Vote TRUMP 2016!

I woke up in a terrible state this morning. I wasn't hungover, but I can tell my pancreas is getting really tired of my drinking. I should take a break.

hey! whats up everybody welcome to my laboratory where avoiding hangovers is the number one prioritie!
How do you guys avoid it? i take ¨yeron¨ its aspirine caffeine and some sort off aluminum something, i dont know.. you can find it everywhere here in my country and its really cheap ( one american dollar a blister with 4 pills )

Just stop drinking. It's literally that easy.

>>8088416
you've clearly never dealt with or been an alcoholic
stopping drinking is one of the hardest and most terrifying things you can do

>>8088435
Not really though.

Just get a hobby and stop wasting your life feeling like hit.

>>8088386
2 weeks sober but only cuz I'm broke. Fuck me m8 I want a cold 16'pack so bad.

>>8088440
Please. Drinking makes my hobbies 100x better. Especially fishing. I love bringing some cold ones to the lake and fishing. And now that footballs back I'm loving Sunday's again

At a point last week, Monday morning to be exact, I decided that it had to end. A weekend (read: Friday night through Sunday evening) of drinking, alone, starting at dawn and trying to keep myself awake with energy drinks throughout the day but usually failing around 4 left me in the deepest, most abject hell by Monday morning. Absolutely crippling depression, and I can guarantee that the energy drinks had something to do with it, so many of you may not know *exactly* what I'm talking about, but that's not the point of my post. The point is that I've resolved to never drink alone again. As good as drinking feels at first, I've finally been able to reason with myself that the slippery slope I slide into on the weekends, oftentimes tanking handles and side beers, is not worth the dark places I'm forced to visit when that happens. To an outsider, it sounds easy: "If it makes you visit hell, just don't drink it." It isn't that simple, and it's taken me a couple of years of hard drinking for me to get to where I am and move the fuck on. I'm a week in and my willpower to not evet commit the same, cyclical errors I have in the past is far stronger than the draw of the substance. I hope the rest of you can get there too.

>>8088515
Forgot to throw in a "/blog," but I hope you get me anyway.

>>8088515

This is al/ck/

It's blogpost after blogpost. Life sucks, most of us are at least 30.

I'm divorced, one kid, courts gave me pretty much all of the benefits a man could ever wish for in a divorce, yet i don't want to see my son, I don't want to see that dumb cunt of an ex. i don't want to work. i just want to live in a drunken stupor until my organs fail. i hope i don't even have a funeral.

Can somebody explain to me how alcoholism works? I'm not trying to be condescending or anything, really the opposite. My mother was a heavy alcoholic and I don't want to be the same, does alcohol have addictive properties? thanks.

If you get hangovers instead of withdrawals you're not full blown and should quit while you're ahead.

>>8088543
Mostly psychological which really varies but there are physical withdrawals. Feeling buzzed/drunk is normally a good feeling. Physically I only experience normal foggy feeling in the morning and cant talk or think for shit but I also get the shakes and get kind of manic with anxiety(on top of your stomach being fucked up after you've put little in your body aside from water, whiskey and bread or some shit for a month).
Which is babyshit compared to how I get without smoking, opiate withdrawals and the worse.. Benzo withdrawals. Enough that I will happily go through my alcohol withdrawals as I do once a week before I just go back to it the moment I have a day I don't have it.

Really it's just not drinking or getting drunk every day. You'll be fine if you actually try since its easier to prevent then stop.

Alcohol is physically and mentally addictive. It provides a temporary escape from shitty emotions.

The best way I can explain the progression from weekend warrior to full blown alcoholic is through a shitty metaphor which will come in future posts.

>>8088543
>>8088576
To also add you can be addicted to tons of shit, not just 'bad' things. My sleeping is horrendous with my insomnia. Alcohol makes me actually sleep. I've tried many over the counter and prescription meds but even shit like zzzquil claims is none habit forming well I had shitty withdrawals from that too only using the reccomend dose for a week(pre-alcohol and drug days). Caffeine withdrawals are also a thing but tend to be more subtle.

I quit drinking for about two weeks after that then went back. All the issues that cause me pain that have resulted from my drinking all disappear after that first sip. I think I'm doing well then I just say fuck it, and two beers turns into a five day bender at 30+ units a day. That's the mental addiction, the physical is just when you get withdrawals.

That's not how it works for everyone, but its how its worked for me. I have a good job lined up a year later and I don't want to fuck it up. I get sober for a week then get drunk non stop for five days straight. At this point I know I need help but daily AA or rehab just seems so inconvenient right now. I just need to stay alive and out of jail for the next 3 months.

Yeah.

you know how heroin or meth gets so you so fucked up that you can't go to work or even do anything while on the drug
well alcohol is pretty much the polar opposite
its easy to hide how drunk you are, its easy to consume, its easy to lose track of how much you've consumed.
You can go to work get drunk and come home and get more drunk. You can hide your vodka in a water bottle and people will think you're just staying hydrated.
When you wake up in the morning you think hey Ill just have a couple shots or a beer or whatever to cure your hangover like normal people drink momosas or bloody marys but then you drink to excess. you probably dont understand because you might not have an addictive personality like most of us do but its really hard to limit yourself. Its legal, and easy to obtain

im new to alcohol turned 21 a few days ago,
anything you guys recommend in areas of wine and spiced rums?

>>8089782
With wine you really have to go out and try shit. You have to discover which flavours you like the most. My faves are Chianti and Nero d'Avola.

just got the fingers crossed up on the keyboard

I recently added a pass code to my phone because I'm paranoid of my family finding me dead from alcholism aand seeing weird shit on my pgone

Went on a bender this weekend. somehow its tuesday and im still fucking drunk. Jesus chirst. done some stuff this weekend im not proud of.

>>8088386
This Saturday I'll be 26 days sober.

However, I've been invited to a dinner with people I know will be drinking. It should just be a few beers but there's a possibility it spills into something bigger (although one of the guys has a relatively newborn baby so probably not) or it gives me a taste of what I've been missing and I relapse. The cravings have finally subsided so I was feeling confident with my sobriety but I don't want to be that sober guy saying no every time I'm offered a beer (mainly because nobody knows how bad my alcoholism was) and I know I would go overboard drinking over dinner, it's just the aftermath I worry about.

Should I just say no to all drinks or should I just drink the beers, enjoy them, and focus on controlling myself later and the day after?

>>8090017
*I know I wouldn't go overboard drinking over dinner

>>8090017
if your alcoholism really was that bad, chances are you will relapse hard. maybe you should just skip the dinner.
or you allow yourself to get shitfaced one night per week and try to stay sober the other six

>>8090027
>maybe you should just skip the dinner.

I really can't. Haven't seen these people in five months and I honestly want to see them. Cancelling now would come across as rude and I'm not saying it's because of alcohol.
I don't want to get shitfaced any night any more, I honestly just want to be that guy who has a few social beers every now and again, I just don't know if I'm ready yet.

>>8090034

Make an exit bag family, no need to leave a mess

I mostly detoxed this weekend after a shitty boozy summer. I heard that 21 day is what it takes to create a habit, so I'm doing 21 days of low-to-no booze to see if I can crack this thing. October 2, I'm crossing off the days.

If it doesn't work I have have to go dry, which will wreck me emotionally. But I think I'm legit going to die if I keep drinking the way I have been

Glenknichie 12 years or Glenfiddich 14 years ?

>>8088646

It ain't fair.

>>8090764
Glen 14 is so fucking solid for what it is. I'm gonna stay dry for a few weeks because I'm committed to teaching myself self-control but I might buy a bottle of this when friends come around next to split with them. No more drinking alone for me, I know exactly where that road leads.

>>8090781
Fuck I just started drinking once or twice a week alone. I tried the Glenfiddich last week. Pretty good but I can't really judge whiskey properly.

Obviously I'm not where I could be yet, but goddamn seeing how sick I looked that day was one hell of a wake up call. I'm honestly afraid to relapse again, I don't want to go back to that life.

Anyone here get sober and stay sober? I still want to drink all the time, but just remembering how I looked that day was enough to scare me for a while. Literal zombie-tier.

I'm in somewhat of the same situation. My brother's wedding is this Friday night. Everyone's getting shitfaced afterward and staying in hotels. It'd cost me an arm and a leg to get a taxi back home and I'm without a car right now.

I hate that I'm somewhat dreading my own brother's wedding. I don't want to be around alcohol, but what can I do.

>>8088452
I'm 2 months sober now, and that was the hardest part about stopping. I live in wisconsin so basically every activity I did revolved around booze. Going fishing? Lets bring a rack of beers. Watching the game? Lets all meet at the bar. Hell, we have outdoor events literally called "Beerfest" where I live. Its tough trying to do everything you're used to and be ok without drinking, or without getting angry because you can't while all your friends drink

Personally, I hate drinking with friends, because I tend to get blackout drunk. When I drink alone, I can stay exactly where I want to be, and only black out when I mean to get that smashed. Also drinking at bars gets expensive. I can easily spend $50-70, not including buying drinks for others.

How is drinking at bars considered like such a standard social activity

Yeah I'm 26 and I still don't get how much money people can spend on booze. I just suspect it has to be much easier if you have a real career instead of a job.

Another shitty night of sobriety and depression. Nothing is interesting and I have no desire to even talk to any of my friends. I'm so bored I may as well just sleep.

>>8092414

I'm very sorry. I understand exactly how you feel and it's not fair and it's not your fault. I've heard good things about ketamine and lsd as long term treatments. Regardless, you're far from being alone.

>>8092445
It's nights like these that makes me wonder if it's even worth it to try and quit, but everyone seems to say it is in the long run. It's that time between that's fucking hell though.

I have way too much of an addictive personality to try and cope with this with other drugs. I know I'm not alone but it sure can feel that way when minutes sometimes feel like hours while sober.

>>8092454

After you dry out your dopemine levels return to normal. It's all the interim period that sucks balls. Drink coffee while you're sobering up and it'll help, it's a bad way to abuse a stimulant but it works. You need to wait about 5 days before your shit will level out.

hey family

i spent the last month in montana visiting a friend when he and i had a really bad fight.

i drove 12 hours home (colorado) and immediately slammed a disgusting amount of vodka and passed out.

the next day i started drinking again like an hour after i woke up because too many feels. kept myself drunk all day, but ended up talking to a girl.

today, since i'm talking to that girl, i don't feel nearly as powerful an urge to drink. but she did help me with the urges. she seems real nice, guys.

The main thing you need to know is if you're really depressed, it's not you, it's the booze. That shit, if you drink hard, makes you unhappy. When you do properly sober up for a week or so, you will be better. Other than that, talk to your friends and talk to a doctor, they'll help you out.

I turned 21 last month, and since then I've only been drunk once. And I was by myself.
I had maybe 4 beers (craft), three beers through I started on my last - a coffee porter - which I was sipping on for about an hour. Then I took a shot of Woodford Reserve. Then I grabbed I a Busch Signature, light beer. But I threw up before I could almost finish it.

Anyways, from my drunk experiences in the past, I typically bob and swing my head back and forth in my computer chair while listening to music as if I were bouncing around in a car crash. Then I throw up.

I'm pretty sure I know my limits by now.

Stores sell 100ml bottles, and 375 ml bottles, then 750 and so on or any strange amount in between. Notice the difference between the quantities of liquor and their respective prices, don't get fucked. For my birthday I spent like 15$ on a 375ml bottle of The Kraken only to find out the next day that the 750ml bottle was like only 20$.

You want wine? Go to taste testings. Your finer liquor stores should hold tastings once a month or so. When you find what you like, hold on to it. Then come back here and ask us what meal you should pair your selection with. I cannot wrap my mind around the idea of people drinking wine without a meal or a snack.
Uggh....... drinking anything other than water without eating something as well... absolutely disgusting....

What's a good lower-middle end vodka? I've been making Whisky sours lately and they're my favorite drink, but it's a pain in the ass and I don't want to squeeze lemons every damn day. Vodka is more versatile and I've been craving bloody mary's and Greyhounds. I never want to taste $11/handle rot-gut Kamchaka or however it was spelled again. But I don't know about shelling out for Tito's.

Now I have to buy a cash car because all I'm getting is 1800 and I still owe my landlord 400 for Septembers rent. I have like 250 in my bank account right now I'm seriously thinking of stripping but my day job wears me the fuck out

The blood is probably an ulcer. I had the same issue when I drank a lot and thought it might be pancratitus, but it wasn't. 5 years of drinking isn't really that long enough to kill your organs TOO much.

Normies mostly go to bars to socialize, it isn't just about the booze. We aren't normal, we're alcoholics. After awhile the alcohol and money spent on it take precedence over having a drink in a social atmosphere. That's why we drink alone at home for cheaper.

got of of detox 3 weeks ago and relapsed 13 days later. don't become me, anons. I literally drink from when I wake up to when I go to sleep.

Man you guys are depressing. I drank non stop when I got my first job, traveled all the time so the only thing to do was go to bars at night. Drank all weekend, even when alone, could polish off a couple 24 packs no problem. One day I realized I was spending a shit load of money for something that wasn't all that fun. Decided to get rid of all the alcohol in my house for a weekend. It sucked but it wasn't crippling. After that I steadily just drank less and less, never kept any booze at my house, and have no problem whatsoever only having a drink or two at a restaurant. You all just lack discipline.

>>8093568

someone who has no idea how addiction works or what it's like calling it lacking discipline is fucking comical.

Oh you drank a couple 24 packs in a weekend? Get back to me when you don't know how many months in a row it's been that you've finished more than just a 750 nightly, every single night. That's addiction.

>>8093686


my best.. or worse.. was two 750s in a day. I couldn't get drunk anymore even if I tried. my face was numb, fingers numb. it was like walking through syrup

>>8093535
I quit shit after this weekend after I realized I won't have enough to make rent because I spend money like an absolute mad man when I'm drunk. I wish I hadn't crashed my car. It took me a week after I crashed my car to decide I've had enough. Also Halloween is coming up. It's a good time to quit drinking and hit up the gym. Fuck I hate myself.

>>8093693

I hope you can cut down. It is possible. I was typically killing half a handle which is about 850 ml at minimum a night. I'd usually make it through 4-5 handles in a week, 90% of that by myself. Friends would be over and have 12 shots between 4 people and I'd finish the rest of it after they left.

Then I got a better job, started seeing a good girl, and was able to cut back slowly. I'm not sure if I want to quit.... I still drink like half a handle a week, but at least I can make it from 10pm until 5-6 the next day. Prior to that I was driving drunk to get more booze, etc. it was horrible. There is hope.

>>8093693
How do you even do this? I just go the fuck to bed after most of a single 750ml, I can't stay awake through that shit.

>>8093884

>>8093686
it starts with a lack of discipline.

>>8093925
This is still somewhat debatable.

>>8088386
Been drinking like a bottle of wine a day everyday lately. This is actually really good for me considering, but the downside is that I still do absolutely nothing and am staying in bed longer and longer.

I drink because I hate my job. I'm not happy.
Three bottles of whiskey every week; bottom shelf cheap shit.

I just fell off the wagon again. Its been like a year but I felt I needed a few beers. I am an alcohol.

>>8094080
What was the year like man?
I haven't been more than a month without a drink in 8 about to be 9 years.

>>8094080
was it nice to be sober? Did you feel great?

I haven't been sober a whole day in 10 years, don't even remember what it's like to be sober for a week and have senses

>>8093053
Try drinking a litre/36 Oz of mil before 12am everyday, and not puking

>>8094094
It was good I wasn't depressed and drinking 12 beers a night squandering my savings. But I just cant get it out of my system it was like all this week I've been craving alcohol. It was good to be sober though definitely cleared up my mind. I could think better for sure.

>>8094108
Yeah it was nice. I didn't have the peaks of euphoria I get from drinking though but I didn't have the depression either. If this is more than a one day thing I'm going to kick myself.

>>8092654
I've only ever self-harmed while drunk. Only a few times but I've got horrible scars now. cigarette burns and some cuts. not alot, like most self-harmers, but just enough that ive only worn long sleeves the past two years because I'm self conscious. fuck me, I hate seeing them. I'm not an edge Lord or attention whore.

I'd like to maybe get tattoos over them to hide them, but then id be 'degenerate' according to general consensus.

>>8094129
You can of course do whatever you want, but so many people have tattoos these days it's like not having tattoos is the new having tattoos.
I mean I'd never get one anyway. Not because of the pain but just because it fuckin stays there forever.

>>8094129
I have one tattoo a cross. I thought it would help to remind me to be sober and it has at times but not today. Not this day when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all...

>>8094137
I'd probably never consider getting one either, if not for these scars. I figure it's the least worst option as opposed to having them out for everyone, including myself to see.
I wish I'd never done that shit, fucking alcohol. Guess it's not the worst though, like DUIs or killing anyone.

>>8094154
I actuly got my cross tattoo while hungover. I kind of regret it but it reminds me not to do stupid stuff on impulse although NOT THIS DAY WHEN THE COURAGE OF MEN FAILS, WHEN WE FORSAKE OUR FRIENDS AND BREAK ALL BONDS OF FELLOWSHIP.

>>8092115
I use my parents money not the government's. Back to /pol/ with you.

I had 4 beers and a half-strength gin and tonic monday night (me and my best friend go to the bar to drink and play pool on the night when hardly anybody is there to hog it), but otherwise I haven't drank since Saturday on a bachelor party. It's been nice not waking up with a hangover, but I don't know, it hasn't been as nice as I expected. I think I was reaching a point where I was causing problems. If I even had a 4 pack of pints, I'd wake up with a hangover. (My hangovers aren't normally headaches, they're just this general empty-headed weird woozy feeling that's hard to explain that last for fucking ever)

Should I get a couple tallboys tonight or no?

>>8094233
I'm planning to just stop the weeknight drinking, and continue weekends. I'm working a 14 hour day today, though, so a tallboy or two sounds nice. Plus, buying like that helps me limit myself.

>>8094233

Not hating, but that's a mentality that'll never get you sober man. "After I get shitfaced one more time this weekend, I'll stop", idk how many times I told myself that. Sometimes it would work for a week or 2. But honestly, until you get to that point where you're too ashamed of yourself to have another sip you're not gonna make progress. The "just one more time" attitude just leads to "one more time" happening over and over

I'm trying to cut down (went from practically black out drunk all week and then the weekend) and haven't been able to sleep since. Maybe an hour of light sleep a night. I cut down to maybe two beers a night since then... Like it's been 3 days and I have no idea how I've been able to work a 13 hour shift today. I've been at work since 7 am omg but I feel out of it.

Just bought another case of steel reserve 40zs, who else goes through a case a week?

>>8088576
I've never had any legit withdrawals of any substance (because of no legit long-term use), but just taking benzos three days in a row makes you feel like you have a bit of one on that fourth day. It's quite irritable and anxious as well. I'd fully believe just based on that legit benzo withdrawal is the worst, and I couldn't imagine someone taking large doses for a long period going cold turkey. Seems like pure hell.

Gotta buy some tequila. Can any of you seasoned alcoholics help me find something cheap to moderately priced that won't make a greener alcoholic barf immediately?

Flawless taste (I like k-on and minami-ke too but those are my top 3 three favorite anime), when I'm drinking myself to sleep I often rewatch episodes of those or read osamu dazai short stories (great author for any addicts desu).

This season amaama to inazuma and new game are pretty great as well. I'm pretty sure (hazy memory) I cried while watching the first two episodes drunk from seeing a father care/work so hard for their child since I never had that.

I also really like gambling anime since its the closest thing to portraying addiction in anime (legendary gambler tetsuya is great) and cheesy sports anime like chihayafuru.

How the fuck do you people drink so much? I rarely drink but my friends are straight fucking alcoholics, once they have one drink, they don't stop until they've blacked out, its insane.

Is getting blacked out even fun? I only drink until I can really feel it but my consciousness cuts me off so I don't go pass a certain point

Anyone else drink because it helps them get work done? I'm not sure if this is just an excuse I've subconsciously conjured up but I'm always more productive after 6+ beers. I'm a programmer by the way. The only downside is when I get past that tip and fall down the slope, the quality of my work goes to shit. This is normally around 12 beers and I stop before that. I'm either definitely more creative when buzzed, or it makes my work less boring so I get more done. I drink between 5 and 10 beers a night, so I'm definitely not an alcoholic by the standards of this thread.

>>8095353
I drink 2 liters of wine twice a week and I've only ever blacked out once in my life.

It's very distressing not knowing what you did the previous night and I don't want to do that again.

5:50, two belts under my gullet, hoping to have a normie day starting at 6:45. took a kudzu pill, that sometimes helps. next drink 9 pm, wish me luck

>>8095386
>by the standards of this thread.

Okay bud. I'm sure you know it, but it needs to be said on the record: You know the standards of these threads are shitcunting fucked, right?

I quit drinking over a year ago and it's the best decision I have ever made. I've lost shitloads of weight, I don't feel tired and lethargic, I still feel depressed occasionally but I don't feel like hanging myself anymore.

I've got back into creative outlets (building a studio and putting together a well presented Youtube movie critic channel with a proper set and everything) and I don't get into shouting matches with others as much. I hate my job, but I don't feel the need to strangle people anymore.

because it's denatured alcohol and it'll kill you if you drink too much.

made the decision to stop drinking on weeknights because i was feeling terrible at work all the time.

tomorrow evening can't come fast enough...

I want off this ride.

On and off alcoholic for about 9 years. long long time gf has had enough and i'm pretty sure it's over and I think I want it to be.

Been sober since Sunday, but i'm lonely, still live with my parents, and i gained back all the weight I lost.

What do I do next? When does it get better? Am I going to relapse again?

>>8095353
Passing out, being sick etc isn't particularly fun, it's just a byproduct of being incredibly drunk, which is very fun. For people like us (me and your friends), it's generally a case of trying to stay as drunk as possible without crossing the line of losing control, and failing. The problem is, the heavier a drinker you are, the thinner that line become.

When you first start drinking, you can have a few drinks, be buzzed for hours and feel fine the next day. When you're a heavy drinker, the difference between feeling almost sober and completely smashed can be as little as one or two drinks, so it's a difficult line to tread.

>>8096949
Don't dude, stop right where you ducking are. You think you want it to be over now, but in literally less than a month when she's with someone else you're going to want to fucking die, and considering your actions thus far, you probably will. Stay with her man, humans need eachother a lot more than you think.

>>8096949
I suggest you go and spend some quality time with her sober, just cuddle on the couch and watch tv or whatever you fags do specifically in your relationship. She loves you, and wants you to get better despite whatever you may think.

>>8095386
Alcohol has been shown to increase creativity. In college I always had 3-6 beers while starting to write papers. I had to do a lot of editing the next day, but I usually had a lot better wording and ideas once I started drinking

That's BS, heroin and opioid addicts can absolutely be functional. Trust me, I've been addicted and lived a pretty normal life during. Opiate addiction can be COMPLETELY invisible. Not every addict goes around nodding out all the time. There are millions of working people (medical professions in particular) who function normally on opioids. Also there's a reason it's legal to drive on opioids (if they're legally obtained) and not on alcohol. They don't impair motor skills or judgement as much until you get to much higher dosages.

From what I've seen being a functioning opioid addict is easy to maintain and hide. It's when their precious supply gets disrupted that everything spirals out of control. They function great on it and are worthlessly sick without it.

>>8096750
lol no its not they don't put denatured alcohol into a product that everyone is going to swallow at least a little bit of. There's no safe amount of methanol to drink. Listerine has straight ethanol, it just tastes like shit and costs a lot so few people abuse it.

>>8097375
Well, yeah, naturally. It'd be the same for alcoholics, but their sin of choice happens to be legal, cheap, and freely available. Anyway, at least opioids at least don't kill you slowly when you're addicted to them. Or at least they don't if you have a prescription and safe supply.

The thing about alcohol is you can smell it on their breath.

You can also look for constricted pupils in opioid addicts but most people aren't aware of that.

Is there any feeling better than getting a nice 6 beer buzz on and popping an Ambien?

blog post incoming:

im pushing a year of sobriety, less than a month away.

i told myself i was gonna quit for a year then take it from there. i would really like to have a beer but i dont know how long i can pretend to be ok with having just one. i think i might have ot be done for good, which would be fine i think. i miss it but i like having my health and a clear head more.

>>8097413
I was in rehab with a guy that was sober for over a year, and while sleepwalking on Ambien, got drunk and got a DUI about 40 miles from his house.

Woke up in jail with no recollection whatsoever. No receipts or card charges for the booze, either.

Fuck Ambien

>>8097265
This absolutely.

Writers being alcoholics isn't just a meme.

>>8097432
Don't bother drinking. You know you can't have just one. By the end of the week, you'll be hammering a handle.

Congrats on a year, I got six months yesterday.

Ive struggled with alcoholism most of my adult life. Here lately I would drink everyday to the hard buzz point,...which I eventually started needing more and more to get there. I justified my drinking by working all the time and being the breadwinner. Alcohol was my excuse to "relax" and escape my home responsibilities.

I got drunk drunk 2-3 weeks ago, made a huge ass of myself by getting into a stupid petty argument with my wife in front of my kid. Said things I shouldn't have, raged over nothing. Son ran down the hallway from the stress of all of it and fell down the stairs and cut his head. Not bad but enough to scare us.

I was too drunk to help or drive to urgent doc... Felt like utter piece of shit since then and haven't had a drink since. My family deserves better and so do I. I've been drinking carbonated water and Diet Coke and my wife is having sex with me a lot to help me over the hump.

I'm choosing to come home and interact with my family instead of closing myself off to them. Fingers crossed and praying I can make it. My wife, seriously, thank god for her. She could have divorced me a long time ago but she's just been god tier. She did draw a line this last time and I know she means it.

I know that feel. Worst part is, you know the bottom shelf shit is killing you faster, but buying anything remotely decent drains your wallet like a motherfucker. I would consider getting another job even if it pays less, but also reducing from three to one bottle or a bottle and a half per week.

>>8093568
I get what you're saying. I like to get together with friends, but I avoid bars. If we wanna drink, I'll put my house and a good bottle of something, because that is less than what I'd spend in a bar. It really depends on the kind of friends you have. My friends know I'm an alcoholic, so they always put a couple of bills in the jar according to what/how much they drink. I always buy the booze, though, because I'm gonna be the one drinking most of it anyways.

>/soc/

I'm a selfpitying test who blames alcohol for why my life is shitty. The truth is that blaming alcohol allows me to scapegoat my problems so I don't have to acknowledge that I'm a shifty person. God forbid I actually put effort into not being a terrible person. Blaming the alcohol is so much easier.

>this is what you all sound like

>>8099466
Now 'yer talkin!

Was 2.5 months sober and currently "relapsing", not planning on going back to my old ways because I know how fucked up I get, and appreciate where I am now. But I needed to get it out of my system. I'll never be able to be a "not another drop in my life" type person, but hopefully I can keep my drinking to the weekends at least. Anyone else feel like trying to be completely sober just makes it worse? I have a lot more luck controlling drinking to 1 or 2 days a week than I do drinking absolutely nothing. When I try to have nothing ever, I end up relapsing harder

>>8099466

Are you responsible for your cortisol and dopamine levels? You can take responsibility, but you need to realize you're being chemically fucked too. Don't go overboard.

Found out spirit circle has been completed and translated for a while, I really liked that manga when I first came across it years ago. Been drinking and reading all night fucking up my sleep schedule.

At least I only have a few hours of manual labor work tomorrow I guess.

Hey can one of you fags tell me why I'm so much more productive when I'm at least a little drunk? Best I can figure, it breaks my prefrontal cortex such that "impaired judgement" amounts to "impaired procrastination". Happens when I stay up for a really long time too. Anybody else get this?

This is what I've been doing recently (except for me it's two nights, Friday and Saturday). It seems more sustainable than abstinence, and it's definitely more realistic than moderation (which I wouldn't even want anyway).

So far it's been working, but I know I have to remain vigilant and humble. Getting cocky will lead to disaster. . . .

Functioning achly here. Can't remember the last sober night I had... doesn't interfere with work or anything. However I'm anxious as hell to leave work ASAP so I can come home and drink... I get very agitated if I have to work later than usual.
Been drinking about 6-8 (10+ on weekends) 16oz beers every night for years... I'm bored as shit and can't sleep without a buzz...

>>8091100

Well done to the both of you. I was sober for about two months, a little more, then I relapsed. Now I'm focusing on a harm reduction program, which seems to be working. But I know I'm playing with fire.

>>8093053
Go to a fucking rehab facility. They've got them available to the public in most major cities. Don't ruin your life. It can really get a lot better. I pushed myself into a deep hole year after year, reaching the nadir about a year ago. Talking to nobody except myself, constantly angry at everyone and everything, hanging onto my job by the skin of my teeth, feeling like I'm going to beat up a random stranger on the train just for looking at me funny, finding people-even gang-bangers-avoiding me like I look unhinged (which, I guess, I was), checking account almost always near zero, scraping change together to get a few steel reserves at CVS, every weekend a bender, . . . you get the idea. A few months ago, I took some time off, went on antabuse, and my life hasn't been this good in a decade. Dating a pretty girl, have a savings account, on good terms with my bosses, talking with family and friends again, playfully banter with strangers on the train, have a much nicer apartment, etc.

tl;dr: Don't give up (except the drinking part--definitely give that up)

I woke up this morning and had a few drinks, than continued an argument my wife and I were having last night. She took my son and left. I think it's over for good. I've been drinking all day and don't see an end in sight.

Fuckin sucks man met the guy once but he was cool as shit, plus cocaine and alcohol makes you feel like you've known them forever after you do it together. I remember sitting at the table at the party with him hitting key bumps he was breaking off a Little brick at the table, everyone staring at us but the whole table was faded as fuck so no fucks given. (It's a family members bar kinda like a brothel, lots of girls go sell themselves, so security doesn't bother us because they know I'm related to the owner)

I just wanna go buy some beer but I'm on probation as of the beginning of this week and can't leave the house anymore. Cousin probably won't come since he's going to the hospital and that was his buddy. Fuuuuck man I just want a 16 of Budweiser so I can down it nice n cold tonight

How many years of your life have you wasted drinking guys? 19-27 almost daily here, and before i turned 19 i stole booze//got boots regularely since like 15.

i acomplished pretty much nothing in this time, even when working a decent job for a good chunk of those years, i barely remember it because i drank the second i got off work till i passed out every night for years on end.

HOWEVER, this year ive been sober for all but about 1 and a half months maybe two.

the hardest part about alcohol is admitting you cant help yourself. it fully fucks with your decision making and im slowly starting to realize that even drinking one time after a long break is enough to send me into week or month long benders.

im still hoping that after quitting for maybe a year my brain will reset and be abl to drink normally again but deep down i think i know that wont happen, and my brain is now forever chimically wired to fiend alcohol like a crack addict once i get it

>Tfw no fatty liver

>>8090017
I ended up drinking 12 beers and 2 kahluas with milk. I don't usually get impacted too heavily by hangovers, especially from drinking beer, but this one is murdering me. Little disappointed that my run of sobriety has finished but going to go straight back to not drinking.

I've been on a hellacious fucking bender. I quit it a couple weeks ago and went through the worst non-stop panic attacks ever and then was clean for about a week and now I'm scared to quit again out of fear for what literally felt like I was having a heart attack 24/7

>>8088386
Pro tip:
If you drink to 0.1 BAC you get a buzz with no hangover or vomit. I know it's well below what most of you drink at but if you're reading this and not an alcoholic, give it a shot.

I went through that for close to 5 months straight after quitting daily drinking 6 pack of 8% beer for like 3 years.

i never suffered from anxiety before but i literally went to the ER probly 10 times thinking i was dying of a heart attack, i also had other weird symptoms like my arms going numb every night when trying to fall asleep.alcohol is no joke

I love the feeling when you question your drinking habits then after 10 beers you remember exactly why you drink. Who here /alcoholicandlikeit/
