I think you'll have a different perspective when you body begins shutting down at 30
>>7754194
this. also when you get so bad you develop wet brain, permanent nerve damage, die a miserable death from your liver shutting down.

I've never met anybody that advanced who was anything but committed to continued alcoholism. They have nothing to live for and don't see that ever changing. Even one guy who had children was like this, although the fact he couldn't see them anymore probably had something to do with it.
I think you just need to find a balance. You can still love and enjoy alcohol without allowing it to kill you. Don't feel too bad though. My vices are pot and cigarettes and I struggle with the same issues.
>quit weed

>"yo anon, wanna hit this bowl"

And I'm still smoking to this day. Out at the moment though :(((
>>7754178
How about you just drink less, fucker. Nobody cares if you "Quit" just don't drink so much that it will make you die.
>>7754239
>babby thinks things are this simple
Wow! What are the chances that out of countless alcoholics throughout human history, not a single one has thought of this? Genius!
>>7754214
Just how much of a pussy are you?
There certainly are withdrawal symptoms but they're nowhere near as bad as what you described. Weed and alcohol are nothing alike, the later being immensely worse.
>>7754276
Seriously, I was a heavy as fuck smoker, then just decided to quit one when I graduated college. Worst was a couple nights of insomnia and mood swings, then never a craving again.
>>7754285
Yeah I smoked a shitton too and suddenly quit one day. I had trouble falling asleep for some weeks, felt a little dull and overall uninterested in things but come on, suicidal tendencies? There's no way this comes from weed.
When I stopped drinking I was put on benzos, ate that shit like candy, went through terrible withdrawls, drank more anyways, for months on end, had the shakes, grinded my teeth, pissed/shit blood
know what I could go for right now, at 6:36 am, before I go to work? A bunch of vodka.
That's why I don't just ''drink a little''
Quit opie, if I could do it so could you
>>7754204
You turn yellow and bloat when your liver goes, and then you die slowly
>>7754178
>I'd rather die drunk and young than live a full live sober
until you kill somebody with your car
then you'll be in a whole new program
Switch to beer and wine, no liquor
>>7754343
for full on alcoholism all this is gonna do is cost you more money
Anyone else have trouble sleeping when they drink?
Fuck.

if i want to stay awake i can drink a small amount of alcohol to do it indefinitely

i quit about 8 months ago after going through really horrible withdrawals and anxiety attacks, nightsweats and all that. but no DTs thank god. I thought I was going to have a heart attack and I ended up in the ER.
I developed a stomach ulcer and had digestive problems for a couple months from pouring so much booze in my gut.
My heartbeat became strange and shallow for a while and that was scary as fuck. Anxiety attacks lingered for a few months after quitting.
But now that I'm past all that, I feel way better. there's no downside to quitting. I miss it sometimes, but i'd much rather have my health and not feel like im about to die.
>>7756226
any tips
>>7756233
only thing i can say is that it's a decision you have to make for yourself that you want to quit. no one can make you do it but yourself. i knew for a long time that i should cut back, but it wasn't until i was smacked in the face with the physical consequences that i decided i needed to turn it around.
i didnt go to AA or any kind of group, I just stopped and kept on with my life. the anxiety attacks were the hardest part to deal with because they would just happen at random, sometimes at work or on the road driving or whatever. you just have to find somewhere to be alone for a minute, breathe deep and get through it.
it was actually really easy to not drink because the options were to catch a buzz and keep feeding the beast or to stay away and not feel horrible. easy choice, you just have to want to make it.
>>7754377
This. Plus you'll gain more weight with beer. I'm trying to quit drinking all together for weight reasons.
you need to stay off that shit for like 90 days and get on an antidepressant, that's the only way the emptiness will start to really go away
also fix your life
sounds gay but it's true
find some real stuff to be happy about
>>7756255
I need to quit. I took a week off for the first time in years last month and had all the nightsweats, wierd blood pressure and heartbeat problems. Insomnia is the worst though. Does anyone have any tips for getting to sleep better? Melatonin and Benadryl make me sleepy but I still can't sleep at all for the first few nights. I wanna stop tonite but I'm freaking terrified of having a heart attack from lack of sleep/blood pressure wonkiness.
>>7756305
you dug yourself into the hole, now you have to get out
you're going to sleep bad for a couple weeks and you're going to have fucked up blood pressure and heartbeat
don't be a pussy, get through it
or go to detox if you're that concerned
>>7754178
sucks to be you. if i was that mentally fragile i'd probably kill myself
Like a lot of you guys I'm also attempting to quit. Alcohol has fucked up my life pretty bad. Just got my first dui about a month ago and lost my job as a delivery driver because of it. It's going to be so humbling and shitty to be going from making 20-30 dollars an hour doing pizza delivery to going to be a cashier making minimum wage or some shit. (Dropped out of university due to alcohol). I've also had horrible withdrawal, yet I'm back to drinking a pint of vodka every day even though I am squandering the last of my money. My question to you guys is.. Have you noticed any delays or loss of progress in your intellectual thought due to alcohol. I've been drinking heavily since about 17. I'm 22 now. I can honestly say, although I am more experienced, I can't say I have made any true intellectual progress. I might be a bit more educated and have seen more things. But I honestly though I would become naturally smarter since my brain was probably still in development. Have a fucked myself by drinking heavily in my late teens and early 20's? I notice that even when I am sober, sometimes I still stumble over my words or can't articulate a thought. It pisses me off. Also, sorry about the whole spill about my life. After reading some of these alcohol threads it seems that a small few of you cu/cks/ expect people to prove their "credibility" haha
I still have a beer or 2 every couple nights, but finally stopped my heavy heavy drinking every night. I forgot how good it feels to wake up and go to work not hungover or going through withdrawal. I miss getting drunk all the time obviously, but it's pretty nice not hating the world whenever I'm sober

What's the most embarrassing/shameful thing you guys have done while drunk?
>>7756337
It fucks with your memory capacity. My memory drops in and out more than it used to for sure. Eventually you'll start losing some fine muscle control and get twitch's and stuff when your not drunk. It's brain damage of a sort.
For those who need motivation not to drink tonight, watch this if you haven't already
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrTlI6seM0A
>>7756337
I second this guy >>7756361
My short term memory was noticeably worse when I was drinking heavy. Even if I wasn't drunk at the particular time, I could hardly remember where I had gone or what I'd done earlier in the day. It was kinda scary. Also, I've noticed nerve issues. Whenever I go through withdrawals after a long bender my hands get tingly or sometimes nearly completely numb. That was a major sign I was fucking myself up already, and I'm only 23. It's easy to think that the health effects will only catch up to you after being an alcoholic most of your life, but it can fuck you up a lot faster than you think
>>7756376
Thank you both for the input. What I have noticed (although I haven't been sober for more than about 3 weeks in this 6 year period of drinking) is that after I get through withdrawal, I have absolutely no motivation. I also can't focus. I also have issues with short term memory, however with that, I'm never sure if it was because I was drunk at the time, or if it because my memory is starting to get fucked. I've also noticed lethargy and depression. Those seem pretty common though. I hear they go away eventually. However, I can't even fathom attempting math. Not even intermediate algebra. That's quite the scary thought. It also seems that I black out a lot more easily than I have in the passed. Because of this I wake up hearing I have done incredibly stupid things. It's not even like I have been on binges. I can drink just about 6 shots and black out. Surely that means my brain is a but fucked? And of course, I have also noticed the while tingly sensation in my legs and arms. I think I already mentioned the difficulty in saying words that are more complex than commonly used words.. Or even a unique sentence...Hmm.. It's such a shame. I can think of several more things that have affected me, but I'll save it. I don't want to make this post too long

>>7754178
I get it, it's hard coping with living in this realm.
If you can cope with it without chemical aids, it's better for you, but don't beat yourself up if you can't.
>>7756412
I always get a bit slurred talking when I'm drinking, but I also noticed difficulty speaking for a few days following heavy drinking, it's pretty embarrassing

I stumbled back to my apartment, or what I thought was my apartment, to pass out after a party. Turns out I walked into my neighbor's place (who are all women) and passed out naked in one of their beds. Woke up to the police there

Damn man. Never been that bad. I was trying to get in my room but I was trying to open my roommates door. I'm just he wasn't home and the door was lock. Lucky for me I had the lights on in my room lol.
Upto 5 nights a week I'll buy 2 or so 500ml beers to chill out after work
Maybe twice a week I'll get drunk, which usually takes 7 standard drinks, which lately has been going down to once a week because the hangover is killer, I don't eat much and am an skeletal
Two flatmates have individually come up to me and mentioned something about my drinking
>you guys are always drinking lol, at least I'm not up there with how much you drink etc
>lol.. Should we get a smoke alarm for when you're cooking maybe..?
Legit though, yeah it was 4am, yeah I got a wee oven kiss on my finger rasslin' the fries before putting them back in for 3 more mins
But I had one bottle of wine that night and a beer, are they just been over cautious or am I an alcohol?

3rd day sober here. I'd drink tonight but I'm broke as shit until my pay goes through aand my boss always pays me late. Been living pay check to pay check for months. Got a text for my bank this morning, credit card just went over this morning when monthly interest was added. I have like $20 to my name and rent due this week. Got to quit drinking and get my debt under control. Went through my bank statements and over the last 6 months I've spent over $1000 a month on booze. Could have cleared my debt if I had just given up drinking for half a year. Or at least not drank so much in that time. Critical point now.
Need to quit. I don't give a fuck about my health. My life is shit. I'm just sick of not having any money.
>>7756226
>I developed a stomach ulcer and had digestive problems for a couple months from pouring so much booze in my gut.
What did you experience in terms of this?
How would I know if I have this? I get terrible indigestion sometimes, Like seriously painful. Could this be due to an ulcer or digestive problems?
>>7756357
Shit myself and had to barricade myself in the bathroom until everyone either left or went to sleep. Switched phone providers, deactivated facebook and never saw any of those people again.

I remember you from a thread on r9k.
Or it might have been here. Pretty sure it was r9k though.
I had slipped into a dark hole for the past few months, drinking at least every day. While I didn't always get drunk, I still drank 3 or 4 drinks at least a night.
Luckily, I seem to be over it, and I managed to pull a decent semester out of what seemed to be a surefire bomb. I'm proud of myself for that, and I think I'll keep doing well, but something is bothering me. I still sometimes get cravings for a drink on a weekday, though I've limited myself to just drinking on Fridays and Saturdays, which I have kept up with the past few weeks. Still, I sometimes just feel the urge to have a drink or two in the middle of the week, though knowing me, it'll probably turn into more if I do decide to slip.
For experienced alcoholics in this thread, should I take this as a warning sign? My family has a history of alcoholism and other drug dependency issues, so it'd be nice to get some advice from you guys. Should I continue limiting myself to only weekends?
>>7756811
Depends on how impulsive you are (and genetics). Just know the more often you drink, the higher your tolerance increases, just like any other drug.
Unless you're a disciplined person who's strict regiment-like habits can't be broken by your peers (aka being a square), leave drinking for socializing (from parties to chilling with roommates after work). Once you start drinking alone, the amount increases, and pretty soon you're going through a handle in 3 days wondering how you got there. Alcoholism is a rather insidious addiction, but like any other one it'll creep up on you if you're not careful; any these al/ck/ohlics here can testify to that.
I wish my tolerance was low again. Would be way richer, and would get that euphoria instead of social anxiety when I drink.
>>7754178
get a hobby. You drink because you're fucking bored
>>7754194
what happens to your body?
gimme some reasons to quit
>>7756745
Thanks man, to be fair if you leave half your dinner cooling in the pan before boxing it up to freeze it or whatever one of them eats half of it and tells you about how they were eating your dinner, lol it was good!
So that's definitely a shitty person for sure
>>7754178
You can drink small amounts regularly, wouldn't drink more than 3 beers a day, and that's with eating. Not just slamming them all on an empty stomach.
Try to use more alcohol for celebrations or as a mind-altering substance occasionally. At most once a week, once a month would be better.
You also need to find something to do. Get a creative outlet. Painting, music, cooking, share your creations with people.
You might need to talk to someone if things are bothering you, sometimes /r9k/ can actually be decent if you don't want to talk to a therapist.
>>7757033
this
Personally i found i wasn't interested in one or two drinks, just in getting wasted. Which I did every night for years. Then the day drinking started and it got really bad.
Now i don't drink at all, and it's a lot better.
Did I go to AA? you bet your ass I did, they're a bunch of drunks and they know how to help drunks stop drinking.
Get to a meeting sober, then get to bed sober, and you've been sober that day. One day at a time. That's how they do it.
I do still get tempted by cocaine and mushrooms, but I've had plenty of those and so far I've been able to say no (don't run into them that often these days to tell the truth).
Saying no to alcohol is no issue at this point. Yesterday I was with a bunch of people who all ordered/did shots of vodka and I was actually really glad I didn't have to. Before I would have been all over that shit.
>>7757532
>Then the day drinking started and it got really bad
That's when shit goes downhill for me as well. I know it's not good for me, but I can function pretty well just getting drunk at night after work. Sometimes a minor hangover, but no physical dependence. When I start drinking during the day, even if it's just a drink an hour to keep a slight buzz, that's when physical withdrawal starts getting huge
I think I have fucking gout.
goddamnit.
I drink six half litre cans of beer every night, and I'm able to stick to that. It's alright, I get buzzed without getting messed up and I'll probably live into my 50s.
>8-12 beers a day for 10~ years
>Functioning alcoholic
Recently, I've had days where I just cannot drink. Get to 2-3 beers and just feel so bloated and bored that I can't continue, so I end up eating dinner and going to bed sober. The urge to drink was so unavoidable up until about 3 weeks ago, now it seems like a bit of a chore. Should I use this as an opportunity to quit altogether? It feels like if I don't take advantage of this now, the urge might come back.
Also addicted to buying beer in general. I buy it every day, even if I have enough. My fridge is just full of straggler beers.
>>7759089
>Should I use this as an opportunity to quit altogether?
if you want to do that then go for it, this seems like a good time
>Also addicted to buying beer in general.
that's just habit, as long as you're aware of it you'll be able to tell yourself that you're just acting because you're used to it, and then stop doing it

Ex daily all day errday smoker here. I'm talking about gram a day minimum. Quit for 6 months to a year and replace it with something else, preferrably multiple things. My choice was cooking/food, weight lifting, work, coding, and TV/movies. Alcohol if the cravings get bad. If you do this and are committed to quitting for the foreseeable future, you will stop having cravings. I did. It helps if you move a thousand miles away where you don't know anyone and can't find any weed.
>>7759100
Creature of habit mang, don't know what else to say. Somehow worked the purchase and consumption of alcohol into my daily routine, like brushing teeth or having a fap. I'll give it serious thought, thanks for the reply.

>night sweats
whenever I get really drunk i never know if its sweat or pee
it worries me
Ignoring the withdrawals and depression I get from trying to quit, I cannot fucking STAND the crippling boredom without booze, man, holy fuck. Nothing interests me when I'm sober. I just want to claw my eyes out from being so bored.
Anyone else use Kratom to help stay off the booze? I know replacing one addiction with another isn't healthy, but it seems much better for you than alcohol
>>7759550
I know what you mean. Sometimes I wake up in a puddle of water on my bed. Gotta wash the clothes and the sheets or it'll smell. It could be pee though.

Not who you were referring to, but thank you for posting this. I've been struggling for a couple years now, very much improved over the last year...but it really helps hearing that encouragement from someone else who lived through this shit.Thank you again.
>>7754394
ugh, have this problem too. I get super uncomfortable when I've been drinking. It used to help me get to sleep, but once I went through a blazing alcoholic period for a year, my reaction to it changed. Now, it just keeps me up and irritated. Hate it so much.
So I'm quitting for a while, keeping this shit to special occasions instead of... you know... the night before work. Told my wife this yesterday.
>But anon, I invited guy you don't know, cousin, and cousins boyfriend you hate over tomorrow to have a nice drinking party where we watch stupid shit and drink a box of wine. I'm allowed to have friends over! You have to meet guy friend!

So I'm sitting in my room sober with the door closed. Wife stinks like wine when I go out to smoke, everyone sucks and bores the shit out of me. Wife is being extra nice because I called the god damned bluff and I'm pissed.

The fuck of it is that they go hand and hand for me. Normally I only smoke when I drink but I'm pretty sure I'm replacing it with that.
>>7760120
i can understand being a drunk. faggots smoking cigs ill never understand the addiction.
>>7760132
Can't really say I understand it myself. It's calming in a way, temporary though. I started while drinking, bumming off of people who would offer. You get to a point where you tell yourself you'll only ever bum and you're not a smoker. Then one day something gets you angry and you buy a pack because you want a god damned cigarette.
>>7760106
Must be going through a 30 dollar bottle of something every day

You can do it lads!
Going to the doc today and going to discuss my drinking. This is my first time meeting this guy, as I haven't been to a doctor in years due to lack of health insurance. Do I be actually honest? I'm down from about 12 drinks a day to 3-5. Can this effect my ability to get healthcare in the future I.e like how being open about your smoking can? I'm nervous as fuck and don't want to go.

Even if it goes on your record, I'd be honest. How long were you at 12 drinks a day? If it was for a long time I'd be honest with him so he can do the proper tests to make sure things like your liver health are in check. Even if you don't want to say you used to be at 12 drinks a day, tell him about the 3-5 you're at now and say you're concerned it's affecting your health

i smoked daily heavily for 5 years.
after quitting dabs/wax i had crazy withdrawals. nightmares, night sweats, wake up and my sheets are soaked in sweat. anxiety and heart palpitations.
everything in moderation kids
This thread was a good read. Been struggling off and on, I go on several day binges (Drinking alone) and then suffer horrible withdrawal. It's the worst that it's ever been, starting to see hallucinations and shit. I haven't drank for a week but have really been craving to do so.
I think I might just really try to teach myself self control and do it only in social situations. At least then there are people around to keep me from being 100% stupid.

Holy shit dude, 3 fucking years??? Absolute madman!!
Judgement aside, you're correct. Weed gives weird withdrawals. I was out of town for 4 days and forgot the weed. By the last day, I was actually having REAL emotions. I thought I was going crazy, was driving home with a huge smile on my face, laughing at little things in the music, even got horny off of my own thoughts. That day, I vowed to always bring my weed along.
Alcoholism is fucking awful, I've been drinking 6-10 drinks per day for the last five years ever since i picked up a stressful job and then got laid off, I can see the whole picture of me gaining weight and having shitty unstable mood and spending all my time lying in bed but somehow I manage to fuck up every single day and get drunk again
There's like a point between when you've drank too much and when it hits you that everything is fine and you waste entire days trying to achieve it for a short while

I have a coworker who's father just died of alcoholic induced liver failure at 48 years old, he only started puking up blood a couple months prior to his death when it was already too late. I don't know how much he was drinking per day, but it really scared the shit out of me. 48 is so young to die from something that could be prevented
>>7754178
I've been drinking 12 beers a day for years and still haven't get hooked
>>7762368
Lulz, your 2 percent ultra light beer would require 30 day for a proper buzz
>>7761147
You're in that percentage of people who get close to schizophrenia due to pot. It's partially pre-existing conditions, sorry for your shit gene at the lottery.
Take care of that in the future if/when you take medications or drugs. Read risks of secondary effects on your prescriptions and assume doctors are stupid on that point.
>>7760628
Congrats boy. The first week is the hardest, the rest is, well, long and boring, mostly.

I used to drink drank a 1L bottle of vodka per day, about 20€. With slightly higher taxes it's 30$.

I haven't had a drink since last Saturday night. Feels good but I'm afraid of the upcoming weekend. What do you do when all of your friends are drinking around you?
>>7762919
Surround yourself with other people that care about you. Sorry to hear that man.
You "I'm a drunk and trying to quit" are the biggest bullshitters
Surely there's a place on Reddit for you
Finishing up my everclear tonight

oh lawdy, look at the time dat boi, it's edge'o clock
>>7762993
Drinking heavily and expelling brown, "chunky" coffee ground like vomit is puking blood. In the acidic environment of your stomach the blood gets the chunky texture, and it oxidizes, thus the color.
This is bad, and I have to tell you that you should immediately cease and seek medical attention if this happens, as it may inflame ulcers or fissures, as well as you have to be (non medical term) completely shitfaced since you are likely a male, for this to happen. This is called UGIB, Upper Gastrointestinal bleeding. Rarely will you vomit red blood if drinking heavily, and if you do it is really up to anyone around you to save you since you will likely be beyond drunk. You also are in danger of sepsis, as you may actually be vomiting your own barely digested backed up shit from your GI tract.

I've been drinking 2 bottles of wine a night for the last 8 years. I can hear my own heart beat when I'm sober and see my stomach move up and down when my heart pumps. Just below my right rib cage there isn't any pain but there is an annoyance that feels like an organ is pressing against something. I've shit 7 times today. Pain in various parts of the body when I stop drinking and sometimes I have tingly feelings in my hands or feet. Sometimes I wake up after sleeping and can't move anything, like I'm still sleeping but I'm conscious. I have had sever pain in my left shoulder and heart area for the last 3 months at short intervals when I try to stop while I'm sleeping, sometimes my chest hurts and I cough a lot.
Don't do it kids, I just turned 30 this passed month and my parents don't even know because I manage to hold down a 6 figure job with this bull shit some how. I feel that I will probably be checking out soon, 5 years or less.
I quit for 3 months at the start of the year then had family over 1 night at the end of april and thought I could handle drinking one night then resume staying sober.
Ended up drinking a 6pack of 8% every night for a month straight before I ran out of money.
Now im 2 weeks into sobriety again and starting to feel better, but honestly it scares me to think of what my life will be like when I'm fully independant and have enough money to drink till I die.
>>7763094
Hopefully you check out in the next 5 months
Implying you didn't get that job through nepotism or rich parents
Drink up fgt
>>7763094
You're me in a year apparently.
>>7763094
Damn dude your the first person who Ive heard describe that heart feeling thing below your ribs.
I get that as well, or at least something similar. It feels like a heart palpitation except its not where my heart is, its more below it in that little triangle area space below your sternum where your ribs fan out and a little to the left.
I actually had an MRI of my heart and all sorts of tests because I thought I was dying. Any sort of physical activity would make my heart feel really weird. I too started getting it only after like 5+ years of really heavy drinking. I quit drinking for 3 solid months and it all went away thankfully. Maybe yours will go away to if you try quitting for a few months.
One thing though was for the first 2 months nearly every night I thought I was going to die of something because my anxiety was so high. even lost some hair I was so stressed.
>>7763111
U looking for sympathy or a hug sweetheart?
Go get a bottle and drink up, stop being a faggot
If u want hugs and bullshit Reddit is that way ---->
>>7763129
All I can say is stop now, it just gets worse, even if you manage to quit for like 3 / 4 days, a week, whatever, you are all like "damn I feel good, lets go get drunk" yeah don't do that. Just stop. You probably have a better chance than me.

I have all the same stuff. 9 years straight for me. I stopped 3 days ago. The heart pressure swings and wierd pains, tingles and twitches in my shoulders/feet/abs are bad right now. I thought I was going to die the first night. Had a fever illusion for 1/2 an hour and that was all the "sleep" I could manage. Last night I actually honest to goodness fell asleep for a whole hour. Vivid dreams. Another 1-2 hours of 1/2 awake fever dreaming and the rest just rolling around again. I'm fucking exhausted and almost broke down and drank earlier. But I made it and now I'm gonna go swim in my sheets and role around for a few hours.
>>7763238
omg please smash my pussy anon you're such a fucking hero you even used the word reddit twice now I'm really fucking wet
Niggers gettin triggered
I stopped wanting to drink when I had to remove a body that was decomposed terribly, feet were mumified, skin was coming off under my gloves, blood everywhere and shit. All because the guy died bleeding to death out of his asshole all alone in a trailer because all he did was drank. It eroded the lining of his colon to the point of a fatal GI bleed.
>>7763515
What do u get paid to do that shit?
>>7760655
vodka and crack go together like peanut butter and jelly
>>7763519
Yes, quitting this month. I still drink, but Im nowhere near all of the people in this thread. I would binge drink socially multiple nights a week, sometime every night for days on end. Nothing major, but seeing that shit made me never want to let myself get to that point. Worst part is I turn 21 on monday
>>7763350
DUDE, keep going, don't take another sip, go for a walk around town or something instead of getting in your car to go buy alcohol, or walk somewhere else if it's within walking distance; every time I pick it up again I'm like fuck... years later I'm like, what if I had been sober for 5 years? could have been doing amazing things or at the very fucking least not a stupid ass hole. There is this one sign that triggers (not in the stupid internet sense) me that I pass every day that just makes me think about "what if I didn't do this shit to myself" I used to be really good looking now I get stares because of what extended alcohol abuse does to your face and eyes. at least SOME of it WILL Heal if you stop and treat your body correctly with the right diet. All you can do is live with it and get back to the things you used to love doing, or maybe keep on doing some of the things you love doing while you were drunk, but change what you do when you feel the urge.

Look up Gary Null's info on supplements to take when quitting alcohol, you pathetic rot-juice puking dizzy dick.
what to eat with wine? not cheese or meat
sorry but how much do you exactly drink a day? on average?
>>7763951
anything depending on the wine
>>7763994
6 pack although I drink most of it over 2 or 3 nights and go sober some nights.
Well i guess my story is similar to the other full on drunkards here...
29 now. Drank almost everynight for 10 years. Sometimes a little most times a lot. Had 6 figure jobs in various parts of aus, never had any huge issues and if i did i was always well liked enough to get someone to cover for me.
So over the last two years i have been smashing 10-15 beers a night. Tingling in hands started to get really bad, every morning wake up with numb/painful hands... shit blood, pissed blood, chest pains. as we all know we dont get hangovers anymore really so you just wake up and get on with it.
My old man passed away last year. Hit it royally hard then. Must of had an ulcer of some shit coz took a dump and filled the toilet with bright red blood. Had a son and his now 9 months old. Mrs just told me she pregnant again.
Im 7 days sober now. And everytime i want to drink i look at my son... i imagine my next kid as well... and i try to make it one more day so i can stop forever to improve my health and be around for my wife and kids.
Pretty fucken hard tho as a few guys here will understand.
>>7754178
Yeah Yeah, boohoo poor fucking you. Fuck off with your woe is me shit. You've got no fucking will to change, we get it.
Alcoholicfags are the fucking worst.
>>7764267
How drunk are you dude?
>>7764305
I'm not. I don't drink enough to get shitfaced because I have self-control.
>>7764329
Yeah, I remember denial.
i'm not an alcoholic, but i want to spend every day drunk. i dislike the sober loneliness that i experience every day
>>7754178
Back in the gutter after 4 months sober. Everyone falls back in the end x
>>7764376
It ends up being no fun any more as your tolerance increases. It gets to the point where you feel worse than you've ever felt, drinking just to stay alive, until you're completely drunk at which point you feel just about OK for a short while until you pass out. I've been at a point where I couldn't drink fast enough to feel good.
>>7764455
I just don't want to stop... 26 years old here and probably have a standard 20 drinks a day, mostly beer. Once it hits 6 o clock I start drinking beer usually playing video games and hanging out with friends until about 11, and then drink water and go to bed. And then drink myself into a stupor on weekends.
I actually switched from weed to alcohol, now I do a little of everything and beer seems less harmful comparatively, but sobriety just bores the hell out of me.
I need to find something productive to devote myself to...
>>7764489
>i drink 20 beers in 5 hours every day
bullshit
>>7764489
>I actually switched from weed to alcohol
>>7754178
Ex-booze hound here, I haven't had A drop in month, whenever I had craving I smoked some weed and after a while I stopped thinking about alcohol altogether. Going for short jogs also helped,hope it helps.
>>7764514
What if I can't smoke weed?
>>7764503
Standard drinks, usually 12 high lifes and a pull or two of whiskey and/or a few g&ts. Sometimes a morning beer or rum chata in a coffee drink, but I'm trying to not drink until at least after work.
I'm not bullshitting, wish it was more around 6 to 10, but I've been logging all of my vices in an excel sheet so I can do a factual analysis of where I'm fucking up the hardest. I usually drink 1/2 to a full can of beer between every round of Call of Duty or World of Tanks. Or have three or four beers in an hour of cooking dinner, etc.
>>7764510
In retrospect, it's a worse switch for my health, but I like the high more and it's socially acceptable to have a drink in public. Not to mention that I'm a socially awkward fuck who depends on it to loosen up.
>>7764365
>anyone who disagrees with me must be just like me
>>7764518
you could always kill yourself
>>7764528
>i drink 20 beers and casually make dinner after and play video games
who are you trying to impress buddy? you just sound like a faggot
>>7764518
Why can't you smoke exactly ?
>>7764550
The fuck are you on about, guy?
Typical day is get off from work, either do a jog/weights or mow the lawn until 6, then I either make dinner while drinking 3-4 beers or (if I have leftovers or someone else is bringing food) usually just hang out or play video games while drinking beers usually interspersed with a little hard alcohol. Then any time between 11:00 and 1:30, I go to sleep. When I tally up the STANDARD DRINKS (maybe that's where you're going off) to log in my spreadsheet, it usually averages about 20.
This isn't some e-peen competition, I'm just trying to get this off my chest.
Anyway, my lunch break's over, maybe I'll keep monitoring after work or on my phone or something.
>>7764577
>i drink 20 beers and then accurately record them in my spreadsheet every night before bed
whew this shit keeps getting better and better
>>7764528
>Call of Duty or World of Tanks
you are just fucking up in every aspect of your life, huh?
>>7764577
There is no way you drink more than one beer every 20 minutes for six hours without getting shitfaced.
>>7764604
while just casually playing CoD most of the time and chugging beers between rounds and making a really proper fancy /ck/ dinner
this is the best story ive heard here in a while
>>7764553
Sudden onset DP/DR and anxiety after a year or two of heavy use, perhaps a symptom of a deeper mental illness. I can't sit in the same room as someone smoking weed without losing my mind, unless I've had a least a few beers.
Weed isn't as harmless as everyone thinks.
>>7764329
Being afraid of losing control isn't the same as having self control.
>>7764632
>being afraid of losing control
Anything to try to make anyone seem as weak as you, huh?
>>7764619
I've been there too, It used to caused some major panic attacks where i'd stay in bed for hours. Try to find someone who can get you medical grade stuff, chances are the anxiety will stop, of microdose on edibles and see how it makes you feel. I'm not a stoner or anything but I don't think I could have quit without pot, if it doesn't cut it for you drop liquor and try beer for A while and cut down slowly.
>>7764604
It's possible for those who are completely ruined. I've seen a guy drink an entire case of beer over the course of a barbecue without showing any signs of drunkenness. I'm not sure exactly what period of time that was, but it wouldn't have been more than six hours.
The flipside is that he's at a point where even when sober he's not entirely right in the head.
>>7764635
No, just a basic observation. Very few people who never drink enough to get shitfaced are confident with themselves.
>>7764646
Or they just aren't idiots who get shitfaced.
>>7764639
unless stimulants are involved even the biggest drunk on earth would be looking glassy eyed and trashed
>>7764647
OK. It doesn't matter which you are, you're nobody to me, but the fact that you feel a need to put other people down for drinking does suggest something.
>>7764650
He's permanently glassy eyed. I wouldn't say trashed, though.
>>7764651
>putting someone down for drinking
No, I'm putting him/you/all the faggots who make these same threads talking about how you tried SOOO HARD to quit and want to circlejerk about how bad you have it. And of course, anyone who calls you out on it has to be some pathetic loser like you.
>>7764662
i always encourage them to drink more in the hopes that they will die
>>7764581
Alright, I'm petty and have been monitoring this on my phone. I really should be going back to work, but this was my night last night:
>get home from work, start making tomato sauce so I can have it for chicken parmesan I'm making today
>5:30 or 5:45 go outside to where brother and friend are setting up amps outside, have a beer
>It's a nice day, so we go sit out on the porch waiting for a friend, I have a guiness
>Went inside, we're still waiting for a friend, had two beers and played a little cities skylines
>Friend gets there, so we jam a little on guitar/bass/drums and I have three more beers
>At this point eat two tacos that he bought
>Went inside to set up the NBA finals game (switching from PC to ota antenna), had a beer
>It's only the 1st quarter and there's still sunlight, so we go upstairs to do some RC flying
>Other friend comes over, have two slices of pizza, I have three beers in this period of flying and pizza
>Go back inside, watch the second half kind of winding down with 3 beers and a gin & tonic
The game ended at 10:30, at which point I would I usually would take a pull of Wild Turkey 101 (2-3 standard drinks) then go chill out on the couch with a beer or two. Small victory that I instead saw everyone off with a last beer, then watched TV and read a book until midnight.
I don't see how this is so unbelievable, especially when you consider I was "trying" to keep it under what I usually drink. I then log it into the excel sheet when I wake up the next morning.
Weekends are much more, weekdays I told you averages around 20. I'm not trying to sound impressive, because it's actually pathetic, but alright...
>>7763135
You really are a shitty poster. Seems that you belong in reddit.
Question for my alcoholic brethren.
How long after drinking should you wait to take something with acetaminophen in it to keep from damaging your liver (even further, I should say).
I drink daily, usually a couple bottles of wine, but sometimes a pint of vodka as well. I've only had 2 glasses of wine today, so far.
I get occasional migraines, and I can feel one coming on, but the prescription med the doc gave me has acetaminophen in it. How long should I go without drinking before I take one?
>>7754178
Jesus people who drink alcohol are so fucking pathetic.
>>7765357
man just avoid it. really bad for you. ive had a few times where ive broken out in hives/rash when i took acetaminophen after binge drinking.
>>7765361
Jesus, people who judge others without walking in their shoes are so fucking pathetic (and ignorant ).
>>7765361
>I don't drink
>I consider myself to be above others
>>7761147
Stopped abruptly almost a year ago after 20 years smoking everyday.
You sound like a little bitch.
>>7765357
Just make sure the alcohol isn't in your system. Give it like 16-24 hours. If acetaminophen killed everyone who took it after drinking, it wouldn't be on the shelf.
Yeah, it's bad, though. Don't pound tylenol while you're blasted drunk all the time.
Ibuprofen is probably a better bet after drinking.
>>7754178
>sick of drinking
>want to wait at least an hour or two before i start
>know that would mean i would be sleeping later than normal
>would mean i would be too tired at work tomorrow

>hangovers dont come around anymore, just a sore and beat up body (no headache)
i dont feel myself until 12 and by then i almost need to start drinking for the night. i feel terrible and i know everyone thinks im terrible. i just want love and a secure job. i dont think i would drink as much if i did. but

You may get your wish. Buuut...
Lets see whats behind door number 2??!
Its living the rest of your life with a disease caused by your young hedonistic years.
Im on vacation now. Ive been drinking every day and feel like shit. I just wanted to relax but I cant, my bank account sucks, im stressed out about everything all the time and dont have a real reason to not drink. If I werent alone, I would have a reason to be sober. Maybe I should go to the doctor and get put on some kind of anxiety bitch-pills. What medication would make me not care about being alone everyday and not caring about how every girl I meet is a self centered raging whore? Because thats why I drink so much.
>>7765495
Benzos are just more sedative hypnotics like alcohol. You want to know the real cure? Self actualization.
>switch from alcohol to opiates
>body thanking me for it, no legal troubles either (caught 3 duis from drinking)
would recommend
>>7754178
Anyone living in CA with a medical rec for dispensaries should try some of this stuff if you're going through alcohol withdrawal.
I was feeling really sick the other day and I took some of this and slept for a good 10 hours after being up for 2 days unable to sleep, woke up and drank a half gallon of purified water the next day...felt like a million bucks. Haven't had any cold sweats or anxiety, no urge to drink.
>>7765519
>3 duis
>now i do opiates
yeah.. pieces of trash like you should get the death penalty before you kill someone who isn't a waste of breath
stop trying to get sober and start trying to get honest.
until a drunk gets honest, you going to be standing in the same place for awhile
>>7765520
Das it mane, x1000 times this; if you're not in a medical marijuana state / area, and you have access to insurance and a doctor, a script to klonopin / valium / benzodiazepines work wonders, but aren't as safe as weed. They can be kinda addictive so be careful as not to replace one addiction with another.
for my 4th dui after I got out of jail they made me do this course. anyway part of it was we had to add up how much money alcohol has cost us. god that was a wake up call I'd suggest you guys do it as well.
It wasn't jail, house arrest, broken bones, withdrawal etc that me stop it was just realizing how much fucking money I've wasted on this bullshit drug. Anyway taking into account all the cars I've wrote off (5), fines, lost wages due to jail, hospital, hospital fees, the cost of alcohol it's like a proper drug habit etc etc I've lost over 90k AT LEAST on alcohol which is a huge amount of fucking money to me. in that course one guy had lost over 300k (2 expensive cars and he went to jail as well, lost his high paying job)
so maybe you guys who aren't stopping even though you're fucking ruining your life, sit down and really work out how much you've spent on alcohol, and ask yourself if it was worth it. actual money you could have had and done something significant with, you know for your kids or a house or travel or anything really than just drinking yourself to sleep alone what a fucking waste
also I would reccomend to quit you get yourself some valium or k-pis about a weeks worth (say 30mg diazepam a day or mg k-pins) - don't get addicted either it's almost as bad as alcohol just not as fun- and go to the doctor and get a script for disfulrum, and literally just take it every day force yourself to. this will make you have a horrible allergic reaction to alcohol and prevents you from drinking
good luck, and when you quit youll realize just how much it was affecting your sober life, waking up hungover every morning

look up cold water extraction. I assume you have opiates and apap it's real easy to separate the two

I can buy bars of xanax for $5 but they actually make me want to drink because it triggers the same gaba receptors in the brain as alcohol.
I knew someone that was prescribed klonopin to wean off the withdrawal symptoms of alcohol and he killed himself by drinking too much and taking all of his pills at once, he wanted to die though.

It's reality co- alcoholics cannot exist

try a harm reduction approach if you want to keep drinking. Honestly, just make it a little safer for yourself and minimize the consequences so at least you don't fuck everything, and you don't have to stop-- just manage it seriously anon!!
