Guys i need help
Im addicted to the booze
Worst of all my drink of choice is
4loko
I drink like 4 of them a day
I quit like 24 hours ago
I want to drink so fucking bad
If I buy just one will it help me taper off and eventually quit? Or do I have to go cold turkey?

You guys redpilled me on degeneracy but this is so tough

Im very anxious and starting to shake

If you can handle it, try drinking a 12 pack of cheap regular beer. Drink 1 then stop wait until the shakes start then drink another. until the shakes competley go away.

Find AA meetings and go to them every day. I would avoid the book sessions, but all the other ones are good. After a while (it depends on your addiction), it will get easier. times of stress/loneliness will be a fucking bitch. You will be at your weakest then. 2 months sober here

>>73344354
I only have the pennies for a single 4loko
I say 4loko because its the cheapest for the amount of alcohol it has

>rice crispy cereal

NOW FAGGOT, YOU GOT THAT?

>put butter marshmallows and rice crispy cereal in bowl (note:do not melt anything befor hand/do not skimp on the butter/lots and lots of butter)

>when microwaving BE SURE NOT TO MIX IT TOO WELL/BUTTER MUST BE DRIPPING ALL OVER THOSE MARSHMALLOWS AND CEREAL.

EAT A TON OF IT. I MEAN A FUCKING TON. WHOLE BOXES OF CEREAL, HUGE BAGS OF MARSHMALLOWS. MANY MANY STICKS OF BUTTER

What in the fuck are you talking about

>>73344162
upgrade to spirits + cola

less calories and neurotoxins than beer, and cheaper too

then just start reducing the dosage, go from 100ml of spirit per glass, to 80, to 60, to 40, etc, and eventually quit altogether

never by beer again, it costs too much money and makes you fat

beer and wine is for faggots

Alright dude, I went through THE SAME
THING.

Go to your local Vitamin Shoppe and look for something called "5HTP", it helps with getting off booze, the shaking and that feeling you get when you just need it, its some sort of vitamin I think

Seriously, i had to drink 3-4 beers every day just to sleep, taking this shit made me transition off easily.

Buy the 100mg one with vitamin B6

Take care, brother, I know how hard it is
>>
>>73346149
That is not how that works for alcoholics. That works for 15 year olds who got caught by their parents. I could drink myself to death before that happened to me. Also, I know so many folks that were forced to quit smoking by smoking a whole pack. Know what happened? They kept smoking.
>>
>>73346212
Thanks.
So cold turkey it is then? Fuck i could claw my eyes i want to drink so bad
>>
Start jogging or if you cant do that go on a walk, avoid liquor stores on your route. If thats not your thing go to the gym, do anything to clear you head. You wont die if you stop drinking. You will die however, if you continure to drink 4 4 lokos a day.
>>
>>73346277

>>73344557
I think you have things backwards. You should be INCREASING the amount you are drinking. Perhaps even switching to hard alcohol. You can do it! I believe in you!
>>
>>73346334
Nah man, it doesnt have to be cold turkey, take one pill about an hour before you usually start drinking, if you have to drink, drink one can. Eventually after about a week or two you will lose that feeling of "needing booze"

5JTP is also loaded with the chemical that helps your brain make serotonin, so it will make you feel all warm inside


Seriously, buy that shit, it changed my life

>>73347029
No insurance, exactly 3 dollars, just enough for 1 last 4loko.
Had to give up pot because I smoked up to 14 grams per day. I am worse with weed than alcohol. I actually switched to alcohol to stop smoking weed. I can go back to neither. I must be sober. Yes, I am fully aware how much 14 grams per day is. For a while it did not cost me any money.

No problem, bro!

I just remembered, in case you want to go cold turkey, but are having trouble sleeping from lack of alcohol, buy MELATONIN, you can get it at Walmart for like $11

Take anywhere between 1-5mg and in about half an hour you will sleep like a rock, but mixing alcohol and melatonin will give you a very sucky hangover

Take care, and remember, if you need a bit of booze, there is no shame in drinking a bit to take the edge off

Depends, you probably aren't a severe alcoholic so cold turkey. If you have real withdrawal symptoms you will need a doctor to tell you how much to drink.

Your best bet is to get really invested in a hobby to take your mind off things. Start running, become a gym rat, get really invested into a video game, you want to get in the state where you forget to eat and don't even feel very hungry after wasting the whole day.

hey anon, I am also an alcoholic who was having problems drinking. I make decent money so I was spending 10-15 bucks a day on microbrews and decent wine. It's easy to drink tons when the shit tastes so good. I'd say I averaged 8 beers a day for the last 3 years. Then I'd drink 2 liters of club soda before bed to hydrate and get some electrolytes.

Trouble is that it all caught up to me and I developed an ulcer. I literally cannot drink for at least a month while it heals or I feel like total shit. So, it's been a blessing. I've been clean for a week and a half now. I had no physical withdrawal symptoms like shaking or anything like that.

If you do, quitting cold turkey can be dangerous, you can seize up and shit. You need to go see a doctor or rehab place to ween off safely.

If you don't then QUIT COLDTURKEY. One trick is that your body is so used to all the extra carbs that part of the physical craving is actually for carbs which your body associates with alcohol.

Thus, eat sugary shit! I ate an entire pack of cookies one night. Eat candy, chocolate, fucking anything with sugar. It helps the cravings.

Also try milk thistle, it's supposed to reduce cravings too but I didn't use it. Check for other herbal remedies but don't go too crazy in case you have liver damage.

You should go get your liver enzymes check to make sure you're good on that.

It gets easier everyday. I only thought about alcohol once or twice today and it was easy to brush off. I don't even need sweets anymore. Good luck bro.
>>
Try drinking 3Loko for a while then step down to 2Loko and keep tapering down.
>>
>>73352184
The number is inversely proportional to the strength of the loko. 2 loko is too loko 4 you.
>>
>>73352111
Doctors can also prescribe you pills that you take that, when mixed with alcohol, make you feel hungover as fuck from a single drink. It's called antabuse or some shit. Maybe that's an option for you.

If you're an extreme alcoholic this could actually make you die.

Look, this is serious shit.

If you continue to not drink, you'll eventually start to hallucinate. When the panic sets in, your heart rate will spike into fatal territory and you'll begin having seizures.

You need to go to an inpatient detox facility. They'll give you benzos at first, monitor your oxygen concentration, heart rate, liver and kidney function, and keep your magnesium and folic acid levels high. When your hallucinations and seizures stop, they'll start to taper you off the benzos (I got IV Ativan and oral Valium).

It's scary shit, but you'll come out of it. You can't quit on your own if you're bad enough off.

You really think handing yourself over to a higher being (god,allah,hitler) is the right thing to do?

Im an alcoholic, ive used drinking to numb my thoughts since my dad passed away, i was 15 years old. While ive slowed down and learned to control it now at the age of 29 if i drink i won't want to stop. But i can... as long as i have something else going on in life that requires me to be sober like work or driving.

I beleive you just need to time your drinking and limit it to 1 day a week, maybe 2 or 3 if youre in holiday mode. Aa is just a cash grab to fund the churches. Churches stagnate the world.

Never consume the liquid Jew
It only can ravage the life of you
Friends and family will disapprove,
"Do not imbibe in that jewery brew,
your mind will stale, your organs will stew."
And in your stupor you had no clue,
You were already fooled by the tricky Jew.

While you were weak, the illness grew.
Your finances flew, your health did too
And know you wish to start anew
But, alas, your time is through
We always knew,
We warned you too.

Dear OP, wait it out and buy some nootropics online.

Get some piracetam to heal your brain.

I drank at least a half bottle of whisky and 10 pints of beer a day for two years. Now it's 2/3 beers once every 2 - 3 weeks.

Each time you feel like having a drink do something to take up at least half an hour of your time.

Good examples:

1.) Get your gym kit and go work-out for 90 minutes. Put Yoga into your routine. Do Cardio. If you get alcohol cravings every day, which you will, then get your gym kit. Do your routine.

This will help ease the cravings off.

Other things that helped me were a change in diet, which involved making good quality home cooking.

Don't quit cold turkey. You can die from the alcohol withdrawal and not to mention, you'll feel extremely uncomfortable the rest of the night. Instead, drink tonight so you're not withdrawing and go get help in the morning. Or you can try tapering yourself off the alcohol, but don't do it alone. Go get help.

I've been riding the line for far too long. I hope this helps.

1) I'm not gonna tell you to stop drinking. If you want to go cold turkey, call the ER. You'll need a proper detox.

2) If you are serious, you can do an Irish detox. Count number of units (don't BS yourself), you're gonna half it per day until you get to 2. Once you are down to 2, without freaking out, you are back on planet earth. Go fuck yourself from there.

3) Water and vitamin B. B complex, B12, eat and drink enough so you are pissing hourly and it's a golden rainbow.

4) Work out. Run, jump rope, whatever. It helps a ton.

5) Get to a CVS and check your blood pressure when you are feeling jitters. If it's over 160, you might want to call a doctor.

6) Most docs will be super cool. If you need to clean up, they will help you clean up with minimal judgement.

I plan on going cold turkey soon anyways.

My friends are pushing responsibilities on me and I need to take care of them. Helping them move and settle in, social shit, etc.

I've done it before and I'll do it again.

14% alcohol by volume (at it's strongest) by 695ml cans.

That is literally pussy shit.

OP pls

>>73356339
The 4 of them was serious. Never less than 4 per day. Some days I would get to 6, I'd black out after 4 and find more cans than I was expecting in the morning. My black outs were getting scary so I have cut back from that about a week ago.

Come back here when you're on liquor.

Unless you chug those all at a time, that's nothing. It absolutely has everything to do with alcohol by volume.

I drink 750ml of 45% (alberta premium Dark Horse) shit every day.

Four 4 lokos throughout an entire day would be my pre drink.

If you're still here, let me tell you some things about addiction. Cold turkey can work, but it's not likely and requires strong willpower, which you most likely don't have considering you're posting here for help. What you need to do is schedule and regulate how and when you drink. You can transition to drinking wine, only drinking during certain hours of the day, to only drinking certain days, but the end goal should always be 0 consumption.

Personal example. Addicted to weed, dabbed every day. While hard, I told myself to stop doing it in the morning and I let myself do it again at 5:00 pm. First week I fucked up twice, but good news is I regained day time sobriety 5 days a week. Now I can push myself further and go 7 days a week with daytime sobriety, then weekends sober, and over time you can marginalize your addiction to where it's non important to you. Once you reach that point, THEN going cold turkey becomes relatively easy.

Last thing to note, you should always question why it is that you drink. The more you develop a curiosity into yourself and WHY it is that you drink, the more apparent and rewarding sobriety becomes. Watch some ted talks on the subject, and while you won't get a definite answer, it'll give you a place to start. The hardest part is starting a regular and routine method of reducing your consumption, but once you realize you have the power to change your habits, even just marginally, then you can keep going step by step until you're at a place where you're satisfied. Be that complete sobriety, or just daytime sobriety 5 days a week, you need to decide what you're after and you'll reach it eventually.

>My depression is killing me faster than my drinking

Are people really this retarded? Alcohol is a fucking DEPRESSANT. Even if you fucking quit it, your body is going to stay depressed for months because it's been accustomed to being physically depressed for years. You guys are fucking cucking the shit out of your lives by being dependent on it
>>
>>73356669

Thx drunkbro. I'll add a few more tidbits of a highly functional alcoholic.

7) benadryl is your friend for sleep after you get down from crazy to normal levels. you won't sleep well. benadryl will help. 100mg if you don't need to be on-point first thing in the morning. 50mg if you do. 25mg if you need help late in the day. it's basically a muscle relaxant, it helps.

8) L-Glutamine. I only recently discovered this. I take way more than someone probably should, but it kept me smooth when I didn't have access and needed to appear professional.

9) Jerk off. There is something about jerking off that helps.

Good luck, and if you are clear enough to read this, you probably don't need the help. If not, go to an acute care center.

he's talking 6 24 oz cans of 14% drank. that's like 16 drinks.

>Personal example. Addicted to weed, dabbed every day.

Weed has literally no physical repercussions for quitting, you dumb cunt. you don't get shakes, twitchyness you can't control, heartbeat 100+, restlessness, hallucinations, terrifying nightmares, etc when you stop smoking weed

0/10 opinion fkn dropped.

this. Im not very deep right now at all. Im stage 1 and it still takes me at least 400ml-ish of 45% to feel it

Sleeplessness is something over half of everyone struggles with in the first place though. It almost shouldn't even be listed as a symptom.
>>
>>73357799

Don't even get me wrong. The only thing that is going to really help you with the shakes is to slowly ween yourself with booze, or go to an ER and they will ween you with benzos.

Do NOT lie to yourself about how much you drink. If you were doing 24 units a day, you need to keep drinking for a few days, 50% a day until you are back to normal.

B12 and complex ARE VERY IMPORTANT, as your shit's all fucked up and you need it. '

The remainder are anecdotal, but, ... I speak from experience. they help a lot.

Weed is weird. Dabs arent weed, dabs are mainly thc. Thc stimulates cb1 receptors and can trigger things like anxiety and paranoia. Other canabanoids present in weed, such as CBD, interact with THC in such a way that regulates where the THC binds to. CBD is present in regular marijuana and causes THC to bind with cb2 receptors instead of cb1. Pure THC can result in lots of awful side effects like early onset of schizophrenia, paranoia and degyrification of the frontal cortex. Withdrawal from THC can and has included for me at different points of my life, night terrors, insomnia, loss of appetite, headaches, anxiety/paranoia. All things regulated by CB1 receptor sites. It's not nearly as difficult to quit as alcohol, but it does come with its share of difficulties.
>>
Fuck, I'm glad that I got off this train. I still like to drink too much, but it is thankfully rare now.

I'm a fucking rail of a cunt at 5'11'' and 120 lbs, but I'd be downing 2/3 a handle of Sailor Jerry's damn near every night. Wake up hungover to all hell, and cut that shit with more liquor or beer.

Blacking out every night is hell on a man.

Good luck to all.

you're speaking to the wrong person.
I drink every 2 or 3rd day. usually around 400ml of vodka/whiskey or 2 bottles of wine.

I have noticed my hands are a little bit shakey over last two months or so. Always worse after a night of particularly hard drinking.
>>
>>73358432
I thought 4loko was just a typical 24oz beverage with caffeine in it (if you're lucky)

Once you start abusing liquor bottles, it gets more scary fast.

Read my posts again, faggot.

I've done this and stayed sober for months, going cold turkey.

The shakes and other physical symptoms last like a fucking week. After that it's pure psychological.

It will only kill you if you've been doing it for like a decade or more, non stop.

As for the "total ride", as I said before, physical symptoms last a week or so - but the serious ones die off after only a couple days of lots of water, sweating it out through working out, etc.

It won't kill me and I won't be hospitalized. Canadians are the strongest, more resilient shitposters there are here. Perhaps you're bred from a weak as fuck bloodline?

>>73358598
>The shakes and other physical symptoms last like a fucking week. After that it's pure psychological.

That depends entirely on how long you've been drinking for, and how much you drink. A heavy alcoholic of 10 years will not have had good REM cycles for nearly a decade and could go multiple weeks experiencing hallucinations of some sort and like a month experiencing other forms of withdrawal.
>>
yeah, my stepfather was an acoholic and would drink at least 2 liters of vodka a day.

four 4lokos is literally casual.

its funny i've done all manner of drugs and sometimes for briefly extended periods but i'd just get bored with being high and not do it anymore. and the 'withdrawals' always just seemed like natural response to a feeling, you have to feel the opposites of everything you feel in life, that's pretty much just karma. sometimes as i was getting sick of heroin or meth or alcohol or acid i'd look forward to withdrawal, and wake up on the first day off with the same happy feeling that i got the day i started using.

maybe you should just learn to like withdrawal.

Speak for yourself. It affects us all very, very differently.

Some of us can just up and quit without much withdrawal, others, not so much.

Notice how all articles on this shit say it CAN kill you, it CAN do this or that, but none say it WILL.

>>73358838
>>73358929

Thats also my point. I'm 22 for christs sake, I have been doing this for like a year and half. I'll be fine.

Which I've done before.

The only thing I don't look forward to are the hallucinations and the nightmares. But whatever.
>>
>>73358891
I stopped getting hangovers a while ago. I basically drink open ended. I am on "summer retirement" but work out of town every other week to make extra money. The weeks I am in town and not working, which should be relaxing, are kind of a hellish haze of drinkathon. I'd rather be working honestly.

I was managing anatomy labs for medical/vet schools and tried to stop drinking but the nightmares wouldn't end. I just want my nightmares to stop, they are filled with the gore and terror that I would shrug off at work, but when I am asleep, at the mercy of my subconscious, all those images that I stuffed deep down come back in haunting distortion.

Past experiences or experiences I didn't have the balls to take part in.

Sometimes they'd be flat out nightmares, like someone is trying to beat the shit out of me and I'm fruitlessly running away or something.

Other times, I'd be taking a really hot girl I used to know out, and it would go flawlessly. Then I'd wake up and face the harsh reality.

Either way, it is extremely vivid and you remember these dreams for days to come.

and i do recommend phenibut, they give it to treat alcohol addiction, and it just makes you feel calm and relaxed, it'll just cover up the aches of WD. its like 15 bucks for a big bottle off of liftmode.com. its considered a supplement and its prescribed to help people sleep, social anxiety, addiction, that kind of thing, its a irregular anxiolytic chemically similar to gabapentin and baclofen. great stuff.

if you have a long term problem, you can start studying ibogaine, and if you're very serious and have some sort of spiritual culture where you can create context for it, ayahuasca.

ibogaine pretty much resets all your craving syndrome software settings in your brain, people take it for one thing and stop smoking, eating badly, being lazy, and in general get their shit together. have not tried though. its like a 3 day ordeal where you won't be able to get far from your bed though, and you pretty much just exist in a dreamstate where you relive your life, from what i can tell.

Oh, those are just bad dreams my friend.

Just two nights ago I dreamed that I was an officer going to issue a warrant to search a house of a suspect in a murder case, when we got there he came out with a gun and shot at me twice, feeling the bullets cut through, and I though "this son of a bitch, he fucking killed me" and fell to the ground. My 'spirit' then rose above my body and I could see myself bleeding out in the street. I then saw him get shot down and went in his "house", it was really a run down shack, and looked around. It was horrifying. There was a pile of parts, not just human, but open dog carcasses, arms, heads, cats, just chopped up parts coming out of the closet in a pile. He had been reassembling people an animals as a hobby, dismembering them and playing with their parts. I'm talking about nightmares that leave you screaming in terror inside your mind until you can wake your body up. Not losing a fucking wet dream.
>>
>>73360401

I mean, I could go into detail like that, sure, but for the sake of me currently being shitfaced, I choose not to.

But I know exactly what you're talking about.

I would spend half my workday just thinking "what the flying fuck?" at my dreams.

One dream I had of gigantic spiders (basketball sized) was so vivid that when I woke up, I jumped out of bed, turned my lights on, ran downstairs (two story home) and grabbed a hockey stick to try and bat the spiders.

I had to giggle to myself at the time how ridiculous it was after the fact but fucking christ my bones were filled with terror during the whole thing.
>>
>>73360691
Usually it builds up into some kind of twist at the end that scares the shit out of me. I can even feel it coming, and suddenly my body erupts in sheer terror.

Does anyone have experience getting rid of the nightmares? It may be the only reason I drink anymore. I will say, and to answer my own question, I do not have nightmares when I work out of town. It's 12 hours a day of landscaping so my body is so exhausted I sleep well at night. Maybe I should start endurance training on my weeks off.
>>
>>73361216
>Does anyone have experience getting rid of the nightmares?

Look at who you're replying to, friend. I have experience.

It lasted about 3 days for me. After that, it's just plain insomnia for the duration of withdrawals. I mean it's still shit, but it's better than dreaming about gigantic spiders so vividly that I need to wake up and run the fuck out of my room.

You can't help them, bottom line. You can't help your brain getting rid of current drugs, even if it means replacing them with something else that helps other symptoms. It seems to be the one symptom that sticks with everyone I've talked to.

Just gotta power through that shit bro. Best of luck.

It was a very intense night of dreams.

I think it just formatted my dreams for the night but I get that kind of vivid realism all the time. I also read in my dreams which I've ready many times is 'impossible'

Go cold turkey off alcohol and caffeine. Set a goal to look forward to in some fulfilling aspect of your life. Do a monthly cheat day with a friend, where you both are allowed alcohol/caffeine on just one day per month to get the urge out of your system.
