al/ck/ Wednesday feels edition

difficulty walking, ears burning red, shitting blood, pains left tit, abdomen pains, back pains, difficulty swallowing
had a pint made me feel worse
no funeral please, just burn the corpse

At work. Feel like shit. Just want to get home and drink til I fall asleep. Tomorrow is friday for me though.

>>8178257
It's not too late, man. Cut back and quit while you fucking can. People have recovered from worse.

I'm almost a week sober, and despite being tired and a bit irritable most of the time, I otherwise feel fucking amazing already compared to the first day. I've been drinking to the point of BO drunk for nearly 7 years.

The body can handle and recover through a lot more than you realize.

I'm okay, had a tiny bit of bourbon and vodka as I'm trying to start a review video show for liquor. I'm aiming to do at least 5-6 videos a month and make it not for profit.

However I feel like I should lose some weight before I launch the channel because I have too much fat on my face. I've lost 20 pounds since May but I'm still around 255lbs and I've started to turn more to whisky so I don't end up eating as much but I cheat too often.

I really need to get my priorities in check and maybe find some friends which is fucking hard to do in my shitty liberal college.

>>8178227

Haven't had a drink in 11 days, liquor store is open for 15 more minutes and I'm craving a drink.

>>8178280
Jerk off instead

Went through withdrawal last week. It sucked but the night sweats finally stopped, and I feel much better than when I was downing a 5th of bourbon a day.

Went home with an 18 year old the other night at the bar. Didn't realize she was 18 until after we had sex and she told me she had a fake ID. Still feel really shitty about it.

>>8178361
18 is legal, m8. What's the issue? Not like you fucked a minor. Sure 18 isn't ideal, but it could have been much worse.

>>8178380
Yeah but I'm 27 so I just feel a little bit like a creeper.

>>8178274

It's the crippling anxiety that gets me when I'm sober.

Panic attacks for no reason, dizzy, sweating.

Horrible.

>>8178429
Those go away with time too. I get really bad anxiety myself, but over the years I've learned to recognize and kind of deal with the panic attacks mostly. Breathing exercises when you feel one coming on goes a long way. Also chamomile tea is great for anxiety.

>>8178274

ive barely drank this year
it might be catch up from previous years or just shitty genetics and bad luck
if its because from about 2014 to 2015 i spent abut 5 days a week on ~7pints a day then no regrets although I still dont think thats life threatening levels
if its genetics and bad luck and i was destined to have cancer liquefy my bowels then i regret not drinking more

but hey who knows maybe its just something chronic like crohns disease

>>8178460

you can still drink with crohns right?

I have regular bouts of anxiety and depression - particularly when I'm not doing anything - and it seems like vodka is the only way to calm myself. I'm worried about becoming an anxious alcoholic.

>>8178227
been drinking wine slowly throughout the day
ordered delivery
only left the house for vape cartridges
back now shitposting

just bought 2 liters of capn morgan for 18 dollars. i usually never buy the stuff but i think thiis was a good deal?

>>8178592
Sounds like a deal to me.

Didn't drink at my place after the bar yesterday which is a big win for me. Woke up feeling refreshed and normal. Today I'm going to try and dry out a bit. Tomorrow hopefully too. Happy hour at my watering hole starts in 5 minutes.... Ugh. Definitely not today, maybe tomorrow.

Gotta fucking cut back or I'll be fat as fuck, broke, and a full blown boozer. I do fucking love drinking though. Have bourbon in my freezer ready to go, but that's kinda the test for me.

>>8178227
Glad monday is over. I hit someone at work for saying columbus was a racist and muttering about muh natives.

Currently at work drinking alcohol in a water bottle and shitposting on /a/.

I enjoy my job immensely.

>>8178410
I'm 32 and fuck 17 year olds (16+ is legal here). I don't see what the issue is.

>>8178628
He might have higher moral standards than you or something.

pain in my lower left abdomen. think that could be from overetending at work though. left to work last night with a 750ml of that kentucky moonshine shit, only to find out my dumb fucking girlfriend popped a bunch of klonopin and drank it all (i work at a liqour store, can't buy booze after 2AM so). made it through the night on some PBR i found in the back of the fridge.

>>8178636
You seem to be implying that fucking attractive younger women is morally wrong.

Are you gay?

>>8178663
Certainly less moral than fucking someone around your age/intelligence level. I don't care what you do, man, I'm just sayin'.

>>8178699
>morality being involved at all when you're fucking sluts
wew lad.

i went to Systembolaget, but I settled for alcohol-free cider

stay strong

I was in college in a fraternity for 2.5 years and budded into an alcoholic. Even the party culture wasn't enough, started drinking in the morning, by myself, you know the drill. Got kicked out for shit grades and moved back home with my parents. In the past year and a half I've lost all of my "friends" i had here. People keep getting tired of my bullshit and stop talking to me. The last friend I had gave up on me a month ago.

He set us up with two girls but i got wasted before we went, continued drinking heavily, got too handsy and came off as a total creep. I felt like something was off cause he stopped replying to my texts and just made a facebook post today about "Sometimes you have to cut toxic people out of your life" or some bullshit. That was on September 10th, havent drank since. I feel like I've turned into some monster that is unbearable to be around when i'm drunk. But now that i don't have any friends i don't know what else to do. I love being drunk but when i'm drunk i am a werewolf.

How can i make friends, and worse, what do i do if i do and they want to go out and drink with me?

/blogpost

>>8179050
your friends were holding you back from your true drinking potential

>>8179077
I don't want to end up like you guys. No offense. I've been going down the path but i have already turned around. My only concern is that if i ever do get laid i will cum after like three pumps. I don't think i've ever had sex sober

>>8179118
do you even eat m8

>>8178429
That withdrawal anxiety is the worst thing in the world. I hate it so fucking much. I'm a few days into recovering from a binge over the long hurricane weekend, feeling so much better already. I'm giving myself a break, but one day at a time, all you should focus on.

>>8178309
Ugh, those fucking night sweats. Just had those for a couple nights myself...body seems to have finally regulated itself nicely now. Hate sweating through my sheets. Why did I ever let myself get that bad?

>>8179145
>>8179145
Wait so in what time frame are you drinking that liter of whiskey each day? Do you not start until 6 or so?

Also, please get help man. That's really not good shit you've got going and you don't have to choose death.

I had a really good 4 week run of sobriety. Now I've slipped and have returned to habits relatively close to what I was doing before. Drinking around 1 - 3 bottles a week. Marginally better than before but still unhealthy, still preventing me from self improvement and still a waste of money.

>>8179634
Hate to say it, anon, but even if you consider it marginally better, it will soon get worse again at that rate :( start making adjustments now, before it gets further in

You guys are really amateur drunks. I congratulate you on being rookie hose fanatics, but you're really not alcoholics.

>>8179853
I really am DESU. I normally just do a bottle of wine and some bourbon every night. This isn't a lot for me, but it is a wednesday

>>8179866

I've been drinking 65% vodka from home made moonshine every day for as long as I can remember. 2 handles a week. I'm sure I have fatty liver.

>>8178227
I hate myself. I have created the illusion of normalcy. I fit in. I'm seen as intelligent, clever. I'm doing well in college. People look to me as a leader. I'm somewhat attractive. I'm interesting, albeit "quirky". People don't see the man I am beneath my mask. I'm a quivering mess of charisma and alcohol. I sleep six hours a night, if I'm lucky. I live in my childhood bedroom, with its childhood paint job. I drink alone every night. Scratch that. I have a drink as soon as I can, every day.

Does anyone have advice? Or at least understand what I mean?

>>8179897

Steer that shit off immediately. You're in a position to get help and you really can at this point before shit goes wrong. Talk to someone before it gets 5 or 10 years in and nothing can be done. I'm not bullshitting. talk to someone NOW.

>>8179897

I beg you, don't let pride fuck up your entire life. Ask your best friend or family for help.

>>8179910
I appreciate your bluntness. I've been meaning to get help for a long time.

It's hard to admit you need it. I've been drinking daily for a few years now. I grew up with alcoholism. I told myself I wouldn't drink. Now I'm drunk in my underwear.

Fuck, man.

>>8179929

jesus christ, please ask someone for help. I'm literally crying here hoping you will do something because I didn't. please man. please.

>>8179897
Similar situation bro, right down to the 6~ hours of sleep. 25 and been drinking since I was 16, though it only became a problem around 2012.
Still, am a hard worker at my job and everyone likes me and thinks I have my shit together, relatively speaking. Not bad looking either since I lost about 20kg.
For the first time since 2011 my life actually appears to be on an upward trend which I never thought would happen again but I still drink more than ever (especially since I'm not unemployed anymore) and feel as empty as ever. Hardly see my friends anymore, I don't even play videogames or watch tv shows let alone have any real hobbies. Still haven't kissed a girl in 10 years.
All I do is work and drink and I'm sure you can relate to the stress of having to think up lies when someone asks 'how was your weekend what did you get up to?'

>>8179932
I will, man. For you and all the other lost souls. I've already seen what alcohol can do to people's lives, and more importantly, the people around them's lives. I don't want to be that person, but I've been watching myself become that person, like from an operating theatre. Things become mechanical, learned habits, you know?

>>8179934

you need to know the chemistry behind alcoholism. It's not your fault and it's not something you can think your way out of. Dopamine isn't something you can just magic your way out of, nor is cortisol.

drunk off 3rd 40oz of 211 have to work 2pm-10pm tomorrow

>>8179939

The one thing you have to accept is that people would rather help you, than watch you suffer. So you asking for help is better than you blocking them off and forcing them to watch you sink. You have to understand what is more selfish.

>>8179934
I'm a similar boat, to some degree. I still have hobbies, I write and I take photos. I still have plenty of friends, but I find it increasingly hard to relate to them on a personal level. I know and I am known, but only on the face, if you know what I mean. I hope you find your way regardless, anon.

Make it two, bro. Make it two weeks.

>>8179945
That's a good point. I've been working a lot on my selfishness. It's easy to be self-involved. I want to be gentle and kind. I want to admit I need more than myself to become the person I want to be. I guess admitting anonymously on a taiwanese tapestry forum's cooking board is a start.

Hi al/ck/, I'm functional.

The only burn is wondering if my prior DUI and current probation mean I'm flagged by the state for tracking via ID scans at our state-run liquor stores.

Paranoid, you might think? Hello, state. I'm sorry for being irresponsible, but otherwise my life is going quite swimmingly.

>>8179939
Write that shit down. Put it on your fridge, or wherever you stash your booze.

You seem like an intelligent and articulate person. Dont fuck up your life over self-loathing, and recognize that alcohol is only a short term relief that will eventually become a long term bad habit that will continue to grow.

>>8179957

Hey probro.

No, the state isn't tracking you ID scans.

I"m also on probation for an OWI charge, and I'm curious what kind of tests you take, and how often?

>>8178276

Not for profit?

Do you think otherwise people would pay to see your fat face review a shot of vodka filmed on your shitty camera?

>>8178429
I feel ya. There is no shame in some mild medication to help with that. It won't make you a zombie. Hell even if you were given xanax or such to deal with such symptoms, just try taking half of what they suggest, like cutting a pill in half, if you are worried.

But all in all, if we're coming from deep alcoholism, a little mood adjustment from meds for a bit to see if it helps is far easier to face.

>>8178276
Man just don't give a fuck about their politics. You can befriend someone across the spectrum as long as you both aren't crazy focused on those topics all the time. Maybe the election season makes it more difficult, but give a shot.

I'm kind of left of center on most things (more right on foreign policy), and met a guy through some close friends that was a blast to be around the first few timez we hung out. The I saw some of the absolutely nuts right-wing conspiracy theorist shit he spewed on facebook and was suprised as fuck. Then we hung out more abd yet again we continued to get along great. It made taught me a good deal about respecting that people aren't as one-dimensional as shitty-news-outlet sound bites would suggest.

Browning out, have to teach tomorrow. The kids I teach are brilliant and a pleasure to teach, but I love booze more...

>>8180103
Is it true that substance abuse is common among teachers?

Slowly getting better with my alcohol consumption, been drinking half to two thirds of a bottle of spirit a night for about a year and a half.

Joined the gym and sorted my diet out and cut back to 4 - 6 smaller drinks a night now. Enough to get a bit of a buzz, but not enough to give any ill effects the next day.

To be honest I feel better already, the aim for next week is to cut it to maybe one or two a night, then eventually only on weekends. I need to get my life back on track as it hasn't gone totally to shit, yet. I can see it going there if I continue.

>tfw you get horrible anxiety after drinking vodka

>tfw you stuff an empty vodka bottle into a fast food restaurant garbage can

>tfw you worry you might have gotten pricked with an aids needle 6 hrs later as you're sobering up

>>8178628
The problem here is that you're fucking 17 year olds and not 16 year old fresh teenies, I miss highschool and PTP

>>8178699
I only fuck smart 16 year olds so there isn't a problem.

>>8180047
Yes as in I will never monetize it and maybe do an occasional donation drive to AA alcoholism recovery foundations since my grandfather suffered and ultimately died due to alcoholism.

>>8180155
Ugh fuck man that hits home. I'm >>8178274 and when I was living with my folks they wanted me to get dry. I did everything to hide my habit from them. Would stuff my jacket full of all my cheap, empty vodka bottles during the winter, walk around town in the freezing cold at night while it was quiet and stuff the bottles in trash cans.

Holy hell that was a bad part of my life. It makes me sick thinking about it. I'm drying out and never touching that shit again.

pretty sure my gf is going to break up with me in the next few days. she's put up with me for long enough i guess. quite worried. my drinking is gonna go absolutely out of control i reckon

:(

>>8180667
Why do you think that? What's been happening? Other than your drinking I'm assuming.

>>8180673
she's been away for the last month and a bit for work and a few weeks ago she said she wanted to go on a break. she said she still loved me and wanted to be together but that being away from me she was enjoying being on her own and her independence. i guess quite a lot of that is to do with my drinking. she was also chatting about how she doesn't think we'll be together forever. so yeah, we haven't talked to each other since then. she gets back tomorrow and i'm worried that she will just end it, and just wanted to go on a "break" so as to do it in person, rather than over messenger

maybe we will make it work, and the time apart might have helped, but i'm not confident

>>8180688
Ouch...damn man, I'm sorry. How old are you both and how long have you been together? This seems like a common occurrence with girls who get into long term relationships when they're young.

>>8180691
both 24. we were together for about eight months then broke for like half a year and then wound up getting back together and have been together again for nearly a year. it's just a bit of a mess i suppose. she has a lot of her own issues as well to be honest

>>8180697
Break up, anon. Become /fit/ n /lit/.
Worrying is useless

>>8180725
well i'll see what happens when i see her
but yeah, i do need to try and focus on myself more. i read a lot already but my health could use some work (v underweight)

thanks for the concern, anon

I'm scared, /ck/.

I live in a third world country, 18 years old and am planning on running away from home. My parents are very abusive, psicologically and phisically, I get beaten almost every day and get ridiculed for all of my actions.

I have 240 usd saved up, what can pay rent and food for like 1.5 months here, I will try to make money online somehow and worst case scenario work in construction for 2 usd an hour.

I hope I don't become homeless because I might get killed or raped, it's dangerous here at night.

>>8179987
Honestly man you should just keep drinking and eventually kill yourself. As youve said, youve already passed on your genes and you've been married and traveled the world. I mean seriously what are you gonna do? Sober up and then live another ten years? Who cares youre already 50+ years old and your organs are wecked. Even if you do go sober. youre not young enough to recover from the damage you caused you body so you will just suffer.

Nah man just keep drinking yourself into oblivion so you can at least enjoy being drunk for your retirement years. Let the bottle show you the way.

>This seems like a common occurrence with girls who get into long term relationships when they're young.
Why is this such a thing? I see it so often. These women get married or into really long-term relationships young, and then at some point down the line get bored and want to "see and experience what they're missing out on in life" as if breaking up with someone to go fuck a bunch of other people will suddenly open their eyes.

Half the time I see them end up on some kind of drug, partying constantly and fucking up their life hardcore. Not to mention the fact that they tend to also have kids.

>>8180922

what motivational blog did you pull that piece of shit phrase from?

>>8180841
>root beer and jager
That literally ruins the entire point of jager, its supposed to be a digestif.
Women really are the worst.
>>8180959
Its basically the whole "take 100 dicks before settling down because I need someone to take care of my shopping and food for me" mantra that some women develop if they didn't get it around 18-19 and can go up to late 20s if their slut clock is fucked. However there are still some girls out there who aren't like this and would rather fuck guys who have more then just a decent sized cock, most of them are taken though so good luck.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound like I think all women are like that. I know some pretty awesome girls. But sadly, you're right, the good ones get snatched up really fucking quickly and are loyal as hell.

Just can't help but notice how disturbingly common the previously stated situation occurs. I've watched some guys I know go through hell and back over that kind of shit.

>>8181151
Can't have your cake and eat it too, nigger. The grass will always look greener at some point in your life.

I want to say I hate people like you, but you very likely have poor impulse control with more things in your life than just your drinking.

>>8181540
listerine is just unsweetened schnapps bro, go for it

>>8181151

I suggest breaking up with her so you can chase tail and "succeed" in mediocrity banging a few 6s and 7s and not finding anyone you can love and dying alone in five or so decades

>>8180841
It couldn't actually be worse.

Oh, it actually goes pretty quick. I've seen 2 uncles die from it. In one, the cirrhosis caused esophageal varisces, where his gut started hemorraghing and wouldn't stop. Dead within 24 hours. In the other, he turned lemon yellow, slipped into a coma and was dead in 48 hours.

I'm 22 years old

Please explain to me how I FINALLY quit drinking on September 10th, had a great month long run of sobriety, and the past couple of days my craving for alcohol has been inescapable. I caved today. I've been going to the gym an doing everything right. I bought a pint of vodka at 1:30 and now im finishing a pint of whiskey at 3 in the AM. HOW DO YOU STOP? IM SCARED AND IM LONELY

>8181797
>8181151

thats what i did. this guys sarcasm is somewhat justified, but it has its moments. in hindsight i probably should have just knocked her up and been done with it but whatever.

if you going to stay you might as well start a family and be done with it.

Its been going good honestly. I've been pacing myself, not drinking on the weekdays and saving myself for the weekends. Last week I only drank one night and limited myself to about half a fifth, it was pretty good.
but tomorrow, technically today, is my birthday. And somehow because of this single day of the week that shouldn't be like any other i'm feeling depressed. The years pass by like when you're on a monorail watching the sign posts
I hope this year can be better than the last
But whatever, i'm drunk off shitty vodka and hope you all have a pleasant day

If you literally haven't gotten drunk in a month+, props.

Sounds like you need to work on not going nuts when you do drink, particularly when you're around others. My advice is to eat a lot and drink plenty of water when you do go out with people. Pace yourself, stay away from shots or hard liquor in general. You'll do fine in your next friend circle

Ugh, every now and then I have a day where I feel so shitty I can't even drink. Tonite is that night. I'm shaking and twitching like crazy and I think my body temperature is about 96 at best. The though of alcohol is revolting, but I still want to drink. ugh...

8 beers down. 4 left. Quit drinking liquor about a month ago. Trying to cut down, don't drink nearly as much as I was. Feels pretty ok

Painless suicide method ideas? I can't take the horror of withdrawals. Thought I'd lay my neck backwards onto a chainsaw.

If not trolling, possible actual retard. You're not gonna be able to push through the knee jerk reaction of a chainsaw to the neck. Just take opiates+benzodiazepines and be done with it.

>>8185850
have you ever used a chainsaw? they're fucking nuts. i'd be immediatelt decapitated

>People sleep on that Seagrams Extra Smooth Vodka

Great tasting, goes down easy, and mixes well
All for a couple bucks

Been sober for about 10 days, started a new job where I found out we get to help out with one of my favorite TV shows when they start filming, my coworkers are awesome, the job is easy as hell for me, my relationship is better than it has been in awhile, and I had an awesome lunch today with my Dad. I even made plans with him to go shoot some hoops before work tomorrow since has has the day off (sounds lame but we used to do that all the time when I was little). He even told me how good I looked and encouraged me with how well I'm doing so far. I'm loving this and I don't want to go back guys. Wish me luck.

I had one craving tonight after work and almost went and bought some booze but stopped myself and bought a small cake for the family (we hardly ever have sweets) instead and we had some nice family time watching one of the "Bourne" movies just for fun.

>>8185857
Yes I have, many times. I work manual labor and literally fix trees on my weekend mornings. No, you wouldn't. High chance of failure and serious damage.

>>8183139
You made me tear up, I'm drunk after being hospitalized and getting somewhat better, but I failed. I understand the fear and lonliness

I don't understand how anyone can become an alcoholic
Alcohol tastes disgusting when you first start trying it. Your body tries to reject it, you feel sick. It's literally going "what are you doing, stop putting poison into me!" because that's basically what alcohol is. You have to force yourself to drink poison for a decent amount of time before it tastes good. I know the effects are really nice, it does make you feel good but it's something you have to force yourself to do.

>>8185792
Exit bag, competely painless. You really have to want to die to sit and wait for it though, although I suppose that's true with killing yourself in any way. Just remember it's non-reversable, and you'll completely wreck your friends and family for a long time. There's so many things you can do with your life, suicide ends all of them.

You guys are making it easier for me, I hope you know that. I love you guys. <3

>>8185973
been in bed for years because of 1/4 of a century of drinking. i cant sleep through the night because i go into withdrawal. i have seizures if i go without for 1 day. im shaking so much i keep pressing the wrong buttons on my laptop, my nerves are so wrecked i drop everything, cant use a phone. i'm goimg blind due to alcohol-caused brain damage. 70cl of vodka only gets me tipsy and im thousands in debt because of booze. i upset my family by existing. and myself too. alcohol has shreded me. has to end.

>>8185983
oh and i've been to jail twice, ben banned from driving twice, lost the only girl ive ever loved, lost every friend, drink 3-5 litress of vovdka a day, almost never eat, been in hospital/detox/rehab more times than i can cunt, lost my house, andnow cant walk.

escape, everyone. fucking run like hell while you can still move.

>>8186012

oh and the hallucinations. both visual and auditory, are fucking terrifying. i see zombies, decapitated heads, shadows which talk to me... so fuck this. im killing myself.

>>8186022
you could get help

>>8186028
nah, sick of it all. fuck life.

>>8185969
I still have to force myself after 10+ years. My stomach feels like it's bleeding and a sip of water can make my puke if I'm not careful. I will always hate the taste.

To understand a person that knows they are alcoholic and keeps drinking, you need to understand that a person can find life so abhorrent they reject it completely and choose to be numb and slowly die over even trying.

My first choice was actually heroin addict, but the liquor store is right there

Took a 10 day vacation from work. I've done nothing but gotten drunk and play video games. I'm dreading going back on Monday. Sobriety is so fucking boring.

>tells me stuff I did that I don't remember, harmless/funny bullshit

Repeat for every gathering I go to. I blackout and then freak myself out thinking I did something awful. So far so good.

Got drunk as fuck last night and blacked out, nothing unusual there. However this time, I decided to keep a journal of my thoughts on the notepad on my desk for some reason.

Pretty funny, gave me a good laugh this morning. Think I might do it again tonight.

Anyone else done similar?

Beats posting on social media / talking to people....

If you're not a horrible person deep inside you generally don't have to worry about much awful things happening when you black out and autopilot takes over. That's my experience anyway.

>>8186318

It's been the same for me as well, but it doesn't stop it from being scary.

>>8186328
That's true, I doubt myself too sometimes.

I tend to save the blackouts for when I'm drinking alone nowadays.

Have a photo for good measure. I remember none of this, but seems like it was a good night.

I will do it again tonight if I remember. As noted, I need to buy more alcohol

>>8186336

Very nice, Britbro. Drinking alone is fun.

anyone tried mixing benzos and heroin with vodka? now that is a proper blackout recipe. ive woken up in police cells twice and one time had to wait 7 hours to find out why

Feel bad man, a recent flurry of bad decisions made me feel extremely lonely. Partying should be fun but it ls leaving me feeling fucked. I likely dont make sense right now but im so passed letting these girls slip past me because i either never make a move or i have my chance and blow it by self pity

i think we're all doomed. this is horrific beyond description.

Former al/ck/y here. Quitting is really tough. Especially in the first few months. For me I was self medicating, so no more medication. Face the music.jpeg. Life is way better now. Is it perfect? Fuckkkkk no, but I don't regularly have self harm thoughts anymore. So Ive got that going for me

>>8178227
Anyone ever get eczema from drinking too much? I got all of these itchy spots all over my legs that get worse whenever I drink.

>>8186789
That's just poison ivy from when you blacked out and woke up in a poison ivy patch like I did one time.

>>8186789
yup, but only because i spend all day and night laying in piss.

>>8186789
btw believe me, i know your pain. hydrocortisone wasnt enough. even betnovate wasnt enough. i had to be put on a fucking 1 month course of prednisolone. withdrawing from that was as bad as the booze.

mildly disoriented, tired, dry mouth

going to have dinner with my parents, brother and and fiancee, silently dreading it and trying to stay sober long enough to go through the whole thing

generally another Saturday night

>>8187436
>dinner with my parents, brother
>stay sober

That would be impossible for me since my whole family drink like fish and have the money to afford good shit.

>>8187460

Same here, I head home twice a year or so and my Dad is great company. Last time he brought out a bottle of Macallan 18 and threw the cork in the fire.

Had a couple of cigars with it, was a really great evening.

>>8187581
Sounds exactly like my situation. If I try not to drink, it's really a stilted and uncomfortable evening for everyone. That's one of my myriad excuses for not stopping. I'd have to cut off family gatherings, and we're all fun and happy drunks. It'd really suck.

Drinking some stout 120 proof moonshine right now.

>>8187614
>>8187581

brother is much more successful than me, his fiancee is a nondrinker though, so might not have to do the whiskey with pop and bro

I'm scared I'm going to be going through a breakup soon and I know it's going to cause me to relapse hard. I seriously hope it's just me overthinking shit like I always do.

>>8187616
poor bastard.

>>8178699
The problem is most sluts you pick up at bars stopped maturing emotionally past the mid-late teens. Even old bar hags in their 40-50s that i've fucked had the brains/maturity of an average 16 year old girl.

How do I not beat myself up for relapsing the past two nights?

Fucking fuck I hate alcohol. Just get out of my life already.

I'm finally done with it. No other choice.

I was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy about 6 years ago. Mild case. Drinking has made it worse over the years. Just couldn't stop even with the knowledge of my condition. Had some good times, not going to lie. Terrible way to deal with self-loathing and depression, I know. I am not a smart person.

Maybe I can squeeze another 15 years out of this life (I'm 37 now), but maybe not.

i hope you all give up and end it all. this is what you get for being cucked by a beverage

>>8191965
you'll be back

>>8178227

Terrible. Worst I have ever been barely holding it together.

Not well. I did alright quitting for a while now having relapsed I seem to be burning through money again and I'm rapidly gaining weight. Not sure how I've put on so much weight. I generally only have one meal a day. I guess the calories in booze and the shit quality of the food are beginning to take its toll. Need to quit again. Why do I keep telling myself, "just one more day"?

promised myself i would quit for a year and then see where i was at. i came up on a year a few days ago. now thinking about trying to be responsible with it and get a beer but havent yet. when it was bad it was pretty bad but its not like im never going to have a drink again

>>8178227
I'm having a few morning beers right now. It legitimately happened again. This is the turning point.

>>8179109
Just practice jacking off multiple times in a row. I literally cum usually right after insertion but I'm able to stay rock hard and go 2 or 3 more times.

You'd be surprised most girls are into it. Use viagra if you're unable.

>>8179109
it's a nerves/stress thing

my favourite pub in my city reopened last week and i didn't even realise. it's had a refurbishment (why do these always take soooo long for pubs?), so hopefully not too much will have changed. gonna head there after work (in 30mins). can't wait! i hope they've managed to keep some of the same staff, that would be great

>>8178227
Doing alright today, waking up with a few Budweisers and video games, have to work at 7pm-close tonight so plenty of time to take a nap before I go in.

>>8179634
4 weeks is a long time, it's tough! If you still feel bad about the amount you are drinking, even though it is less than before, just remember that anything better is still better and you aren't doomed, you have it in you to improve.
That in mind, you can set goals for yourself, whether it is trying to have more frequent or longer runs of sobriety, continuing to drink marginally less until you feel more comfortable, whatever.

No matter what you choose to do, you are always making choices and it's always going to be tough if you're holding yourself back from what you want in life!

Drank 2000kckals of beer to get my maintenance out of the way
Now I'm drinking liquor because I'm not drunk enough to handle the rest of my day
Who else has crazy alcohol tolerance?
Last night I barely got drunk off of a 750ml 40% rye. finished the whole bottle in about 3.5 hrs.
Thinking about switching to 190 proof grain alcohol to save money, but the intense burn and flavor are terrible and it's just about too much for chronic heartburn.

Beginner alcoholic
You can still turn back

>tfw alcohol consumption is up to 1/2 - 1 liter of 40%abv whiskey per day without having to justify it with "building up courage" "winding down after work" or "depression"
Trust me you wont have friends soon if you stay on this track. nobody wants to talk to alcoholics except therapists and other alcoholics (barely)

Keep drinking lads but dont forget to take vitamin b pills in order to avoid alcoholic neurosis. That shit is no joke. Knocked out my left leg for weeks, it can be permanent sometimes too.

>>8193857
word i cant feel my left pinky anymore

Friday I told myself I'd only drink a sixpack while watching the Duke game.

I ended up drinking a 6 pack. And all the loose beer in my fridge. And some gin I had leftover.

I'm afraid I'll start making this a nightly thing. Over the summer I probably had three beers every night, and when I stopped for relationship reasons I had trouble sleeping.

Whenever I try to go to sleep when I'm exceedingly sober now, the myoclonic jerks are getting worse and weirder, and they feel like they are actually in my head and may spike my pulse for a minute if I'm not just imagining that.
Anyone else have experience with this?

>>8194107
I get them pretty frequently every night
They're pretty harmless I think, so try your best not to lose sleep over them or they will get even worse.
Just do your best to fall right back asleep after the shock

>>8179634
you sound like me, bro. i've tried to stop so many times, i've just reconciled to allowing myself to drink twice a week or so, seems to be the best i can do. an improvement, but not sustainable since i'm sure ive done some damage to my liver and i need long term sobriety for real healing.

>>8184757
I can second this, I TA various undergrad classes and alcohol and opioids make grading a breeze.

Didn't drink 2 days ago, drank yesterday, didn't drink today. Pretty solid feeling. I was drinking probably 5 days a week. 1/3 a handle each time, and that's after 4 or 5 drinks at the bar. Moved to a brand new part of the country, don't know anyone, no job yet, just a few "friends" at the local watering hole. I have a terrible habit of drunk texting or Facebooking too, so I'm really trying to be careful about that.

Not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow. I have never been this apathetic and lost in my entire life. My money is dwindling pretty quickly and I seem to have no motivation to work or do anything productive. Tomorrow I'll go for a hike in the morning to at least do some physical activity. Probably will go to the bar after and polish off this bottle swearing that it's the last one I buy. Fuck.

Have to lie to my parents and tell them that I'm trying ot get a job, etc. etc. when in fact I'm so anxiety ridden about getting a job again for some reason it's ridiculous. No reasoning behind it either. Bit of a headcase lately. No withdrawals or anything fortunately, but I just get so bored when I'm not drunk. Wish I could smoke weed, but I'm worried that once I inevitably get of my ass and get a job, that I'll be drug tested. What a fucking mess my life is right now. 3 months in what should be an exciting, new town and new chapter in my life, and I've squandered it drinking and watching Netflix since I'm too depressed/anxious/drunk to do anything productive. Gotta love it. Need to get my mind right and everything will fall into place. That begins with cutting back on drinking to 2-3 times a week. At least it'll be a start.

I'm in a downward spiral and only making worse. 2nd semester grad school and letting other people down and letting myself down. I'm not cut out for this shit. I should be grading or reading or writing but instead I start drinking at night for a few hours of happiness and then wake up feeling like shit. Nothing gets done in the mornings now and afternoons I just sleep. I don't even think I'm an alcoholic I'm just weak and lazy fuck

Holy hell. You guys make me feel like I have it all together.

>>8198790
you'll get there. i'm probably just a bit older than you lot. 25 years of daily drinking and believe me, your tolerance becomes insane, you physically need the shit so you can't escape, and your body falls to bits.

Was supposed to drink a bottle of Devil's Cut last night at then quit today. Drank it last night, done nothing with my day off and now with evening approaching I'm tempted to guy buy another bottle.

What is wrong with me?

>>8198801
you never went to a hospital at any point during all those years to detox?

>>8198672
at least eat dude. buy some fuckin ramen or something

>>8198807
9 times. then immediately relapsed.
>>8198808
no point man, i just throw up immediately.

>>8198806
I remember you. It's not going to be worth it, because it's just going to further bury you into bad habits and it gets more difficult to break those. Don't do it.

>>8198808
Not who you're quoting, but you might not understand how hard it becomes to eat food. You feel so nauseous even while chewing that it becomes almost impossible to keep it down. I had some experiences with this and it's the worst.

>>8198812
>9 times. then immediately relapsed.
oh, and every time, i'd sneak vodka in, in mineral water bottles. cocaine too. yes, i'm fucking insane and retarded.

>>8198813
Going to be a long night.

>>8198817
I suggest curling up in bed or on the couch, get as comfortable as possible and watch movies/shows/youtube, or have a podcast or music or whatever the hell is going to distract you. I've found listening to a podcast from my area is very helpful to keep my mind occupied...something about having human voices talking just distracts me.

>>8198821
I'm on the couch now. Probably is that's the same spot I do my drinking. I honestly feel like drinking all night and watching sitcom repeats. Pathetic habit but I find it so comfy.

>>8198813
yogurt, cold, moisture-rich fruit like melon, canned peaches. gatorade/cold coca cola to replace the sugar from alcohol while you detox. lots of water. the horrible dreams, the night sweats, the uncontrollable twitching, flinching, twisting around, and talking to yourself and crying and anger and guilt.

but start with some soft, cold foods. your stomach senses when something is solid and will need longer to digest than liquid, and it kicks in a different sort of phase of the whole thing. and if you can't hold it down, then throw it up until the bile comes up and you're lying on the floor half-sobbing, drooling, and wanting to die. then get some food down in an hour or two.

>>8198822
*Problem

>>8198822
It won't be worth it though, man. Trust me, I've been in that situation too many times and even though it will suck tonight, the trade off is you sliding into horrible habits that wreck everything

Got out of detox / psych ward today.

Emotionally exhausted. Cops found me with a. 45 mm in my mouth.

I'm taking a leave of absence from my job and
Going home to be with my parents and dogs and see a therapist.

I stay sober and take my meds but the constant low burn of depression and apathy and work stress takes its toll and then I just go on massive suicidal vodka benders for days and days

>>8178227
Final semester culinary student shit is kicking into high gear as the Hotel Events and Catering class's 100 person fully student led event draws nearer. Constant classes and unpaid internships take all my time and I don't understand how I'm holding myself back from the jager in my fridge. Control feels good and shit but it'd make the insomnia fuck off for once.

>>8198852
I've luckily been able to keep my benders to just one day...big change from my old days of a fifth a day. Still, I hate having those days pop up because it's like my body just goes into automatic and reaches for drinks until I wake up hours later and feel like death for the next 24-48 hours.

>>8198881

You should go buy more booze.

>>8199128
I've only drank 1.5 nights in the past 2 weeks with the desire slowly dwindling. I still think about it a lot, and the urges definitely come in full force, especially near the time the stores will be closing. Just gotta hold onto a little more willpower for myself during those times.

I'm pretty ready to just be done and over with this all. It's done enough damage to my life over the past ~10 years.

we're morning drinking right now

>>8199038
Because people might actually believe what people say about some dead guy. That's how history gets changed.

>>8199153
Shut

My eyelid is twitching again for the first time in four years.

>>8199211
fuck yeah

>>8199214
Thanks dude. What are you up to right now?
I'm nursing a bit of vodka. I knew I shouldn't have had so much liquor over the weekend when I had some special company. Thought this could happen.

>>8198522
bout 10 or 12

Right, I really need to quit this shit. Slowly gotten to the point where I am drinking a bottle (70cl) a day and I have to stop. It is making me poor, fat, and totally unproductive. I need to stop this while I still can.

Has anyone here had any success, and got any tips they could share? I drink in the evenings only, so I am planning to find something to do then to keep me busy. I am thinking gym? There is one round the corner from my flat.

I really don't want to end up like >>8198608 but I can see things going that way...

>>8199375
>It is making me poor, fat, and totally unproductive.

This describes the impact of the habit on me perfectly.

why did the alcoholics end up on /ck/?

maybe its an industry thing, drug abuse is rife in the chefing world. but maybe alcoholics also appreciate food like they appreciate their booze?

either way i'm onto my third scotch after a longneck of stout.

i think weed is a much better long term abuse prospect but it kills all motivation.

good luck gents, hope you all make it. especially that second post guy who is about to die :(

>>8199390
>i think weed is a much better long term abuse prospect but it kills all motivation.

It sure does. Wish I hadn't smoked so heavily during my adolescence.

I get kind of gay when I'm drunk. Normally I can hide it but tonight I let it out a little. I hope I don't get called on being a fag because I'm getting married soon.

managed to not get a few malts at 8 in the morning. jesus christ.

>>8199532
You are gay or at least bi. Get married you will still wank cock when your drunk though.

>>8199390
Weed doesn't kill your motivation, you just don't have any. I know tons of people who are successful who smoke, you just have to be able to handle your shit. I know lawyers, engineers, journalists, and a whole shit ton of biologists who chief it out every day. Don't blame your laziness on the weed.

ITT: weak human beings.
Alcohol is society's way of culling you.

last night was my first night without a beer in nearly three years. i've been cutting down slowly, and had been on two "light" beers a night. even with the two beers, nothing has really been able to fill the hole getting drunk leaves. is it worth it to quit guys? does anyone have any advice?

How do I balance enjoying the taste of drinks like G&T and mojito's, with being worried about consumption?

I think my uncle is a functioning alcoholic or whatever the term is, he drank a bottle and a half of red wine at dinner and then drove home. How is that possible?

>bottle and a half of wine

Wow, I didn't even think the human stomach could hold that much! There are people in this thread who drink 1 litre or more of 40% alcohol spirits a day in this thread right now.

>>8180959
It seems like maybe they got married before they were ready, and felt that they missed out on the fun young exciting life that people (men and women) are "supposed to have."
This also happens to men who marry before they are ready, and it can turn into either abuse, cheating, or wanting to leave the relationship no matter which partner feels that way.

I think it has to do more with getting married young and the context and expectations of young people than a specific thing about women or guys. It's just a lack of maturity, or lack of world experience, or not knowing what you want, or feeling like you missed out. It doesn't make sense to you?

>>8181540
just buy booze, it is safer than drinking mouthwash.
I have taken shots of listerine when I reached the end of the bottle, it doesn't do good makes you feel more sick and not more drunk.

>>8199384
I'd say those are pretty common themes across the board if you get really deep into fucking your shit up.

>>8199557
I know a guy who I've been drinking with every day for years, he makes a shit ton of cash at a job that is actually important for the world. He's handled his shit better than I have, it can happen with some people.

>>8199573
I really believe it's not worth it to quit entirely, but I think it's definitely worth it to stop blasting down liquor every day.

>>8199667
kek, not trying to be a jerk here son but all kinds of people do that shit all the time, it's not that much.

reddit.com/r/stopdrinking

haven't drank anything in a few days. yesterday I just napped, smoked a lil
kinda feel like napping today too but I have homework

I don't think I could do this for an extended period, it's so boring.

>>8178274
1.5 years sober here

>>8199667
Is he a big guy?

>>8200326
what changes did you notice and when did they happen

>>8200326
1,5 years down the slope, feels shit man.

No drinking for me today, guys. Going to the gym, then going to smoke for awhile this evening, and just enjoy my night.

>>8178270
No tomorrow is definitely Thursday you fucking drunk

>>8200855
He's saying he gets Friday off so tomorrow is technically the start of his weekend, dummy.

>>8200945
no youre wrong

Can't drink anywhere I used to without throwing up. Used to be able to drink 3 bottles of wine a day no problem, now anything past 1 will cause me to puke it all out. I guess no more getting drunk for me.

Has anyone here tried making mead?

If so, is it worth it?

>>8201095
It's ok. I would recommend making a melomel (aka mead with fruit)

>>8201107
I heard of people doing that.
Is because it ferments easier?

>>8181151

>>8199573
Find something to fill the hole, a hobby or a sport.
Sport is good, it helps with the physiological part of stopping. Get some running shoes and go outside, or go the the local gym and have no homo gay sex like /fit/ does.
Or /diy/ your house to make it a new home.

>>8200315

21 year old here, don't even fucking think about it. I've been a fatty for over a decade but only drinking once a week for 9 months, and once I noticed my alcohol cravings were stronger than my soda cravings i put the brakes on that shit

I had a shot of bourbon last night watching the debate and now my parents think I'm an alcoholic because I have small drinks every couple days when I just want a quick taste of concentrated spice and oak (I've literally never been drunk before and never had a hangover in my entire 22 year old life).

Should I tell them to fuck off or do I have a problem if I drink an ounce of whisky 4-5 times a week?

couldn't make it out to my lunch time drink :(
time to pop my emergency xanax

>>8201838
22 year old as of september. First drink at 21 (murica), first drunken night a month after, currently taking on a fifth of vodka a day just to get through.
I was never going to be drunk I used to say, never going to be an alcoholic. Everything changed when I dipped my toes in. Just watch yourself if you get in.

>>8202543
You don't have a problem.

>>8200478
9 years down the slope, don't feel much.

>get absolutely blitzed on a work night while watching the debate
>get up at 6 the next morning feeling the same as every morning
man it's sweet being in my early 20s. how long can I expect this to last?

probably had 8 drinks yesterday, so far none today. I hope to keep it that way, as I've got to work tomorrow.

>>8203433
a year or so of heavy drinking.
Being al alkie is hard work. Even drinking a bottle a night for a month isn't going to hook up. 6 months you're getting there, after a solid year you're going to be hooked and have withdrawl issues.

Any gin drinkers around here? i recently bought my first bottle after religiously drinking vodka
I got Gordon's and it was pretty decent i'd say, especially considering the price. I hate tonic but in combination with gin its really nice
What other brands should i try? i think my options from the local stores are very limited, but i know theres Tanqueray, is it any good?
also not looking to spend more than 20 bucks, after all i really just want to get drunk

>>8203433
Until somewhere in your late twenties. I'm 29, used to be like you and I still rarely get hangovers, but the brainfog is getting harder and harder to shake during the day. The inability to focus fucks me up so I'm cutting down while I can.

>>8203433
>>8203518
I started getting anxiety attacks from not drinking when I was 24-25, but granted I started at 18. I drank with absolutely insane nightly abandon during my early twenties though.

I'm on Antabuse, but it's my birthday, so I'm drinking anyway. It's going to be a rotten experience, but I'm doing it.

>>8202706
21 was definitely a tipping point for me although I had displayed some alcoholic tendencies prior to that, just did not have full access until I was legal.

Took me 4 years to get to the point you're at, fifth of shit vodka every single day just to survive. At that rate, you need to get to a hospital to help you detox, and I highly recommend you do it soon. I know it's tough to make that decision, it took me a long time, but the sooner you do it, the better.

Please don't turn out like me and have it go on long enough that you forget what it's like to not drink all the time. It will make your recovery so much worse. You've got this, you can do it. You just have to take that first step and I promise it's worth it.

>>8204270
How on earth is that possibly going to be worth it? Don't you get deathly ill from doing that? Not talking down to you, but man I can't fathom making that decision.

>>8204564
I'm on 250 mg. It makes drinking unpleasant. But still possible.

And I'm past the unpleasantness. Now I'm just enjoying it.

The bad thing is now I know I can do it. I guess I have to go up to 500 mg.
