New one. What are you drinking?
Anything you want to get off your chest?
>>
Just pinot noir over here. Got out of bed 2 hours ago.
>>
Bourbon usually. Or cheap wine. Don't touch it until 5 or so, then drink all night, wake up, have coffee, wait for 5.
>>
one of my buddies gave me a handle of svedka as a birthday gift

will probably drink it straight or just mix it with some lemonade
>>
Gonna head to my local haunt in a sec. Cheap beer and shot combos all night.

Broke up with my longtime girlfriend a few days ago. Immediately went and hung out with a qt that's been crushing on me for a while. I ended up feeling her up and now she isn't answering my texts. Drinking myself silly should make me feel better, right?
>>
Been really depressed and borderline suicidal these past few weeks. A few months ago I had a thing with this chick at the bar who had a BF. She ended up leaving her BF to be with me.
Of course fast forward 2 months later and she's already losing interest in me and has found another man. Karma is a bitch I guess.
Now I get to go out to the bar tonight and feel my soul shrink when I see her walking in with the new guy. Then go home and sadly jerk off before laying in bed and try my hardest not to think about killing myself.
>>

>drinkin muhself silly should make me feel better, right?
Yeah it will if you're an alcoholic. That's what we do. You know it's the wrong thing to do though I'm sure. It just sounds like you moved a little too fast. I would have done better with the girl(s) who were interested in my if I hadn't been drunk all the time.
>>
Going to a concert by myself tonight, so I can't drink too much at the venue. Genuinely debating not going so I can stay home and drink.

Drink of choice is Coors light or a can from the local brewery.
>>
>>7998188
It's really hard to deal with it when you feel strongly about someone, but you should probably acknowledge that alcohol is part of that problem. It's easier to dwell on things when you are always putting a depressant in your system. But seriously please don't kill yourself bro. I mean it's an anonymous korean smokesignal puppetshow board but I promise I give a shit. I've had to check myself in before, and even though it didn't quite stick for me, there really are always people you can talk to and get a little help from if you reach out.
>>
>>7998200
Who's playing the show?
>>
>>7998205
Elvis Depressedly and Teen Suicide.
>>
>>7998200
Just get out of the house and go. You won't regret it months from now.

Just got myself some Tito's vodka to try out
>>
>>7998188
>Karma is a bitch I guess.
Fuck that noise. All she had was a bf, not a husband. There's no "until death" contract.

You're being too hard on yourself.
>>
Going to a friends cottage on Friday for the weekend +.
Haven't really drank since my birthday weekend (first weekend of the month). Which sucked. Was out at my in-laws, so I didn't let myself go too bad, though I wanted to. My sister in law got more sloshed than I did.
Looking forward to hitting the LC tomorrow to stock up. I've been itching for a drink bad.
Prolly just gonna get myself a bottle of vodka and maybe a few cans of cider.

Thanks anon. I would never actually kill myself but it gets really easy to think about it when you're piss drunk.
I just need to find a hobby or something to replace drinking. Every time I'm sitting at home alone the only thing I can think about is either her or going out to the bar.
>>
>>7998236
It's ok, but I still prefer Absolut
>>7998243
This, in a way. Still it's kind of asking for a bit of trouble when you try with a girl who already has a bf. Most of the girls I've wanted always had bfs and it was never a good idea, but I was so drunk back then I didn't give a shit.
>>
I drink at least ten shots nightly. I don't know why, it's just something that started a few months ago and I can't stop. It's gotten to the point where I've stopped eating any more than one meal a day because I don't want to put on weight. How fucked am I?
>>
>>7998249
No problem, I feel you. I'm not even trying to tell you you should never drink, but if you do try to resist getting shitfaced. It's hard for me not to go overboard sometimes too, but I know I drink less than I used to after I spent some time getting help. What really helped me was talking to people who had my same kind of problems to make me realize how horribly I had been treating people in my life when I was constantly wasted. I really was super-self absorbed when I was fucked up all the time.
So ultimately, I know it's rough but if you give it time and try not to dive to deep, there are other things you can do to get your mind off of it and eventually move on.
>>
>>7998258
That's the thing though, man. It's a free exchange of desires. There's nothing wrong in leaving her bf. She could do it any time for no reason at all and be perfectly justified. Same goes for the man.

Her leaving the bf means she thinks you're a better fit for her for whatever reason. It's that simple. Obviously you shouldn't make her cheat but if she wants to break up with the bf for you then that's A-Ok.

I'm also the Tito's anon. It's almost sweet and smooth like water. I like it.
>>
>>7998262
You're in the shitter now. That will go up to 12 shots a night soon enough and up from there.
>>
>>7998262
You're starting to fuck yourself, but it's not that bad yet. It will get worse if you keep doing this for years, especially if you up your nightly dosage. Just be careful and try to remain aware. And also, seriously eat. If you don't want to gain weight it's infinitely better to cut back on the booze, but since I'm an alc I know it's not that easy to just say it like that.
>>
>>7998274
>if she wants to it's a-ok
I agree with you totally, more or less I'm just saying I never was the kind of guy that could make that happen, not that seeing someone who has a bf is intrinsically wrong.
>>
>>7998279
>And also, seriously eat
That's the thing, I know everyone tells you that not eating is unhealthy but I've got to assume that keeping weight off is more healthy than putting it on? Like I know, the ideal situation is for me to stop drinking, but putting that aside, doesn't eating less just make more sense health-wise than getting fat?
>>
>>7998290
Oh I understand now. I never thought I was a guy that would pick up chicks at parties during college. And then I met alcohol.
>>
>>7998297
I'm saying if your going to gain weight, getting fatter from food is more healthy than getting fat from alcohol, provided you are eating in a way to get some proper nutrients. If you die hard want to drink, you can, but never don't eat and just accept the fact that you will gain some weight.
>>
>>7998297
Alcohol is just carbs, man. You can't survive on carbs alone.

Maybe try to stay around people if you can. When I had to check in I found out that I was having so many of my horrible habits and thoughts because I couldn't talk to anyone. It's really serious, but just don't try to drink so much and keep trying to talk to someone if at all possible.

Have you talked with her about it?

I'm sure you two gross something between $60-80k a year, which isn't amazing, but it's enough for a young couple.

Why do you think a wedding needs to cost a lot? Would you trade two months of drinking for a nice wedding?
>>
>>7998641

It's going to be a daily struggle for a while. Last day of pain pills, too. Fucking done. There's an AA meeting at the Presbyterian church 15 minutes from my house that has my name on it tomorrow.

Thank you. Seriously.
>>
>>7998691
about £45k (like $55k i think) a year
Of course I'd trade two months drinking if I could, I've been trying to have a single sober night for two months, no hope. Either way I don'trekon2 months drinking would make a dent on debt or the price of a wedding.
>>
>>7998715
You still haven't answered whether the two of you have talked about it.

Why shouldn't you both curtail your drinking and put the money towards something?

My man, I love drinking just as much, if not more than the next guy, but you need to get your priorities straight and not give up on the important things. How would you feel if she left you for being a drunk?
>>
>>7998739
We've talked around it
I've flat out told her I think we drink too much, but Friday night rolls around and we can't help ourselves. It's just easier to be out of it than sober. We've both made so many compromises I forget what we even wanted from life.
>>
>>7998761

vodka and heineken

i was addicted to heroin at the age of 21 and now i see the world as meaningless. My family tries to constantly push me down the trodden path of working a 9-5/paying rent, living the meme life. I cant explain to them that i would rather die.

I've got a gf of a few years who wants to have a family and yet i cant imagine bringing another person to suffer in this overpopulated chaotic world.

got a few of the things off my chest.
>>
Just hit 4 months sober. My drinking was completely out of control but I still get occasional urges to drink. I realized that I cannot drink moderately or even get drunk once without unleashing the beast. Any of you guys to that point yet?
>>
>>7999114
ive never had problems with alchohol, but spent about 30k on opiates over 3 months. I would knock myself out everytime and wake up a few hours later in some kind of face plant. the shit haunts my dreams to this day after being 2 years sober.
>>
>>7997970
I keep alienating people and burning bridges horribly. I hate myself but everyone frustrates me horribly. I drink currently to ease the pain of the migraines that last a week behind my right eye. I can do nothing but fuck things up. I hate myself.
>>
>>7999086
Op here back again, still drinking wine.
I think about not wanting to reproduce even if I could all the time, so I get what you're talking about. For me it's like how could I conceivable pass on these genes in good conscience when I'm a life long depressive, now really alcoholic, dude who's never had a relationship with a girl in his life. I had a friend who's a girl once and I ruined that by being a raging drunk and trying to advance on her for years. I mean, seriously I'm pretty much past thinking of finding someone. It's possible, but I just can't see a woman accepting me.
>>
>>7997970
Beer, scotch and white rum with lemonade.

I am unempleyed for about 11 months, living with my father, having heavy depressions, went to rehab 2 times. i enjoy my life, but that can change in 5 seconds and i just don't want to live anymore.

right now everything is fine, but it comes back to me often.
>>
>>7999134
You don't have to keep hating yourself if you can somehow find a way to get sober for a time where all this shit can get out of your system and stop affecting your brain and nerves. I have no doubt that your problems are real, but you have to be accepting of the fact that prolonged and heavy alcohol use will make them worse. Keep hanging on if you can.
>>
>>7997970
I just got off of a drinking hiatus. Two seconds ago sipped the first alcohol I've had in 78 days. Icehouse Edge) Not bad, though I was hoping to make it past 120, an old record.

Hopefully I don't let it get as out of control this time. And hopefully I don't lose all that I've gained these past two and a half months: Lost 15 pounds, improved relationship with family, become socially active, paid down credit card debt, and gone back on antidepressants to feel happier than I have in years. Hopefully I can keep it to two weekends a month this time. Wish me luck!

this is probably the most negative thing to say, but sometimes i feel like this is just an excuse. I agree that depressants can be depressing but alot of us dose ourselves because we see the world as depressing in the first place.

Well, I have this cousin, see. He may be the most important person in the world to me, I love him like a brother (I'm an only child). Like two years ago, he got involved with this horrible cunt who gave him HPV and herpes. She was a rebound girl that he got with for comfort after losing who he considered the love of his life. We had a lot of heated arguments and a falling out over this caustic, destructive, abusive cunt, but he won't let her go.

Even now, they're broken up (supposedly), and he still won't cut her out of his life. I keep trying to fucking "win" and get him to ghost her, but he just keeps her around. I know how ridiculous I'm acting, but she makes me so fucking angry that I'd rather burn my bridge to him than allow her to be anywhere near. If he wants her, he can kiss my ass.

I'm convinced he's been trying to buy me. We've been talking again lately, and having tons of fun. Like I said, I love him. But he's been overly-loose with his cash to the point of suspicion, going as far as spending $1000 to get me something he knows I've wanted for years (a sword from Albion Swords, great company, makes historically accurate pieces). I won't be fucking cowed into accepting her in any capacity. He can toss her out or toss me out. I fucking hate her.

Saporo
Fancy beer for me

I want to walk in front of a bus, my girl has break downs like once ever 2 weeks. I love her too much to leave, but she doesn't want help (she needs professional help).
But knowing my luck, the bus would hit me and I'd live, which would be the same shitty life as now only worse.
>>
>>7999156
I agree with you, I see the world as depressing in the first place. I do still drink because it's still unshakably inside my blood and my brain, and whatever else. But there's a lot to be found in just being open to the possibility of change and the recognition that alcohol has caused problems in your life, if it truly has. It did for me.

Hah! I did the same thing a while back. But the one meal a day rule was more because if I ate anything past noon, it would be too hard to get drunk when I got home from work. So I ate a massive calorie load. Wake up groggy-->Drink gallon of coffee-->Pig out at lunch-->Starve myself until evening-->Get hammered-->Black out-->Sleep twelve hours.

Living the dream, right?

>>7999179
Too late, already destroyed our relationship with an angry, drunk message. She wins. The harpy can fucking have him. Fuck him for coming back into my life at all. I wandered back after receiving a court summons for harpy's assault trial (she's abusive, as I said). Daddy's lawyers got her out of having to stand trial, I was going to be a witness and DRAG HER THROUGH THE GODDAMNED MUD, MARK MY WORDS SHE WOULD BE BEHIND BARS. But her father makes a lot of money so I didn't even get the chance to help bring her to justice for my bro. So she just got probation.

This is the world now. Always has been, probably. I don't even get to take the witness stand. Enough money buys a Jew to grease the wheels and make sure that the bad guys win. I'm not even a good guy myself, but she's sure as shit not good.

If this is what life is going to be like, I'm not looking forward to it. I can't even have the people I grew up with, I don't want anybody else in my life. I'm so fucking angry, my eye fucking HURTS (way less though, thanks alcohol), and my little twink faggot cousin is probably going to get back together with the harpy. Wonderful.

Thanks for listening, /ck/.

>>7999166
Seeing a psychiatrist may not be so bad as a lot of people think. It really made a difference in my life, if a slight one. There's no such thing as a first time cure, but if she's really distressed and you care about her, I think you should talk about things in the daytime and of course sober. I promise it can really help to try to find some help and people aren't always just trying to jew you out of money. If do try to jew you, you can usually identify it really quickly and leave for another option.

>>7999205
I'm sorry to hear about how horrible this is. If you have to stay in bed all day long do it, but try not to get drunk over this if you can because I suspect it will compound your negative feelings just like it has done to mine. If he's not willing to listen to you, he's just not as sad as it is. You can't expect to be able to change people. I've made that same mistake before. I think it's probably better to focus on yourself and what you can do for you to change your focus, even if it's really hard.

Drinking captain + diet coke

I don't know why I'm so drawn to drinking. Maybe it's just the loneliness that kills me. I wish I had friends that I could trust and relate to, but they all seem so distant and far away. I'm always left out of things.

Sometimes I think I just need a gf, and my loneliness can't be cured by friends. But there are just better men out there than me. Men with money, their own house, a nice car, bigger muscles, bigger paychecks. It's like I don't stand a chance.

Why can't I just be happy by myself, all alone? Why am I not satisfied with a beer while watching TV? Isn't that the definition of a good time?

I don't get blackout or aggressive or retarded like some of you. But I drink more than I should, and probably 6-20 standard drinks a night.

Feel good when I do, but my life feels stagnant. I have not motivation to do more than work and then work out after work. Random anxiety attacks, gout, and probably reactive hypoglycemia (anxiety after eating).

I should quit, but I live in Wisconsin. Whenever I am out with friends, we drink beer. Other than being a complete shut in, I really don't feel the overwhelming want to stop.

Anyone on the same page of no huge repercussions, but realize that it should probably stop?
>>
>>7999214
I do the same thing, but for me it's arguments with people. I get angry at them not because of things they've said, but because of things I know they would say, IF a certain topic were discussed, and IF I said X, and . . . And then the angry e-mails get sent, and sometimes I can't separate the real grievance from the imagined one.

Don't even act like you're gonna pick up some bar slag when there are chads there twice as charismatic than you.

>>
>>7999330
Yes! I've got a job that pays the bills and allows me to come in whenever I please, I'm in halfway decent shape (though my eyesight has gotten much worse), and I can keep getting away with it. There's no urgency. Getting life on track, achieving those goals that require sobriety, that can always wait until tomorrow. It's only when the wolf is at the door that I freak out and dry out for a while.

I posed a similar question in the last thread

I've gotten arrested for exposing my wee wee in bars and I also have a DWI

If I ever get the urge to visit a bar I bring I flask filled with whiskey and drink it discreetly in the parking lot.

When I enter the bar it's usually packed so I look for an unfinished drink, grab it and pretend I bought it

I usually have a breathalyzer with me and I don't drive until I'm under the legal limit, could take hours, and sitting in your car drunk even without the car on is risky in this shitty state

Call me what u like but what they're charging for drinks in bars in my state is criminal
>>
>>7999382
it's absolutely everywhere here; I've been sober nearly two years now and I don't socialize at all anymore. People don't do anything but [something]+alcohol.

That doesn't sound too bad. You're kind of close to the beaches. Get a little quadcopter and go hang out by the water.

Been drinking tons of local high abv (ipa) beers lately. Maybe like 8 7.5% abv beers per day.

Public health and safety. People shouldn't be encouraged to go out while intoxicated and get more booze. The kind of people getting booze that late/early are mostly irresponsible problem drinkers. I know because I am one.

Now if you were to complain about blue laws in states like Indiana and Pennsylvania, or the draconian booze laws of Utah, you'd have a point. That's just jeebus/children stuff.
>>
>>8002374
>People shouldn't be encouraged to go out while intoxicated and get more booze.

But it doesn't actually have any effect on that. When I was drinking hard (3 months sober now!) I would simply buy extra in advance knowing that options would be limited on sundays. It didn't restrict or stop my drinking one bit.

What does annoy the fuck out of me, however, is when I need to buy some alcohol for cooking purposes, but can't because of the silly law. It's extra frustrating because I'm not even going to be drinking the stuff, I need it for a stew (or sauce, or whatever).
>>
>>8002400
I agree, the Sunday blue laws are silly. But I think there is common sense behind the laws forbidding sale past a certain hour early in the morning. Drunks shouldn't be encouraged to wander into the street late at night while intoxicated.

By the way, congrats on the 3 months!

I think the secret to drinking less is having something to do. Worked until 5, went out and mowed a lawn for side money until 7:30, took a nice bath with epsom salts and changed into some pajama bottoms. Made food, dicked around online, now I'm ready to go read a book and fall asleep.

Self control? Had this gram since last Saturday, sharing it only with my brother 50/50, but I'm sure it'll be gone this weekend.

Wasted a bunch, lesson learned, NEVER use a dull razor.

I have good self control with everything except for beer, probably because I see it as a harmless vice until I tally up my 15+ total if I decide to drink that night (which is most nights). Let alone the swigs of the hard stuff. Made some apple moonshine last Friday, that shit'll put hair on your chest.

I have this problem too, but work doesn't do it for you try to read about things or socialize with other people, maybe in interest groups (lol fagt xd right). But when I started going to meetings after turning myself in I did drink a lot less and actually felt comfortable talking to people again. I know I'm cheating the program, but I'm not going into withdrawals every morning and I like going to a couple meetings a week with a big group of relatable people to talk with.

I just moved to a new city and state like 2,500 miles from everyone I love and know to try and start over. The bar is a great way for me to meet some people and at least kinda get a feel for the town. My bar has 50% off all drinks so a 24 ounce beer is $3, a cocktail is $2.75 or $3 for medium tier liquor. I can get a decent buzz (especially if I don't eat before) for like $14 walking out including a good tip.

Now I know the bartenders and a few regulars so I usually get at least one free drink each time I go there since the bartender is kinda a buddy and he likes to shoot the shit and talk sports with me. He drinks on the job too, so we usually end up getting drunk together.

Then I go home and drink. The money is starting to become an issue though since I'm not working yet. The bar is a good way to meet people and get outta my apartment, but it's not financially feasible for much longer until I get a job.

Once I start working though, my drinking will decline. I drink maybe twice a week when I'm working. If I'm not working it'll be more like 4-5 times a week.

Yea, y'all get fucked on alcohol prices. This is also in a state where liquor sales are controlled by the state. Some states have government governed liquor sales, others don't. I used to drink Jim Beam in my last state for $24 a handle. In this state it's like $30 a handle.

My old state was close to 15-20% cheaper.

I like you guys. Normally it is cheap Gin, Rum or Scotch. At the moment it's Tequila. Not more than a bottle a day.

It's a long story in which I have many fuckups and my part in it which I won't deny but I don't know if I should go back or not even if its making me unhappy beyond belief.

I kinda always joked that I was an alcoholic, until recently.

I generally drink everyday, I may not get drunk everyday, but I always have at least one to two beers.

I got put on some medicine for two weeks, during which I can't drink, because it will make me sick as fuck.

I can drink again next saturday, and holy fuck this is killing me. I'm wanting a beer so fucking badly. It's making me more irritable, and flaring my temper up more than usual.

I still got another week and a day to go. On the bright side, my first day back drinking, I'm leaving work early to go to a local brewery's 5th year anniversary with my wife.

Drink one for me, friends.

Hungover as fuck and anxious today. 2 bottles of wine last night which is the first time I've done that in months.

I was off the booze for three months and then started again due to stress, crept
back up to a bottle of wine a night these last two weeks. But last night got away from me.

been sober 19 days and my brain is finally getting somewhat back to normal I think.

I know that feel bro. I've spent numerous nights going, 'just one bottle of wine and then I'm going to bed', but after that bottle of wine I'm feeling REAL good so I drink 6 or 8 more beers to feel even better. You know how it goes.

I try to cut back and waking up in the morning after not drinking the night before (or at least not getting hammered) feels fantastic, but after a day or two I just need to get shitfaced again.

I drink a lot, but tend to maintain a nice buzz for hours, even days.

I get "drunk" when I want to or when I'm killing off a bottle.
>>
>>8005301
tfw lost hope in my job and now am drinking every day.
I literally stopped drinking to get it, but as it turned into a dead end I feel like not drinking is me getting burned.
It went from something I wanted to something I want to unload.
The dead end is clear, when I clear out is not. I've stacked enough cash that I can do what ever I want if I get fired. (school training etc)
>>
Had a week long bender and this is my first night not drinking. I'm sweating and paranoid (used to that) but this is the first time my hands have started shaking when I quit. I think i'm done with this shit for a while i don't want to get physically dependent.

That's good you have some savings to fall back on. I just went through almost the exact same thing over a year ago. Realized I wasn't getting a promotion I deserved, quit when I realized I was being strung along. Traveled the USA for over a year, and now I've settled back down in a new state and city since my finances are getting low. I still just seem to be so apathetic and anxious to get out and start interviewing and get a new job and I can't figure out why. After I pay this month's rent, I'll only have a few hundred bucks in the bank and won't be able to make next month's rent without a job and/or a loan. Some jobs defer payments for a month I guess. That would suck.

Keep telling myself okay dude, this is your last weekend of fun, but come Monday you've got to call back some of your job prospects who have reached out and want to interview. Said that 2 weekends ago. This has to be the weekend or I'll find myself going into debt in one way or another. I don't even think it's the drinking that's doing it (although it's a part), I've just got this bizarre anxiety. Who knows, the lack of sleep from the dickheads constantly stomping around above me at all hours certainly doesn't help. I literally get 2-3 hours a sleep a night unless I pass out with a good drunk on. Not a good way to live or make sure I get some sleep (albeit drunken/wake up hungover sleep which is never as good as sober sleep).

Good luck bro, it's a funky cycle we find ourselves in sometimes.

Never too late, just a matter of changing your mindset and somehow finding a strategy to help move toward your goals instead of avoiding and denying that you have any. I know though dude, it's hard

>>8008186
Yea dude... I literally just admitted to my mom that I might not be able to make rent next month. She knows how pathetic I'm being, but doesn't know how much I've been drinking, although I imagine my parents suspect that's an issue with me out in a new town where I don't know anyone. Been putting off grocery shopping for trips to the bar and another handle. I could be cooking and eating better and bettering my life, but instead I'm delaying and procrastinating and throwing myself into possible financial issues for whatever reason. I'm looking at jobs, I have people e-mailing me wanting to set up interviews and I just cannot fucking understand why I am so reticent to jump back into the work force and be productive. I hope drinking so much hasn't changed my mindset to where I don't feel comfortable doing things unless I'm drunk, but I'm afraid that might be the case. Rewired my ability for enthusiasm and anxiety to be based on how I feel when drunk as opposed to sober. Crazy stuff.

>I should quit, but I live in Wisconsin

Fuck man, same situation. I'm one month sober, and I expected the hardest part to be when I'm sitting alone and want to get drunk. But the hardest part has been all the social stuff, EVERYTHING in wisco is based around drinking. It's so hard to do anything with friends or family without constantly being offered a drink. I know its for the best, but I end up getting angry that I can't drink and enjoy it like the rest of my friends when we're out
>>
Can anyone please advise me on cold turkey? I've been on one hell of a binge. Started as 1L bottle of smirnoff a day, after a couple of months I was drinking 2 a day. I'd start drinking the instant I woke. Thing is, I'm utterly fucking sick of causing problems, throwing up all the time, pissing the bed and the last straw, was crashing my car a week ago and blowing 106 into the breathalyzer. It's my second DUI, so i am fairly well fucked.
Sorry, I digress. Point is, today is day 1 of sobriety. I have shat, puked and shaken so much that I never want to drink again. Chills run through me every min or so and I'm sweating so much I feel like I've showered.17 hours since my last drink.
However.
I'm now starting to feel better. Like, a lot better. It's SURELY not that easy. Does this shit come in waves, or what?
Any general info or reassurance v much appreciated. Oh and before you say it, no I cant get to a doctor.
Fuck me this took a while to type, the shaking is not trivial.

Jesus lord I was drunk today at a conference for work

Dumb fucking work and commute devouring all my time I really do feel like a slave sometimes

And also know that I have no right to complain
>>
>>8008959
but we're talking months of 2 litres of vodka every single day, starting the moment i woke.
know what else is really odd? this isn't the first time. i was in detox before after a similarly hurculean binge, and i was sent home after 1 day. the w/d symptoms that time, lasted FOUR HOURS. i didn't then touch a drink for a few weeks, and was absolutely fine. i put it down to the valium they'd prescribed. this time i have no valium... and even after that binge, it's now 21 hours since my last drink, and i feel fine. the w/d this time lasted maybe 10 hours or sth.
am i really a medical anomaly? has anyone else experienced this? i can't find a single case of it online.

>>8009436
how old are you? when i was doing that shit in my early 20s i would feel fine going cold turkey too.
>>
>>8009459
i feel great, because this terrifying thing which has been looming, is apparently fuck all. i've had a couple of panic attacks, but that's because i was told i'm DEFINITELY going to experience horrific w/d symptoms. i did not, in fact i NEVER have, and i've been drinking on and off (almost exclusively on, and i mean daily) for almost one quarter of a century. im 38 and in generally quite poor but not terrible health, due to a couple of unrelated illnesses.
maybe diet is contributory in some way? i may drink a lot but my diet is and always has been, impeccably healthy. haven't had 1 bite of any form of crappy food in over 15 years. it's the only thing i can think of.
been researching this stuff all day. i wonder if this dude is right...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVkdv2qlZhU

so when you were in your 20's you could drink from morning to night for months, then stop cold turkey and be fine? similar levels of alcohol to those i've been on?

i feel happy as fuck. i can't believe how easy this was. FUCK i hope i don't start drinking again, i now see less reason to stay off it and cravings are killing me

For me I was more or less continuously drinking all day long and barely sleeping at night. I would also drink on the job and it started to get so horrible with the unbearable anxiety that I just had to quit and turn myself into a facility. My hands would pretty much shake all day long even if I was drinking a lot as well, there was no steadying them really.
>>
>>8005978
Sometimes I think of what it would be like to be in a relationship with a girl who didn't like drinking, or didn't like me drinking. As honest as I can possibly be with myself, I would probably just push her away and continue to get fucked up. The thing is there's like barely a difference for me because I've never had a girlfriend in my life and I'm 26.

waking up in jail twice in a week, losing my driver's license again (i'll probably never drive again), getting to the point of having a pint of vodka ready for breakfast, realising just how much my entire house reeks of piss, not being able to move more than a few feet without either treading in vomit or broken glass, getting the shit kicked out of me twice in 3 days, making my family (extremely close and loving) threaten to disown me because i was causing them so much pain (ouch, that was a hard one), realising that i remember maybe 1 hour of every day and the rest is just blackout, threatening to rape and kill my neighbour's daughter for absolutely no reason, waking up in a car park covered in blood (not mine, fuck knows whose), using heroin and crack to escape hangovers, realising that i've got almost no furniture left because seemingly everything is smashed after i presumably fell over and onto it, when i woke up in hospital having apparently passed out and needed to go into detox, losing my job, realising i'm in such a ludicrous amount of debt that i've got to sell my house, listening to the binmen getting pissed off because it takes 2 of them to move my bin (90% glass bottles), when i accidentally pissed in the booze jug i keep by my bed instead of the piss jug but still drinking it, being told by my doctor that i've got 5 years to live if i don't stop, and...
