soberly

i have nobody to drink with and i dont wanna be an alcoholic and drink alone

>>11759688
I am. It's ok.

>>11759688
>alone
But you have your fellow anons here on 4chans

>>11759678
I had a single shot of Linie aquavit and I'm done.

>>11759678
Not bad. Been drinking and playing metriod at my girlfriend's place all day.

almost 4 moths on the wagon but there's cracks starting to form in the dike, boys.

>>11759707
Your liver has probably healed up entirely by now my man

Why do mods keep banning these threads

OP here, I recently started smoking weed again. I swore it off after it started giving me awful panic attacks years ago, but it's been okay for me lately and helping me cut back. Still been drinking, but not blacking out or even getting stumbling drunk, so that's a start. If you're an alck try getting some indica/cbd

>>11759715
ikr, these threads are actually an important way for people to help each other cope with alcoholism, e.g.

2.5 months sober.

It gets easier but you gotta realise its a lifelong affliction. Get help guys. Go to meetings. If you dont like it, go to another. Find a different one. Try them a few times.

>>11759707

Keep at it. If youve been white knuckling it, try a meeting.

>>11759731
>Get help guys. Go to meetings.
Nope. Quit by myself and was sober for an entire year. Was nothing but extreme boredom and depression. Started drinking and things were suddenly fun again and my depression was manageable.

>>11759722
a nice fresh panic attack while high is pretty fucking shitty, believe me I get it.
Had one tripping on acid one time. I thought that was the end of me.

My parents finally got a puppy (it was really depressing visiting them, so I kept suggesting it) and I was going to go over today on my one day off to play with it and do a couple loads of laundry. Ended up staying in bed until just 10 minutes ago (it's 8pm) drinking vodka. The highlight of the day was when I found a clean pair of pants for tomorrow so can put off doing laundry for another day.

I had to swear off vodka, kept pushing me right to the edge of getting WDs. Sipping pic related tonight

>>11759722
>Can get weed
>Chooses to drink
But why?

>>11759777
Did you know that some people have these things called "jobs" or are looking for "jobs", and it's a common practice to test for marijuana if you are looking for a "job" and in many cases, you can be subject to random drug screening if you already hold one of these "jobs".

>>11759768
is this shit actually good or is it just more expensive bud?

>>11759784
Sorry I forgot some people live in America where you believe you can pay people literal slaves wages and expect them to abstain from harmless drugs to give their lives a blip of joy
Good thing you have illegal mexicans off the books right?

Had a bit of a bender over the weekend, but at least this month I've had multiple stretches of 3-4 days dry. Hope I can keep this going.

>>11759791
leave it to stonerfags to fuck up an al/ck/ thread. I thought you fags were supposed to be chill?

>>11759788
I love it, I’m a regular drinker of bud heavy and this is a nice twist. I’d give it an 8/10 if bud is a 7

>>11759678
6 days sober now. Feeling pretty good. Almost got my ass kicked last week for the 999th time so time to see what a month or more sober life feels like.

>>11759796
>bender over the weekend
A proper bender lasts at least 3 days.

>>11759799
We don't drug test in Europe, as a libertarian it disgusts me that your employer think he should have any say in what you do in your free time
If they could they'd fire you for drinking they would and you know it

>>11759791
Weed is legal in America, dum dum.

>>11759807
Friday to Sunday

>>11759809
It's not, it's a state by state basis something something muh federal bla bla
I follow this shit, you think we aren't America's bitch? Until you legalise it across the board we don't dare de-criminalize it let alone legalise it

I’ve been sober for over a week. Sadly an accomplishment in my book. I had a siezure for the first time ever a little over a week ago. Bad shit bros.

breddy gud. sober 11 years and counting, life is gud.

i'm on a bender
was sick for like a month and not drinking and i just got a call to go back into work next week so i'm not stopping until then

>>11759784
>>11759799
Wow, samefagging AND copypasta in one go

>>11759822
They still drug test in MA despite legalization, surprised some Cambridge lawyer hasn’t sued over it

>al/ck/ is back for now
Yay. I can’t keep drinking hard liquor; I can feel my inflamed liver. Just drinking PBR tall boy for the evening while watching tv.

>>11759844
In Oregon it's up to the employer too.

>>11759870
And that's a good thing. If degenerates are going to be allowed to do dope, then it's best for society as a whole if they're broke.

>>11759844
It has less to do with the law and more to do with insurance. Dopers cause more on-the-job accidents.

just binged my usual weekend handle saturday & sunday so yeah im not holding up very well today. the week always gets better as it goes, and peaks just in time for me to wreck myself again

>>11759914
Boomer myth, no evidence

>>11759906
that's a pretty antisocial attitude

>>11759914
Care to provide a source for that claim?

>>11759914
jesus grandpa isnt it bedtime?

>>11759777
Personal preference. I have easy access to pot but fucking hate being high.

>>11759923
>>11759931
Keep coping, dopers.
Here's a clue: you can always tell when someone's drunk because of the alcohol smell.
Drunk on the job = instant dismissal.
You can't always tell when someone's stoned or spun or whatever on the job, so people with those sort of proclivities tend to get loaded when they're on the clock, so we test em to find out if they have those proclivities.

I have reduced my drinking from 4-5 days a week to 2. I like being drunk too much to ever stop completely but maybe 1 night a week I can deal with.

just started mixing my own drinks tonight after buying some rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, bitters, cherries, and tools like strainers and bar spoons. made a few manhattans and so far its a lot more efficient than drinking multiple highballs just to get drunk.

>>11759974
>You can't always tell when someone's stoned or spun or whatever on the job
Yes you can, dumb boomer
>Wasting weed while working
lmao

>>11759974
>t. minimum wage worker

No one cares about degenerates like you that work for $7.50 an hour

>>11759974
>cope
You people on here are like some kids who hear a new little buzzword and use it over and over thinking you're back-of-the-bus cool. I asked for a source to back up your claim. You failed to provide one beyond anecdotes. Admit defeat.

>>11759715
>>11759726
Because drinking alcohol has nothing to do with food or cooking.
>>>/r9k/ >>>/b/ >>>/420chan/

Was drunk at work again yesterday, 0retty sure my boss knows now. Parents are coming to stay for a few days which at least means I can't carry on my regular bullshit and maybe have a sober few days. I didn't drink two days last week and it felt amazing to have a clear head and no hangover.
Kept my gf up last night with my drinking in the living room. Fuck I'm a worthless shit, I wish she would leave me.
It's 1:15 and it's my day off and normally I'd be at least a couple of drinks in by now, but I'm sober so that's something. Feel the itch though. Send me strength lads.
Here's a picture of Mexico for no real reason.

>>11760089
At least you don't smoke weed like a degenerate

Keep itching for that non-debate, clown.

>>11759977
i've been at a steady 3 per week for a while now. it's less than half the time, so i'm not doing anything too wrong, right?

>>11759678
Haven't been drinking so much lately. A buddy of mine that I hadn't seen in a while came over and I was excited to go out with him on a Saturday. Shit/showered/shaved and by the time he showed up around 10:00, actually fell over when we were having a smoke. I was a blithering mess and he ended up just saying "fuck it", and going home.
It felt really bad for some reason.
I've had a lot of wake up calls, shitting beds, dying, saying awful shit in public, etc.
For some reason, my old friend deciding I was no longer fun to be around really hit home. None of that other stuff did.
Since then, I've gotten a regular job and have only been drinking boxed wine on my day(s) off and when I am alone.
Feels better.
Work sucks, but at least I'm not constantly disappointing someone other than myself.
I'm struggling to find any will to live. It might just be anhedonia, but at least if I make it sober for a few months I can call it without looking like a total degenerate.

>>11760490
>dying

>>11760490
I've never missed real drugs more than now. My life was under control when I was munching scripts 24/7. Somehow, it really was. Grades were tops, work was fine, and my house was clean.
I just couldn't keep up with a $1500 a week habit and eventually started replacing it with booze because it was cheaper and I refused to touch needles.
I never fucked anything up, lost any money (other than what I paid), damaged my car, or ruined any personal relationships.
Fuck everything.

>>11760528
you get whatcha pay for anon. drugs are pricey and make your life amazing. booze is cheap and fucks you up

>>11760499
I was very disappointed with the entire experience. Not that tried, or anything. There was nothing on the other side. It was like one long blink.
My friends that came to visit in the hospital were very disappointed and looked at me like a fucking edgelord when I said that after they'd grilled me about "so what was it like, c'mon. Tell us, anon!"
Sorry bros, maybe it was purgatory or something.

>>11760379
Smelly alcoholic

>>11760542
I did spend $150 (when alone) or $300~ (with friends) per week for 104 weeks straight, and it has shrekt my insides, but I am still very glad I had the self control to not turn to the needle.
That being said, I've quit horse, oxy, a gallon of lean a week, quarter of blow/ week, buying 1500 bars and wrecking those in three weeks, crack, lots of Molly (probably some meth), and OBVIOUSLY WEED LOL.
With no problems.
Al/ck/ is a different fucking beast.

>>11760549

>>11760592
The $150-$300/ week(104) is for booze over two years. Sorry for not specifying.

>>11760610
>i-i-ncel
>haha i win the argument
I know /ck/ is a normalfag board but jesus chrsit at least try, every one can smell the booze coming out your pores
Also rename your files when you reply to this you stupid nigger

i drink every day, will i be okay anons?

>>11760614
You and I both know you were spending too much on booze. That’s an amount to be spent on blow every month desu

>>11760623
I was drinking a handle per evening alone, add a few (5-8) lightweight friends and that's easily double that for them. They didn't even morning drink.
Also, wow. You're amazingly conservative for someone with a booger sugar habit. I was wrecking. 300/week primo shit just on my own.
Congrats on your restraint, my dude.

>>11759777

>not frying your brain by getting stoned and drunk simultaneously all the time

Shaving off IQ points and obliterating your memory never felt so good.

>>11760618
Buddy I know you don’t have a real job but allow me to attempt to educate you. Once you have a degree, you’re allowed to work in the city and recieve a salary. After work, you go to the bar and talk to your coworkers about the workday. I get that this is hard to understand but I suppose I can’t reason with a leech

>>11760620
No.
>inb4 “lol it’s only one beer a night”
That’s how it starts, anon. At least with me it did, and know I’m half a bottle of gin in tonight.

>>11760646
How the fuck did you clear your nose for the next round? After a heavy night it’s like it is filled with cement

>>11760670
Dirty phone poster, I told you to try and you didn't
I work in IT, I don't go to the bar after work it's not japan
You get drunk on the job, you don't have a real job don't bullshit us about your imaginary degree you lying cunt

>>11759822
I'm turning 34 in a couple months and have had weed readily available to me since I was 12, but never really liked it or sought it out. If you live in the US and still think of pot as "illegal" I feel really, really sorry for you.

>>11760684
I learned a lot about bioavailability and never insuffulated things that weren't meant to be consumed like that. I also used a neti-pot (one of those teapots that you pour through one nostril, leave your mouth open, and it pours out the other nostril [clearing your sinus cavities]) every night before attempted sleep. It also helped that my source was WICKED clean.

>>11760713
Look up neti pots if you haven't heard of them. You can makeshift one at home if you're really /strugglemode/. Use a salt water mix and it cleans your shit right up. It feels super weird, but imo that is the only way to wash any gnarly cut out of your sinuses.

>>11760693

This must be bait.
Nobody can actually be this dumb.

>>11760680

Thank you for the antisocial autist perspective, all the cool people go out for drinks but don’t invite you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I appreciate the wicked brotha, but it’s hard to find clean shit in Boston. Definitely will look into a yeti pot though, sounds like a godsend

Yeah okay boomer, shows what you know of the industry, don't you have video tapes to rewind ?

>>11759678
I finally didn't drink yesterday and just forced myself to stay on the couch for an entire day to get through it. I plan to continue soberly now. I've been drinking for close to 11 years and I'm getting some pains in my organs if I continue to get drunk everyday, so I'm going to stop.

>>11760743
It's one of these.
https://m.imgur.com/gallery/VkXZxPY
Please try it sober a few times. Salt water is key, use it warm (not hot).
Seriously, no homo, KEEP YOUR MOUTH OPEN. It somehow channels your sinuses open (they're closed because you're assumed to be breathing through your mouth), and it works like a dream. If you close your mouth or inhale salt water through your nose, it is pure hell.
Don't try to make anyone else do it. Keep your special bathroom teapot secret.
Godspeed, anon.

>>11760749
You overextended yourself with this, 0/10

>>11760775
*keeps your sinuses open as a circut

>>11760620
Maybe for a little while, or a while, but sadly it's only a matter of time before daily drinking will seriously fuck you up somehow. It will happen eventually.

>>11760620
You can do it. I believe in you to maintain a functioning lifestyle.
Drinking every day isn't doctor recommended, but you won't necessarily fall down the same pit as your peers did.
Don't drink in the mornings (sans " hair of the dog" when going out with hungover friends for brunch when you have nothing to do that day), and PAY ATTENTION to your physical hygiene.
If you stop showering or brushing your teeth to drink instead, that is when a real problem makes itself apparent.
Take good care of yourself, anon.

I've only been drinking for four years. When does the liver pain go away?

""""Healthiest"""" liqueur? Is it vodka? I heard clearer liqueurs are "healthier".

>>11760891
Where does it hurt? It could possibly be appendicitis (depending on how old you are).

>>11759678
I can only drink mixed stuff, straight alcohol is gross (to me), so share with me your mixtures, friends

I discovered on accident that mixing fireball and goldpeak green tea is very, very good, it's very smooth while retaining the flavor of both liquids

>>11759726
So the hell what? This is not a self-help boards. There are plenty of other places to be pathetic like that. This is a place to be pathetic in a different way.

>>11760915
>plenty of other places to be pathetic
And yet there are half a dozen reddit threads praising god emperor drumpf for serving fast food to college football idiots flooding the food and cooking board, right now. /ck/ needs a fucking reset.

>it's monday night
>where the fuck is the moderation?

Welp things are spiraling out of control for me. Lost my job because I fell asleep on my lunch break. I was sober for a good few months but relapsed and has now but drinking my typical fifth of vodka a day. I get awful withdrawal, and my gf is kicking me out of the apartment on February 1st if I haven’t stopped completely. Times running out. Needless to say, this is a pretty dark time in my life.

>>11760916
Your liver and appendix are both on the right side, chief. I don't know what's up with you.
I'm sorry I couldn't help more, other than confirming that you might be a hypochondriac.
Good luck, homie.
If it ever feels like lower back pains it might be one of your kidneys.

Just hit that wall a bit ago.
We had a big argument about renewing the lease in her name, and my credit is shit.
Got the first shit tier food service job (prep work) I could find, and I took it.
Gf doesn't mind my bitching/ sometimes needing her to spot me on something so long as I am working.
You can do it, dude. Work fucking sucks, but it keeps you sober about nine hours a day and you have some merit.
Go out, get a shitty job. Your gf will be happy for you (it feels fucking patronizing), and will love you for it.
It does involve swallowing some pride.
Try for her.
Try for me.
Try for yourself, god damn it.

>>11760930
Become a hero for /pol/.

>>11760971
Damn this was an inspiring post. There is just one concern I have. She is basically making me remain jobless until I stop drinking, as I’ve lost every job I’ve ever had due to drink. So my one focus right now is to stop by the 1st, but shit the withdrawal is torture. Every minute seems like an hour of hell. I’m trying to taper, but shit is still pretty hard. Maybe I’m just being a pussy. Thanks for the advice anon. Once I quit I’ll find the first shit tier job I can find.

I'm expecting this thread to be pruned any second now, but al/ck/ threads were always one of the best, most helpful and socially productive threads on the whole board. We always stayed in our own thread as well and never bothered anyone else, but many people would come in just to insult us. It was a net positive in the end, it's sad that they started getting deleted when they had been accepted on here for years and years.

>>11761327
Oh no you didn't. Don't even try to make that lie. No thread attempting to discuss alcohol as a culinary experience would last ten posts before the pity parade poisoned the atmosphere.

What a fantasy world.

I can't remember the last time I was sober for two days, last time I took a day off I couldn't sleep, felt like my legs were melting. I fucking hate myself for letting it get this bad, I wake up every morning and I can feel my heart beating in my arms. Funny to think I was almost a professional athlete at one point, feels like those are somebody else's memories now.

This is me. When I started smoking it helped me to stop drinking, but on friday/saturday nights I would do both at the same time. After a couple of weeks I was back to drinking all night every night but now smoking 7-8 joints as well.

Now I have no interest in smoking without booze and no interest in booze without smoking so I just rape my brain as you say. Can literally feel my memory getting worse.

>1500 bars in three weeks

You have to be lying.

>>11761550

This. I've had weed sitting in a jar for months and months at this point and haven't touched it because I don't like how getting high makes me feel/think.
On the other hand I've had at least something to drink three nights over the last week.
