What's /ck/ without al/ck/? You guys are what's keeping

FUCK

I can't say I've been sober for any decent amount of time, and I'm drinking as I write this. But lately I've been able to sort of tone it down a bit. Haven't been black-out drunk in a while (though I black out quite easily) and keeping my drinking limited to nights and evenings. So that's that, I guess.

6:21 am on Saturday here.

Still drinking and have been since like 3pm on Friday.

Lately I've been blacking out when I drink this much but presently just cruising along and not remotely tired.

I've got about a bottle of Turkey left after 2 bottles in the last like 24 hours.

I am quitting come Monday. Bonafide serious.

I can't eat unless I'm drunk.
It's nice because I get drunk quicker on an empty stomach but I know I'm malnourished as fuck. My hair is falling out like crazy.

>>8813052
>but I know I'm malnourished as fuck. My hair is falling out like crazy.

Same. It's amazing how much thicker and fuller my hair seemingly feels after just like three weeks of sobriety.

Been a while since I've gone that long though.

Have you guys experienced any serious health consequences yet?

>>8813134
I have scarring on my liver


The last time I went to a doctor was 4 years ago and he said "It's really bad, You need to quit drinking". I haven't been to a doctor since, So I'm guessing It's pretty bad now.

It hurts my right side, towards my back every morning I wake up. So I'm guessing something back there is starting to fail too


I'll probably be dead by 40.

>>8812956
Made moonshine with pineapples, got reaaaaal dickered last night

whats the point of these threads?
stay sober?
start drinking again?
do you guys promote one or the other?

>Wisdom teeth out this morning
>Craving a drink
>Throwing by vicodin for the pain
>Doc said I can't drink

What the fuck do I do?

Can I actually not drink or is just saying I shouldn't get like drunk on these

>>8813218
You can.


That enhances the vicodin buzz nicely

>>8813192
Lol

>>8812956
it's the first thing I think about when I wake up, wondering if I should do it again. If I make it past 11PM when my place closes, then I'm fine all night, don't think about it again until they open up.

>>8813218
>Mixing alcohol and painkillers
Never a good idea.

>>8812956

Keep it up anon. I'm a month sober on Sunday. It sure is hard, but I'm down 20 lbs with the help of a diet and feeling healthier in general.

>>8813218
how many did you take? the acetaminophen in it plus booze WILL kill you if you took more than two pills and even then you shouldn't get hammered

>>8813321
You have to take like 8 grams of APAP for it to be MAYBE to be fatal 24 months later. There isn't even 3 grams in that whole bottle I bet

That's not what kills people when they combine alcohol and hydrocodone. It's CNS depression and even that is almost unheard of with hydrocodone. You will get itchy as fuck and fall asleep long before you die of CNS depression

bunch of faggots

>>8813325
m8 the problem is not the hydrocodone, its the APAP, and combined with alcohol drastically reduces the threshold for permanent liver damage

and where are you getting 8g? 4 is enough WITHOUT booze

>>8813217
From what I've seen, it's something of a clusterfuck of different things. Here are the main ones.
>people generally talking about what they are drinking and how they are doing
>alcoholics talking of their woes and health problems
>advice from alcoholics in recovery
>new alcoholics who are scared and ask for advice on how to deal with withdrawal or cut down their drinking
>people who hardly drink but think they might be alcoholic or at risk
>competitive people who boast and argue about how much they drink
>pot smokers who bash alcohol
>people who like to laugh about how degenerate they think al/ck/ threads are, and troll

You guys have your own thread yet you constantly have to shitpost your drinking habits in other threads. Bunch of faggots but at least you're not stoners.

I don't even really want to drink this evening, but I'm bored and feel compelled to go get some beer. Not really sure what to do.

Welp, been counting, that makes 47 times that I've vomited between 5.20am and 11pm today. I'm just going to starve to death if the booze doesn't get me.

>>8813397
How much did you drink for your body to need to vomit that much?

>>8813411
It's almost entirely dry heaving, but I can't take so much as a sip of water without throwing up at least twice as much immediately thereafter. I'm so fucking thirsty, 4 days since I drank anything but alcohol and kept it in for more than like 10 minutes.
Owie.

>>8813263
Aw yeah fuck yeah, found a $5 in my pocket. Getting drunk again.

>>8813363
>4 is enough WITHOUT booze
I took 12g a few years back and I'm still kicking.
Or maybe I'm in hell, which would explain a lot.

hurray for friday day drinking!

Getting sucked back into it. Went 102 days at the end of 2016, then 82 at the start of this year. Had 7 bottles since then though.

I'm too obese to drink. I'm legit going to die if I don't stop and/or lose weight. My drinking wouldn't be an issue otherwise. If I were 200 pounds lighter I'd have no concerns.

>>8813547
>>8813748
>taking a shot RIGHT NOW while filling out a captcha
feels good.

I've taken it down to once per week and drinking beer. It's almost not even worth the effort to get drunk enough to enjoy it and I actually had a hangover for the first time in a while

>>8813825
I dont even understand how people get drunk off beer. Its probably just my tolerance but after a few I feel nothing but bloated and have to piss every 10 minutes

I don't know if it has been 3 or 4 weeks since I've last drank.

Being sober sucks.

I can't take much more of this. A 4-5 days off booze and using medication to stop withdrawals and I've never been more depressed in my life. This medication does one thing and one thing only, and that's to stop withdrawals. Other than that, it just makes me drowsy, sleep or feel like a fucking zombie. It's only enhancing the depression not drinking gives you and makes me feel like doing nothing.

It doesn't help that I'm alone as fuck with no friends or family around.

Fuck it. How safe is it to drink again after taking 0.1mg of Clonidine 5 hours ago?

>>8813834
I can get drunk if I just steady pound coors light. These days I drink craft beers with at least 7% but it's still a ton of work to get good and drunk

sober 6 months after being taken to the ER and then psych ward

feels boring...? nice not to be hungover in the morning and nice not to be so suicidally anxious/depressed when coming off the booze

but it's still boring

this is like my third go-round, i had two non-consecutive sober years before and then relapsed HARD around the one year mark

i said goodbye to my grandpa today, he's in the hospital and his heart is failing, its a matter of hours apparently. wasn't gonna drink tonight but i got some beer on the way home, fuck it

>>8813908
I'm sorry for you loss, anon. I'll have a drink for you and your 'pa.

>>8813908
Sucks man, sorry. People will probably scold you for not staying with him in his final hours but I was with my grandmother when she passed and it is not an experience I would wish on anyone, its extremely haunting.

>>8813858 here. Clonidine. Go get prescribed some. Believe me, it knocks you the fuck out. I was at the hospital because my withdrawals got so bad and they prescribed me that shit.

Watching Portlandia idk

>>8814104

Just stay awake for a few days until you begin having hallucinations and delusions. Eventually you'll have a deep sleep and feel fine.

>>8814112

Wouldn't know how to get it

>>8814144

I can't do fucking anything, all motivation to do anything is lost, I don't feel like doing shit, sleep would fix it but I can't even do that fuck

>>8814126
are you from portland?

>>8813192
This makes me sad. Won't ur people be sad

>>8814156

Idk I just mess around on my PC. Just find a way to distract yourself. Like 4chan

>>8814156
do you exercise? try exercising before bed until you tire yourself out
also read a book or something instead of looking at the computer or TV. screens give off light that kills melatonin

Finally got to the stage where I am a bottle deep and don't feel drunk, and my sober thoughts of "stop this madness" are still prevalent.

Think it is time to quit. This isn't fun any more

So that was the worst bender in my life.
First few days were fine but yesterday I didn't have anything to eat and was constantly drunk to the point of passing out. Passed out, woke up, drank more and passed out again. In bed with the "bag" from the bag-in-box-wine with me and vodka on the nightstand. It's morning now and I stated drinking the last wine but went to the bathroom and stood on my knees and puked and thought "What am I doing with my life?".
Got a knife and destroyed the bag of wine and poured it down the drain, never poured out alcohol before.
This just has to stop, will make an honest try.

>>8814597
the key to binging correctly is to eat and drink water
if you don't do that you're completely fucked whenever you stop drinking. You're probably not going to want to eat anything for a couple days more, i've been there before, but you gotta just shove that food down

>>8814597
i poured out alcohol for the first time in my life 3 weeks ago and havent drank since

>>8813218
The typical prescription vicodin goes fucking awesome with a six pack, anon.

-t. guy who broke his arm last year

I was really fucking skeptical, and started with one beer the first night I tried both, and slowly tested the waters from there. A sixer of mickeys and a vicodin will be the nicest feel you'll ever have.

>>8814640
Yeah I know, but being that drunk don't really make you think ahead. And my body feel bad in a way it hasn't before, but it could have been even worse. But I'm really gonna try to not drink alone for a while.

Just walking around and cleaning everything I can, that way I can distract myself and feel like less shit.

>>8814646
That's encouraging, thanks.

>>8814104
I know that feel. Melatonin does me nicely.

Or waking up early with a monster fucking hangover the morning of and not sleeping.

Had two tallboys at a bonfire, and putting back a couple glasses of whiskey tonight. I promised my mom I'd get up early tomorrow and be over at their house. She had a rant and rave talk, with much of it focused on my drinking last week, so I gotta hold to it.

Question for you veterans here.

Anyone here had/drink calvados, and if so, what's your preferred brand? I'm trying to expand my prospects without breaking the bank. Been wanting to try it for a while.

>>8814664
Never heard of this before, but it sounds delicious.

I need to ship in some real Czech absinthe now that I'm working again.

So what do you guys drink and how long does a bottle of it last for you?

>>8814699
I drink shitty vodka, the bottom shelf shit that you can buy for about 13 bucks a handle. handle usually can last me about 4 days

>>8814699
I drink a cheap beer only in my local area, and Old Crow whiskey. A handle normally gets me a weekish.

That's it, I give up trying to brush my teeth. I drink carbonated, acidic-as-fuck cider, can practically feel my teeth rotting out of my face, so I try to brush them... and immediately throw up, every time, thereby covering my teeth in a mixture of cider and stomach acid.

We would probably have a constant draw going on for who would buy the alcohol for the week
the nights would be late, the mornings would be early and terrible, we'd have numerous cooks in the house so breakfast wouldn't be a problem
Dinners would also be great, we'd probably have a giant table that eveyrone could fit in like one of those medieval long tables, thered be like 4 people always at the stove making sure the shit we make comes out awesome
and then we would all die because our livers failed

Started drinking daily when I was 15. Always out-drank my peers. My Doc believes that I have a pathogenic micro-organism, immune to antibiotics, which has been excreting small amounts of alcohol into my intestine for life. So it's possible that I've never been totally sober.
9.40am now, have drunk ~3/4 of a (70cl) bottle of vodka since 6am when I woke, withdrawing. 20 mins until I can buy more.

Honestly depends on the situation. Are you in withdrawal, or very drunk on a bender, or what? I always wake up on time but if you don't set a hallelujah chorus of alarms, chug water, pass out, wake up, drink a beer or two (or whatever) to negate the hangover, bring a few to work and coast from there. If it's withdrawals like seizures yeah call in sick (you are) but if it's normal withdrawals just suffer you deserve it :^)

At least that's what I did

>>8815100
Kek you are 'that guy'. Learn to control yourself

I got banned from my local paki shop during my drunken 5am pilgrimage for snacks when I fell into a display, then fell forward into another one getting up. Burst out laughing as he yelled at me in paki, still tried to buy shit but he wasn't having any of it. Pretty sure I yelled something racist at him on the way out.

Not my proudest moment.

Hi, not alcoholic, I drink a few beers on weekends but I am looking for the sierra leon whiskey that always makes me laugh. There is a black horse on the label and the liquid is in a gas canister.

>>8815430
Protip, don't cover both of your ears when you sleep, you're almost guaranteed to sweat.
It's not uncommon for alcohol to come into play here either, but that's how I finally figured out why I was pouring sweat every night.

Thanks for the link.

Just hit 4 months sober yesterday. Feels pretty good man, but I still have dreams about drinking or falling off the wagon nearly every night. I know it's probably inevitable that I'll start drinking again, but so far I'm doing pretty well. This is the longest I've gone without drinking since my balls dropped

>>8815736

Nice, most I've done since god knows when is 40 days. It's crazy how after a bit you feel normal again. But everything is so damn boring. Keep it up anon.

>>8815848

She drinks, she's just not a "drinker". She doesn't have a few drinks after work every night. Mostly just a weekend drinker.

But her family, man, I don't know.

Started working at the my state liquor warehouse recently, every time an order calls for 20-30 cases of Black Velvet gallons or something equally shitty, my heart goes to al/ck/ a bit.

I don't drink much. But I'm all alone with nothing to do on a saturday. I'm outta work, 31, my car is another state after a failed business venture. I had to move back home with my parents while I get back on my feet. I was feeling like utter shit, real dark thoughts.

I'm drinking some rum..

Guys I'm really drunk but it's giving me a lot of clarity but I don't know if it's a good thing because the clarity is that I hate everything around me and everything about myself to an extreme extend. Really feel like jumping out the window ngl

>>8816678
Let me ask you this, what do you like about your self?

I really hate everything about me. I'm actually straight up disgusted. Everything I hold dear and find virtuous in life is an anti thesis of myself. I feel like I can't seek refuge in anything

>>8816698
Were all fucked bro, life seems to be like a roller coaster. Up and down. But life is pretty good when it's good. And you can't really appreciate the sweet without the sour..

The suicidal thoughts we could all live without, It really makes me jealous of people who don't have those thoughts.

But if you did want to turn it around, what would be the first step in achieving that? Do you have any goals?

>>8816713
>But life is pretty good when it's good.
See, it's never good. I can honestly not think of a single victory in my adult or adolecent life (and as a child, reading and learning math is all that comes to mind).
I don't know what would make my life better. I have no skills, being around other people is tremendously depressing, i just don't know.

Wanna say this. I'm a guy who was good at pretty much anything in school except for math which I literally got F's in. Even in college. It took me 2 years to pass the required math course that most people do in a single semester before they never have to take math again if they don't want to.
If you're a male who's good with numbers, hope exists for you, it's true.
The industry I got my degree in is nothing but lying and agendas now, I really don't want to use it because of how shit it is. People like me probably should have gone to a trade school but my boomer parents and I fell for the uni meme because I just wanted to please them while not becoming a teacher because I never wanted to set foot in a school ever again. It's just a huge money sink in most cases, but at least I have no debt which makes me absurdly lucky. Trying to get a warehouse job atm.
Rambling, but thanks anyway.

You misunderstood. I'm not good at math. It was fir full disclosure. I'm saying that I have literally accomplished nothing in my life except elementary school math and basic literacy

I'm working in abroad in a third world country with lots of tourism where alcohol is super cheap and partie and girls are everywhere. I feel like slowly an addiction is starting to sneak into my life. Almost everyday after work I go for a beer but it never stays one, I always get myself smashed til the end. Also people at work start to ask me if I've been drinking last night and call me hangover-face...

It also makes me smoke a whole pack of cigs which I regret every single time.

I tell myself I need to get drunk to talk to girls but almost always end up being so drunk that I can't talk to girls again or if I do I make a fool out of myself.

I despised this lifestyle and still think that most of the party-people are superficial scumbags.

but in the end it's the only way to get girls without much money, those nights have poisened and I feel like I'm missing out when I'm not drunk which is totally retarded.

Back home I used to smoke weed alone, it kept me from drinking but also from going outside, I can stay inside for more than half a year (meaning I stay at home at night and weekends) and don't feel isolated. but man do I feel lonely sometimes.

problem is the farther I take this less normal woman will be interested in me and I have to resort to a freak-,druggie- or psycho girl which I really don't need in my life but it's better than being alone.

>>8816839
I was able to have a job in a grocery for a time, but had to quit before I got fired because I was so alcohol. I'm pretty sure it's the easiest job there is to get, because I went in with no experience and not having worked for 2 years. Being a clerk who doesn't have to work registers is pretty fine, it's better than working in a gas station or fast food or something.

Might just be me. But when I hang out with people no matter how good a time I had in the moment I always feel intense dislike and isolation at the end of the night when we separate. I don't even know if it's alc related since I'm always drunk during social gatherings

>>8816876
It sounds like to me you just simply don't like the people you hang around, or that the interactions they have is too superficial or something. I don't know, just taking a guess.

8 days sober here.

February was bad - nearly a pint of whiskey a night and a six pack... blacking out no less than twice a week.

"eased down" through march, tried to get my shit together. Stopped cold last week after an easy night (<5 drinks).

Probably the most difficult thing I have done in a while. Pangs are going away, I have a steady and good job, a pet to watch, and things to do besides drink. It also helps I do not mind being alone and I have friends to talk to when its tough.

I actually like being sober. Within 4-5 days your senses start coming back and you start thinking straight. Right now I am at a 'moderate' zone where I can start feeling some of my old self (and stable personality) coming back. I have been more productive this week than the past couple of months.

Good luck bros, I think I am going to make it. Alcohol is truly a scourge. If you are serious about quitting here are a couple of suggestions: (1) have a couple of friends that are willing to talk to you on a whim when you need it. Sometimes you need to reach out. If you have no friends, start going to church or leaving the house and start making friends; (2) pick up an activity that is worth it. I read a lot. I also play video games. I have a decent job and I exercise; (3) have an "out" if you have irresistible cravings. For me, it's driving for a little bit and getting some ice cream. Eating a fuck ton of sugar/cream reduces my urges, for some reason.

this. Addictive personalities are a very real thing and are ingrained into our DNA. Half of my family are pill poppers and i've lost a lot of relatives to OD. I already have a problem with drinking so i've refused to get prescribed any kinds of pills, a couple years ago my doctor wanted to give me xanax for my anxiety but I refused

There are a few genes related to addiction, but it's not a single ON/OFF gene.

Tell her you can be here for her when she wants to stop (you're an addict too after all, you know how it works) but don't push her to stop.

>>8816884
You're doing good so far, congratulation.
There is a point where you'll feel so great and confident you'll feel like you can have a drink and not relapse. You'll most likely be wrong.
Also you're kind of an ass with your tips. If it was this easy for me making friends, I wouldn't have no friends. But my brain is somehow wired in a way that make it hard to "go out and make friends".

>>8818341
Man, I make it a thing to not drink and drive.
Cops still found me waiting for my designated driver, arrested me, and sent me to jail.
I pleaded I purposely didn't drive and was getting a ride home.

NOPE.

After jail, they took my money and phone.
Fucking criminals.
Cops are worse than actual fugitives.
You know how long it took me to get home?
12 hours walking down the highway.
And you know what?
A random civilian picked me up, bought me a phone, and brought me home.

There's good in people, not Cops.

>>8818341
I have a vague memory of being taken home by the cops while blacked out stumbling around town. But I live in a small town full of drunk drivers and I don't think they ever hassle anybody that's just drunk in public.

Somehow I managed to fill the weekend with meaningful sober interactions with other people, feels weird.

>>8818394
i can relate to you quite a bit, anon. i am still going through all of the bullshit with my 2nd dui. i'm going to have to agree with you that in certain periods of my life i have looked at cops with extreme distaste. i'll never forget seeing the body cam of the cop who arrested me for my 2nd. it was degrading. they talked shit straight to my face and maybe even would have bullied me a bit if i had not been too drunk to hold a conversation. (i know you may have not been this drunk during your dui arrest, everyones case differs) this is not me sticking up for cops, it is just me telling what i have discovered
Anyways... looking back on both situations 1 year sober (perhaps due to probation, although i have had several slip ups), i can see that cops have a job too, and they see people driving drunk as a gold mine. they are aware society looks down heavily upon this, and maybe they take advantage of it. but i see it as a broker taking advantage of stocks or a teacher taking advantage of smart students to make them look better. they aren't doing anything wrong. i'll cut this post short because i think i may be bullshitting, but you al/ck/s can feel free to argue with me. arguing makes my miserable self feel a bit better

>>8818426
But I wasn't driving.
My ride was coming, and she got pissed because I never answered her.
I WAS IN JAIL, FOR NOTHING.
I wasn't hurting anyone.

Cops come and say I'm publicity intoxicated.
Why is it I'm doing the right thing and taking of myself I get punished

The cops in my town will stop anyone for anything late at night, even if you aren't doing anything remotely suspicious (apparently being awake at night is suspicious in my old-ass, white bread, deeply Christian and racist town). I can't tell you how many times I've just gone out to my car to grab my phone charger or something, only to be stopped and questioned by the cops, in my own fucking car, at the parking lot of the address where I live AND IT'S ON MY FUCKING DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THE PIG STILL PRETENDS LIKE MY STORY IS SUSPICIOUS. I have never heard of anyone's car being stolen from the lots in this area. I think they're really desperate to catch me with drugs or something.

One time I was riding a bicycle back from the bar (because fuck drinking and driving) and some asshole almost hits me coming out of a parking lot on his cell phone not paying attention. I chew him out and he calls me a fucking hippie (because no one rides bikes in this town either) and calls the cops on me. Sure enough, a few minutes later the police roll up and arrest me for public intoxication.

>>8818341
I used to sit in my car in the parking lot after work drinking beer before going into my place so I could relax an enjoy the night sky while listening to the radio. I wouldn't think about doing anything like that today. One-way ticket to DUIville.

I kind of thought I would rebuild my life with her, she seemed really good at the time and I could see myself going for the long haul with her. It, um, didn't end up working out. Now I can drink PBR whenever I want. Joy.

Try going to Youtube and just look through all peoples stories "Alcohol abuse/addiction/problems", lots of videos with barley any views.

Some of them are famous, some a bit funnier but I like the ones about everyday people more because they are easier to relate to. Most are fairly long because you get their life and how it happened from light addiction to life destruction. Some have God some not, I don't find it important but the first one do.


They are roughly ordered top to bottom.

Other patients were depressed or had tried killing themselves, but there wasn't any big cases. It was annoying because we couldn't keep any string or wire during the night, so no earplugs nor laptop charger, but we could have them during the day.

anyone beat depression / anxiety after quitting drinking? how long did it take? also how long did you drink?

im about 2 months even since my last drink and still really depressed. im also overweight by about 40-50 pounds and wondering if that might be contributing. i do notice i sleep much better on days i do a lot of weights, but with that its like I have to lift weights every day or don't sleep as well, and that feels like an addiction in itself. It also stops becoming as effective with helping sleep the more days in a row I do it.

Anywway just trying to figure out my way out of these shitty feels. I deffinately wasn't depressed before i drank every day for a few years. I at least was able to stay interested in shit the entire day back then. So im really hoping this is just coming down to staying sober long enough. im scared of being permenantly like this.

>>8819507
Guy who stabbed himself here.

When I first went was taken to the hospital I had to get stitched up and get a blood transfusion in the emergency room. After that I got taken to the lockdown mental health ward. I'm not sure if lockdown is actually the term for it, but it's more secure and patients in there are under a lot more scrutiny than the ones in the main area. This is where most patients are taken following a mental health issue (suicide attempt, acting oddly, etc.) for evaluation and to determine whether they'll be held for longer or can go home.

This place wasn't fun. I had my own room which could be locked down to prevent me from going into the main area. There was little to read or do, but there was a TV in my room. I think everyone else in this unit had been brought in by the police, these people were scary and I didn't talk to them. There was a lot of yelling from these guys. I had to spend two days in this unit before a bed in the upstairs mental health unit opened up. This was at a private hospital, I think everyone else from the lockdown ward had to go to a county mental health unit that accepted medicaid and the uninsured.

The regular mental health unit was a little better. I had a roommate who was undergoing ECT (I didn't even know it was still used) and was confused and had really bad memory (I think this was a side effect of the treatment). His family came to see him every day. He was an older guy in his 60s. The mental health ward isn't fun and whacky like it's usually depicted on TV. It's extremely boring. People were in there for depression, severe anxiety, medication adjustments, self harm, and suicide attempts. There were a couple people with schizophrenia who were completely out of it and would just sit around mumbling and writing bizarre stuff. Listening to them was only fun for a few minutes the first time you met them. We had group therapy and 1 on 1 therapy sessions a few times a day.

>>8819827
Sounds like Grosse pointe or some shit.

I am very drunk

Feeling anxious the day after drinking. Getting more booze won't help will it? I'll still feel anxious after right? Fucking hell

>>8820267
nah more booze always helps the day after guilt

>>8819924
I'm on the same boat, and man does it suck

Ive heard it takes time and it's not permanent

>>8814112
>falling asleep sober
>have you tried weed?

Are you actually fucking retarded?

Got 2 bottles of this, probably won't even drink it all

Some of these idiots don't realize that a drunk is entirely different from a high. Not only that, but I live in a state where possession of under an ounce can result in 5 years in the state corporate penetentiary with Tyrone, Jamal and Darius as my cellmates in a cell designed to hold 2 people.

>>8820236
I'm medium

>>8819924
That's part of long-temp withdrawals. Consider medication, try meditation, exercising moderately but daily (a walk can be enough).

>>8819937
I visited a place like that once, to see a psychologist who had his office in. Had a smoke in the courtyard, talked a bit with interns. That was weird. The shrink was weird too, long hair and a Marilyn Manson poster in his office. I think I got most of my hatred of hospitals and mental hospitals from this afternoon.
My stay for rehab was with the easy cases from the emergency/sorting. I had it easy compared to you.
"Boring" often comes up when describing hospital stays...

>>8820340
You misread Anon. That's why you don't go around calling people retards, because you may be the retard.

>>8820405
Still a perfectly acceptable method to maintain sobriety from alcohol

I found the object that will let your drunken self help you stay sober. You just have to not remember the code.

>>8816712
I'll mix monster and vodka sometimes. Keeps me up until 4am sometimes

This is a nice tune

0:33 out of booze wat do?

I drink about a fifth of cheap whiskey a day. Went to my mom's to visit some family for Easter last night. Left this afternoon and first thing I hit was the liquor store for the two hour drive home. Then after I got home I went to my office because I have a fuck ton of work to get done before tomorrow morning. But at least I have some whiskey and Doritos and the radio to keep me company

>>8820559

when you say excersize moderately what exactly does that mean? i like doing a 30 min jog and a semi light full body weight routine every day. both the cardio and weights have different benefits (cardio seems to improve mood and well being more, weights seem to improve being able to sleep better) but i often wondering if im doing too much? doesn't the body need a rest day or something every week? also i really don't want to go on anti depressants or any medication really as drugs in general got me into this mess and it really feels like going completely sober is the best way forward.

>>8818426
I was pretty belligerent one time at some gay anime convention and cops raided our room. I started shouting at them in Japanese from what I remember, and I guess they didn't wanna deal with that, so they called a taxi and sent me on my way. Not all cops are bad, and they saved me from underage drinking at the time and getting a record.

Super poor fag here I only got 6 beers in my fridge and no money. However I never get drunk unless I drink atleast 10. What do? Is there some cheap 40 I can buy I have like $1.30

Why do my problems have to seem so fucking vivid when sober, that I start to wonder whether just being a blackout drunk might be easier? Fuck. Sobriety makes me feel like I've got a mountain to climb, but with two broken legs. Being smashed all the time on the other hand makes me feel like I just fell down the mountain and broke both my legs. At least while drunk and hurtling downwards being battered and shattered I can just let it happen. Sobriety is a monumental and terrifying effort.
>goes back to pointlessly laying in bed wide awake

>>8820920

Hey man I'd be thankful you can still clearly see your problems while sober. It took me a good few months sober before I even started to realize what my issues were because my brain so fried I was basically just waking up and going through the motions every day without thinking about anything at all. Deal with them now while you can. a few months of regular excersize , eating healthy and working towards something will do wonders

>>8818621
>waiting for the police to show up instead of just punching the fucker out and riding off

>>8820659
You post this shit in every other /alc/ thread. What's the point?

I think my girlfriend is gonna brake up with me because of my drinking so I turned to drinking to help with the feels

>>8820774
Iirc, it's X minutes of walking "too fast to sing but slow enough to talk", can't be arsed to remember how many times a week. It's just one method that worked for the person who wrote about it, maybe it's more for sedentary people.
I understand for the AD. It's a pain to use, only useful to get you back on track. I guess if you already go to the gym you're not depressed enough to justify taking them.

>>8820809
>I started shouting at them in Japanese

They don't even want to deal with a weeb like you.

>>8820810
Don't drink? Do you drink daily?

>>8821094
Do you understand the concept of a car? Like a big metal cage you can't punch through and can kill cyclists instantly?

>>8818513
This is basically how any recovery program works. Except nobody is making money off of you guys like they do at the methadone clinic.

Had such a hard time not drinking too many beers in front of my grandma at the Easter bbq today. Couldn't even get a buz.

>>8821256
What kind of meth clinic ask for money?
And most recovery programs try to avoid trolls, drunks, and people talking too positively of the product. That's what I like about here.

>>8821268
>What kind of meth clinic ask for money?

If you don't pay, your insurance does. How else do they pay for pizzas?

>>8821243
he didn't even hit you though
and I assumed that he either got out to check if you were ok or at least rolled down a window to talk to you
why would you just sit on your ass there waiting for police to come while the dude just sits completely safe in his fortress of solitude

>>8821331
That wasn't me.
From my understanding, he rode away but the cops found him. It's not like he could have gone very far, and he was the only biker in the whole town.
Maybe he assumed he wasn't wrong and fleeing the scene would be suspicious.
What kind of salvage are you to consider punching people in the face like that?

>>8821373
>What kind of salvage are you to consider punching people in the face like that?
he's drunk and got called a hippie which he found offensive

>>8821385
Not the same person. Again.
Wait, am I misunderstanding the whole situation or is everyone else?

>>8821268
>recovery programs try to avoid drunks and addicts

Huh? That's extremely funny and unfortunately, except for the free AA, it may very well be true. No wonder for profit recovery advertise like fiends nowadays. Got to feed our lord and savior, Mammon.

Fuck friends man. I was planning a night out with 2 of my closest friends from my old job and they just fucken started ignoring me. Fuck everyone. Gonna drink whiskey until I pass out. Fuck it

>>8821839
I have been there so many times anon. Fuck em

>>8821839

Maybe like a year after I graduated highscohl I basically cut off coommunication with anybody form hgihschool , dewleted my facebook, etc. and have absolutely no regtrets. Online friends are way easeri to manage so I just have those nowl.

>>8821909
>>8821944
What the fuck did I do to deserve this? Like we were fucken homies and they act like stuck up bitches. Fuck I've never felt pathetic like this before

you guys ever pass out somewhere and then wake up and misunderstand the time and it fucks your whole day up

I passed out in my university's club office and when I got up I saw it was 2 and immediately thought it was the pm and scrambled to get my shit together and then I walked out and it was pitch black and I've never felt like a fuckboy on this caliber before

>>8822133
well then you're in for a real treat.

>>8822143
what do you mean friend

>>8822133
that's happened to me but i was fine with it

like "oh awesome now i get to just slack off for 12 hours"

>>8820810
in the future buy 8% beer

it's 60% more powerful and usually costs less

>>8822133
how did that fuck your whole day up tho
did anyone even see you?

>>8822158
>>8822158
tfw the last steel reserve I can afford is sitting in my bag right next to me and I really want to drink it but feel like I may need it to readjust tomorrow morning
conflict is hard

>>8822154
>>8822154
ye I guess you are right, I'm debating if I want to just go back to sleep or not rn

>>8822199
no no I thought I did by wakingu p past noon the next day but it turns out I did not

maybe this analogy will show my age a little too much but it is like having a dream about missing a final exam and waking up extremely alert and then realizing its august

Fuck nuance. Straight vodka is the way to go.

Apparently it was Easter Sunday yesterday and all the shops were closed.

Thankfully the shops were open on Monday but my clock in the corner says it's Tuesday.

>>8822743
why didn't anyone tell me it was easter and the shops were closed?

>>8821839

A common symptom of prolonged alcohol abuse is a feeling that everyone is mad or upset at you, even with no reason to back up that supposed feeling...

When I was a consistent drunk and said hi to someone with no response, I just assumed that I had done something wrong and they were mad at me, even if it was entirely on their end.

It's not that they hate you, they probably just have other shit going on. Relax.

Any news on Smirnoff bro? Hope he is ok. Pretty sure he was in the UK, anyone seen anything in the news or anything?

pls don't be kill

>>8820920
This exactly. When I was drunk every night my problems were in a fog, distant.

Now they are precisely vivid and I'm terrified

Collegefag here, I got my hands on some Jameson, and I fucking hated it because it reminded me of a time when my brother mixed wild turkey and diet coke and let it go flat and made me drink it.

Jameson is supposed to be the decent stuff, right?

Rec me what I should get my connect to buy next.

I like Unflavored and lemon grey goose, ciroc and light beers. Most craft beers are fine, except for the really hoppy ones. Everclear is a great thing to mix at parties but I don't intend on ever having it straight up. I don't like whiskey and bourbon.

I haven't drank Jager yet. Should I get some later this week?

>>8822834
His bottles had £ price tags.

>>8823217
You can't drink whiskey (or drinks similar to wild turkey) because it'll always remind you of bad memories. I can't drink rum nor pastis because (I guess) I puked it when I started drinking and my brain now consider it a disgusting poison. We all have one drink we can't into.

This thread is heartbreaking.

My 2 year long daily bender ended last year. I´ve been sober since September 2016.

First quit my job so I could drink more, got DUI, had trouble with police, trouble with neighbors. Threatened to kill my neighbor. Ended up vandalizing some store drunk out of my mind, ended up in looney bin. Spent a month in the asylum in total delirium tremens (had some really bad hallucinations), escaped the hospital multiple times, police looking for me. Tried to get guns from my old friends "for protection" and other stupid shit.

Sober living has been the best decision in my life, I was also heavily addicted to weed and benzos besides drinking. ( I smoked weed last 5 years daily )

Having a job interview next week so things are looking a bit more bright. My aim is to stay sober rest of my life, my own behavior scares me too much and I am the most stable person sober.

>>8823511
good luck with the interview my man

Found out my coworkers boyfriend has 3 DUI's and is losing his license

Never understood the DUI thing, and I guarantee you I am a worse alkie than him (multiple hospitalizations for me, multiple rehabs)

Just stock up and drink the fuck at home

I'm not even an anti DUI crusader, I really don't care, it's just...don't understand
