
