/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I really wanted this set when I was a kid. Love looking at old toys/games when I'm spiraling down.

Anyone else get sharp pains in their right side?

>>10137781
Probably liver or pancreas. My liver pains are very dull

>>10137781
Sacroiliac joint, left kidney, right kidney, liver, head, eyes, neck and large intestine.

>>10137781
Define "sharp".

>>10137795
funny, you started drinking to kill the pain, look how good it worked.

>>10137797
How are people allowed to be this stupid?


The opposite of dull, Fucking retard.

>>10137797
There is a clear difference between sharp and dull pain.

>>10137799
Still works as long as I don't sober up

>>10137797
It feels like a rat is chewing through my ribs

I can't have any reflective surfaces in my room when I drink. I just caught a glimpse of myself reflected in my lamp's base and it made think of how much a loser I am. Probably why I hate bars that have mirrors behind those display bottles.

>>10137817
That's actually the perfect reason to have mirrors in your room, when you think about it.

>>10137836
You're probably right.

>>10137754
I don't know where to ask so I come here for your knowledge. Do you drink certain brands of alcohol, or do you just drink whatever is in your reach and hope to sleep forever until you wake up next day?

>>10137859
At my local store I've found a beer with moderate cost, great taste, and high Acl/vol. So that's all I really drink unless they run out, then I switch to cheap red wine. You would think they'd order more beer seeing as I buy it every single day.

>>10137859
I have my preferences, but ultimately I'll drink anything. Except beer, I just can't handle it anymore for some reason, the stuff actually just makes me sick.

>>10137877
My local store would totally stock their sections based off what I was drinking. Their selection of Rossi wine got huge when I was pounding one or two of those jugs a day. Same with their cheap tall boy sparks hard lemonaid malt liquor skunky type stuff.

When I quit drinking, the stopped stocking that shit all together. That was kind of an eye opener.

>>10137877
>>10137879
what do you recommend me for starters, besides beer?

>>10137896
Starter alcoholism? I dunno, whatever agrees with you the most. go find some cheap wine and see if you enjoy it.

>>10137896
>besides beer
Can't really help you there m8. What do you normally like? If you like wine try some cleanskins (is that a term outside of Australia?), they're really cheap gets you smashed.

>>10137896
everclear

>>10137888
Carlo Rossi jugs are what my roommate used to drink. He would carry one of those huge fuckers by one finger at parties

>>10137906
>>10137910
how's kraken rum ? I've seen it and wanted to try it sometime

>>10137919
>everclear
I was thinking more of pic related

>>10137859
I went through so many phases of my alcoholism. For one, Sake was always my favorite, if I could drink nothing else besides that I would have, but it's fairly pricey and hard to find near me.

I think I started out on really cheap beer, like Genesee, I'd buy a 30 pack and do nothing for a few days but pound those and play videos games. Then I moved to wild turkey....I don't remember a lot of those times. Then I switched to that 120 proof smirnoff vodka, I spent a lot of nights just laying in the shower, with the water running, vomiting....like literally all night.

Then I moved to cheap wine jugs and boxes for some reason. I always puked out my window for some reason on those.

Then the stores started stocking Sake more around here (maybe just because of me because I'd buy any the second I got it) and I got back on that fucking hard. Mixed quite a bit of Jack daniels with that occasionally, and I was a total fucking mess. I almost killed myself one night and quit after all that.

>>10137953
It's a spicy rum. Nice mixed with cola or ginger beer. The price would prevent it being a daily drink for me.

>>10137954
what the fuck led you to such extremes senpai?

>>10137953
You're going to have to learn to keep it simple. No spiced anything, no top shelf nothing, just straight up booze.

>>10137963
No idea, It might not be a shock that I don't remember the exact thought processes.

>>10137963
>>10137969
I started drinking when I was 18. I vividly remember the years when I was 18-21, but since then I basically have no memory of anything. I'm 26 now.

>>10137960
I'll probably buy one to try it. It's not expensive for a one-time

>>10137967
watcha recommend? I have zero knowledge. is 160 proof and above too hugh to begin with?

>>10137969
>>10137976
what do you do now? are you even functional members of society?

Have a girlfriend for close to six years, 5 years living together.
She knew right form the beggining the fact that I'm an alck, didn't mind at first years. Then came few bad years, when I became abusive with her when I was drunk, but only when SUPER drunk. Once a month. Not physically, but emotionally. Shit like saying get out of my house and so on. Didn't leave because she really loves me. But it stopped, and all is well.
However, I think I am about to loose myself soon.
When my girlfriend is home, I drink 2-3 times a week, 4 beers or bottle of wine at time, for just a slight buzz. Occasionally get fucked with friends when she's around.
When she's out of town I drink every single day she's gone.
And now her job requires her to move around a lot, a week there, a week here, sometimes more time away.
And as I've said, I drink everyday she's away, 90% of times alone. But I don't drink til I get tipsy or drunk, I drink til I get DESTROYED. Last night I drank 12 beers and 3 wine bottles. the day before it was worse. And I had no off days from work, and my collegues didn't even notice, because I am in constant state of being hungover, they think that is my normal state of being.
I think I'm digging my own grave, and digging it super fast.

>>10138000
You summed up my last few years accurately. The key difference is she did leave me because during those periods when she'd be away for work for days at a time, and I was getting proper hammered, I couldn't cut down my drinking when she was home. I don't mind that she left because I was only using her for money and sex - never considered marrying her. It will happen eventually to you anon unless you get your shit sorted.

>>10137781

mild groin, right side neck/shoulder area and spleen pain.

>apply for jobs
>end up getting drunk a couple days later for like a week
>check phone, bunch of missed calls
don't think i'll ever become employed again at this rate
oh well debt ahoy

>>10138013
What about friends? because I think I am loosing them too, by choosing to drink alone and watch a movie instead of going to bars with them. Why is this happening? Why do I conciously choose a life of a shut in?

>>10137981
>watcha recommend? I have zero knowledge. is 160 proof and above too hugh to begin with?

Bicardi 151 is a little harsh, but if you can handle that then you definitely show a lot of alcoholic potential.

>>10138029
I am >>10137976 I have no friends and live alone. Lost them well before my ex left.
>Why is this happening? Why do I conciously choose a life of a shut in?
Sounds like you need a change of environment. That's what I'm doing anyway, moving interstate to start my life over.

>>10137992
Uh...some would argue with how functional I am. I don't drink anymore. I basically act like a handyman for my family and such, I still can't find any jobs because I've been unemployed for over 10 years. Still trying though, sending out apps and stuff.

Other than that, I write books and short stories and stuff. Have had a few SS published, no luck on the books yet but maybe one day.

>>10138000
I'd say your analysis seems correct, anon. Your girlfriend knows the difference between sober you and drunk/hungover you, it's only a matter of time before this comes to a head. At some point, the desire to get fucking loaded will outpace the desire to work and/or generally function effectively. You're in the honeymoon phase of abuse acceleration.

>>10138045
>SS
you write shota, anon?
joking.
but good luck with that m8o

>>10138039
but it's been discontinued and it's sold at $150+

>>10138057
I had one girlfriend who wasn't quite an alcoholic, but drank quite a bit. I remember I could tell if she was drunk just by the look in her eyes, just by the first three words she said to me. She would always try to hide it, not because she was ashamed but to just see if she could trick me. She was always amazed I could tell. No real trick to it though, drunk people just act differently than they normally do, even though the drunk people themselves think they're acting totally normal.

>>10138063
Oh fuck, I'm behind on the times then.

>>10138065
>even though the drunk people themselves think they're acting totally normal
I always have this thought in my mind when I'm absolutely plastered, trying to walk and act normally, while going shopping for food or more booze.

>>10138057
My work is very directly connected with alcohol, so I dunno.
If I were to quit alcohol per say, I'd loose my job and years of training for that. What a stupid loop.

>>10138079
I remember i was in a big chain grocery store at like near midnight, buying wine. No idea why I chose that store, but I was hammered.

I remember I walked up the checkout, set my wine bottle down. The checkout girl took a step back, and said something like "Uh, we got a tener five doubble 7" or some shit. Then she like really quickly rang me out, and I started walking away and somebody started talking over her radio and she goes, "It's ok, he's leaving,"

So I'm walking out thinking, "Man...was she talking about me? What the fuck was her problem?"

Wasn't until I got to the exit, where there was this huge mirror and I notice I'm kind of stumbling as I walked, I hadn't shaved in like 2 weeks, and I had bright bloodshot eyes.

Totally felt like I was normal until then.

>>10138089
So...your job basically says, ok you NEED to drink ON THE JOB, or you WILL absolutely loose your job?

Or...you just happen to have a job where you're around tons of alcohol and you can't help yourself?

>>10137781
Yea, right there at the last rib bone. Been like that for a year or two now. Viva la vi.

Doesn't matter. I have nothing to live for - nothing to die for.

>>10138137
>I have nothing to live for - nothing to die for.
You're supposed to find something. Nobody just gives it to you.

>>10138094
Think 10-577 was their lingo for robbery or something?

>>10138144
I've been around the sun 30 - something times and haven't found a damn thing. No career calling, no personal calling, no motivation.

I have a girl that puts up with me and a kid on the way. I'd love nothing more than to leave them and my job and live in a shack in the middle of the woods.

Oh God, my job. Almost beat the shit out of several cunts today. Dunno how I've been employed the past 4 years.

>>10138171
>I've been around the sun 30 - something times and haven't found a damn thing

Then you're not looking very hard, there's tons of shit.

The problem with finding a purpose in life is you now have responsibility, you now have to be devoted to something bigger than yourself, you can't be a selfish little kid sitting a corner refusing to talk to everyone else. It would mean maybe you have to drop all the bullshit, and grow up a little. A lot of drunks aren't really prepared to do that.

>>10137754
Second day detox here. 18 hours since last drink.
Sweating like a pig. Over the initial Jesus is but still have the runs like an absolute champion but that was nothing uncommon the past 10 years lol.
I'm gonna make it /ck/.
All the best to you all. Don't turn out like me at 40 with only $5k in the bank and a great job I quit last Friday basically bc I was still half-drunk arriving at 7am and had had enough of the state manager so just left at 11am. :/

Does your liquor store cashier know who you are?

Do you ever buy stuff while already drunk?

Have they ever laughed at you?

I think I just shit out like pure fat. Part of the shit was like real shit, and part looked like fuckin squash or mashed potatoes, but yellower

>>10138258

At the one liquor store the girl there kept trying to make conversation with me, I think she might have been hitting on me. She was cute, but seemed a little weird...i dunno, I honestly think she was working at the liquor store in order to find a new abusive bf she could be co-dependent on.

The other chick worked there was a literal bearded lady. I liked her because she was a such a miserable cunt that she never said anything, never seemed to recognize me, just rang my shit up and let me get out of there.

Also I think I was fucked up already like 100% of the time I went to the liquor store.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>10138387
F

>>10138387
lol, ya done goof'd

>>10138258
I go to different large box stores bi weekly or monthly and stock up. I've had cashiers ask me if I'm having a party before when I buy 6 handles of vodka at once at 11am. I usually just make them feel very uncomfortable by saying "oh no, this is all for me. I'm a crippling alcoholic. I'll drink this all in 2 weeks" then they shut their fucking mouths and mind their own business. I hate when cashiers think it's fun to talk about my purchases or question me about what I buy and when. Do your job your job and mind your own business you fucking whore

>>10138441
>"oh no, this is all for me. I'm a crippling alcoholic. I'll drink this all in 2 weeks"

What's really sad, is we know for a fact you don't actually say this, it's just a fantasy.

anyone have any idea what could cause you to collapse? i have clear memory up till i collapsed then i just woke up in my bed

>>10138476
Uh...being drunk?

>>10138466
Lol okay.


Like a real alcoholic gives a fuck what a 22yo Walmart clerk thinks lol

>>10138441
>>10138466
Calm yo tits.

I pop in to buy a handle way too fucking often and rotate between stores to hide my shame; but I'm friendly with them and mention the change in weather or laugh about how the city won't order them to trim the hedges at the blind intersection despite 4 crashes.

For all they know you are buying for a restaurant, or work at a venue, or they don't give a damn. Chances are they see plenty of drunk people and aren't as judgemental as you think. You shouldn't give a damn either. Try to get your shit together.

>>10138211
not tapering at all?

>>10138506
Kys you stupid soccer mom. No one buys 1 handle at a time while joyously talking about the weather like life is grand

>>10137781
Wouldn't hurt to get on ebay and pick up some Liv52. Meatheads use it to protect their livers while taking oral steroids - much more taxing on the liver.

>>10138605
alcoholism is just addiction, and it doesn't need ridiculous aestheticizing like it's the sign of some inner pain like a fucking Bukowski poem. Tons of people have drinking problems without acting rude to everyone around them.

Get some antidepressants and CBT

welp, I shit out blood today.

>>10138621
Well no, Alcoholism is just a symptom of the real problem, which actually is some sort of inner pain right out of a fucking bukowski poem.

But yeah, not all alcoholics are rude assholes to people just trying to do their job.

>>10138647
Meh, call us when you're bleeding shit

I got a date this weekend bros but I need some help. I've got a weak ass dick and basically ED, was going to pick up some yohimbe from gnc to see what its all about but online I see some weird stories about combining it with alcohol.

I literally cannot socialize without alcohol what do?

>>10138647
prolly just hemorrhoids or a little tare. I've had that. Woulda shit my pants seeing blood drip out my ass ... but thankfully I was still on the pot and had emptied bowels.

>>10138656

>>10138656
Just ron jeremy and danni daniels it, choke the base so it looks hard.

>>10138672
>choke the base

>>10138621
Not him but kys

Normies memes are mean :^(

>>10138258
I've had multiple grocery stores say they can't sell because I'm shaking like a shit and ask them to use my card for me lol

>>10138258
>Does your liquor store cashier know who you are?
I'm a regular but they don't know my name.
>Do you ever buy stuff while already drunk?
All the time.
>Have they ever laughed at you
At least not in front of me.

>IRC doesn't work


Shocker

>brothers wife makes me a nice hot meal once or twice a week because she's always concerned about me


God damn that's a good feel.

She can cook like there is no tomorrow, and there is something about a woman who genuinely cares about your well-being making you dinner and making sure you are OK once or twice a week that makes me feel gud.


Too bad I can't fuck her.

>>10138735
It does on my computer :^) I'll PM you the fix.

>>10138754

I think you're taking entirely the wrong message from her gesture.

>>10138798
I just appreciate she cares about me so much, I would never ruin the relationship with my brother just to fuck her once.


That doesn't change the fact she's a literal 10 and I have fantasies about her.

I just don't act on them, Even at my drunkest.

>>10138754
Shes worried about you because you are pathetic and helpless. That shouldn't make you feel good.

>>10138811
lol, I make more money then her and her husband combined. How is that pathetic?

It makes me feel good she is caring and family oriented. An that she takes the time out of her busy week to make sure I'm eating and have a hot meal from time to time.

>>10138811
yeah, she's also trying to uplift him, give him a brief glimpse of a better life. She's probably also tiring that you don't take the hint.

>>10138823
>lol, I make more money then her and her husband combined. How is that pathetic?

What the fuck does money have to do with anything? Obviously nothing, seeing how you yourself feel as if you have nothing. Man, you're actually a huge fuckhead, stop talking.

>>10138827
You're a fucking moron. The assburgers is eating you alive bud, Time to see a doctor before you Lanza somebody

>>10138835
Lol k. Well stay happy with all your money and alcohol, sounds like you're really living it up bud.

>>10138823
even very rich people can be pathetic drunks.
>she takes the time out of her busy week to make sure I'm eating and have a hot meal from time to time
as one might do for a homeless person. she pities you, in my honest and unironic opinion

>>10138845
>pathetic drunks.

Are you forgetting where you are?


I'll cry myself to sleep tonight while I try to forget making 182k a year from my couch and being a "pathetic drunk"

>>10138861
>I'll cry myself to sleep tonight while I try to forget making 182k a year from my couch and being a "pathetic drunk"

It sounds like you kind of already do that though...

>>10138861
You know AA is also filled with tons of ex lawyers and such who begin their lead with, "I used to have it all..."

>>10138861
I'm not sure what money has to do with anything. It should not make you feel good that somebody worries about you being alone and not eating. The gesture is kind, but you are not entirely realizing what it says about you and her opinion of you. She is sad for you, regardless of how much money you make.

>>10138861
Hey man, we're all equals here. You don't have to pretend you're better than anyone else. This thread isn't about how dope your job is or how much money you have. It's about how we all get wasted way too much

>>10138387

We need to go deeper.

what's a good way to clean puke stains out of the carpet? the lingering smell of four loko blaze is triggering me

>>10139399
man, that is the worst. i had a bunch of spilled IPA under my carpet and it was the middle of summer. nauseating smell. what you want to do is get warm water with a little soap and keep pouring it on the floor and then throw a towel on it and walk on top of it. do it as many times as necessary. or rent a liquid vaccuum from the grocery store.

>>10137888
>2 jugs of Carlos tossing day
bullshit

>>10137896
Screwdrivers got me going. Until I was dry heaving bile during a morning shower. Get help before you're pic related. I'm 37, what a shitty ride it's been anon.
>>10139445

>>10139445
Sure i did. The 2.5 liter ones though, not the 5l.

I remember pretty regularly having my room basically littered with empty 2.5 jugs. Was always fun at 3 am in the pitch black when you accidentally kicked a big stack of them, you can't imagine the clashing holocaust of clinking that would make.

>>10138650
Pretty much what this guy said
Anons who say otherwise are just underaged spoiled retards

>>10139463
>have speakers up
>start new tab
>google.com
>hear a noise
>Wonder if 4chan is about to blast my ears with meme sounds
>sound is actually google.com

I peed a little

>>10139469
Okay was gonna say. My low point was trying to drink 3 of these per night. Would blackout around 2.5. and drink the warm piss in the morning. I would clean the shit out of the kitchen to counter the guilt. That, WoW and gaining 60 lbs definitely caused my divorce. And I was a cheating fuck. Sorry for the blog, I do not miss those times. No kids though.

>>10138650
That's why so many alcoholics fail, and are destined to fail at quitting. They think all they need to do is just focus on not drinking. Well no, because you are going to continue drinking, no mater how hard you try or how temporarily successful you are at quitting, until you deal with the root issues which are causing you to compulsively drink.

>>10139496
>cheating on your wife in WoW
I forgive you

What's the most patrician drink?

>>10139496
>my divorce

I can't quite get why divorced and abandoned al/ck/s put too much weight on it, like their relationships with some thot they pretend too hard wasn't just like any other woman was something they will never get back or something

t. married guy

>>10139496
That shit is rough, no idea how people can drink it. I wasn't even man enough for those, and I drink most anything.

I knew this teenage kid who would pound those, he'd give me like $5 to buy a bunch for him. Kid ended up in a party in the woods one night, he walked out on a trail on his own and passed out face down in a mud puddle drowned. I always think I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of something I bought him but...I guess it doesn't really matter, I at least attributed to it overall.

>>10139513

"It's either Cooper's Stout, or you're getting knocked the fuck out".

>>10139505
No it was irl. It was a long time ago and a 9 year marriage. I don't know what thot is. I lost all the weight and drink sparingly now. It just fucks up your concentration for days, even after the hangover. I switched from drinking to obsessively working out. My dad said I just switched one addiction for another. Pissed me off at the time but he was right. As others have posted, drinking is just a symptom and not the problem (although it becomes a problem on it's own).

>>10139513
probably gin or hennessey

>>10139555
Your looks are on the 5% of these threads', buddy

>>10139519
That's a horrible story and I'm going to pretend it's fake. You gotta drink the first one ice cold and burp out the taste. Salty food helps too. Euphoria kicks in and it gets easier from there.

>>10139555
I'd say fucked up nutrition in the US at least. I don't get why most men my age at around 5'6''-5'10'' when all my dad's friends and their dads ar elike 6'-6'6''

I feel so puny and I was all state defensive lineman. All I do is want to sleep all day so my mentallity was why not drink, and play vidya all day?

5'10" on the nose. I live in NYC now. I see the whole range. The only time people are taller than me is when I have low self-esteem for the day. And idk why this tall meme became a thing.

I have these dark circles under my eyes everyone asks if I shoot heroine, I also feel like killing myself most of the time. Doesn't matter how much I work out, I think it allergy related.

Need help. Liquor stores are closed, shakes are coming in. Resorting to this, which of these should I not do. Please just need to last a couple more hours.

My buddy was shot in the stomach in Vegas, lost parts if his colon, and will wear a colostomy bag the rest of his life. I've been best friends with him 30 years. Even worse is his drinking has escalated and he's very angry, and also quit therapy. Not to try and one-up you, it just came to mind.

If you're seriously feeling that way, it's no coincidence you're in this thread. I implore you to get help man. A lot of therapists work on a sliding scale/pro bono if you're a poorfag. There is no need to suffer. It takes a lot of energy to feel that way. Regarding your eyes, that's female/gay mans territory. Try /fa/. It's out of my area of expertise. Stay positive anon. Seek help. A lot of people care about you. I'm sure of it.

Good shit senpai. Wish I could sing but I'm tone deaf and my voice is shit.

That's 30 liters of 94% alcohol.

What's that, like 1 1/2 years of alcohol, being way optimistic, for an al/ck/?

That's %ABV. Not azeotropic, but nearly.

I'm curious, why is tomato paste added? I thought an easy neutral spirit would just be made from sugar.

>>10139832

>>10139838

Yeast needs nutrients and minerals. You can't just do sugar. It will die fast. There's a thing called yeast "attenuation", it's how fast the yeast dies in the alcohol environment. You need to curtail that so the yeast doesn't create a bunch of shitty flavours while it dies.

Tomato is key. Or a bunch of expensive nutrients, if you want to complicate your life.

>>10139838

It costs me about 120 bucks to make 30 liters of near azeotropic alcohol. Basically 3 bucks a bottle.

Doing well.
Property through marriage and death.

Not an alcoholic. Sneaking drinks currently.

But God, I drink a lot.

>mfw seeing a beggar but I don't have any spare change because I need my money for alcohol
I wonder if they once thought the same thing years ago?

>>10139871

When I'm fucked up I give the winos stupid amounts of money. There but for the grace of God go I.

>>10139869
The key phrase relating to alcoholism is dependency. After a stressful day at work, can you go without a drink?
>sneaking drinks
>I drink a lot
I hear ya, neither of that makes you an alcoholic by definition. If you're doing well at work and at home, and can willingly not drink, then you should be fine.

>>10139871
There's one ocassion that's been stuck in my mind since then. I gave a poor woman 300 pesos (around 17 usd), and her eyes got bright like a lamp.

"Mis niños van a comer huevito!"
(My kids are going to eat eggs)

I don't usually give them money, but I always give them food, beer or water. Who knows if someday I'll be in their position.

>>10139884
I do well at work and at home.
I'm at vacation in Florida right now.

My wife is "sleepimg" and I am slipping away to guzzle my dad's nice booze.

You unironically should. Maybe it would be a wake up call. Money is meaningless when you're a lonely man with crippling alcoholism.

you seen the fucking spiders too? I thought it was just me.

I used to see these totally realistic giant fucking tarantula fuckers crawling around on my walls. Scared the hell out of me the first time I saw them, but I figured out they weren't real because they moved to wherever I was looking. Only happened when I was hungover and strung out, never when I was drinking.

Normally I weigh in between 150 and 155 at 6ft 0. I will have a single drink that will cause a binge that will end up in my not eating for a week. Lose 10 pounds and have to gain it back slowly. Shit sucks. But I do admit when I’m under the spell it is quite nice, I love the high alcohol brings. Everything else just disappears, and I have money in the bank so who’s gonna complain?

I used to drink heavily for a few years and stopped and now only binge drink and drink a shitload of coffee throughout the day. Now the night after I get terrible hypnic jerks and my heart goes crazy, but the two days after I'm fine. Is this normal?

went cold turkey last thursday after my wife found out how much i was drinking. about a year ago i tapered down from about 12 beers a night to nothing but then crept back up to about 8 beers a night over the last few months. i was worried about withdrawals after reading about "kindling" but surprisingly, i had none at all. just cravings. i need to lose about 20 pounds, so i'm trying to make that a focus. i lost 25 pounds after i quit last year but have regained 10.

>>10142012
exactly the same here after boozing.

My doctor says it either Oesophagitus or Variant angina onset from the withdrawal of alcohol from my system (right when the blood alcohol level goes from 0.0something to 0.nothing.)

Dunno. My hands and feet tingle though and I'm told it's because of something called alcoholic neuropathy. Drives me fucking crazy. One of many things which make me drink more.

>>10138258
The guy at the gas station a few blocks from my house is a nice guy and we usually chat for a couple minutes when I come in. I only buy two six packs a week from there though because I don't want him to worry about me. I'm sure he knows I go to a bunch of other stores during the week too, but I pretend that he doesn't.

>>10142236

Oh. All of mine were brand new. Threw up on., pissed on, dropped, had stolen, lost or otherwise ruined thousand upon thousands worth of hardware. There's an £800 phone floating somewhere in the British channel which I'd owned for like 4 days, and a brand new thinkpad which didn't last a week. I just bought 2 new laptops, a new phone and a 1700x desktop, and I'm just v e r y careful now.

>>10142786
The noise by the way, is bound to just be a rekt fan. Laptops are notoriously infuriating to fix though without specialist equipment. I'd just use it until it conks out, personally.

hey anon.

>>10142829
I got about 50k in student debt, and another 20k or so in credit card debt.

Didn't really give a shit about it when I was drunk. Now that I sobered up I try to get jobs to pay this all back, but they won't hire me because of poor credit. Weird how that works.

Not yet. I'm staying at an ex's place while mine sells, but apparently nobody wants a vomit-saturated dosshole filled with shards of broken vodka bottle. I'll probably end up in Yorkshire. Got a couple of friends and ex's up there and it's cheap enough that I can spend a few more years drinking without having to work.

I lost my wife finally.
I continue to hide in my neighbors storm celler and browse the internet on their wifi.

>>10142887
Sounds precarious, anon. Many here are just a few days away from surprise homelessness. Shit bites hard and fast. What's your story? I'm petrified of being homeless. I'm in a stupid amount of debt, all secured on a house which won't fucking sell, and I'm hopelessly addicted to both booze and illegally-procured benzos. Of which as of tonight I've run out. For all I know I'll be kicked out tomorrow and my credit cards will be turned down at hotels. Almost all friends and family have disowned me, I've no driver's license any more and even my passport has expired so I can't fuck off to a third world country. Hanging on by a thread here.

>>10139871
>>10139875
i think alchies tend to be pretty generous with the homeless for a variety of reasons. obviously, a lot of it is empathy and knowing that our roles could easily be reversed under slightly different circumstances. i also think i do it for "good karma", or at least to feel better about my shitty self and my shitty drunk actions. and of course, there's the fact that alchies are already used to pissing their money away.

>>10142986
With a few drinks in me I'll give out $20s. I think
>knowing that our roles could easily be reversed under slightly different circumstances
really hits the nail on the head.

>>10142998
I've dished out 50's. Not even kidding. You think your life is hard? Try being homeless. I've given them thousands and I'd give them more if I could.

I'm coming off of a 4 day bender and just hitting WDs, but I have a decently hot date for valentines day tomorrow. I'm conflicted if I should ride it out, and probably feel like shit for the date, or just keep drinking. But I know if I try that, I'm not exactly good at moderation

>>10142942
I am lucky I have a check coming in for $125 bucks tomorrow. I have a van full of clothes and the gnomes have left me alone now that they got their fun.
Gonna just kick back and enjoy my paycheck tomorrow

>>10143017
I don't think I've ever been on a date completely sober. Much better than alcohol though, is a little dab of MDMA. Not sure how well acquainted al/ck/ is with it and not wishing to impose fresh hell on anyone here, but anyone who has taken MDMA with girls will understand that this is another level of sexual enjoyment. Absolutely impossible to not get laid, and my fucking god, the sex is... well. You'll see.
Shame she'll feel suicidal for the next 2-4 days and never want to speak to you again due to serotonin depletion, but... wow. Simply, yeah, just wow.

>>10143030
Oh hey gnomebro.
Be careful with that license, dude. Losing it closes a million doors. I lived in my car before I learned web design and had some cash, without that I'd have probably been homeless then and would almost certainly have died by now.

I get Sasha Grey vibes from Tay Tay. Porn when?

how do i compel myself to do job applications?

>>10143017
nice job on getting a valentine's date, anon. i might have a couple in the next coming days, one with an ex and one with a tinder girl. problem is i can hardly afford one date, let alone two. i'm also afraid i'm leading my ex on. i care for her, but i don't have the heart to tell her i'd rather just fuck other women than be in a relationship right now.

>>10143086
fucking immediately please.

>>10143007
just make sure they're actually homeless though, there are a lot of fake homeless out there trying to make money off of peoples generosity. Used to know a guy that would routinely take home 2-300$ a day taking advantage of good intentioned people like you

>>10143122
I used to hang out with them when I was on crack/smack. You'd be surprised how intelligent, articulate and capable some of them are. They just hit a dead end for whatever reason and life sharted them onto the streets.

>>10143017
also not sure how i should approach my alcoholism and my upcoming first date. it's been on and off with my ex for the past 2.5 years, i haven't had a single date in that timespan. clearly, i don't go in sloshed, but i don't wanna risk tapering too hard and being a shaky, nervous, agitable mess either.

>>10143132
Maybe pocket a half-bottle of vodka and take a cheeky swig if you don't feel right. I've near-always got a 35cl in my jacket.

Hey al/ck/, I'm losing my primary source of income for valentine's day. Do I drink the last booze I'll have for a while or get high on my xanax stash while I spend the next two days masturbating on cooldown?

Today's the day I go to my therapist and I've already started drinking at 8am.

>>10143151
If you have xanax, use it to get off booze before you run out of those life-saving little pills.
Or like me, use both daily like some retarded hedonist and end up in hell as soon as you're depleted.
Withdrawal is no joke, dude. Going cold - or even tapering, without benzos, is horrible. Especially if you're already used to the cosy benzo life with decadent booze on top.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Also gimme dem zannies pls.

>>10143162
Nothing to be afraid of as long as you're honest with him. You wouldn't be going if you didn't have issues with addiction.

>>10143162
Do you think he can tell you've been drinking?

>>10143151
Booze. Use the xan to taper.

>>10143151
Diazepam and chlordiazepoxide are the ideal benzos for tapering because of their long half life, but alprazolam is still a lot better than nothing for avoiding withdrawal

I would strongly advise against using xanax to "get high" because that will only make the problem a lot worse in the long run

>>10143239
>>10143210
>>10143176
I'm a different anon here. My ex GF from the US, when she stayed at my place for a bit, had this small orange tube of meds for her spinal reconstruction (fell off a roof). I got drunk one day and had a headache so I took a few, and became immediately high. I wonder what if it was benzos? I never told her, but I was craving the fuckers for a few days.

3 days sober. Only have like 3 shots of vodka to my name. Mom will be suspicious if I leave the house.
Wat do

>>10143268
probably painkillers of some sort

>>10143270
leave and don't come back until it gets late enough that she gets worried, but not so late that she calls the police/changes the locks. you gotta hit that sweet spot of "oh thank god you're okay"

>>10143268
I often see people in these threads saying that benzos get them "high". In my (extensive) experience it's not really a 'high' at all, it's just a subtle feeling of relaxation and calmness. If you're in a state of alcohol withdrawal, then being in a state of even the most subtle calmness is a fucking different dimension from the hell you'll otherwise be enduring. This is why i take benzos, i don't take them to get high.
I'd guess that what you took was some kind of opiate. I was given morphine and tramadol for a while because of extreme spinal pain. Those do feel quite cosy and will make you feel a 'high'.

>>10139742
I have went to resteraunts and bars and just bought a carry out of beer/wine, usually wine.

Yeah I met a handicapped vet who was on disability and other Bennie's, lived with his brother, and still went out to beg on the streets to cop a cool 100 a day just panhandling.

My wife's birthday was 5 days ago, she told me that what she wanted for her birthday is for me to be out of her life and go learn to be happy, so I would quit bringing her down.
2 days ago she left me.
Happy valentines day indeed.
I really made a mess of things.

This guy is right.
Or if you have to have liquor buy a smaller bottle so you wont be tempted to drink the whole bottle with a bigger one.
Just buy 375ml bottles.
or get beer
