Chugging the sake I got for my birthday yesterday from my sister. Opened it half an hour ago, should be gone in another 15. Then the vodka.

>tfw too much of a pussy to kill myself

Drinking Devil's Cut and preparing to watch the Lord of the Rings on network tv despite having it sitting on a bookshelf 15 feet away.

>>8205421
sounds pretty comfy

Had a couple of shots since I woke up just to readjust trying to keep it at that

Drank a lot last night. God dam it I thought I had to fart but it was a splurt of greasy poo water, has this happened to you?

>>8206457
The morning after btw

>>8205399

>>8206457
I never shit my pants while drunk or hungover if thats what you're asking

Jesus no, I ain't no bearded sword loving cuck. Rando had me take his photo at the airport and send it to him.

I don't think his mum would let him have a phone.

Getting sauced with some bulleit.

Can we assemble some goat music to drink alone to?

I Drink Alone

Just sipping my first beer of the night, but I like to listen to:
Good Friday
and
The Hollows
both by the band Why?

>>8207381
Cheers mate :^)

Currently listening to some Travis Tritt:

The Whiskey Ain''t Workin'
Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)

I do also like some catchy pop stuff like
Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon

I've been succesfully cutting back my drinking over the past couple months, only have 3-4 beers on a friday night and have only gotten truly drunk twice. But I'm going to a wedding tomorrow with an open bar, it's going to be tough to not make a fool out of myself in front of family like I usually do. It's easy to say "I'm just going to have a couple, I'll control myself" but you guys know that alcoholic thirst you get once you start catching a buzz, especially when there's an open bar

>>8207397
Same situation here, don't fuck up. Tell yourself 2 drinks, but make them damn good ones and then switch to water or tonic/lime.

I'm having my weekly sixer instead of having a 5th or 24 rack a night. feelsgoodman.

>>8207407
I usually tell myself I'll just stick to beer, since that's better than hard liquor right? Then before I know it I've had 12 beers

>drink 10 beers a day on average
>tfw everytime i skim through al/ck/ threads i always end up feeling good about myself

You guys are battling more than just alchoholism.

Just saying.

>>8207371
Check out Townes Van Zandt. It's old outlaw country. He also managed to drink himself to death. His album High Low and In Between is a great place to start because it has some of his most popular tracks: Pancho and Lefty, Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold and To Live is to Fly. It's his and my opinion that To Live is to Fly is one of his best charts.

alcoholism rarely is present on it's own, it usually goes hand in hand with anxiety, depression, and other issues. There's almost always a reason we drink

>>8207411
2 drinks man or you know what will happen

>>8207412
always drink to celebrate
never when you have a problem

Ice cider I got as a gift. Not bad but not great either

I was doing good for a almost 5 years, then found out I couldn't get off work to go see my daughter for Halloween and the cancer has gotten worse and nothing I do matters and my life is still shit. Started drinking again earlier, still went to work and did great but fuck me I hate this. I hate everything about this situation.

Fuck it

>>8206320
It was.

Didn't finish my bottle though. I steamed up some frozen dumplings at around 2am and blacked out at some point after eating them. Woke up at 5am on the couch, heater blaring and a little under a quarter of the bottle still left. Guess I'm drinking again tonight. Dangerous though because I know that won't be enough and there's a high chance I'll go and buy more.
Fuck this vicious cycle.

>>8207556
*again

I missed it with her last year too and hardly get to see her because we live in different states. I just feel so shitty

I'd suggest not telling anyone this
you can say that to yourself all you want but if you wind up do fucking up and drinking a shit ton then they'll just say "WELL YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO LIMIT YOURSELF WHAT HAPPENED"

>>8205295
Got drunk off my ass and fell down my stairs last night. I think I was out cold for a while. Woke up, bandaged the huge gash in my forhead, and passed out in my bed.

I didnt realize how it happened the next morning till I saw the huge puddle of blood on the floor.

Fortunately no concussion, just a lot of bumps and bruises and a cut on my forehead that my coworkers were wondering if I got stitches for.

Pretty scary wakeup call. Considering I live alone, and I actually know a kid that guy that died falling down a staircase while hammered.

On the plus side, I didnt have a hangover.

>>8206457
never trust a fart while hungover or on a bender.
NEVER.

>>8207411
Faggot I told myself the same thing. Wife and kids out of town I am currently 15 deep and still drinking feeling good.

>>8207582
end of the day is good enough for me tbqh

Snorted some amphetamines for the first time while drinking ridiculous amounts of alcohol. Being high on speed whil drunk was the best feeling ever. Had extreme anxiety the next day but I felt like a king while drunk and I'm scared of making it a habit.

>>8207422
I hear this. Fictional drunk here I know its anxiety. Had a huge panic attack at work today. This is my problem any suggestions?

>>8207657

>>8207649
Yolo

>>8207657
The drunk/sober cycle is probably the contributing factor to your anxiety.

anxiety is a major symptom of withdrawl.

who /work tomorrow/ here?
only 10-3 so not that bad, really

>>8207662
lol fictional

i got horrible panic attacks as well when i decided to quit. really scared the shit out of me. i think it was partly because i was worried about money and partly just quitting cold turkey.

money situation has since improved and i dont get panic attacks anymore. i cant say that was it for sure but i can definitely say that i feel much better in general now that im sober

going to bed

End of the day just means the next morning is closer. I work 7 days a week.

What gives me this fucking horrendous heartburn? Is the alcohol or soda I'm mixing it with?

If officially done it. Mark this date. Because I've drank myself into oblivion.
Nothing makes sense, im shitposting on every board, its just fucking amazingly terrible

>>8208230
5 am and Im cracking open my first beer of the morning. I feel you.

I'm going my first AA meeting tomorrow.

>>8208243
Good luck. I hated AA, but I only went to one meeting with my brother (he was going for his own addicition). It does really work for some people though. It works for him.

I cant stand how they say theres only this one and only way to stop drinking. I hate the religious aspect, the confession aspect, and the manadatory attendance and free labor aspect. It sounds like a scam.

>>8208248

I'm going to give it a go. I'm a terrible binge drinker. I can go a couple of weeks just with the odd glass of wine then I will go on a 24 hour bender and it's fucking my life.
The religious aspect is something that does concern me though.

>>8208206
Both, but I find str8 liquor to cause the least heartburn.

Start popping that zantac lad.

>>8208253
Like I said, good luck. I meant it honestly, not sarcastically. The religious aspect is something you have to hear about in the meetings. People will talk about their religious experience because that's how most of them cope. You dont have to participate in that part, but you do gotta sit and listen. It seems like the whole idea is to listen at that point. You can likely find a like-minded sponsor pretty easily though. Just be honest with them about it.

>>8207397
You're probably not still here, but put reminders on your phone to go off through the evening reminding yourself to not get wasted. It's what I do, and it doesn't always work but it's worth a try, even if it just slows you down temporarily

My ideal night is sitting in a dark dive, sipping on Jameson and smoking alone.

Why?

I'm so fucking unhappy guys. I think I might need to see my counselor again. Its just so heavy and so shitty. Fuck.

>>8208257

Cheers dude, I do appreciate it.

>>8207491
But I drink to forget my problems though.

>>8208256
I just went and bought another bottle but had to pick up some Gaviscon while I was at it. Munched down 6 tablets and it's feeling a bit better. Able to drink again without it feeling like swallowing sulphuric acid but gotta sip it.

>>8208264
Because Jameson is good

This guy speaks the truth.

I've gotten a sponsor who was totally cool with the atheist / agnostic stuff. The way he explained it was trusting in that Higher Power thing, which could just be the simple act of talking about your personal shit in a group setting. So, I rolled with it and it worked OK. Hell, you don't even have to talk at all, just listening works quite well. Making the effort to show up counts more than you could imagine. Was kinda scary at first but I think that's because I'm sky, antisocial, etc...

I would do this in the bar across the street from my house. It was the only place you could smoke legally (was called a smoking lounge) because California is fucking gay-tarded. But I would write whatever popped into my head in a composition book all night long and roll my own cigarettes. Because I never bothered anybody, the bartenders would hook me up all the time (and I tipped well). Man, those were the days...

>>8208295
Follow each gulp of alcohol with a gulp of ice water. That's what I'm doing tonight and it works nicely. Shitty Popov vodka straight from the bottle... But no hangover. I usually polish off 8/10ths of the bottle.

>that's polish, not Polish

>>8208295
Try an H2 antagonist in the future as opposed to an antacid, they're much more helpful.

I also find drinking diluted liquors like soju helpful, but my GI tract is already fucked beyond repair.

This Anon knows what they are talking about.
My dad is a pharmacist and explained to me how antacids will actually make it worse in the long-run. Seems counterintuitive, I know but the H2 blockers are less stressful on your tummy (and lower) (and higher).

>>8207741
I have work but its only a few hours and as long as I finish before 7pm I'm good.

I visited my parents for dinner and stole a bottle of kraken from my little brothers room while I was there. Gonna polish this off, listen to snarky puppy and contemplate suicide.

What are you guys doing for your Saturday evening?

>>8208253

But if you're really wasted drunk, early Jandek is always fun in a drunken stupor.

If that's too "out there" for you, Cracker's "Country Sides" album has got a lot of nice drinkin' tunes on it. All over the place, country/rock covers with lots of references to drug and drink. But all in good fun, of course... with loads of depression (but not goth).

Been sober since 2007.
Lost my house, girlfriend and eventually my job.
Sucked.

Don't get me wrong, I'm never gonna get down on anybody drinking it up or anything like that. But I just took it too far for the people around me to just sit by (and my own mortality).
I still love hanging around with people who drink. It's frowned upon by AA folks but fuck 'em if they can't handle that. To each their own, you know?

It's worth checking out because it works better than any prescription drugs and also it's totally free and anonymous. And if you don't want to participate, then just don't go to the meetings. I dropped out for years and nobody razzed me about it. They were pretty chill. And I got myself back in check...

>>8208348

Keep seeing this title referenced. I'll check it out, as well. It was William S. Burroughs' book that I always got a kick out of regarding drugs and drink ("Junkie", "Naked Lunch", et al...).

Dear god, friend. Hang in there.

>>8208248
Just my 2c as a member... The literature actually says "we don't have a monopoly on recovery we just have a way that has worked for us." Its spirituality based not religious (there are members who don't believe in god at all). Yeah the 'confession' part is where most people stop and it is a little intimidating, ppl tend to do it when they've tried everything else. I personally wasnt as offput by it as i 2qs by catholic confession because there's not one holy authority you have to talk to. I wouldn't really call setting up chairs or talking to a guy over coffee 'free labor' but things like that are reccomended since we belive selfishness is a barrier to recovery. You might have met members who contradict these things and yeah they're out there... but nothing else worked for me.

Thinks about getting some booze as usual. Kinda cold outside so im heisitant. Ill probably end up going. *sigh* im surprised ive waited this late in the morning.

I've gone to a bunch of AA meetings, most them absolutely hammered. I relapsed hard out of detox, was ass blasted on the job for three weeks straight.

I never heard a bad word from anyone about AA even when they knew I was drunk. I've never heard Jesus mentioned although you do say the Our Father prayer.

I think it's customary to end the meeting with the Lord's Prayer at most of them, regardless of country. I've been to a bunch all over the U.S. and they all end it that way -- for any kind of 12-step meeting, if it be N.A. or A.A. or what have you...

The Lord's Prayer doesn't bother me so much as it's more of a self-motivational affirmation than really asking for some omniscient being of all powerfulness to come down and sweep you away to Elizium / Heaven or some rot like that.

Bottoms up, A.A.nons!

The tolerance has built up. Now is when I start to get worried about my liver and internal organs... Brain, kidneys, stomach, intestines.

Zoikes!

I have gotten to the point this past year or so of extreme vomiting but in an hour ...no headache and back to normal.

I've gotten to the point where I've gotta find SOMETHING to replace the satisfaction I get from alcohol. Getting lost in playing music or writing or reading is OK but it just doesn't ... I dunno "cross that line" so to speak.

I'd much rather be on other drugs but unfortunately booze is really the only legal one where I'm at. Weird, these archaic laws of the land.

Yeah, I'm totally with you. I HATE cleaning up when I'm drunk (or anytime, really) so I always choose that route. Prepping doesn't bother me 'cuz you get to be creative but cleaning dishes is the pits because drunk time is supposed to be fun time.

But, yeah... Fried chicken requires too much clean-up. And I'm with you on the safety factor: (meh).

Okay, you got me salivating now. Time for my dinner... Grilled black angus steak and a green salad with all the fixin's. Maybe some sourdough loaf and turn it all into a sandwich.

Being drunk is fun but it can catch up with you in a very bad way. Trust me, I know these things.

Somebody posted this:
>>8207765
I'm halfway through it and WOW! That'll give you a kick in the ass to curb your enthusiasm towards that drug.

My problem has always been the binge thing. I'll go for a long while dry and then get some wild hair up my ass and just go atavistic apeshit with the booze for a few days. After the withdrawal, I never felt the urge (like you say) but after a period of time, it's like, "yeah, I can do this... I can handle it" but end up passed out in my bed at some odd hour of the day. At least I'm in my own bed. Alone. One of the times THAT's a plus.

It's when you get the withdrawals is when you gots to start worryin'. You know, shaking fingers, spasms, etc...

Anxiety is also a post-withdrawals symptom (I'm not sure of the exact expression), they last from a month to a year. That's why it's still easy to fall back during a long time.

I guess so. Never really stuck around for the past ones. I plan on walking a mile and half to get more vodka (I will never drive even tipsy) and then that walk back will equal a three mile walk. OK.

He knows what he's talking about... I remember quitting cold turkey and (completely sober) weeks afterwards I'd be walking to work and just vomit out of nowhere. No heartburn or precursor, whatsoever. Got on anxiety meds and that helped out. After about 2 years got off of them and all is well. But yeah, ...the repercussions last quite a while. Just know that going into drinking excessively.

I plan on doing the same.
I've got two hours to get my nectar to keep it going.
Addiction is a powerful thing.
So here we go again...

"i really don't know what i'm doing here
i really think i should've gone to bed tonight but...
just one drink
and there're some people to meet you
i think that you'll like them
i have to say we do
and i promise in less than an hour we will honestly go
now why don't i just get you another
while you just say hello...

yeah just say hello...

so i'm clutching it tight
another glass in my hand
and my mouth and the smiles
moving up as i stand up
too close and too wide
and the smiles are too bright
and i breathe in too deep
and my head's getting light
but the air is getting heavier and it's closer
and i'm starting to sway
and the hands on all my shoulders don't have names
and they won't go away
so here i go
here i go again...

falling into strangers
and it's only just eleven
ans i'm staring like a child
until someone slips me heaven
and i take it on my knees
just like a thousand times before
and i get transfixed
that fixed
and i'm just looking at the floor
just looking at the floor
yeah i look at the floor"

Thank you. This also happened earlier this year and I chose to go to the hospital because I had no idea what I was in for. I had the IV, Librium etc.

This time I decided to ride it out because fuch hospital bills.
>shaking fingers, spasms

Nah m8, my whole body start writhing in different intervals and I felt like I had a 20lb dumbbell sitting on my chest. I almost wanted to die it was such hell. To get through it I drank a shit ton of water to flush the toxins and fruit juice for the sugar. I'm never doing that shit again.

walmart 88 cent sleep aid bro, I always have some on hand

I relapsed guys. I was clinically depressed for a while after my fiancee cheated on me and got through the days by drinking a 26 of vodka paired with sleeping pills throughout the day. Took anywhere from 8 - 12 pills a day with the alcohol to make the effect of the pills + alcohol more intense. Got addicted to them hugely. But something changed (I forget what I did) and I had been clean for months.

Met a girl during my Ph. D studies and I really thought she was the one. I thought I was going to marry her. We dated for a couple months and I found out she cheated on me. I can't take it boys. Didn't sleep for two full days, pulled the trigger and bought sleeping pills and another 26 of vodka.

Feeling OK now, obviously because the effects of the alcohol and pills together, but I know I can't continue like this.

I failed boys. I failed. I relapsed and now I'm taking them again and pissing away money and losing my appetite daily. I eat a maximum of one meal per day. I don't know what to do.

Finished working an 11 hour saturday. Sippin on dat rum and playing overwatch.

Stop relying on others for your happiness. Find a reason to like yourself.

I'm 6"3 340, is a 750ml bottle of 80 proof that bad? I can kill a 1.75 in two sittings but I promised my girl that'd this would be the extent of it. One bottle, one night, per week.

I'm sure I know the answer but man. That boredom hits.

I like to drink. Specifically, I like the alcohol taste. :Long after Ive reached "ideal drunkeness", I still wantto drink, not to gr more drunk, but because I want something to sip on. The problem? I drink more alcohol, get overly drunk, and possibly pass out. What do anyone here who has a similar problem do to counter this? Im hoping for something to limit the amount of actual alcohol i drink while not diluting it down so i dont taste the "burn"

You know whats great? having a good cry. Sometimes it just builds inside you and you just have to let it out. I just cried my eyes out for like 10 minutes and now I feel like smiling. Its like cumming after not jerking off for 3 days

>>8211329
this guy is right. I've quit for months, MONTHS, and still when the weekend came around I was like shit I wish I could drink. fucking sucks. We as a whole are just naturally attracted to this substance as soon as we put it in our body.

This thing you are experiencing is called addiction. So yes, we are several with a similar problem.
If you can't control yourself when tipsy, the solution is to not get tipsy.
Abstinence sucks, it sucks hard, but it's the only working solution for most alcoholics.

What have people here had success with replacing alcohol? I drink in the evenings mainly because it is fun / tastes nice / I am bored. Intake has gone way up and I want to go back to weekends only, but I am bored as fuck in the evening.

Went out and bought a bunch of weird teas for the hell of it just for something to sip on, thinking a bunch of new games too as that could be distracting.

Anyway, the bartender mixed me sparkling water and Angostura bitters. Shit was so cash. Now when my friends wanna catch up and their all having stuff like gin & tonics that's my go-to: bitters and carbonated water. You kinda still get that alcohol taste...

This has been my strategy for the past few months. Not working perfectly, but it's better than a glass or three of Jim Beam when I'm thirsty. I've found that those girly La Croix sparkling waters are enjoyable enough to sip on, and now that it's getting colder, hot tea is nice as well.

If you can handle it, I've also picked up some six packs of pungent beer. IPA, ridiculous coffee stouts, anything that's borderline un-slammable. Sip on one or two of those to quench the thirst. Two steps forward, one step back.

Dehydration, toxins and byproducts (cogeners, tannins and other products of fermentation), histamines, vasoconstriction, electrolyte imbalance...who knows what mix is going on in your body? It could even be that your body is pre diabetic or otherwise struggling to rid your body of toxins at a decent rate through damage you have to your organs, or food sensitivites, or gut damage.

Just a quick update..

So I went to my first meeting today. It was only a small group, 7 dudes and a chick. Everyone was really friendly and there was no religious stuff at all. As I was a noob, everyone told me their stories, all of which were grim as fuck. I told them mine which seemed kindergarten in comparison but at the end of the day, I have a problem and I'm doing something about it.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.

Nine month sober and clean next week. Still checking out alck threads sometimes, feels weird. Like i kinda miss being this filthy worthless piece of shit sometimes. But thats bullshit. When i think how i went through detox, rehab, supportgroups, therapy and all that. It's a wonder i'm still alive. Sometimes i enjoy live. Sometimes i don't, especially when i feel the pointlessness in everything. That's when all the reason why i started doing drugs pop straight back in to my mind and i think 'what the fuck am i doing here? I'm not addicted, the world is shit, i am shit, i can't controll what's happening. The only thing i can controll is my perception of reality. Altering brainchemistry by comsuming substances is perfectly legit for dealing with this. I could take a substance right now and i would not have to feel any of this. Why not?'

Hey, thanks for the acknowledgment. At first, I was kinda weirded out and nervous going to meetings out of the blue but everybody's there for the same reason and it does help to feel less alienated. The meetings I go to have a surprisingly small amount of religion (from what I thought it was going to be). That's just a line from the steps, really, as the founders were religious; you're more apt to hear, "You a friend of Bob?" more than "Are you a friend of Jesus?" and the idea is to give up the notion that you can control everything.

Yeah, the older folks tend to have some pretty harrowing tales.
I am starting to see more young folks that are getting help sooner than the rest of the group did.
Whether that's court ordered or not, I don't really pay attention.

> …still miss dipping tobacco and listening to music while near blackout drunk, not gonna lie.

Good luck, man.
Believe it or not, 4chan helped me get through a lot of the initial cravings by simply be distracting enough for an hour or so until the urge passed.

I really think I need to figure out why I drink so much. I know I shouldn't drink so much, but I'm not really sure why I do it. It might just be that it feels good.

Sup alcoholics,

I've been invited to a party for the first time in 2 or 3 months and I want to bring a bottle of liquor or some shit to share. I'm too autistic to know what to bring and I'm trying to hit it off with these hoes so I can get some s u c c

Last night was the first night I haven't had a drink in well over a year. I ranged from a few beers a night to a bottle of spirit a night in that time, mostly around half a bottle a night or a couple of bottles of wine.

I feel surprisingly good today, didn't have to get up in the middle of the night for a piss which was new.

Wonder how long I can keep this up. I am aiming for a few drinks on the weekends only and dry during the week

Hey man chin up and there is a life outside of chasing booze bro. Life wasnt ever meant to be black and white, happy or sad. It was meant to be weird greys and white with pink hues. We are aupposed to be awkward and goofy. Have terribly timr responses and shifty eye contact. Time is measured in seconds but it can measured in the lessons we learned and the sacrifices we make for a better tomorrow. One year was oct 10th 2015 -oct 10th 2016. I cant tell you how green the grass is on this side.

It's 2:00 am and I'm vacation with beer for 4 days. It's boring, but at on the bright side, I've been able to enjoy my vacation from work.

lads :(

I was supposed to quit today but I bought a bottle of Wild Turkey right after work. Was drinking it really slowly and just ate a huge feast of burritos leftovers and stomach is full as fuck now. Don't feel like drinking any more. Filling stomach the brim seems to be the key to making me not want to drink any more. I'm going to finish off the bottle tomorrow night along with a massive feast to check me out.

What do I get?

Thinking about Chinese takeout or I might make fried chicken with mash and gravy.

Honestly man, it's for the best if you and her go separate ways. Unless you want to have kids and get married and shit, what's the point of even being serious with a person? And this is general advice which applies to both sexes. Commitment is almost unrealistic nowadays. Just find a friend with benefits. There is nothing wrong with just having someone you can enjoy the company of and getting in bed once in a while. It's much less stressful than a serious relationship.

Nah. As alcoholics we don't care about health.

Recovery went well this weekend.

Only got drunk once and it was only an 8 rack of Guinness tall boys.

My shits look normal and I don't go numb randomly as much lately.

I have $5 what can i buy to get me shitfaced. 3 year relationship down the shithole, been about a month but I get dream of her once in a blue moon which i hate.

>>8215440
Takes twice as long as you were together to get over it, unless you're raking in the tail.

>>8215440

Depends where you are from. You can probably find some very shit quality cheap vodka or wine

>>8215440
What happened?

>tfw teeth sensitive as fuck after drinking

fug

>>8215440
You should be able to get a smallie of vodka for $5, which if you chug should get you nice and wasted.
Otherwise you could get two 40oz's

>>8215509
What are you drinking that causes that? I'm a vodka drinker so it doesn't do that to me. I suppose if you drank primarily carbonated shit I can see that.

>>8215412
>I don't go numb randomly as much lately

That was the wake up call for me, was scared shitless when my pinkie and ring figures would go numb and my legs felt like I had pins and needles.

had to quit after that, hasn't happened again thankfully

>>8215508

Kissed a guy I had suspicion about from the beginning. Cried to me saying dont think of it like that. Gave her another chance and all i asked was for her to never talk to him. She secretly texted him when her car started having problems. She then said i was being way too hot headed. That was enough for me to break it off. She textes me periodically but i reply like i dont give a shit when i do in the back of my head. Now im drinking

>>8215659

Relationships aren't worth the stress dude. Plus it's hard to trust women in this day and age especially with the values most of them in Western nations have. It's an incredibly vapid and materialistic culture and it is reflected in its population.

>>8215608

vodka/coke mixers

or rum/coke

guess i need to remove the coke and replace it with something else

>>8215659

You are letting her win.

Cuck

>>8215659
Goddamn, what the fuck. It pisses me off when the person who's cheating tries to play the victim and then even tries to make you out to be the bad guy. You were smart for ending it. Yeah, it hurts like hell now, but that kind of relationship is just toxic as shit.

>>8215680
You know, you can blame it on women all you like, but I've met my fair share of guys who've done similar shit as well as women.

People in general are just shit anymore. Dating these days is just fucking empty and people give up and move on from person to person like it doesn't even matter that you're dealing with a human beings life anymore.

>>8215698

I don't blame all women. I said it is reflected " in its population" not just females. I completely acknowledge there are guys who do the equivalent as well. That's why I say relationships are not worth the stress.

>>8215690
how?

Got a 26er of Jameson lads

>>8215776
He's retarded. Letting her win would be staying with her and prolonging the inevitable. Putting an end to her stupid games and bullshit was the right decision.

>>8213927
bro if you drank 1.5 liters and that doesnt stop the withdrawls you need to go to a hospital and start tapering soon. Seriously, that's getting a little bit too close to death for comfort.

>>8215939
You should read through the thread. He's been posting about that all week. It's pretty disconcerting.

>>8215947
I've in here since the start, if at first you don't succeed, try try again.

>>8215930

He is drinking himself to death over her and you think he has the upper hand?

I never implied that he should stay with her but he is allowing her to put him down even when he thinks he is not involved. He shouldnt even be speaking to her.

>>8215974
it sounds like he pretty much tells her to fuck off.

I don't know why youd expect him to be over a girlfriend of multiple years in just a month. Have you ever had that long of a relationship? are you a sociopath?

This stage of grief is pretty common

perfectly summed up in The Little Prince:

“Why are you drinking? - the little prince asked.
- In order to forget - replied the drunkard.
- To forget what? - inquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him.
- To forget that I am ashamed - the drunkard confessed, hanging his head.
- Ashamed of what? - asked the little prince who wanted to help him.
- Ashamed of drinking! - concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence.
And the little prince went away, puzzled.
'Grown-ups really are very, very odd', he said to himself as he continued his journey.”

The dreams I have when I quit drinking are so disgusting it almost makes me ashamed at my brain for even making up stuff like that.

Anyone else ever had this? The worst part is how vivid they are.

>>8216227
It doesn't happen so much anymore as I spend long and longer in between benders (used to drink every day for years and years), but back when I was drinking insanely ducking heavily I would get the most vivid nightmares where I would somehow die or be murdered by the end of them. I'd wake up multiple times covered in sweat, and then go back to the same nightmare every time.

It got to a point where I was terrified to even go to sleep the nights I would be sober. Nowadays I don't really remember my dreams much and if I do they're usually mellow or those annoying dreams where you're back in school. I'm okay with that.

It almost saddens me but has anyone noticed the majority of alck are non college educated gritty dudes with facial hair. We are one.

>>8211237
How the fuck do you drink that much?

Even the guy in the rotten hip documentary was drinking less than that.

Finding out that I can buy alcohol off amazon is one of the best discoveries of my life.

>>8216359

>>8216416
You would like me to link you to one of the most popular sites in the world?

>>8216418
No, what's the best price:ABV alcohol to buy? I see some wines, but they look overpriced.

>>8216428
Just have a look for vodka or whatever your favorite liquor is. Price will change depending on where you are.

>>8216443
>"Alcoholic beverages are not listed on Amazon (except for wine & beer)."

Not offered in the US?

>>8213443

Ah, that's unfortunate. I live in the UK so it must be different.

Dum dum pops and little helicopter beanies.

Honestly though, shit is tasty. It goes well with more Bird Dog. One of my first cocktails was that and Blue Raz Kool Aid, very popular with the 17 year old set.

I drink to get drunk but I don't drink liquor because I get either violent or blackout drunk. Also taste doesn't matter to me as long as I can get drunk. Yet this opinion constantly gets me shat on by other anons. Why is that?

>>8216932
Because non-alcoholics don't get it. Don't even try to explain it to them.

I really fucked up this weekend

Went up to where i went to college (dropped out cause i couldn't handle drinking, surprise) and made a total asshole out of myself. Inappropriate racist jokes, making people uncomfortable. I'd say i burned some bridges but i don't remember shit. Before that i was sober for 60 days. Told myself i wasn't going to drink today but polished off two bottles of wine. Now I've got a test in the morning but i'm not going to be able to sleep. This sucks because you can't be mad at anybody but yourself for putting yourself in these awful situations that would have never happened if you just don't fucking drink. I'm so anxious right now. I think i'm going to see a therapist.

/rant

>>8216953
It just boggles my mind. I can drink 211 all day if I have it or whatever microbrew my brothers hipster friends leaves over after getting "totally wasted xD" after 2 bottles. I literally do not care what it is. But saying stuff like this on /int/ or /sp/ gets the autists raging.

>>8216975
They're not autists they are normal drinkers. We are junkies that want a fix no matter what it is. The only thing i will not drink is rubbing alcohol because my body rejects it. I got drunk off it like twice and now i can't even smell it without gagging.

>>8207371
/mu/tant here. We are lady-bois

>>8216965
If I were you, and I'm not so you probably shouldn't listen to me, I would just drink more until I was able to sleep. But I also don't get hangovers, so I'd be fine in the morning.

I've been trying for 15 FUCKING MINUTES to get this bottle open so I can finish the last of my cognac. Tried wrapping the cap with a towel for extra leverage, tried using hot water to enlarge it sdfsdhjfjsdf. About ready to smash it open.

>>8216975
They're just children. I really like the way a lot of alcohol tastes, and a lot of it is kind of mediocre, but I can certainly understand just drinking whatever for the feeling, and I'd just drink whatever was around if I just wanted a buzz.

nigga if you smash it open you'll get glass in the cognac dont do that

>>8216991
i would but i don't have any alcohol. i live with my parents and if i leave they'll know exactly what im doing and send me to rehab. they have whiskey hidden somewhere in this house but i can't find it. also can't be too loud looking for it because once again they'd know exactly what i'm doing

>>8216996
Why the hell is it on there so tight?

>>8216983
That's harsh. But can't say I haven't thought about it. Fortunately I'm currently NEETING it up so I only get to drink every weekend or so. But I fear once I get this job that'll change.

lost my debit xard. had to ask shop to lend me a bottle of vodka. i'm so humiliated.
going cold turkey. FUCK this. if i can't manage i suppose i'll just go to hospital and munch delicious benzos. while hittting on young nurses.
oh, also, can someone kill me please? thanks all.

atty foods and sugars. preerably fructose. holy shit they help. just had a gammon steak with some cheese, then some honeycomb. oh wow i feel so much more relaxed. try it guys

Mother went to rehab. The full 30 days, after a 7 days treatment in another facility. She was doing so well, I met with her psychologist and we agreed to make this an alcohol-free house. On the second day back I came home to find her drunk again. We have tried everything and it still doesn't work, she has no more money and she still spends it all on beer. I don't know what to do anymore, she's the strongest person I know and this shit is killing her.

>>8217081
I'm sorry to hear that, anon, but I'm afraid most of us are in no better position to give much useful advice. It really boils down to the person in question, their willpower and how badly they want to stop.

So al/ck/ gen, just how badly has alcohol abuse affected your appearance?

>>8217259
Pretty bad.I gain a lot of weight due to all the drinking and eating junk food.

Have you guys ever been arrested due to your drinking? Got picked up for public intox recently and just feel like it's not gonna be the only time. I used to be able to handle myself so well.

>>8217286
No, never. I only drink at home alone.

Recently got into peaty Islay single malts. Drinking Caol Ila 12, Ardbeg 10, Bowmore 12 and the Lagavulin 16. Great stuff!

Drank half a bottle of Rum 1/2 bottle of tequila. accepted that no one will care about me, night lads, hope you do better

>>8217286
