fuk me

10 days sober here.

I was drinking about a liter of whiskey a day. The acute withdrawal was dreadful but I feel pretty good now. Weed helps a lot.

>>6591571
I'm 24 hours in. Trying to sleep last night was terrible and I was all shaky. I barely got any sleep. I was only at about 400~ish ml a day, I'm thinking about cutting down to 200ml for the next few days and halving that, then stopping so I can ease myself off.

>>6591563
The man at the door is clearly inside the doorway, so he would totally be able to see the other man, or at the least his feet I guess. And her face looks more like "Oh I think I just say my ex-boyfriend with a black girl" rather than "My asshole is being licked my a man hiding beneath my dress."
What a rediculous pic.

>>6591563
>These aren't my glasses

>>6591685
Looks like a screen shot from the beginning of a porno to me.

>>6591681
If you're going to taper off I suggest beer rather than liquor. 1 beer per hour will keep the worst of the symptoms to a minimum. Half that amount the next day and so on.

At some point you'll have to just deal with the withdrawal to one extent or another. It passes in a few days. Take B complex vitamins and stay hydrated.

>>6591733
Good to know, I already caved and got 200ml so im taking 100 now and 100 before bed

>>6591488
>want to go to Boston for Pride
>spend too much money on booze
>can't go
>decide to stay at home, drink, act like a faggot and watch gay movies

>>6591488
I used to be a really bad alcoholic. Withdrawals were the worst. I went back to drinking but it's just lost its appeal to me. I don't want to drink unless I'm getting fucked up and I hate the way I feel the next day. It's not worth it

>>6591488
>have tickets for concert tonight
>going to end up too drunk to drive

>>6591488
How's everybody holding up tonight?

>>6591488

Another hour or so until I'll open a couple of bottles of wine.

purple drank here


yeah yea yea i know

about to start on 28 beers.

i am fine.

>>6591888
>no one to go to pride with
>lonely all the time
>what is the point of living
>i'd drink my wine but alcohol tastes awful

Took my DUI class this past weekend. Feels great to be back crushing coldies. Drink up, al/ck/s!

>tfw want to get drunk and watch a movie but don't want to impede my enjoyment of the movie

Been sober 2 weeks. I have a fucked gallbladder and drinking makes me sick for days now.

If dubs I relapse tonight

About to drink my fourth or fifth glass of Pepsi and pic related

>few tums help
>shit my guts out all day

i knew the lentil curry and beer was a bad idea

>>6592928
I have stomach acid bubbling up in my throat to the point that it's actually bleeding. I can't try and cough to clear my throat because it makes me puke instantly.

I didn't even realize drinking could cause this, but it only happens after a bender. I never had it when I drank before. Drinking becomes so shitty when you get old.

>>6591488
I have to drink on the weekends. At least it's mostly weekends now, I used to drink everyday. That feel when you start feeling really anxious to drink.
>>6592242
I do that a lot. I got one DWI back in 2011, now I'm too paranoid after having more than 1 drink.
>hay man you wanna come over here to blah blah blah
>naw I cant, ive already started drinking.

I've started using Uber for that now though.

>>6592962
>I do that a lot. I got one DWI back in 2011, now I'm too paranoid after having more than 1 drink.
I got one over a decade ago and I absolutely will not drive after 1 drink. Its probably a good thing that I feel that way now

>>6592983
>>6592962
I'm not even an alcoholic but you guys are pussies.

I got one about 3 years ago, and i will drive after one drink, but never after more than one.

>>6592957
hurts so bad. i ran out of tums so i just sent my wife to the store.

im turning 24 and drinking is starting to become literally poison. im gonna quit and switch to weed or something.

>>6592990
wow, so alpha and epic!

>>6593003
Drink water man, this happened to me the other day and it's why I'm quitting as well. Get some gatorade or smartwater or something man.

>>6593033
stomach and throat feels like its on fire. plus the runs.

not worth it. when i was a fucking heroin addict i never felt this bad.

>>6593038
See if you can make it tonight without drinking and actually sleep without the night terrors. If you can, just go cold turkey.

Can potheads join this thread as well? I had 2 beers today and a few puffs. Feeling preddy good tbh

>>6593043
that sounds like consumption in moderation

Newbie drinker here. I had to quit smoking weed so I just started drinking beer every night this week. What are some beers you boozehounds can recommend? New castle/smithwicks are my favorite but I shamefully like Budweiser. I haven't had a craft beer I like yet

>>6593040
nawh if i dont drink ill have panic attacks and feel like im dying.

ill just wait until im about to go to sleep and chug like 2-3 shots n pass out.

my wife brought home these "gelusil" brand antacid and anti gas pills. instant relief for 3 bucks. i recommend them.

>>6592525
Did you have to watch the Michael Keaton/Morgan Freeman movie? All I remember is that movie and the free Lay's potato chips.

Guys, come the fuck on now. Surely we're better than this?

>>6593077
no you cant be a cook without being a drunk

read some bourdain

Found a fun new way to drink, not sure if this will work for everyone. Used to drink 1/2litre liquor/night but stretched it over like 4 hours. NOPE. do it between 2-20 minutes. It hits so hard it is a fucking rush. you get tingles, and fuzzy in your limbs, it is really really great.


Decided. and have come to terms with the fact that I'll be drunk the rest of my life, my goal is to live another 4 years.

sometimes I take enough klonopin I don't have to be. There is barely a downside. The worst that can happen is I'll die like I want too. Was never clever enough to get the highly competitive career I value and wanted, so what is the use?

Last time I tried to talk to my doctor about this shit she ended up scolding me for not wearing a bike helmet when i try and get some exercise. aka help doesn't exist.

>>6593103
>do it between 2-20 minutes. It hits so hard it is a fucking rush. you get tingles, and fuzzy in your limbs, it is really really great.


jesus christ dude you're going to die

>>6592769
Are you me?

>>6593128
not even the body is like really strong. it's like hitting a bong hard or running a fucking marathon?

>>6593147
you need a rehab probably. you probably already have alcoholic psychosis judging from how you type posts out.

>>6593151
how's this rewrite for my own piece of mind.

Not even, the human body is very resilient in actuality. The way I consume alcohol is comparable to a heavy smoking session and perhaps even less than the the stress put on the respiratory system, especially the heart, of a serious competitor during a marathon.

>>6593167
check out mr thesaurus over here

>>6593175

good thread so far

>>6593187
LOL

>>6593180
I'm pretty sure he's mocking your unnecessary prolixity. It wasn't actually impressive.

SO who here is the most drunk? don't be shy. let us know how you're doing. goddamn we're on your side if no one else is.

just cruised through 3 modelos and 4 15oz guiness.

might crack the whiskey soon

send me off to dreamland, twitchtv

>>6593194
who u watchin fag

>>6593191
you fucked up. using 'prolixity' is like the grade 8 student that uses a thesaurus and thinks that they can just substitute any word on the list. It doesn't work that way.

besides, every word I used was just standard english not 'thesaurus' or even 'ten dollar words'

>>6593196

i'm out

hey. HEY. I'm still worried I'm in alcohol psychosis. so just chime in person who seemed to know what that is. cause I sure won't know

>>6593227

I know these feels

>>6591571
Dude a liter a day is chump change.. your withdrawls are probably just in your head.. seriously I know people who drink a liter for breakfast

>>6593328
It's a lot. Just because some people are worse doesn't mean it isn't pretty fucking bad.

A lot of alcoholics like to think they aren't because they know of people who are even more far gone. They're being dishonest with themselves.

>need to go to sleep
>have a few drinks to help you sleep
>stay up later than you ever would have otherwise because you want to have more and more drinks

i've been drinking 300-400 mL of vodka within the span of 5 minutes for over a year now. i've never had a hangover because i drink a shit ton of water every day. only until recently i've been experiencing some backlash to this method. in the morning, instead of hangovers, i would get stomach aches and pain in my sides where i assume my right kidney is located. i don't even feel the "euphoria" from drinking like i use to before, just a slight light-headed feeling of apathy that lasts only for about half an hour. i don't even know why i drink any more.

godspeed, anon.

>>6593530
all nights that happens.
except when it works, and the few drinks help get to sleep espeially if you combine it with some klonopin and melatonin. best advice is to throw on amazing music and decide to just stay up listening to this, cause you'll just fall asleep

>>6593980
mm if you lost the euphoria, make a change. ive heard heroin and xtc is pretty good. a lot of ppl do mdma then go out. when not do it alone tho? Then a lot of people scale back and go to weed so there's that option you can choose.

my nearly a litre in a few minutes method made me piss my motherfucking bed tho : S felt bad till I got drunk again just this minute.

This is a serious question. The only thing stopping me from repeatedly drinking to absolute excess is a huge fear of becoming fat. Are most of you alcoholics fat? And if not, then how come?

>>6594190
idk. im skinny fat and an alcohol. but wayy thinner than what people consider 'dad body'/ my limbs are still strong and thin. sometimes yu can just not eat all day and only get the calories only from the alcohol. i often take vitamins cause i figure that makes up for it.

>>6594190
I'm fat. Alcohol has a lot of calories, but the real problem is the garbage I eat when I get drunk. If you have some self control even when you are inebriated you could be ok. There are lots of skinny alcoholics too.

I've just dronk a half vodka bottle with orange juice after a shit week. And I feel gr8

>>6594220
can't tell if you're making fun of us. Or you're getting the whole point of this.

keep it up tho.

>>6594224
Not fun at all my friend

>>6594245
always do what feels great always

>>6594246
The stress was fucking killing me.

>>6594251
alcohol and a few other drugs will rescue u more than almost anything. running and meditation can work over a longer period. tricking yourself with religion works for ppl too

>have a nice quiet drinking night with friends
>when getting back proceed to drink more until blackout
>spend all sunday in bed, will still be hungover on monday
why

>>6594270
I tried in my life meditation, yoga and all zen new age shits. Today I've just need vodka, a shower and some films in my computer

>>6594205
>>6594214
But let's say you drink 10 average beers a night, that's around 2000 calories. Or a fifth of vodka (750ml) is around 1500 calories. So even if you eat very little, this amount of liquid calories is surely going to add up in the end, considering that the average adult male recommended calorie consumption is around 2500. And let's face it, lots of alcoholics drink substantially more than my estimates.

>>6591571
Do you think about how your liver must look like? Jesus Christ.

>>6594316
That's the last thing alcoholics think about

>>6591685
You have too much time on your hands...

>>6591686

>sunday night

Kill me.

this is some /co/ shit, but do you guys follow questionable content?

what are you thoughts about the current storyline?

I fucking hate it. dropped the comic completely because of it. I've read it for a depressing number of years and it's also been mediocre enough to keep up with, but he has no fucking idea about alcoholism. fucking. shit.

>>6595525
It's always been an awful comic. I was going to check the current storyline to see what you were talking about, but just seeing it again made me sick to the stomach and I immediately closed the window.

>>6595525
nope. it seems too melodramatic. the tranny thing is just to pull people in.

>>6595528
Jeph decided faye was an alcoholic. Basically she came into work drunk one day and dora fired her. There's been a ton of drama about her immediately deciding to go to AA and then falling off the wagon

It's fucking trite and contrived. It's like the kind of thing a sheltered suburban 11th grader would write about alcoholism if they didn't know anyone with a drinking problem.

QC's just been on my rss feed for so long I kind of stopped noticing that I was reading it. I finally unsubbed because of this.

This is the slippery slope, isn't it?

>>6595564
Yes, Get out while you can.

>>6595564
It depends on your self control. Most people do that on occasion. They don't all spend their days craving their next drink.

So I quit heroin but it looks like I'm on my way to joining you guys. all I can think about is getting some booze and coke. fuck.

better than heroin tho? right? right?

Sorry brother. My name's Joseph.

>>6595576

>>6594293
>>6594190
Bump. I'm interested in these questions too.

About to kick the bottle after several months of hard drinking (at least a 1.5L bottle of wine/night, sometimes more). How fucked am I?

>>6595576
Sure dude.

But really, no.

fuk you

>>6591681
>400~ish ml a day
The fuck. That's nowhere near enough to get shakes.

>>6597004
>How fucked am I?
Quite. You'll probably have some TD if you stop brutally.
I recommend tapering off to avoid DT. Or taking benzo.

>>6597032
Sorry we're not all as hardcore as you

>>6597004
Of wine? That's still quite a bit, but it all depends on how serious you are and how much willpower you have. If you have the first, then you taper off to about 3 beers a night. If you have the second, then you abstain for a year and then only drink socially/not to get shitfaced.

That being said, you have to be a special snowflake to achieve that. Total sobriety or lifetime drunkenness are the only practical options.

>>6598616
He's been doing around a six pack a day for less than a year. He's not fucked getting out now, but he's certainly dodging a very hard road.

>>6593980
That's your liver that's hurting you, your kidneys are located in your back.

>>6594293
Former alcoholic here, when I was drinking at my hardest I was at my skinniest because i didn't have an appetite and didn't eat at all. I was drinking A SUBSTANTIAL amount, you would have thought I was the perfect candidate for intervention. I was 126 pounds and I'm 5'9. Since I quit/cut down i now weigh 160. I always had a pouch though

Anon from >>6597004
Had some mild shakes yesterday, but the thing that really hit me and made me almost useless at work was this overwhelming sense of....fear, I guess you'd call it. It was crazy. Never felt like that before. I just wanted to crawl into a dark hole and cry, but thankfully I held it together.

Also, couldn't sleep for shit last night, despite some chamomile tea and a Benadryl. Every time I thought I was falling asleep, I'd jerk back awak violently. Anybody else ever have that happen?

>>6591488
>mfw there's only been one thread about high proof spirits on /ck/ for the past week and it's full of depressed alcoholics drinking themselves to death

Been trying really hard to stick with my diet.
So far everything is okay.
Yesterday went out drinking. Went way over my calorie count.
Look to see how much weight I have gained from drinking.
Looks like I gotta start over on my diet again.

what can i do to curb the night terrors and vivid dreams? last time i didn't drink before bed i had at least 3 nightmares, of which i remember an owl hovering toward me that i couldn't parry away and a dream involving a twisted re-imagining of my decrepit cockroach infested house. i awoke later on with my dead dog sleeping on my chest and later still went for a walk with an exgf. sometimes i think its not just my brain working harder to keep me asleep; hence the vivid dreams. i think we need to dream or we lose our minds, and without our sedative to drown those dreams they all rush back at once, no longer submerged.

>>6599476
Write a book about it.
Make a video game based on it.
Spread the misery bro. Make some dosh.

>>6599476
That's the D of DT, for delirium.
Nightmares, mainly of creatures, crawling bugs. They can happen without sleeping.

Alcohol and benzodiazepine (avoid mixing) remove them. I think vitamins B can help too.

>>6599372
Congrats on your first day Anon!
I think it's anxiety. Anxiolytic can help.
For the night thing, idk. Some weird form of shakes maybe. I'd say vitamins again, and whatever dietary elements they usually give for that.

>>6594293
I was in the best physical shape of my life when I was drinking the most. I was drinking a minimum of 2 bottles of wine, 750 mL of hard liquor or 12 beers 5-6 days a week, sometimes quite higher amounts than that. I found I would go long periods of time with no appetite and then suddenly have an irresistible urge to eat, but even then I wasn´t able to eat large portions. I was pretty active physically. I walked everywhere (I was at university at the time) and lifted weights almost every day.

>>6599968
Same, I had a job in residential construction for moving, landscaping, handyman work, delivering materials, etc. As soon as I switched to a desk job without changing my boozing habits, weight issues and massive anxiety (with a good dose of depression) came with it. Sure, I make more money, but I really wish I was out in the field more.

be careful everyone. I ended up in a bad place with alc where i was throwing up bile violently. ended up pissing blood. stuck with beers ever since

>>6598719
>>6599968
So it's basically just that alcoholics tend not to eat much?

>>6601547
Me, personally, I drink at least 1500 calories per day in vodka. I only crave food when I'm 6 or 7 drinks in and it's time to go to sleep.

Thread still going, eh?

Day 2: Shakes are gone, depression remains, along with anger. Thought a trip to the gym would help matters. Had a good workout, but once I got home, the depression came back. Went to bed around 7:30pm because there was literally shit else for me to do, now that I'm not drinking. Sleep didn't come easy, though. Hopefully that will pass. At this point, sleep is the only thing I look forward to.

>>6593219
You might be me

>>6602037
Day 3 here. ~500mL vodka/night usually, but have a couple exams coming up.

Been using over the counter sleeping medicine to get through the sleepy-sweat-shakies...works purty gud.

picture related

I was getting pretty close to turning professional but I have cut back to manageable quantities. Wasn't so bad but I was having panic attacks that I was going to go into withdraw seizures and i couldn't sleep for shit for a few nights.

>>6602037
>Had a good workout, but once I got home, the depression came back
damn, i know that feel

Had an alcohol every day for week hahah

I have a problem :P

>>6593038
>>6593038
oh, man i know this one. were you drinking on an empty stomach (besides the curried lentils, which didn't you have time to digest)?

i drank half a handle of bourbon after 2 days of forgetting to eat, then spent MLK day vomiting outside my window and begging my roommate for smoothies.

>>6602365

My gf came up with a great cocktail for me that helped get over the shitty feeling. Vitamin b-12, milk thistle, ginger (if your stomach is uncomfortable), Vitamin E, and probiotic acidiphulus

those nights i couldn't sleep and was going mad cuz all my friends were out drinking I would take the dog for a run or listen to a podcast while i fell asleep

>>6602755
Same. It seems that if I vary my drug use then my panic attacks and depression go down.

Okay, 3 days without sleep was more than I could handle, so I went out and got a 750ml bottle of wine. Wish I could say I was strong enough to make it more than three days, but goddammit, I need to sleeeeeeeeeeeep.

>>6604079
Try a 5-HTP supplement next time. Improves sleep and reduces alcohol cravings. It's very bad to mix with alcohol, however, so be sure you're not going to start suddenly binge drinking afterwards.

I've been mixing kirsch and midori with white rum and a little lime juice. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it's my brand of kirsch, it takes like artificial flavoring. Help me be more alcoholic, /ck/, how do I make it better?

>>6604114
It's easy. Don't worry about how it tastes. Just drink and drink and drink.

So, It's nearly 4am. That time of night when you crash and feel extremely depressed. Do you pour another glass or fall face first onto your bed?

>>6604126
It's all so clear now.

>>6604138
I don't know. I just eventually wake up to the sound of the alarm and hazily wonder how I ended up in bed.

>>6604089
Do they sell this at GNC or someplace like that? Never heard of it before.

My alcoholism has made me too poor to be an alcoholic. Lucky I paid my rent months in advance during a brief moment of lucidity. Damn, sober sucks. Might try shop lifting tbh.

>>6601828
So you only get hungry once a day? When I drink I get hungry as fuck.

>>6605049
I liked to get drunk and chase women. Then I stopped going to work. Now I can't do either. I don't envy future me.

How'd you get into your addiction, fellas?

For me it just kind of grew from just having a glas of whisky every few nights, then ever night and so on

>>6605111
Not him, but same goes for me. When i have my drunk days i only eat 2 slices dry bread or something like this. rarely more than 200 kalories of food. alcohol kills my appetite.

>>6605111
>>6605192
When its my first night I usually get quite hungry. Second and third my body is starving but it isnt letting me know. Fourth and onwards I dont get the buzz anymore and have to wait another three - four days until I can start feeling it again. Guess my body has a strong sense of self-preservation.

>>6605171
I remember two or three years ago around new years eve I was at my parents house. My sister and her boyfriend were fucking and the loneliness got to me again. I guiltily poured myself one.
I came home a few days later and from then on it has been a ride. I remember pulling off full week of drinking two years ago. I even injected bcs I wanted to try how it feels. Nowadays it seems I have to wait more and more if I want to have the buzz going strong. Perhaps when Id started to work out again and have a more varied diet the buzz and the fuzzy feeling would be like in the old days.

>pic not really related

>>6605171
I started young, had periods where I stopped, but recently started again. Specifically yesterday, with 35cc scotch, two glasses of gin, two glasses of wine and a beer to wash off the smell.

Also, I never knew there was an alcoholics general on /ck/. It's good to know there are people to share this with.

Just don't drink everyday.

I don't know man, I've been slamming about two bottles of wine or 2/3rds of a bottle of vodka since a long time by now, and I'm losing weight. I do go for a run twice a week and started watching my calories, but I can't believe alcohol actually adds up that much and I'm not a fat fuck. I know the cal in VS. cal out, no bullshit about metabolism, but I'm at a healthy BMI.

Thought I read somewhere that the calories of alcohol tend to reduce in certain ways? Could be wrong though.

OT: just finished my masters, sitting alone ignoring calls from people because I'm too poor to go out without having to cut down my alcohol budget, which I just can't. Also my ex is having fun somewhere without me. With a lot of attractive people trying to get her, I reckon. Meanwhile my dick isn't functioning due to alcohol and God knows what so I've even stopped fucking sloots on a regular basis. Life is truly suffering.

Probably. You'll have to check for yourself. I just search for the best deal I can find in internet stores.

how do you just stop?

it's gotten so bad that the smell of alcohol makes me gag but I still force it down every night. then in he morning I feel like death, no hangover but the unbearable feeling of stomach acid in my stomach, throat and the back of my mouth that lasts for 5 hours or so after drinking a gallon of water and forcing myself to throw up.

I have this bottom shelf handle of vodka that I bought yesterday that tastes like fuel that I desperately want to throw away but can't.

fucking kill me.

>>6606032
Trying stopping with the intention of starting again later. Pour that vodka down the toilet while promising yourself that you'll get some more in a fortnight. You might find it less of a psychological hurdle.

Then fill your belly with food.

>>6606054
I tried that last week and lasted only to yesterday. I appreciate the suggestion though. Apparently I have gastritis which isn't that worrying but I wonder how long it will last. Maybe after a while of some fucked up mornings I will have no choice but to stop.

I drink all the time and never got alcoholics. I drink for the taste, and it's hard to get something with that high ABV that you can drink a lot of that doesn't taste like shit.

>Perhaps when [...] the buzz and the fuzzy feeling would be like in the old days.
I have bad news for you : the very point of an addiction is that you search for the effects of the first times while being unable to reach them, so you use more and more of the product to try to get close.
From my experience, even stopping for a long time won't even help. I didn't drink for a year, and while my first sip made me nice and tipsy, I drank the rest of the vodka bottle in the night. (I had been cheated on and wanted to get wasted.)

>>6606132
No it's not. Do you mean you can't afford it?

Bros why cant i stop. Im going to lose school and my gf.
My bipolar shit is getting worse and im sure this is the cause. I may just be self medicating but im phtsically addicted now. I got the shakes and threw up on my midterm last time i tried to stop.


What can I do?
What do you do?

>my only friend just got deployed
>nothing to do
>get loaded at the bar every night of the week because I don't want to drink alone
>spent all my money for the month on alcohol

ooops

>>6607118
:(
i may be drunk but i feel for you

>>6607108
go see a shrink, get referred to a rehab program AND free drugs for bipolar
win-win

>>6607129
Don't worry, I think i've figured out the key.

You have to get loaded on cheap liquor at home, then go out and have a few cheap pints instead of buying all your alcohol at the bar.

>>6607131
Already on lamotrigine and wellbutrin


I start school on monday. Ive fuked up every opp that had been give to me its like i cant. But whatev. Vodca is my mistress. What works for you not for me. Maybe...maybe stop.


That was me teying to be the "old rambling guy".
but really rehab seems kinda fucked but it might be it

>>6607183
Also this cuz like. Who didnt love this movie

Once again here to tell every able anon to seek Kratom. Do your own research on it. Get it while it's still legal. It cured me of my crippling alcoholism without me even trying to quit. If kratom is not available where you live, order phenibute online.

I love you all. Good luck.

>>6607389
explain

>>6607587
>>6607389
Yeah, sounds similar to pot to me. Baclofene do help, and doesn't make me high.

just came home, only had a couple of glasses of wine so far. gonna take it easy tonight, no liquor, just a bottle of chilled red.

anyone wanna drink together?

>>6608147
I will be tomorrow!

>>6591488
I don't have time to drink with my new job so I drank early morning

I'm going to die

>>6591488
20 hours w/o alcohol I'm starting to feel the fears. I'm planing to drink 20 cold ones.

>>6591488
Went on a decent bender this week. 30-pack, bottle of wine, around 15 shots of shine/brandy over a 3 days period. Damn it felt good. Went fishing today and deciding to go easy for a while.

not a full blown alcy but definitely feel i'm borderline. no problem with no drinking for a little while but if I get the opportunity I'll drink everything.

had 16 beers last night 12 of which were by myself.

>>6608562
>wine

Nothing of value was lost unless you are a woman or a homosexual.

>>6608628
Kindred soul.

I too have taken up fishing. To avoid drinking. Just sitting on that dock with a sandwich, a rod, and a reel. No intent of catching anything, just enjoying the sun.

Hey /ck./ This is my first time posting on this board. I've never drove drunk, and never ever will. I didn't even start drinking until I turned 21. What's driving drunk like? I'm not trying to sound like an asshole. I just want to try and understand it.

>>6608778
for a rough approximation play GTA and try to drive safely
then get drunk and try it

>>6608716
Coming from a fairly hardcore alcoholic, the main problem is drinking alone. It's not a big deal if you like to have a beer or two, but, at least for me, that beer or two quickly turned into getting drunk every night.

All that said, for me, it's a number of mental issues that cause my drinking (I'm not blaming anything, life is just more bearable when I'm drunk), and that's not great, obvi.

Remember when you were young and a hangover could be fixed with a glass of water and a tylenol? Now i have to go through my phone and internet history to figure out where and what the fuck i was doing the night before. Which is also why i deleted my facebook account, just in case.

>>6608742
Right. You'd never consider a great Cab or Syrah with a nice grilled steak, or smoked pork.

>tfw you're a regular at the liquor store and you don't even get carded anymore
>tfw you're 22
>tfw you're in there every few days buying a box of wine

i know they can see the deadness in my eyes at the checkout

and the store has a rewards program with a point system. the alcoholic in me participates in it for the discounts on booze, but the points are just how many dollars you've spent with a zero

i have 8000 points for the year so far

>>6608930
It does not get better. When I lived in a bigger city, I was literally a stone's throw away form a gas station where I bought beer. It was on the way home from work, so I always stopped and got an 18 pack of peebr nearly every night. One day the guys said "just the pbr," to which I replied "yeah." He just said "of course."

I couldn't even be upset because it was my life. Shit job, get beer, chug as much as I could, pass out, rinse and repeat. You can turn things around, bro.

Fudj fuys i ale s ak myswlf if i am acually om tje tiggt fucjong path in mt life ken says i am but fucki domy even lnow anymore

>>6608930
I pity you.

I've been an alcohol for a while, drinking whiskey or beer or vodka everyday since 2012. Recently stopped drinking Mon - Friday and going to the gym instead. It wasn't as hard as I thought. I'm actually enjoying the sobriety. I just needed a new activity to replace the drinking. Not saying this will work for everyone, but so far it's gone pretty good for me. Getting off of work and running a few miles and making some dinner feels good rather than drowning in whiskey watching netflix and waking up and trying to go to work acting like I'm not hungover.

>>6608628
>pistol grip

On my way to join ya'll's ranks.

>>6608919
I lost so many FB friends because of shit I said while drunk...
Well, I don't have any vegan friend anymore.

(Actually, there is one. The perfect example of the vegan who don't piss of people by talking only of her veganism.)

>>6608909
I put limits on it because i'm afraid of going fullblown sometimes. Like if I get really blown out one night i'll only have a few the next night to keep the anxiety off while I attempt to sleep that night. The following day I won't have anything and slowly go back to no regular, daily drinking.

I much prefer drinking with people, but my current living situation kind of puts all my friends far away.

>>6609311
>tfw you drunk call your ex

waisted and alone here. lets keep the party going.

>>6609352
This is the worst. You read texts, you are all "oh shit, did I really type THAT", and then you see you called. You have no idea what you said, but she unfriended you already on FB, and her last text is "you tell me shit like that? I don't know you anymore. Go die".

I lost a few gf by saying shit when drunk. It's been years, I still don't know what said, beside being worth getting dumped.

>>6609511
Me and you sound like we could hang out bruv. Fuck those birds.

>>6591686
>>6591685
>implying his face is anywhere near her ass.

>>6609534
what is it near? her knee?

Anyone here now? It's 3:30pm and I'm drunk.

Holy shit, this thread lasted a whole week!

After a couple days of being back on the bottle, I spent the first Friday night in many a year NOT drinking. Instead, I took a nice long, hot bath, had some chamomile tea and just relaxed. Slept better than I had all week, too. You know, guys, there might be hope after all.

On today's agenda: clean up this disgusting apartment.

When you're feeling like shit on monday and tuesday, don't give up. Keep going and by thursday you'll feel fine and real fuckin proud you've lived almost a week like a regular human.
Next thing on the agenda: begin to be able to enjoy actual things as much as drinking. But that's some advanced stuff.

>>6609511
In 2009 ish I had a cheap phone which couldn't save texts you'd sent. Only the ones you'd received.
>wake up
>disgusted or mocking replies
>no idea what you've sent

I'm sure you can imagine the rest
