Went to parents' house for Easter dinner and only drank one glass of Champagne because I had to drive home that evening. Considered not drinking anymore after I got home so I'd sleep well and feel refreshed for the work week. Ended up drinking a six pack of IPA and watching MST3K instead. I'm tired as fuck today and have terrible gas.

i've been drinking between one and two bottles of liquor a week, kinda, off and on, usually like a 750 on the weekend and maybe a flask and a couple steelies during the week. maybe for the last two months. i don't consider myself alcoholic in any real way. i've just been really bored.

i'm stopping though because i need to lose weight. i'm going to eat 8oz of wheat germ porridge with a banana smashed in it every day.
>>
>>8823600
I don't get it. When I drink I lose weight.
>>
>>8823588
Much more relaxing IMO.


When I'm with company I'm kind of filtered so I can't fully relax. An If I get really drunk I'll say something that will offend someone

I called my sister in law a coal burner last year when I was drunk at their house and said I wonder how my brother can love her.

As if that wasn't bad enough a long time ago my brother had told me before they got married that she had only fucked two guys in her entire life. A nigger and my brother so I was basically telling her I knew her sexual history made it so much worst. Plus their kids were in the adjoining room lol
>>
>>8823605

drinking lowers my inhibitions, and that manifests as binge eating. eating is my real vice. fucked up experiences with food throughout childhood or something. and binge eating + drinking is the fastest way to gain weight, since your body will ignore food when it has alcohol to process.
>>
>>8823607
Damn dude. How do they feel about you after that?
>>
>>8823617
My brother didn't give a shit but she was pretty pissed. I knew immediately I should have not said that by the look on her face

She kind of pretended I didn't just say that after a couple minutes but I could tell I pissed her off. She used to text me constantly asking me to help her do things my brother doesn't have time/knowledge to do. Dozens of times a week.... She's text me 3 times since that happened last year. She used to text me more then that a week so I know she is still pissed about what I said

I regretted saying it for a few months but realized later I shouldn't regret it. It's not like I was lying, That's what she is. She knows it, My brother knows it. I just said it
>>
>>8823635
On the bright side you don't have to worry about her blatantly using you anymore.
>>
>>8823648
Exactly!

I was too nice to her anyway. She's very manipulative

>>8823600
Beer does that to ya.
>>
>>8823611
>drinking lowers my inhibitions, and that manifests as binge eating
Nice to see I'm not the only one.

If I'm drunk, my judgement is impaired. This means that an entire pizza is just fine for a snack, and that I can't make myself put down the bag of tasty crunchy meaty-tasting things. Or I'll stop and get chips on my way back after a night out.

It's really bad for my diet.

Where do you live? In an ABC controlled state, was fucking surprised we started getting Mezcal a few years ago. A good intro brand I would suggest is Sombra. If you like Tequila pick up a Blanco and compare them side by side. The difference in production is fucking neat.

Even better if you can get sal de gusano (literally salt with ground up dried worms and chile spices). That sprinkled on an orange slice with a glass of Mezcal is fucking great.

pounding a eight pack of pic related and doing some soul searching, gonna be dry for a bit starting tomorrow. I've been abstaining for 2-4 days at a time this month, want to take a longer stab at it.

I've been trying to go to the gym and eat better recently while dealing with a breakup, drinking really fucks with that plan. A nasty breakup five years ago is what pushed me from "frequent drinker" to "get drunk every day" and I know if I let alcohol get the better of me this time it's probably gonna kill me.

I love drinking but it fucks with me too much, I'm not deep enough in it that it's messed my life up irreparably but I can see it coming. I don't plan on quitting forever but I haven't gone more than a few days without drinking in the past eight years and I need to take a fucking break. I'm a beer/cider guy, luckily I've never gotten the taste for liquor otherwise I'd probably be too far gone by now

it's a cloudy drippy warm spring day here in western canada, feels like a good day to start living again

I've been listening to a lot of early Magnetic Fields recently, especially this song. It's so atmospheric and sad and beautiful, dreamy

>>8824291
Holy shit, anon. You hit the nail right on the head with that image. That's my life in a nutshell.
As for losing friends, I know that feel too. I lost my former best friend by shouting that I was done with her and her white trash family (which is weird, because she was Puerto Rican) in the middle of a restaurant/bar and then storming out. I also lost my oldest friend at the same time, since he was there and he took her side. Lost another of my oldest friends shortly thereafter. Some years before that I made out with my then-best-friend's ex-girlfriend at his apartment while I mistakenly assumed he was sleeping. I went a couple months without talking to my parents last year after sending them nasty e-mails. Also went a few months without talking to my current best friend after telling her I didn't like her and only hung out with her because I'm a lonely alcoholic and beggars can't be choosers. Had a girlfriend from Italy that I dumped because she wouldn't let me drink when we were together.
I could go on. . . .

I never understood how people jerk off while drunk, that's like the last thing on my mind when I'm intoxicated, even when I smoke weed. I just feel like it would make me feel depressed.

>it's a cloudy drippy warm spring day here in western canada, feels like a good day to start living again

Good luck to you, anon. You seem like a soulful drunk.

I hope you get out of this shit. I was like you a year ago, could only string together three or four days at a time. In the last year I've put several streaks of a few weeks, and two of over two months, together. Life has gotten a hell of a lot better. About to start a new streak and hopefully this is the one that sticks.

If it's available to you, try to get a prescription for antabuse. It's helped me an awful lot.

I kind of got sick of sudoku, I fucking love nonograms though. do you ever do crosswords? I know they're less logic based but I love them

>>
>>8824899

Nah, never, I'm not good with words
I was really into nonograms some time ago, but I kind of just grew tired of it, been doing some lately though, but the fire just isn't there anymore, sudokus are really boring too if I'm sober or not listening to something interesting, like good tunes, or some podcast or documentaries or lectures you know

Got some of this yesterday and it actually taste like the real thing.
Only grabbed like a 12pack of Sprite to mix it with since I'm new to this shit and have no know-how into mixers but it was decent.. I think.
Dunno if I wanna drink more tonight and be up before 4am for work when it's almost already 7pm. That or get pissed off at a friend for being a whiny faggot about something stupid for days on end.
>>

Eh, reading about cryptograms some more, there seems to be a lot of guessing involved, that's one thing I don't like about puzzles, with nonograms and sudokus there's rarely any time you have to guess at all

How much do you normally drink for that to not undo withdrawal?

Ah, here you guys are. Took a while to find you because no silhouette img.
Hope everyone is in one piece. Day 2 of withdrawal for me. Hard to post. I keep forgetting how utterly fucking horrifying this is. Everything scares the shit out of me, I've vomited so much that I almost black out from pain when dry-heaving, cant keep anything down, one sip of water has me vomiting for like a minute, and omFg the nightmares.
Too hard to post, even using VRS. Gtg.
One way or another I'm never doing this again. If I relapse, I'll just drink myself to death.
I hope at least some of us escape one day. I'm trying just one more time. Good luck everyone.

I normally drink a fifth a day, but recently upped it to 1200ml of whiskey a day, so now a fifth (750ml) aint doing shit. About two do two shots of whiskey and hopefully pass out

why? They literally cannot understand how hard it is for some people

Try telling them not to eat for 3 days and see how bad their cravings for food get, but oh wait, you NEED food, so it doesn't count
>>
>>8825367
I mean yea it's hard if you go straight into cold turkey after downing a fifth every night, which everyone here seems to be doing. Why not just do baby steps and limit your alcohol consumption slowly. That way you can still enjoy getting drunk/tipsy without literally killing yourself with withdrawal
>>
>>8825388
For me when I start drinking I dont stop until I blackout. Telling an alcoholic that drinks a fifth or more a day to ease off isnt the best advice.

If they could control their drinking they wouldnt have got to that point.

just realized that I am an alcoholic tonight. I went to the liquor store and just bought a little 350 milliliter bottle so that I could have a little treat while my girlfriend was out. The way the cashier treated me was that I was a user of a hard drug who just needed their fix and they were helping me out. I I realized I was really just buying the little bottle so that I could crush it fast and throw it away without my girlfriend ever noticing. like who the hell comes into a liquor store at 7 p.m. on a Monday and just buy a little bottle of liquor.

I live with a hardcore alcoholic. She's self medicating for bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. I care about her but she drinks every day, passes out face first, gets her period on herself, has sex with freaks she meets on facebook. And no she's not cute she's my friends mom. It's so debauched. I thought I was an alcoholic but drinking a six pack after work is just being a fuckin American. This is advanced an alcohol. The creepiest part is she talks to herself constantly, talks in her sleep, just never shuts up and tells me the same five stories I've heard a million times about her fucked up past like I've never heard them. It's so crazy

An alcoholic literally cannot function without alcohol. It's more than just "wanting a beer"; it's "if I don't drink this booze then I'm going to start having seizures that might kill me"

I read that vodka is the best drink to binge on because the hangover is minimal

Is that true?
>>
>>8828158
Vodka is distilled multiple times and it is not aged in barrels, therefore it's the purest source of alcohol that you can easily get. So in that regard it is better than other kinds of booze.

But it can still dehydrate you, so it's still possible to get a hangover from that.

first get a drug that you can use while getting your gaba receptors back in order. Xanax. Kratom. am opiate. some other shit from a Dr. Lyrica. get a bunch of shit.

Cycle 2 days per for each drug. This means mon tues - kratom wed thur -xanax -fri sat lyrica.

Then once that is in order you do something similar but you want to try and cut out xanax and the opiate since those addictions are just as bad if not worse than Alch

But same principle. Fuck dealing with sober life, i'm sure its doable if you are in a good place in your life but untill then we cycle.

Buy phenibut it last 2 days at 2-3grams so but you can only take it twice a week or it will give you the same withdrawls as alch. Mon phenibut, tues still feeling phenibut wed phenibut thursday still feeling phenibut. Fri - kratom sat kratom sun - kava or weed or something. repeat. This keeps tolerance down, avoides dependence and you get to feel happy..

read it, you need to get into a balancing act with a bunch of different feel good drugs. You get to feel good, not get a chemical addiction and keep tolerance down across the board. This is the answer to get through life feeling good but also looking good and not being dependent on a drug.

>>8828496
wrong, I am a drug user. But I have developed a system where if I have to I can not do drugs and get zero physical withdrawals because I am not chemically addicted..

>>
>>8828788
You need to find a replacement obsession, something positive. If you have an addictive personality and nowhere to channel your obsessive energy you're bound to be uneasy and bored a lot of the time.

I quit smoking/drinking and started exercising like an madman. Dropped from 300 to 190 pounds and spend about 10 hours a week in the gym, as well as picking up playing the guitar.

The gym stuff gives me a routine, and in order to do it I have to keep a certain amount of discipline in my life, and the guitar functions as an outlet.

When you guys drink daily, do you have a limit, like one or two drinks to get a nice buzz or do you get fucked up drunk.

Nah, just drink until I wake up again having passed out at some point, then start drinking again. All I really remember every day atm, is walking to the shop and back, then maybe an hour of drinking before I black out. It's a weird sensation when you wake a day later and do it again, even though it only feels like you did it an hour ago. My weeks are about 7 hours long. My health is very poor. I can barely walk, have almost no muscle mass at all and I'm in a lot of pain.
The shop is a 30 second walk away and I occasionally empty my puke and piss bucket. I eat a handful of food every few days. Other than that, I haven't got out of bed since august 2016 and have been drunk since 1994.
I kind of enjoy it desu.
not sure I'd recommend it though.
>>
>>8827838
drinking alone it not a good sign, I've been doing it for years. Avoid day drinking alone at all costs, that's where it gets shitty. I'm a 'get wasted in the few hours between work and bed' kinda guy and nothing bad really happens but on my days off if I don't watch my shit I can be a mess by the late afternoon.

day drinking is also how you start getting withdrawal when you're sober for a bit. I've been drinking hard for years but it's only after a long day of being drunk and not eating that I start getting the shakes and nausea the next morning.

you might be an alcoholic if you're concerned about your drinking, it takes priority over other important things, if you feel the need to hide how much you drink, or if you can't stop for a bit. or you might not be, everyone's different and alcoholism is a tricky 'disease' or whatever

The harshest hangovers of my life are from cider.

Much of it is likely the sulfites that ciders contain - similar to why people usually get really bad hangovers from wine which also contains sulfites.

There's no magic to it.

If your addiction is really bad and you get strong physical withdrawal, then a detox centre will help, but other than that it is always just going to be willpower. Once the physical danger is passed, everything else is just a matter of finding your own ways to address psychological desires.

Quitting is just making a decision not to drink and staying resolute to that. Everything else is just little tricks to fill your time, distract you, and develop new habits that take your mind away from drinking - which might include finding other ways to relax and deal with stress other than drinking. Most people can't quit because they don't have the continuous motivation they need to stay sober and they basically 'lose interest' in being sober - this is why AA has successes with regular meetings to give people that continuous motivation.

I've been sober for a while now, and I still think about getting drunk almost every single day. There's even alcohol in my house, because my wife still drinks on occassion, but I haven't touched it once. The only thing stopping me from drinking is my own decision not to do it.

Some one posted a picture of those the other day. Could be good?

Best Moscow Mule I've ever had was in Athens, GA. Pic related, the Harvest Mule. Not a true Moscow Mule, but it really worked cause it was just after Christmas, so definitely in season.

Jesus Christ I love being drunk
I'm about 6 shots of rum in now

God everything is just perfect
Every form of entertainment is 10/10
Talking is easy
Just sitting on this couch feels like an embrace

I wish I could feel like this whenever I wanted.
>>
>>8829209

This is a fair assessment.

I also like a Mexican Mule, which uses tequila and bitters Don't have one of those fancy mugs, though.
>>
>>8829209
Had a real good one of these at an artsy fartsy mixed drink pub once
Tasted good
But charged like 20 bucks for what felt like 300 mls

Not worth the cost
If I'm at home, I'd rather have a triple rum and coke, if I'm gonna mixed drink
>>
>don't even get buzzed anymore
>like 2 years into the habit

>>8829354
I'm like 2 years in too
I still get pretty buzzed on a double

Damn you must have went hard

kind of falling out of the drinking cycle

dont hate myself enough to put up with the hangovers and cost anymore. gonna move on to weed or just get totally sober
>>
I'm not drinking until I'm done my final exams next week. It sucks.

I'm not even craving the alcohol, I just miss the variety of drinks. I don't like pop very much so I've been drinking basically nothing but water, tea, and coffee for the last week.

Hi AL/ck/ I drink whiskey but I want to try something else is moon shine good or should I try hard Cider?
>>
>>8829302
What bitters do you use/where do you get your bitters?

The local grocery store only has Angostura. I'll see something on Woot Wine every once in a while, but I'm hesitant to get anything.
>>
>>8829490
Angostura is the essential classic. Get a bottle of it and then look for any specialty bitters you want later. It lasts forever, anyway.
>>
>>8829462
Rum and Coke
>>
>4 hours until alcohol sale starts

the wait
>>
>>8829462
I want to know what thought process yielded moonshine and hard cider as the primary options for "what should I drink besides whiskey?"

Don't tell me that
I have to stay sober a majority of waking hours.
>>
>>8829551

It's 6am, alcohol sale is from 10am till 10pm
>>
>>8829557
Dude
Be sober for a few more hours
Jeez

Jack off and eat breakfast
Read a book while your eyes still work
>>
>>8829534
Will try
>>8829545
I don't like beer I dont like fru fru drinks , I also live in the south so I was thinking that this region got some good alcohol drinks to be fixin to wet my whistle like moonshine and hard cider. Have tried tequila but that is it but I like it.
>>
>>8829579
>south

A gin and tonic with cucumber and mint is refreshing as fuck
I think there's a separate name for that drink, but it's super good if it's hot.
>>
>>8829572
Not the guy to whom you're responding, but what he's describing is torture. I've been there a thousand times. Read a book? With sweat pouring off me, 'the fear' making me hear/see things which aren't there, and shakes so bad I couldn't hold the book still? And as for breakfast? Eating at all is a rarity for me. I haven't had breakfast for years. You've clearly never experienced this level of alcohell or anything close.
"Jeez" indeed.
>>
>>8829593
I haven't because I haven't let myself fall to it

I know the early morning hallus
It's always fucking spiders

But I persevere.
I don't drink until the sun begins to come down

I'm not gonna be one of those drunks who drink during all waking hours
Suffering during the sober time is what makes blissful inebriation that much worthwhile.
>>
>>8829599
Good for you anon, im glad to know that you are a responsiple drunk. Eat shit.
>>
>>8829642
Haha yeah it's torture

I think every drunk is either a hedonist or a masochist
Drink because you want to feel good all the time, drink because you've suffered enough

It's hard to imagine life without alcohol if you're someone, like me and apparently you, who drinks on a daily or semi-daily basis and occasionally takes a hiatus of a few days. The reason is because you've rewired your brain to only be capable of pleasure with alcohol in your body and on your brain. With alcohol, you can enjoy just about anything, even stupid shit that would bore you sober. Without alcohol, nothing is fun.

This has its basis in physical reality. In your brain. After consuming alcohol (or any other drug) long enough, the pleasure center in your brain becomes totally dependent on it. That's why the physical vs. mental (addiction) dichotomy that some people talk about is, at best, a useful fiction. The mental addiction wouldn't exist if not for some physical addiction. The physical addiction could be limited to your brain, but your brain is still a physical part of your body. To say you're not physically addicted just means that the withdrawal symptoms you experience are so slight as to be imperceptible.

Thus, people early in recovery are often unable to enjoy stuff. Literally physically unable to enjoy things, at least to some extent. Stuff that you would have loved doing before you started drinking is now tedious. Thankfully, this doesn't last forever. For some people it may only be a few weeks, for others it may be months, and for some it could be a year or even two. But you eventually become capable of enjoying life again. and you'll take up hobbies and pastimes you dropped long ago, as well as some new ones.

In the meantime, focus on finding ways to pass the time that are tolerable enough, exercise to get the physical reward you need and are no longer getting from drinking, and throw yourself into productive activities like work that will make your life better. Trying to have fun is probably a lost cause for at least a little while, so don't make it a priority.

missed work because I was too hungover
>>
>>8829650

I'm just bored
>>
>>8829675
I missed school..
>>
>>8829678
That's why I drink

During my sober hours
I find some threads on 4chan to shit post about and wait for responses
Sometimes I play vidya games

Grand strategy games like Civ or GalCiv help

My inner self won't allow himself to admit that he's an alcoholic so long as I only drink after 6.
So I find ways to do some things in the mean times.
>>
>>8829675
I'd never allow myself to do that.
I'd go painful days sober rather than that

I think work/other engagements are the only things keeping me from going full drunken retard
>>
>>8829690
Are you a neet?
>>
>>8829703
Half NEET
I had college with a job
Then a graduated and had only the part time
Then I tried for a full time and lost it
I've been NEET for a few months

Now I'm working as mover and applying to the military
If I'm working and busy, I can be sober

The NEETness is what makes me drink
I'm happy when I'm busy
I think that's what men feel happy doing
Men like doing something
Especially with their hands
>>
>>8829699
Some time ago I used to say that but here we are.
>>
>>8829758
Don't be Future-Me, pls
Future-Me will have a job and a life and will be happy sober
>>
>>8829763
Not if you don't stop drinking. It eventually consumes us all.
>>
>>8829772
I only drink when I'm not going to be useful tomorrow
Which is almost everyday
Still, I have principles

currently drinking Don Julio Blanco Reservada mixed with San Perrerio Mango Lime (basically just cheapo soda in a 40 bottle, but it is super addicting and good)

I'm also guilty of being a Kraken fan.
>>
>>8829918
Like the rum?
>>
>>8829940
Yup. I'm a slave to Kraken and Pepsi. I'm just a slave to mixing hard liquor with shit, really.
>>
>>8829944
Shiiiit
Kraken is my fucking kryptonite

I bought a bottle like 5 years ago
Drank 3/4 in a night
Broke a couple towel racks in my apartment
Threw up a lot.

My roommate at the time said "[You] unleashed the Kraken"

Never gonna drink it again due to that experience
>>
>>8829952
Amen. I hate conspiracy theories, but nothing will ever convince me that Kraken is anything but government distributed population control.
>>
>>8829999
Nice quads

But wat

Population control?
The fuck you're getting onto?

If anything drunkeness makes me hornier
Gonna have more chiddren
Gonna forget a condom more than aught
>>
>>8830004
All of my friends who drink Kraken also happen to be my friends who cheat death every time they are drunk. I've never seen someone almost die as much as some of the people I know
>>
bacardi gold for cheapish thrills

I want to try some wine, what's some cheap and very reliable to get wine? Preferably red.
>>
>>8830031
Oh yeah
Kraken is, at least for me, a dangerous edge
So easy to drink
So sweet

Fuckin Venus fly trap
>>
>>8830039
Really depends what you are in to. Your best bet is to go to your local booze palace and just read the labels. Try to find something that seems interesting and reasonably priced, take it home and have a drink. If you want to get in to posh wine, you should look up a proper drinking guide.
>>
>>8830039
Go with Australian wine like Liedemans or Wyndham Estate merlot. They are cheap, taste good, and easy to drink.
>>
>>8826679
antidepressants make you a different person
psychedelics do too but idk
alcohol makes you the same person but just with less self-restriction and less motor control

He drinks a whiskey drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
