You've got a drinking problem. Seek therapy and look up AA meetings. It doesn't seem like you're truly holding yourself accountable here due to the constant reminder of how drunk you were. This could escalate to serious problems in the future.

I don't intend to hide behind the alcohol, I am completely aware that this is my own fault and I don't want to run from the accountability. The only reason I mentioned the alcohol was to get the events across as accurately as possible. I don't have a drinking problem so I don't really think an AA meeting would do much but staying away from alcohol all together is definitely something that I am contemplating right now. As is therapy.

If you sexually assault someone while you were so drunk you don't even remember all the details that's pretty much the definition of a problem.

No obviously the situation at hand is deeply problematic, I could never argue against that, I meant I don't have an alcohol addiction.

Edit: Also, that still doesn't mean it's a drinking problem, as others have pointed out it's a self control problem.

What happened in this story could be in a textbook on alcoholism.

I'm not saying you're drinking most days. I'm saying if you show up to an apartment where there's alcohol and end up drunk despite being the only one, then yes you have a problem with alcohol. Just quit drinking, look what it has cost you
