>>10598874
Don't worry, It'll happen soon

I love white wine!

3 days sober and I already feel less erratic emotionally

For me it's the McPabst. The best cheap beer sandwich.

I have no idea if the alcohol I abuse to deal with my anxiety and depression is causing my depression.

>>10599025
I was depressed way before I ever took that first sip of alcohol. For me, alcohol works better than any pills they forced down my throat as a kid.

>>10599025
I feel so sorry for you ;' (

>>10599039
I've been drinking hard since I was 13 so I dunno

>>10599041
Thank you, I love for attention and pity

>>10599025
Fuck off Joseph, maybe it's the murdering that causes it? Bonnie did nothing wrong.

>>10599057
Based

Made it 6 days now. Still not feeling the urge to drink but I have been awake for 32 hours so yay for that little surprise of quitting. Loaded up on warm milk, chamomile tea, trickling mini foundation near my bed, and sleeping mask. If that doesn't work I guess I'll just die then.

>>10598873
i shot my old phone a couple days ago while drunk but i did it inside my house

>>10599125
It happens. I'll save my shooting my roommate's TV for the next thread.
But since being jailed and beaten up by the police (I didn't think they really did that) I've removed the pairing of guns and alcohol.

Really saddened because they banned drinking at my favorite place to chill with bums in vienna. What else am I gonna do in the morning.

>>10599172
I love Vienna, amazingly beautiful city

>>10599115
keep it up man, the worst will be over soon. I've been hanging around at my mum's house while I taper off, it's been nice. Back home and to work tomorrow though, that's when I'll really have to start using the old willpower

>>10599196
While it's not underrated, it's definitely overlooked. It's probably the most beautiful city in Europe aside from Zurich.

can someone explain what the purpose of a shot and a beer is? i see oldtimers get this combo all the time at my local dive bar. what is it called?

>>10599221
you chase the shot with the beer, makes it easier to stomach

>>10599221
The irish car bomb?
Can't order that here in the uk for obvious reasons but I should give it a go some time.

>>10599221
shot = spirits so you actually feel anything. shooter = normie drink so it's less disgusting.

>>10599221
getting drunk

>>10599221
Boilermaker.

You shoot the shots and drink the beer. It's a comfy way to get drunk double time.

>>10599254
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilermaker_(beer_cocktail)

It has all kinds of names apparently.

>>10598829
I just noticed that both me and my partner at work are having the shakes right now so at least I'm not the only piece of shit at my company. Anyone else work with fellow alchies?

Ended up drinking four days in a row after I promised myself only to drink friday. Oh well

>>10599312
every goddamn time

>>10598829
Just drink at home like the rest of us depressing fucks

>>10598829
That bottle looks familiar

My dui charges got dropped. My lawyer is a beast.

>>10599060

>>10599337
>Can the Prosecution PROVE that my client's blood sample wasn't contaminated by air particles?

My dads an alcoholic, 55 years old. His liver is failing, he shakes, and his mind is nearly gone at this point. I've tried to break him out of it, every which way I've read about. Kindness, love, uncaring, mean, forcefully. Nothing works.
I really hope you anons get some real help for your addiction. I'm by no means perfect but I've seen first hand what it'll do to your body and mind over time. Not to mention what it does to those around you and how it'll ruin every relationship you have.

You all know this though. You've heard it all before I'm sure. I'm not religious but I'll keep you all in my thoughts. I know what hell you're currently in.

What does al/ck/ think of this beer?

>>10599362
buy him an ounce of weed.

I know this a faggy comment, but all I need right now is a hug and someone to tell me it's going to be better. All I want is for it to be better.

>>10599373
He already smokes weed while drinking

>>10599382
oh ok. well at least he'll be drinking less then. maybe it's just me, but i don't like drinking at all if i'm high.

>>10599380
We're on your side mate.

>>10599312
I managed to keep it to three this time.

Hop on lad.

>>10599337
congradulations, i drink drive so much its only a matter of time till that happens to me! hope u stop

>>10599462
Why do you drink and drive though? I never think I'll be able to fathom why people do this unless I ask

Is a case of miller lite a week a reasonable amount?

shit myself at work again lads. booze is fucking up my GI tract

>>10599497
What did it smell like

>>10599491
because i can

>>10598873
Sue to get the body cam video. Find and show lawyer. Maybe get a settlement for excessive use of force?

>>10599581
Assuming the department doesn't "lose" the footage. Police are not to be trusted

>>10599562
I hope you crash you cunt.

>>10599599
"losing" footage only helps you make a case.

>>10599601
i hope you crash too bud

let's all crash in a big fuck off bus

>>10599612
I won't because I'm not an irresponsible fuckwit, that's willing to put other people in unnecessary danger by driving drunk just because "I can"

>>10598869
>grammy gives me $20 every time I visit her
>visit her once a week
>have sufficient beer and munchie fund
>mfw

>>10599621
t. has never drove drunk

to you 4 beers over a few hours is probably driving drunk

>>10599621
>unnecessary danger

But you do put people in necessary danger?

>>10599634
Mugi is cute, can I have a hug from you?

If I ever die from liver failure, this was the culprit

>>10599651
How do I put people in danger exactly? How are you comparing someone who barely leaves their house to someone that drives when they're intoxicated?

>>10599646
No, it's not.

>>10599670
>he barely leave house

>>10599653
Sure

>went to the doctor
>bp was 153/101
>drank a shit ton these past two weeks

need help with at home detox. how many sips of vodka do i need for maintenance? ill be drinking green tea and lots of water and orange juice.
any advice is helpful. thanks!

>pulled a muscle
>icyhot helps a lot
>research how this shit works
>acts on GABA
>immediately pull it off and throw it away because hypocondria

fuck me

>>10599731
Depends on what your normal daily dose is innit?

Also, switch to beer if you can. It's way easier to taper with beer and it keeps you more hydrated.

How do you drink, al/ck/? Social drinkers? Drowning your loneliness in vodka, all alone? What's eating you?

>>10599731
just drink if you feel you have to. simple as that.

>>10599906
social drinker mostly, but i get drunk at home a lot because its fun

feeling suicidal again. i don't know why i survive, why do i fight constantly if i near enough never enjoy any of it?

>>10599906
Social when out with friends. Alone with rum/vodka and sports drink mix (hydration). Job is incredibly stressful. The first few years I handled it but kind of lost my will power. I use it to decompress and not worry about the next day. I'd quit but it is the best job I've ever had and I'd never get anything close to it without a bunch of schooling. Daddy has gots bills to pay.

>>10599731
No hard liquor just beer. Drink just enough to feel buzzed and stop. Wait another 2 hours and have another beer. Climb yourself down but remember you got to have the will power to just drink enough not to go into hard detox. They are not fucking fun.

>>10598950
Picked up a 6-pack last night after seeing how cheap is was ($7 for 6 x 16 fl oz compared to $10 for 6 x 12 fl oz).

Only took one sip to realize why that was the case. Got me good and drunk, though.

>>10599039
>pills they forced down my throat as a kid
Maybe your depression has something to do with your parents being retards.

>>10599923
Everyone feels suicidal at some point in their lives. You don't really want to die you just have a problem and don't know the answer or don't want to admit you got a problem with the booze. Because then if you really want to get better you have to give it up and it is the only thing that comforts you currently. Got to ask why do you drink?

>>10599906
I use booze to tolerate company so that's where it's most essential but I love drinking on my own the most.

I drink anything and everything but just sitting in the yard with a beer and a rollie and something to read is peak pleasure desu. I tend to overshoot the target with liquor but will beer I can just keep coasting beautifully.

>>10599955
i've been to docs, shrinks, psychiatrists, therapists, AA, detox, rehab, all of it. nothing works and my life is fucking miserable. i don't know if i want to die but i'm pretty certain i don't want to live.

>>10599948
Why is beer so expensive in America and liquor so cheap?

>>10599906
Drowning my loneliness, sorrow, and boredom.

My best friend moved away and the company I was working for got bought out by idiots who were sinking it. Then I moved to be with my family because of a crisis and my health started failing. Turns out my sisters had been sexually abused since childhood by a family member so they ended up being sequestered for a long time. It cost me a ton of money and a lot of my possessions got stolen during the move. Then one of them was forcibly OD'd on dirty heroine by her boyfriend. After they got stable I moved again hoping to find a job near expended family but they live in a rural area with no demand for my skillset. Another half of my possessions were stolen out of the truck during the move leaving me with about a fifth of what I used to own and almost no money.

So I'm boozing, watching all jobs in the surrounding towns/cities regardless of the type, doing shit like refurbishing my great-great-grandmother's dresser that my family was going to throw out in my living room while watching Sirens on Hulu. It's a water-damaged, split, piece of shit but I think it will look cool once I break it down and give it a dark mahogany. And it was free and a distraction from going through my college textbooks again, reading United Sates postal codes, pressing shirts, putting my resume on job sites and comparing them to other resumes, and tearing my hair out.

>>10599961
Going to a shrink for the first time ever tomorrow. What to expect? Do I tell the truth about the booze?

I made it through the nasty wds that lasted 3 days and I have been sober for a week. It is doable bros and life is so much less bleak on the other side

>>10599977
i've only been twice, both for assessments with shrinks. they asked a few apparently irrelevant questions then discharged me. not nuts enough i suppose.

>>10599115

get melatonin and benadryl too. like 100mg benadryl will knock you out

>>10599906
Been NEET for the last 2 months since I finished college and am on the job search. I drink every night by myself to combat boredom, but hate day drinking. Prefer to drink with friends

>>10599970
Now that's one hell of a mess. My sympathies.

>>10599931
What job?

>>10600006
Oil field work.

>>10599984
>100mg benadryl
Got a shit load of tea laced with mela but I'm trying to give my poor kidneys and liver a break from drugs like bena.

>>10599906
I don't drink all that much now, but it's mostly alone. Work is boring and so's the GF. Kids are grown up, only the youngest live with us. Been homesick like hell since I moved here 23 years ago. Only been able to stand it because I can visit my folks and friends fairly often even if it's an all day drive. Pretty much the only time I feel all right is when I'm 3 beers/drinks deep and accelerating. Of course, if I drink several days a week I feel like absolute shit and get insomnia for days, so I don't really do that anymore. I have these threads to thank for motivation to ease up, so I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you all for that.

>>10600030
You're welcome

>I'm the guy who had the liver transplant

what do you lads think about this beer? >>10599949

>>10600042
>dessert in a can

>>10599731
here
how do i know when i need to start being worried and go to the doctor? i literally just told my other doctor tht i feel great today.

>>10600056
its from a norwegian brewery lad

>>10600056

>>10600066
It's because of corrupting American influence.

>>10598829
How many of you dudes experience heart palpitations? Shit is scary.

>>10600062
The onset of my liver damage was violent puking and feeling like I had the flu. It lasted three days. Then I began turning yellow over the course of five months. I then went to the doctor and they told me I'd get a new liver by Christmas (this was September).

Now I have a new liver and I don't drink.

>>10600076
Why dont you try some and make your own mind up? Its delicious

>>10600084
Alcohol enters your blood. Your blood goes through your heart. So, yeah. It affects your heart. Drinkers die from heart attacks.

>>10599731
Start with 14 standard drinks (beer is usually recommended but you can use anything as long as you measure out your drinks and have the willpower not to overdo it) on your first day. Try to space them out throughout the whole day so you're not getting trashed. The next day do 13, then 12, 11, etc. until you get down to 0. Boom, two week at home detox. Best of luck anon.

>>10600087
what's the price?

>>10599977
It's a giant waste of your time mostly, assuming you're talking about a therapist. All they do is tell you shit you already know.

>>10600084
Yeah have had for decades. Sleep apnea too. Try jumping out of bed thinking you’ve stopped breathing while going through DTs.
Feel ill just typing that. Fuck.

>>10600114
£3.50 a can usually

>>10600086
how long and how hard were you drinking that gave you liver failure?

Ive knocked out like 4 handles in 2 weeks. no my best time. im sweating like nuts right now.

>>10600084
I get thousands of pvcs and pacs every day punctuated by occasional afib. Can't even alcoholic right and die of liver failure like everyone else.

>>10600182
750ml or 1.75?

20 to midnight. feel hyper awake and twitchy. zero chance of sleeping tonight and no weed to make things cosy. awesome, lets get some of that exquisite restless leg syndrome and regretting of every choice i've ever made.

>>10600239
try some basic yoga and stretching? could take your mind off it and help keep the shakes down

>>10600086
How painful was the liver transplant? I'd imagine they have it down to a science at this point but that still has to be some intensive surgery. How about recovery time, were you in the hospital long?

>>10600149
could get 8*500ml of lager for that money m8

>>10600259
already have. meditation too. been on this ride for a while.

>>10600239
When I'm at that stage I just start pacing the house for hours.

Feels good man.

>>10600275
no you couldnt.

>>10600285
i can, i do it all the time

>>10600233
1.75

>>10600305
>I was doing the same if not more for 2 years
I'm scared. Fuck did I just fuck up the rest of my life? I'm not having withdraws or side pain or vomiting. Did I make the cut in time? I never really ever got hang overs or felt terrible the day after and when I would take a week off for fasting I didn't break down. Fuck I am going to lose my mind if I shitboxed my body at 26.

>>10600295
where do you shop and what brand of drink do you get?

>>10600331
https://www.vomar.nl/Schutters-Pils-Blik-4-Pack

perfectly adequate off brand belgian lager

>>10600285
Where'd you live, lad?
I'm a filthy eastern euro and that's the bottom of the barrel beer. Like, I legit wouldn't drink it even if it was my eight one.

>>10600342
netherlands. it's not the best beer but decent enough.

>>10600341
>>10600342

prices arent that cheap in the uk unless you go for special brew and shitty cheap value ciders

1.75l anon checking in. Still alive, sober for a few weeks now. It’s raining outside and I’m all cozied up with some grilled chicken and steamed veggies with rice, pretty nice desu. I can’t eat much on this renal diet but I’m finally pissing again, it seems like my kidneys are coming back. More dialysis tomorrow, hopefully my bloodwork comes back looking good.
I still enjoy reading all of your stories, but after getting through wds it feels great to be on the other side.

>>10600262
Everything about it sucked. It was painful. I left the hospital after two weeks with no pin medication despite having intense pain. They sever your abdominal muscles and nerve branches. It sucks and I don't recommend it.

On the bright side, I'm no longer yellow and severely sick. They wait until you're literally about to die before you're transplanted.
.

>>10600362
Gf is being kind of a dick about me dying on her, but I’m sticking it out. I’ve been staying with family and it’s really nice to remember that some people do still care. I’m glad I moved back.
I still have my own place in town but it’s comfy to stay with my folks and not have to cook or clean.

>>10600362
you were the cunt with the husky right?

congratulations on getting sober. how old are you again?

>>10600383
I’ve got no pain meds either and so many of my ribs are broken from cpr, in addition I get wicked bloated from water and it gives me a toddler body and increased pain on every possible level/ swollen everywhere. I’m stoked for dialysis where they’ll wash my blood and suck some water out of me.

>>10600362
Recap everything brand new here. Actually if you could answer this
>>10600327
I am sweating blood right now thinking I boxed my liver.

>>10600182
I was drinking 1.75 liters of Evan Williams per day for three months because of a tragedy that took my wife and kids. Maybe it was more. But it was at least 1.75 per day, every single day.

>>10600407
3 months?! that is all?
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

>>10600407
did your body survive?

>>10600386
Jesus christ anon. I really cant judge but I think you just warned me....I mean I know I have a problem.

>>10599231
Irish car bomb isn't a shot of a pure spirit though

>>10600407
Jesus, three months was already enough to warrant an transplant?

>>10600407
>a tragedy that took my wife and kids
I'm terribly sorry.
Unless you were responsible - then fuck you

>>10600400
Good luck.

One thing I've gained from this is tolerance of pain. Also - zero dignity. There was a period of not being able to control my bowels. I just shit myself wherever I was without warning.

There were a lot of downfalls. When you're dying, everything in your body begins to fail. That includes your brain. Hepatic Encephalopathy makes you dumb. No joke. You become dumb and do dumb shit like forget where you live when you're only one block away from home.

>>10600397
Yeah, the elkhound/husky is my lil goober. I’m 21 but was drinking daily since 16, and upped it to 1.75l/ for about three years straight. It was a fun ride but would not recommend/ 10. On the bright side I’ve realized that my addiction was almost purely physical (but brought on by me having nothing better to do than fuck off and binge watch stuff), since I was largely under for wds they slapped me with a few k-pin patches to keep me from seizing. I’m glad I wasn’t coherent for the most of it, because my wds were nasty every time I woke daily, so many shaky shots and glasses of ice water.

>>10600443
any permanent damage?

qt dog btw

>>10600432
Just three months. I was yellow like a banana. I don't remember anything that happened during that time, obviously - being completely drunk. I have hazy memories of going to the liquor store and buying a case of 1.75 liter bottles at a time.

>>10600405
What do you want to know?

>>10600457
I’m not sure yet. I’ve been diagnosed with renal failure but it hasn’t been diagnosed as chronic yet, they’re hoping I’ll bounce back because I’m young. Otherwise it’s dialisys for 3 hours 3x a week for the rest of my life because I can’t piss on my own. Apart from that I’ve got some nerve damage in my toes and the back of my head (from falling). I can’t really feel the back of my head, when I lay on my back it feels like I’m just holding my head up even though it’s resting on a pillow. I still have a huge gash back there, so I hope that heals.
Thanks about the dog, I love my pets and don’t know what I would do without them. He’s a real lady killer but I don’t have any use for that because I’ve been with the good ol’ ball and chain for so long.

>>10600418
That's a good snack. I used to take that as pogey bait when I was in the army infantry. Are you a veteran?

>>10600462
Am I fucked? Roughly 5-7liters a week for 2 years more or less. 26 years old male. No signs of damage or side effects I can feel. Color is good, never got painful hang overs the day after. No withdraw symptoms when I did stop drinking for a week at a time. Maybe 4 times total over the years I woke up with gut rot and puked all day but that was sucking down 2l+ in a night. This last one convinced me to take a week breather and I found these threads. Now I'm terrified I'm already too late.

>>10600485
You don’t sound too fucked, my dude. Sometimes these threads are a pity party and people using “muh wds” as an excuse for daily drinking. Make no mistake, if you keep it up there will be consequences- but if you feel fine taking a break I would definitely keep it that way. Good luck, anon.
Eat healthy, don’t drink on an empty stomach, eat lots of cranberries.

>>10600485
If you can't stop drinking at least switch to beer. You should consider saving your life.
Google how many people die each year from alcohol consumption. While you're at it, google how many people die each year while waiting for a transplant.

>>10600494
>>10600500
I'm fucking done. I drank because I was bored not depressed. I was using it as a mood enhancer not nuller. I had no idea how bad this got this quickly. Sorry for what happened to you guys but I want you to know you honestly convinced me to stop drinking.

>>10600407
1.75L of bourbon? why the masochistic congener carnage? you'd have felt so much less ill drinking vodka

>>10600482
planning to stay off the sauce for good then i hope? also, how's your liver?

good luck recovering senpai

I know nothing about alcohol nor do I drink, but my best friend does and he hosts parties frequently. His birthday is coming up and I wanna get him a nice sort of liquor.
I’m thinking of a vodka, but I’m open to anything. Can anyone help me out?

>>10600526
Nigga you just walked into an AA meeting and asked for juice

>>10600523
I think so. The only thing I miss is the warm burn and quick fix of the shitty feeling, but I’m looking forward to not feeling shitty all the time. There’s plenty of dude lmao around and if I get a job to occupy myself I feel like I’ll stay satisfied. Either that, or go back to school. I’m not sure what the future holds for me, but I have zero intention of going back to 1.75l/day. I’ll keep checking in on you guys, though.
And nobody has said anything about my liver, interestingly enough.

>>10600541
figured I’d ask the experts.

>>10600526
i like russian standard platinum as far as fancy vodka goes

>>10600526
Just get him some Tito’s and some juice. That’s a decent mid range vodka, won’t fuck him like plastic handle stuff- it’ll be fun to share, and you can always just make some hunch punch or mix with anything if he’s a bitch.

>>10600509
>honestly convinced me to stop drinking
lel

>>10600526
How fancy you wanna get?

>>10600407
>tfw just bought a handle of Evan Williams today

>>10599362
I have no relationships of any kind so it doesn't matter.

>>10600564
I’ll look it up, thanks!
>>10600566
This could also be good, because I believe he uses Tito’s a lot? That’s the corn vodka, right?
>>10600600
I’m willing to spend 50-70 bucks.

>>10600526
Speaking as a slav, there's three kinds of vodka: the dirt cheap garbage that'll kill you the next day, the vodka people actually drink and choose according to preference, and the overpriced stuff we export to the west because Americans don't know what the fuck they're doing anyway.
Got a link to the store you plan to buy from? I'll tell you my personal opinions on the vodkas I've tried.

>>10600611
I literally can't buy liquor for the house anymore. It destroys my entire life so immediately and intensely that I'm not capable of buying any to have a round anymore at all.

>tfw got a wake up call from my dad
>moved in with him last week
>got help from friends and family trying to get a job
>never followed up with anything because I would get shitfaced before 11am
>pretty much told me to my face what a pos I am

Feels good but also terrible, because I don't know if I can even follow up on my promises. It's not like I've never had job, or that I'm a virgin, but the idea of acting like a normal person fucking terrifies me to my core. I am a child living in a man's body.

>>10600668
iktf, this is why my method of moderation is buying a daily ration of beers and not more than that. even that doesn't always work.

The real wake up call is shitting your brains out because of the lactolose some nurse is forcing you to drink. Can’t even get up to the bathroom because you’re so shaky, so you end up taking a runny dump on the floor and having a 60 year old Haitian woman cleaning you up.

>>10600680
I'm basically the same as you except I am a virgin. It sucks. I don't feel normal about the idea of having a relationship at all and I have really serious thoughts these days about how I may actually never. I only feel comfortable talking to the 4 friends I already have, anything else is just shallow pleasantries until I leave wherever I am, like a bar for instance.

>>10600668
i can't even look at it, can't even think about it, it's fucking savage. i post this pic because it reminds me of the years of trudging to the shop in withdrawal every fucking morning to get more vodka. for months it was all i'd remember because everything else was blackout. i'd wake, do the journey, often in puke-covered pyjamas, black out and wake up what felt like an hour later, having to start again. i will commit suicide if i find myself living like that again. even have the pills ready just incase.

>>10600687
I do the same thing pretty much. 6 pack a day and a bottle of wine for backup. Went to the bar yesterday anyway and only had two vodkas, but still became infuriated and more depressive than usual just because of those two extra strong drinks. It's ridiculous.

>>10600718
I'm not a virgin but I don't have any friends, wanna trade?

>>10600729
henry VIII is /ourguy/

>>10600730
yeah i mostly try to stay away from liquor now because it always derails me. even wine and strong beer can be tricky but normal lager generally goes pretty well.

>>10600732
Ironically no because my 4 friends are the absolute most I have in this life. Trading them even to be married to a woman would be a mistake.
The whole virginity thing I just want to lose it and get it over with so I can not care about it at all. Prostitution is illegal here though and where I am I wouldn't even know where to start.

average wage in the uk is £22,044 ($29,898) and vodka here is around £20 ($27) for a litre. in the u.s the average wage is $59,039 and you guys seem to pay nothing for booze. plus you don't get locked in a cage to be beaten and raped for decades if you smoke a joint. maybe i'll just move to the u.s. how much do top hats and tea cost there? and will i get shot?

It's pretty likely. In fact, I just got shot yesterday in the supermarket.

the answer to all your questions is.... probably.

>>10600801
still probably comfier than my life atm tbqh.
>>10600807
i imagine you're doing so for work though, whereas i'd be looking at somewhere remote to live as 'off grid' as possible. all i really need is a place to grow/distill something/anything to ensure that i never have to be sober, some kind of food and water, a slavegirl who i can capture when i'm there, and a hedge to hide a tent in. a comfy corner in which i can just drunkenly shit myself to death in peace.

Trying to just stick to beer tonight after at least 375mL of liquor + 4-8 beers every night for several weeks. Only have 7-8 beers, not sure that's gonna cut it. Store closes in 2hrs and it's shitty outside, risk it with just the beer or get some liquor to taper?

>>10600830
I'm marrying an American grill, although it is somewhat rural

>>10600835
>tapering with liqour

>>10600841
I know, it seems mythical, but I've heard about it, just having a shot every couple hours.

>>10600835
you know how much you'll regret it if you need it later and you don't have it. i swear the trauma of that alone is enough to scare you off quitting at all. it's better to have it in abundance than in scarcity, it's easier to ditch if you can avoid the frantic times of needing it and not having it.

>>10600839
Sounds pretty lucky to me. I'm not always keen on more people coming into the country but I'm happy for you that you can get out of there and get married at the same time.

If it helps, I'm white

>>10600841
>>10600848
It's doable. I relapsed, but I was down to just a few drinks a day out of a carved silver shot glass.

I feel terrible but I can survive a day without liquor, just barely. Instead I prefer to pour a drink and tell myself to make it last a minimum of 3 hours.

>>10600853
You're right. Just reading that made me feel a little frantic. Alright, I'm saddling up.

>>10600869

s-so you don't want to come to my welcome party I take it

Hi, al/ck/

every day when i get off from my last day of work for the week, I buy a 750ml of stoli and destroy it. I do this every week, but only that one time. is this considered alcoholism?

>>10600903
Don't get me wrong dude, you're good.

>>10600835
if anything get more beer, but no liquor.

>>10599206
Eh, it's too mixed. Not even going full /pol/, I just feel like it loses a bit of its identity when the Turks who've gotten their shit slapped at the siege not so long ago are now half of the populace.
Architecture's certainly great though.

>>10600908
>Alcoholism, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a broad term for any drinking of alcohol that results in mental or physical health problems.[12] The disorder was previously divided into two types: alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence.[1][13] In a medical context, alcoholism is said to exist when two or more of the following conditions is present: a person drinks large amounts over a long time period, has difficulty cutting down, acquiring and drinking alcohol takes up a great deal of time, alcohol is strongly desired, usage results in not fulfilling responsibilities, usage results in social problems, usage results in health problems, usage results in risky situations, withdrawal occurs when stopping, and alcohol tolerance has occurred with use.[1] Risky situations include drinking and driving or having unsafe sex, among other things.

>>10600908
I mean at that point it doesn't really matter or not if it's alcoholism if you ask me. A big part of being actually alcoholic is if drinking has caused observable personal and professional problems in your life but you continue to drink anyway. Doesn't sound like you are that bad off.

>>10600930
professionally, no one i work with or even my family knows I do this. even when i go out to drink with co-workers or drink with family I only have two or three beers tops. But anytime I know ive got the next couple days off i get wrecked, but I do it alone at home listening to music and shitposting. personally, I wish I didn't because I dont want to have health problems, but every friday.. its like some tradition i cant break.

>>10600950
I would just say do your best to not do anymore than you already do. I don't think what you do is even close to bad, but I'm just saying.

>>10599115
Benzos or pot available?

>>10599634
>$20 per week
>Alcoholic

I spend that every day on vodka or rum

Got diagnosed with strep today. Drinking is off the table except in limited quantities. I at least have 2.5mg xan to deal with WDs.

>>10601005
>A bottle of rum every week
I just chug a 6 pack of high alcohol IPA in an hour and a half until I pass out every night. That way I only spend 100 dollars a week on booze

>>10600992
Nope. Plus I do not want to trade one drug for another. Just gonna have to work out hard before bed and drink lots of that camo tea and pray.

>>10599115
I find when I smoke pot I have no desire to drink. I just prefer booze to pot but thinking of making the switch.

I also have no urge to smoke cigarettes while on lot where as on booze I want to smoke cigarettes constantly.

>>10599221
Alcoholics can't get drunk off of beer alone. So you throw some shots in there but prefer the taste of beer.

I sat down and had a real heart to heart talk with my dad about my problems, and goddamn dudes I honestly feel like crying because it felt so great. Call me a faggot I don't care but it was better than any therapist.

>>10599337
I got a care and control charge. Which means you're near your car with your keys while intoxicated. I was helping my friend build a shed and was getting tools from my trunk as a cop was driving by. I had the trunk open, I look like a biker. He stopped and started questioning me as if I was stealing shit out of a trunk. Anyway since I blew over (barely) and had the trunk open (counts as a door open) and had the keys in my pocket I got charged. It's the same penalty as DUI. Really fucked my life up. Lost job because of it, lost girl cause I had no job for months and any decent job wants a background check and won't hire you if you have a criminal background. Anyway, I started working construction and do pretty well financially but that day seriously fucked my life up for like 5 years

>>10601075
>Which means you're near your car with your keys while intoxicated.

This is about as moral as a highway seizure of money that 'might' be for drugs. This is the evidence that America is an unethical, illegal shithole country.

America is the third world.

>>10601086
I'm Canadian

>>10601108

That's WORSE. Jesus Christ, I hate my country now.

>>10601108

what fucking province? I've got a bone in my teeth now.

>>10601075
i was about to call bullshit
until>>10601108

i realize this is probably the last place i'd get useful advice for this but how do i stop drinking once i start

i always ruin nights where i'm drinking because i get as drunk as i possibly can and get to a point where i end up wanting to kill myself and go home and lock myself in my room until the shame of what i did wears off

>>10601075
same in england. if you're "in charge" of a vehicle while drunk in a public place, it carries the same penalty as a DUI. no definition for what "in charge" means, but i'm certain i'd have been nicked in your position too. if i were to do it now, while banned for DUI, i'd have years of prison to enjoy for my troubles.

>>10601086
>America is the third world.
>>10601108
>I'm Canadian
Sorry I know that is a real bullshit charge and it fucked up your life but that exchange had perfect comedic timing.

>>10601161
Jesus Christ you sound like me. As far as tapering goes check out
>>10600108

Everything else is just willpower.

>>10601075
>I started working construction
is it particularly easy to get a job in construction as a felon? just curious, in the UK i notice a lot of people who work in construction are ex offenders

>>10601166

Less comedic, more cripplingly upsetting. Those cocksucker RCMP officers should rot in hell. Or PD or whatever. It makes my stomach burn thinking about 'crimes that might happen' being charged as crimes. That's so much horseshit I want to club someone.

>>10601194
obviously the only places you can work as a felon are construction and kitchens

>>10601244

Dildo factories and plastic vagina workshops?

>>10600853

You guys were right. I feel much better just having the jug of gin in the house. Packed up some shit and rewarded myself with a pour. Good stuff.

>>10600793
haha you might get shot but as long as your body lands on u.s soil you should be happy. yes we like smking cigarettes ut here in the south ...of california... i reckon

I can't drink right now, so I have had 5 10mg edibles instead. I'm honestly sick enough to not even feel like drinking, knowing what it will do to me

>>10600793
>top hats and tea
Pocket change, my friend.
>will I get shot?
As long as you don't go out in public or stay at home, you're safe. Or you could shoot them first.

>>10600793
>and will i get shot?
Not if you shoot first.

>>10600793
>in the u.s the average wage is $59,039
wrong. where are you getting that stat from. it's more like $22k - $30K average, depends on what type of job and what state.

>you guys seem to pay nothing for booze
also wrong. booze is always expensive at bars, restaurants, clubs. obviously they have to profit via a massive markup. so typical cocktail is $7-$15, a pint of beer is around $5-$9, etc. etc.

750mL of vodka is between $10-$40 depending on the brand you get.

the grass always seems greener, anglofag. if you want good wages and cheap booze, try colorado, washington state, or NZ.

>>10601673
Where are you living brah? I'm in Baltimore and livable jobs (50-60k starting) seem abundant. I don't pay dick for beer either.

who needs booze when you have fentanyl laced dope

>>10599362
Nah it's gotta be his choice. You actually sound really well informed and stuff. Don't ever blame yourself. I hope your dad can kick this shit, but as long as you are staying together just hang in there man. It's a weird spot to be in. Alcoholics get some sympathy but really the true angels are the people that hang in there with them until you can ride it out. Sometimes it's too much but once in a while there's someone right on the edge who can be pulled back. God bless man, again, don't ever blame your choice and keep fighting the good fight.

Woke up this morning feeling kind of happy and optimistic. For some unknown reason I bought a bunch of malt liquor and here I am drunk drunk. Why do I do this to myself? Even in my good times i resort to booze.

>>10601696
Fuck that shit. Had like 4 OD deaths involving fentanyl in this county in the past few months. Your playing with fire

>>10601745
I think your friend just wanted an excuse to rape you and was willing to sacrifice a few hundreds bucks to sell it.

Tried RAR Country Ride at the bar tonight. Bretty gud IPA.

Drinking some actually good beer "brewed with Arctic herbs"
Pengo pally bush pilot

>>10600552
I'm sure we can tell you which of the lowest-tier liquors are most palatable. Or perhaps Listerine flavors?

This is like going up to a raccoon digging through garbage and asking it about fine dining.

>>10598873
being white must be like a super power

Feeling alright. Need me some good videogames to distract me. I like shooters and Squad seems pretty cool but it's hard to play intoxicated. Serious Sam seems more my jam.

>>10600194
So your heart is basically shutting down right now?
Fuck.

When I drink, it's only a little, maybe two mouthfuls, and I get tired. Is that normal? Does anyone here have that happen?

>>10601735
Dude I love this shit. It's so refreshing compared to malt liquor. I'm drinking the grapefruit one now between glasses of wine (trying to avoid liquor/divorce).

>>10601901
If it's too early in the day yes. Not sure why that is but it's awful, and if you give in and take a nap it feels super depressing waking up at 8pm with your hormones destroyed. Most ultra depressing bitch feel ever.

>>10601918
I like taking a day off from work drinking at 10am. Pass out at 6pm then wake up feeling nice and toasty at 8am ready for work.

>>10601904
It's good. However the grapefruit and black cherry are too sweet for me. It's good for having a pretty low sugar content though.
Fucking ridiculously expensive however. I also supplement these with white wine.

>>10600327
people react differently anon. i drank 2 weeks straight once, probably 1.75 L took 2 days. ended up with the DT's. never drank more than 2 days on a weekend before that week. also never really drank liquor all the time. so shit can happen. other people drink for years and never get the dts

>>10601741
>>10601763
it's all you can get here

>>10601945
oof, the black cherry tastes like cough syrup. I do mix it with bad red wine sometimes though because they always have it at my grocery store.

I do wish they were cheaper, or that I could just make my own vodka/seltzer responsibly.

Cheers!

>>10601955
>never drank more than 2 days on a weekend

>>10600327
The body is alright at healing itself. If you're worried see a GP.

I keep having these metaphysical thoughts all the time about the nature of matter and reality. I just wish I could not think about that and feel like a normal person in the world again before I ever got blitzed high on weed again and again over the years and became an alcoholic to try to forget the horrible psychological experiences.
Do you think my brain can rewire itself through complete sobriety?

>>10601983
Maybe, but it could take years.

>>10601965
Cheers my dude.

>>10600526
Maybe some fancy brandy like Grand Mariner would be better? If you want to go all out and just buy some more for him to party with otherwise the other anons gave good suggetions

>>10601990
This is the kind of answer I expected. But I just obsessively think about these reality things and the nature of existing in time and space, and the molecular level of things instead of just existing as a normal being who doesn't think about these things and just goes about his day and what he has to do. Does anyone think this can be a manifestation of OCD? I recently finally stopped taking the antidepressent I was on and it hasn't bothered me at all except that I can sleep more now. I've never really talked to anyone about potentially having OCD, I just can't figure out what my problem is outside of the alcoholism.

>>10600327
if you start hallucinating and shit then go to hosp. and get some lithium or benzos or whatever. you'll sleep a shitload, then in a day or 2 you'll feel back to 'normal'.

>>10602002
No hallucinations. Really I drank so much and so often because I never felt any side effects. Never got headaches or felt nausea. Just like to have a good buzz going while watching anime or playing a game. Most of my friends have woken up hugging the toilet over the years and drink a tiny fraction of what I did. I am more concerned about the possible liver damage that I cannot perceive until it is practically dead if my info is correct. Maybe I'm just one of those guys who drinks like a fish his whole life because my great great great great great great great grand parents drank themselves into a evolutionary counter measure. Still done drinking. It doesn't even make the mood all that much better unless you're around other people.

>>10602009
you're probably just more sane than others
half of drinking is in your head, you're BAC and whatnot is bound by human limits
I know I've been really hungover and I just shook it off no problem some days when I had shit to do, other days I just suffered all day

>>10599138
>I didn't think they really did that
lol

Anyone feel like theyve needed to breathe harder since they started binging? Im not a fatass by any means but the past week or so i feel like ive been having to take deeper breaths, also get out of breath fast, im 22 on a 10 month binge right now

>>10602029
bad for your heart, alcohol is

>>10602029
Being an al/ck/ makes manual breathing an every day occurrence.

>>10602034
>>10602032
you guys experience it too then? Guess this is a sign i should really cut back

Just made one of these bad boys.
Jesus damn is it tasty.
Cheers lads.

[I was previously blasting some Natty Light]

My short-term memory is completely shot, and I haven't binged in a few weeks. At work I have post-it notes all over my desk just so I don't forget to do basic tasks god damn. Even forcing myself to repeat a new word I've learnt, which I might repeat for a few minutes in my head, will be gone before I know it.

For the guys who got liver damage did your stool turn yellow and kind of liquidy?

>>10602148
i dont have liver damage, but beer turns my shit into literal liquid

>>10602150

what are you, groom of the stool?

I've had a drink or two over the last few days but I haven't actually gotten DRUNK. Looking forward to when I'm off work.

>>10602185
Dont get how thats related to anything i said, my shit turns to liquid with consumption of beer, i am only an asswiper to myself

I went on a bender for over a month, I tapered down and quit last thursday. I've never had the shakes for more than a day but I've had them for 5 now, although each day they are dramatically less. I even got back in the gym today, felt great.

My shit has been like water though, I'm very concerned I caused some permanent liver damage. Does this just take longer to restore?

>>10602195
i need to go back to work, partly why i binge so hard now, when you got so much saving there just isnt motivation.

>>10602213
a month is nothing, im 22 and been drinking every single day, asides the few days i tried to quit and caved back in and i still can reverse the affects of it. Just keep at being clean, itll take a long time before its truly reversed, youve got to be drinking for years and years to get real damage, but what you drink and how much a day you drink is also a factor. Keep at it, stay clean and let all these miserable fucks remind you why not to pick it up.
>>10602029
Im dealing with this right now and its kinda scary from what i read. Keep at the gym valarian root helps with gaba depletion from drinking so get some of that, also chamomile tea. I bought em and can say the tea helps if you throw a few bags into the cup or pot with the anxiety and shakes but only went about 6 days before relapsing of boredom.

>>10602231
everyday for 10 months*

>>10602231
I'm 32, i've been a weekend drinker since early 20's, I dont know if 10 months is better or worse than 10 years on weekends, but this was an aggressive bender. Like wake up and drink 2-3 beers just to stop the shakes.

>>10602239
thats kinda where im at right now, ive been tapering recently with the breathing problem, just keep it at man

>>10602249
the breathing could just be from anxiety, it messes with your breathing patterns.
I dont know if you've ever used something like xanax or ativan to help quit, but I can tell you when those kick in all the sudden it feels like you can breathe again.

This morning was the first morning where I woke up and could breathe normally, felt amazing.

Are you still drinking?

Fuck me I only drink around 6 pints a night, little more on weekends, and I'm having issues sleeping on day one off. I took some Nyquil cough two hours ago and yawned a bit but still can't sleep.

>>10599977
They will ask you a lot of questions to get to know you in the first session. Just be honest and open.

>I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a drunk. Alcoholics have a problem.
I admitted to my close ones that I crossed the line. I was surprised that they came at me with support instead of anger. I don't know what I did to earn their support. I can't wait to wake up to the sober tomorrow. The way drinking kills us isn't funny, and it's never a joke. Al/ck/ has helped me so many times, and I hope this is the last time I Post a post that's not full of cheer. Thank you guys. We can all make it, I hope.

what happened to you faggots? did dad beat you? did the neighbor molest you? was dad just an alcoholic asshole who terrorized the family? why are you this way?

be honest, we're in an anonymous shithole

Is there even a point in dating crazys. It's doing my fucking head in. The sex is great but I can't be fucked having to explain the most simplest shit to her.

yeah, ive been tapering, having 2-3 16oz beers normally later in the day, just to help me sleep. Ive read it can cause COPD other things with your lungs, ive been having a cough recently and having more mucus, maybe im being a hypchondriac but on top of the severe shaking, heart palpations and racing, sweating, and auditory hallucinations its getting scary.

Drinking was the easiest way out. I came fom a good family and I was on a good path. But there never seemed a reason to stay on the stepping stones. Drinking was easier and made just as much sense. Who's to blame?

thats definitely moderate withdrawls, the hallucinations are more severe.

Don't try to go cold turkey, talk to a doctor medication can relieve those symptoms, but they can be dangerous if not treated correctly.

>>10602334
Theyre not too crazy, mainly sounds like muffled sounds of what sounds kinda like people talking occasionally when ive been sober for 3 or 4 days, especially at night when ive been up for awhile, rarely i think id see something black in the room when im laying there for hours trying to sleep on day 3 or 4 of sobriety, crazy how i came to this point. I think the only way is to go cold turkey honestly, because i just keep buying beer to fight the uncomfortableness of the withdrawals. I dont think i have been drinking that long or all day everyday for years like some of these folks for it to be deadly, just extremely uncomfortable and hard to get through, i dont want to go to a doc just because i dont want it to be a stain on my medical record.
Anyone else experience these?

>>10602223
Yeah having to go to work stops me from getting plastered every night. What did you do that saved you all that money?

>>10602361
I was an assembler at a cleaning equipment factory, Only had got paid $14.00/hr, wasnt in debt, not expensive bills,cooked in bulk and I got cheap rent since i split it, but the monotomy killed me, hoping this place is calling me back this week, gonna be building giant concrete mixers for putzmiester, had 2 interviews so far so it seems like its going okay. hopefully it will get me out of this cycle like it did before

>>10602394
>>10602361
granted i only had 6k saved, its allowed me to be jobless the last 5 months which has been nice, but latley the boredom has been killing me

What can I eat that will satisfy when I'm drinking but won't make me less drunk? I'm sick of being hungry when I drink just so I don't have to drink as much. No carbs or fats right?

>>10602432
anything really, only time makes you less drunk

christ everyone pass out already? these threads are usually bumpin at this time of night

God you guys are daft. Look up what alcohol does to your body and it's obvious that this happens.

>Alcohol is a blood thinner therefore you need deeper breaths to get more oxygen into your blood to compensate
>Alcohol swells the liver and pancrease, compressing the lungs making it harder to breath

Obvious

>>10602483
maybe if you eeat them while drinking, cause of the fullness, but it does nothing to take away the alcohol content

>>10602495
even after 10 months it can swell? Ive mainly drank 4-8 8.1 tallboys over the past course, the month before i drank nothing but 1.75 l vodka id spread out over about 3 days and now im back to a few 8.1% every night. ive experienced this my 2nd day i went cold turkey

>>10602497
That's what I mean. When you're full or eating it takes more alcohol to get drunk.

>Lost his job
>Begged on the corner for money so he can afford his next high on booze
>Assaulted multi-able police officers while stumbling out of a bar.
>Caught him sucking off numerous dudes in a park station bathroom for some spare booze change.
>Done prison time
I just picked him friday. He's recently been released from prison. He did a year and a half on multi-able charges but it's manly because he got drunk one night and jerked off onto his neighbors van. Turns out his neighbors security camera caught the whole thing. He broke down to me on the freeway ride home but not before he filled himself with some four loco from a 7/11. He cried and cried, telling me that he was orally and anally raped numerous time for owing guys on the inside. I guess he built up quite the large tab inside. Don't drink guys, even now as I type this I can hear him sobbing 2 doors down from me.

I think pot is objectively healthier on the long run. It's a faggot thing tho, makes you really lazy.

It's just a hedonic trap desu.
