How do I fix the craving for alcohol? I've been dry for

>>38212635

You'll make gains slower but it's fine. Just track macros. Gona get some gin now.

Bro stay off if it. For God's sakes man.

>>38212635
Beer is high in calories, perfect for bulking

don't listen to him >>38213166
do you really think that there is such a thing as "drink a little"? don't fool yourself. it starts with a small beer before you go to bed and ends with 4 bottles a week. there is a reason why you want to numb yourself. find it. try to improve yourself and keep yourself busy with stuff. learn meditation, stop fapping, stop using the internet like a drug or whatever... just keep improving. it will be a long struggle but you can and will do it. you quit drinking man! that'S something to be god damn proud of. so many people try and fail. stay strong brother

Just dont drink too much o-ok

>>38213310
Awesome words, not Op but thanks.

You shouldn't ever drink if you're that addicted to it. These people telling you it's okay to drink occasionally are fucking idiots who fail to see that you obviously have a problem. If you have a history of alcoholism you'll never be able to enjoy it in moderation, no one ever is. You'll fix the cravings by staying off the stuff and learning to live without it.

You know full well alcohol is the cause of your problems, the reason you feel these cravings to begin with. You know it's fucking stupid to think drinking alcohol is going to make it better.

>>38214175

This man.

Maybe someday you can drink again but OP, you have a fucking problem. Stay away from it until you can live without it.

Anon, what do you think alcohol is?

ta for the inspiration x

>thinking that anyone who drinks or wants to drink is an addict

found the alkie

>>38212635
>live in such a weird society/civilization
>where the abundance of something is so common, that its actually being the problem of a person
>when in these millions of years, scarcity was actually common and the fight for food was considered to be normal
>novel thoughts/idea's/problems like this arise

In context to the old, op and his likeminded people seem quite weird.

All you have to do is literally just not consume it.

>drink only water
>never even smoke,drink or use drugs
>feel no necessity to even be addicted to sugary things like 80% of the population.

and I no longer have empathy for things like op, since I cannot comprehend it how their mind works.

>>38212635
Op, there is no shame in going to AA. Seriously, if you have a problem with drinking, it's much better to have people around to help you

Opinion discarded.

>>38214374
It's fun.

>>38214374

Having your brain being slugging near people is fun? Your brain being sluggish in general is fun? Why though?

>tfw drunk everyday

Alcohols ruined my life brahs, made me fat and lose friends

>Guy wants to stop
>Guy is hyperventilating and believes he needs to drink
>He doesn't have a problem with it

Okay amigo. Everybody at AA woke up in the middle of a ditch with AIDS, right?

>>38214425
Have you ever been drunk? That would answer your question.

>>38214517
yes I have been, and it has not been fun. Being slow does not mean that life is better in any way.

>>38214541
It's very fun and you clearly never drank with friends

>>38214424
>caring what day or time it is

kek I get drunk at 10 am on Sundays sometimes

All in moderation OP

>>38214616
Its whats the leftists would call a "social construct", you only believe it to be fun because everyone is doing it.

If you remain a bitter person who is very strict of himself during it, it wont change him. Like it happened with me. I stopped drinking because it did not change my nature. It had literally zero effect on my social ability or personality while surrounded by others.

>>38214641
This

Drinking on weekends is fine but everyday for no reason is an alcohol problem

>>38214689
You clearly didn't drink enough, when I get drunk I'm very social and up for doing just about anything

>>38214541
Kek whatever you say bro. Almost every human on earth and many bears disagree.

>>38214689
Oh I see, you're a contrary an /pol/tard. That makes sense.

>>38214716
even piss drunk when I walk weird I can still retain control of myself, and still dont become nicer or kinder. I kinda still remain the same.

>>38214541
That's your opinion. Almost every normal person would disagree with you.

>>38214696
Yeah I'm an alcoholicand can confirm this, the problem starts when you drink whenever you're bored just for the hell of it than over time you can't enjoy anything without being drunk

>>38214726
>>38214738
I rather think that you guys are the weird ones for liking this piss, slow maker really.

>popularity fallacy

Doesnt really change the fact that there is also a 70% and higher obesity/overweight thing, when 100 years ago there was none.

Popularity anything does not matter even a little bit in our modern, and weird age. Civil war, nuclear strife or anything breaks out and you guys are out of booze, doing the food scavenging again, a thing that you did for millions of years in similar forms.

Forget alcohol then.

>>38214778
Autism confirmed

>>38214778
Lol people drink out of boredom m8 if civil war or some shit broke out you wouldn't even think of alcohol even if you were a heavy drinker

>>38214778
>implying it's the popularity fallacy when humans have been drinking alcohol for millenia and it's thought to be the reason we ever created agriculture
>implying that humans won't find a way to get a hold of alcohol in just about any situation in history

Fucking kek. Yeah it's not you that's wrong, it's all of humanity!

>>38214787
>muh infallible culture/civilization
>not realizing that its barely 100 years old in this form, even less for its abundance of foodstuffs like alcohol.

>>38212635
Four bottles a week.. You mean 4 liters, right? Because if you mean 4 individual beers, KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT

Does a small or even large amount of alcohol per week affect gains in any way other than your macros/calories consumed?

Pretty sure he means 4 liters of liquor and not 4 bottles of beer or something

Nobody craves alcohol unless they're physically addicted and 4 bottles of beer a week won't do shit

binge drinking sucks, fuck alcohol except for small amounts
way better drugs around than that shit

>>38214879
Small amounts doesn't do shit you gotta get hammered to enjoy it

>>38212635
drinking isn't too bad. it's bad for your gains but otherwise you need to have control of it

i'll just never do it alone. that's too sad for me and that seems to be where drinking problems come from. also stay sober at random events so you don't lose the ability to socialize sober

>>38214896
I like drinking outside in the sun
you don't notice shit until you stand up and have to get home
a night out on stimulants is just way better though

>>38214916
I can confirm the issues start when you begin to drink alone at home, it escalated quick to getting drunk everyday by myself and whenever I went out with friends I'd get completely wasted

>>38214858
>>38214868
So it increases your risk by 5%? If the risk is 1% it is now 1.05%?
That doesn't seem all that significant to be honest, I read the association between smoking cigarettes is like 13 times, 1300% the risk for the disease.

>>38214876
You never know bro. There's some pretty autistic people on here. I've never heard someone refer to a fifth as a bottle.

Op, I drank .5-1.0L a day for decades. Been sober for 1.5 years. It gets easier, especially after a year. Its just a bad habit you need to break. Whatever you do, don't let your mind dwell on craving it. Interrupt bad thought patterns. Go outside. Watch a movie. Play a game. Do cardio.

>>38214984
>Op, I drank .5-1.0L a day
Of what?

>>38212635
Turn it into a fitness addiction it's better than alcohol

>>38214984
>I've never heard someone refer to a fifth as a bottle.

I've always found "a fifth" to be an extremely annoying measure. I only recently figured out that people mean a 750mL bottle because it's approximately 1/5 of a gallon. I mean, how fucking obtuse can one get? Let's buy alcohol in the US, but instead of a simple quart, we'll but 750mL. And instead of calling it what it is, 750mL, we'll refer to it as what it APPROXIMATELY is, one fifth of a gallon. But we'll leave off the gallon.

That's like asking how far is it from Seattle to Portland and answering "a sixth" because it's around one sixth of the distance from Seattle to Los Angeles.

So yeah, saying "x bottles per week" generally makes more sense, in my opinion.
