/ck/ - Food & Cooking

So I've had nosebleeds 3 mornings in a row now after drinking at night. It is below zero weather here. Besides the cold weather can these nosebleeds be caused by my blood being too thin from alcohol, or do they happen because I've sobered up too much, or either?

>>9941704
could be the dry weather
could be high blood pressure
could be ebola

>>9941723
I don't have anything to measure my bloodpressure in the house, but I monitor my pulse a lot and it seems to be of a pretty consistent force against my fingers as well as a consistent rate most of the time.

>>9941704
I think it's from literally drying out. It has been frigid here for weeks and my wood stoves have been going full tilt for the whole time. Heat without humidity will do that.

>>9941727
I run a humidifier in my living room where I spend the most of my time pretty much 24/7. I even steam up the showers for a few minutes sometimes. I've used salene spray in my nose like once a day but I don't overuse it because that can actually dry you out too.
It's like a few hours after I wake up and I haven't had anything to drink yet, I have gotten a nosebleed I can stop in about like less than 5 minutes and it stays gone (luckily) even after I start drinking.

who's drinking what today and when do you usually start, and how's life?

>>9941752
Bud and Ice 101. Redneck as fuck, I know. But I have spent the day stoking wood stoves and trying to make sure my chickens and ducks stay alive in -30 degree wind chills.

Life is good.

>>9941725
congratz you've contracted ebola

>>9941777
I've been drinking 5% hard seltzer waters because my days of hard liquor smashing are behind me, they just simply are. I'll have a real drink if I'm at a bar or something, but the cost of it forces me into not drinking too much. I don't buy actual liquor for the house at all anymore.
Don't have a job right now so I usually start at 11 or noon everyday and cruise evenly.

>>9941984
Could have left a pic for reference I suppose. I get the lime. Black cherry is good, but the grapefruit is too candyish in my opinion.

I am drinking sake

>>9941992
Shit. Never seen it. I've got to try that lime.

Anyone else ever drink hand sanitizer? God I hated that

>>9942001
It's good and goes down like nothing. You could chug the fuck out of these things if you wanted to but I'm drinking slower because of that nose thing I mentioned and I get paranoid about that shit.
The draw back is that it's expensive. By me a 6 pack costs like 8 or even 9 dollars depending on which store you buy it at.

>>9942013
I have before. Yeah it sucks and it barely did that much for the drunk I was already on.
I never have done it again.

>>9942013
I have. I have also salt separated it with a filter, and put it up my ass. It is best drank analy.

>>9941994
Warm or cold dude, and brand if you would please.

>>9942020
Jesus wept. I'm not wealthy, but I spend whatever I want to spend on booze and 9 dollars for that sounds obscene.

>>9942044
It is obscene, I agree.
I just don't buy liquor because it literally destroys my life almost immediately.

>be sober
>realised that my only human contact is in bars
>haven't left the house for anything but work in weeks
>realised my friends only hung out with me because they had no one else to go out with

This feeling fucking sucks. I'm too old to be trying to make friends man.

Is it possible to quit without doing a taper? I dont want to drag thid bullshit with me anymore, I want OUT.

>>9942059
Fair enough.

Do you just dislike beer?

>>9942075
Yup. It sucks. Make it so you cannot get any booze and clear about 3 days to shake and puke.

>>9942075
Good luck man. When I wind up in detox my doctors tell me not to quit drinking (beds gotta open up. We got a detox at a mental health hospital) cause of the risk of seizures. Alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you

>>9942087
I drink beer and wine as well but this shit only has 4g a sugar a can and I try to avoid sugar as much as I can outside of the wine I drink.

>>9942075
As much as I know you want to be done with it, I really have to recommend you taper.

>>9942114
Fuck. I gotta get on board with this. I'm in diabetes danger with my alcohol consumption.

I'm on a dating site and when i'm drunk i can text like crazy with a girl who is more beautifull than i could ever imagine. She kinda likes me, i can tell. but i can't show my true face. i can't show who i really am. A loser.

Be careful man I was hospitalized with a dude who had diabeties from his drinking

>>9942061
>> I'm too old to be trying to make friends man.

Fuck i can feel ya. It's as if my energy bar for making NEW friends has declined to zero, as apposed to how it was a few years back.

>>9942144
become The Mask.

>>9941752
Taaka vodka straight from the jug. I usually don't start until late at night but I had a shot like an hour ago just because. Not gonna drink anymore until tonight because I don't drink and drive, and the only thing I like more than drinking is driving, food, and sex. About to go for a drive and find some food, but sex is out of the question.

Get back on the wagon drunk single anon. I've lost too many relationships from being a drunk loser. My fiancé left me over it. Booze ruins everythingg.. Shame it's also the cure..

>>9942133
I've just always been a nervous guy pretty much, I'm not really health conscious obviously since I don't want to stop drinking and have in a tremendous capacity for 10 years, but this is a lighter thing I have found for myself to try to lessen what was happening before. I also tend to eat a lot better and cook much more of my own meals than when I was younger.
I wish you the best. I would never say what I do is any better than anyone else, we're all different.

>>9941752
Tuborg beer, started at 10 in the morning, not too bad. kill me.

>>9942170
What's sex like dude.
I'm 28 and I've never had it despite getting a girl into bed 2 times. (same girl)

>>9942075
I hear people talking about tapering so much on here, I've quit alcohol a bunch of times, for periods of a few weeks or even a month or two at a time, and I've never had to taper.

I typically get blackout drunk every night of the week but then stay sober during the day. Is tapering just for those who have gotten used to drinking round-the-clock?

>>9942109
I went to rehab once, having been forced by my parents, and the nurse there kept telling me that at the initial intake. "Don't just quit, gradually taper." I kept telling her I hadn't had a drink in 36 hours and I wasn't experiencing any adverse effects, but she kept saying, "No, you must taper!"

I go to rehab and they insist I start drinking again. Go figure. Those places are a sham anyway.

What do you guys do for a living?

I'm looking for a job I can drink at and if I'm caught it will be no big deal.

>>9942230
If you are a heavy drinker and suddenly stop, your body con go into shutdown mode, and possibly die form it, that's why you need to taper, but depends on the volume of drinking.

>>9942158
Teach me senpai.

>>9941704
It was probably a mixture of the cold air and the alcohol, I used to get really bad nosebleeds when I was drinking heavily. Plus your blood has a harder time clotting when you're drunk so you'll bleed longer before the nosebleed stops

>>9942260
Okay that sounded troll-ish, but i need real advice hear. i'm feeling pretty lonely and i'm having an uhh- Inferiority complex at the moment cause of the alcohol and the weed.

Haven't been to a legit rehab here cause I don't have like 15 grand but I am gonna check out one covered by rehab. I drink around the clock. I wake up still drunk. I drink more before I even get out of bed if I can remember where I hid the bottle. I'm hiding it from myself for fuck sakes

Withdrawal sucks man. It started with what I thought were panic attacks. Now I end up not. Showering for week and hallucinating. Every body is differwnt

done 750ml el dorado rum in 35min, n 3 colt 45 king cans. have person to buy those 40mg oxy. made $400 fucking rock cost me 80 to make. KeK

>>9942239
I work at a package handling facility as a loader and half my coworkers come in either drunk or high. I've seen people piss on boxes because they were too drunk to make it to the bathroom, I remember a few weeks back a guy came in really meth'd up and jumped a supervisor because "He was a bitch ass white boy"

>>9942276
no idea. im teo different people sober and drunk. both sides make mistakes and both have some charm. i got nothing for you dude. good luck tho

maybe just go for 5/10 girls for a while to boost your confidence

>>9942297
Fkn LOL. i thought I was bad for passing out drunk in my bosses office

>>9942299
>>maybe just go for 5/10 girls for a while to boost your confidence

I tried that once but her pussy stank. If i hang out too much with those kind of bitches i'll turn gay. especcially with me browsing 4chan.

Hmm.. gyess i'll try to stop smoking weed.. tomorrow.

>>9941752
Sake

>>9942229
It isn't as good as a blowjob. Sex is neat but it's too much work for me. I'm a lazy man.

>>9942319
Weed isn't going to help your anxiety. If you live in a legal state, look for a cbd strain, or pure cbd distillate. It can be calming. Just try and avoid anything with too much thc in it.

>>9941752
Rum from new years eve, started at around 18:00 hours, life is alright untill i finish my 1st couple of drinks. then it transforms into some sort of contradiction. I feel so good, but oh so sad at the same time.

>>9942334
True, i would be catching my breath after sex, but blowjobs would be chill as fuck.

>>9942339
I know. I guess i'm just scared for the unknonwn, scared for my future. Who do i bond with? Who is it okay to bond with, with whom is it destiny to depart? Weed in combination with alcohol really makes me think and reflect too much on my life.

>>9941698
Asked this a few days ago but the thread was nearly dead.

I've been drinking heavily for 3-4 days on average for the last 10 years, but I'm not dependent on drink at all. I can go a couple of weeks if I have to in order to get leaner etc, but it's fucking boring. Anyway my point is this. I used to be able to drink for 2-4 days and the effect would obviously get weaker on the 3rd and 4th day, now I can't go two days of drinking without my eyes feeling absolutely shit, like my clarity is completely gone after a few beers. I have worn glasses for nearly ten years and my prescription has been the same for the last few years. My eyes pretty much haven't degraded at all. My problem is that I have what I call a second hangover, by which I mean that I till feel rough the day after my hangover (usually from at least 3 days heavy drinking in a row) This has been normal for me for nearly ten years, but now on my 'second' hangover my eye bags swell up and I look like a fucking crackhead. I look worse than when I'm actually hungover, and it's fucking embarrassing.

Anyone have a similar experience, or know why this is happening?

>>9942512
thats odd. no clue. maybe your roomate has started nutting in your eyes when you pass out

>>9942563
nope. mouth and back. nothing weird.

Why do I feel sleepy after having a few beers but can stay awake all night drinking stronger beverages? anyone can relate?

>2 threads

for what purpose

>>9942605
Kek

Daily drinker.. gallon in 2 days, sometimes 3. I think the only thing keeping my life mostly together is forcing myself to wait till 7 pm to start....... 30 more mins fuck me

I swear to god the reason I'm gonna quit boozing is cause of the COMSTANT feeling of having to shit. I'm goin to chug vodka on the shitter.

>>9942630
Excessive intake of alcohol causes euphoria. It acts more as a stimulant imo, to alcoholics, than it does a sedative at certain doses. But to answer your question directly: maybe its just you.

not really an /alc/ at this point, but everything has become dull for me without alcohol at this point
working 10-6 everyday with lackluster gf, only have the weekends for some relaxation
even then, with numerous gaming possibilities and money to spend, nothing is really as fun without being drunk

am i doomed?

>>9942230
For me personally it's an around the clock thing. On a better note, stomach just settled after a ~9 day binge, feels good man. Then again, the nausea is the only thing that bothers me. Washing off the filth feels amazing and I actually enjoy the night terrors and vivid dreams but then again I also enjoyed DPH so that's just me.

>>9942759
thats a large quantity of booze, anon. cut back.

>>9943029
Not doomed unless you have no self control. Keep your affairs in order.

>>9943093
i have some self control
don't really drink on the weekdays, but have at least one bender per weekend
just hate the boredom aspect, feeling stuck in loops

>>9943115
That comes with being an adult for most of us. Most of us don't have terribly exciting lives as adults. Some self-destruct over this. Others push forward.

>>9943088
I know man... working on it. Idk what tge fuck im doing

well after streching a 750ml over 5 days now I'm feeling pretty decent.

To any successfully detoxed and sober anons:

How long did it take you to taper / detox?

i havent drank since new years morning
my friend went to rehab that morning
umm i told my other friend i woundt drink with him, and within 2 hours he was drinking the cider in front of him that he thought was gross.
i had the ass of a friends beer the other day and tasted someones beer today. i have two gross chocolately tasting pilsners in a cooler in the unplugged fridge on an iceblock.

ive been eating massve amounts of candy recently and eating too much becuase i am pretty fucking high. but yeah, massive amounts of candy, probably plowed a lb of sugar in the past 3 days

at this rate of drinking ( i plan on plowing those two beers someday between the 10th and 14th) when will i be detoxed?

i imagine between now and then someone will shoot me a beer or something

Vodka out of the handle, started at 9:00am, and life is ok. I’m about to move and haven’t found a new place, but I’ve got cash for a storage unit and plenty of offers from friends for a spare room if this REALLY goes to shit.

>>9944199
Depends on how you look, what time of the day/how many patrons are in the bar, and what type of bar it is.

>oh m8 i had 4 beers last night im an alcoholic
/thread

How do I cure a very bad hangover asap.

I relapsed last night and feel like shit. Worse then normal when I drank all day every day. Somehow hangovers get worst if you get sober briefly

Also out of curiosity, who believes there is a life after this life? Not a God but life after this

>>9944394
Get back on it.
Have a shot of whatever's to hand, then some water, sugar and caffeine.
Food when you're ready.

Three bottles of wine Friday night, 5 bottles Saturday, one bottle 4:30am Sunday. Felt a little seedy but slept till 11am Sunday. Felt pretty good all day today. Not going to drink Sunday night for the first time in a good 6 months.

Bored as shit though.

Anybody here take loperimide? I'm getting sick of taking a shit a dozen times a day. It's all pale froth anyway.

>>9942230
You're one of 1% who don't have withdrawals yet. You can still kindle and will have withdrawals if you go cold turkey repeatedly.
From medical point of view, when you say "I don't have withdrawals" they hear "I'm still in denial about my alcoholism and/or how bad it is, and try minimise its implications" and taper you anyway because there's more possible harm in cold turkey than useless taper.

>>9942239
>I'm looking for a job I can drink at and if I'm caught it will be no big deal.
Bartender? Sexy bartender patrons pay drinks to?

>>9945280

>Bartender

Every restaurant I've worked at there were (somewhat) sexy bartenders who got fired for drinking on the job. Every. Fucking. Time. On the other hand, I worked as a line cook and came in drunk pretty much every single day, but was still better than most of the other cooks so nobody every blinked an eye. (Obviously the difference was that I wasn't stealing from the place.)

>>9944323

you need to stop posting the same thing in every thread kid

i have been drinking anywhere between 15 and 20 pints of beer a night for about 7 months straight now...

do i need to taper? i woke up the other day so fucked i went to ER but somehow registered nothing on the breathalyzer so they wouldn't treat me.

too drunk

>>9942563
kek. Nobody else has problems with their eyes besides the obvious effect of getting drunk?

It's starting to piss me off now, think I might quit since I barely enjoy it anymore. Life will be even more boring now :(

>>9944401
Rough stuff. Why are moms such cunts? Sounds like yours is a hardcore feminist too, those are the worst. Feminism makes everything worse.

Is that what you meant last thread, by “I feel like suit drinking and I feel like suit sober. scored 50x40mg pay for a ball of rock. Woof woof”?
Lol.

Ugh. Day 4 drinking to stop anxiety, puking and shaking because of one night relapsing and getting wasted on 560ml. Managing to reduce substantially daily, but if I just stop, even after just one fuck up, it’s just too much suffering. Never again. I’ve simply got to be sober. Fucking hell.

Anyway, I'm drinking Coors light as is my custom, most of the way through this 12 pack because fuck everything

>>9945359
Yeah if you're being serious man you'll need to taper down over the course of a few days at least otherwise you'll go through some pretty rough withdrawals.

>>9945359
go to another ER until they treat you properly

>>9946156
just keep shagging her mate

>>9946156
It takes basically nothing for a girl to instantly hook up with someone else, because there will always be a home provided by a new dick. I bet society would go into meltdown if stats were released showing how many grils fuck someone else just as a result of an argument. It’s just the way it is. No point being pissed off. Just be aware that it’s inevitable, and move on after the first serious argument you have. The alternative is to scream and cry and her fuck someone else anyway.
Who ever said relationships were supposed to last. Just find someone new with whom there’s no conflict. Loads of grils out there.

>>9946219
Well yeah, stopping was never an option. This chick is hot and she basically drinks my fucking blood so I'm gonna be in this place until one of our emotional glass houses shatters.

>>9946220
I know. Trying to move on. I feel loads better than I did right after it happened. She didn't make it easy though. I was basically her only real friend that actually cared and when she realized what she did she begged me to take her back. I wasn't about to nail the coffin shut on my masculinity by taking her back after her she found comfort and solace on that dude's cock, but goddamn. I still have feelings.

"Squirmy mind, slithering and sliding about seeking excuses to get soused."

How do you like my alliteration, al/ck/? I fucking hate it, I'm in the mood to be sober but I can't stop thinking of how awesome it feels to be drunk and I'm beginning to want to just bloody drink! My mind keeps fucking with me, giving me all kinds of reasons to drink! Is it the end of the world if I drink? Fuck no; I have plenty of money, I have my health, I've already been sober 2 days (not intending to remain sober), and really there's no actual reason for me NOT to drink besides just wanting to try to extend my sobriety and reach 4 straight days without drinking, but... FUCK! It's hard... damn hard...

Pic awesome, but unrelated. God save Ireland.

Why do normies get so mad whenever I mention driving around with a little bit of a buzz?

Am I really supposed to call an uber every time I need to go somewhere, but I've had 2-3 tall boys and a couple shots beforehand? Fuck that, I own a car and I'll drive it when and where I want to

>>9946156
If a girl cheats on you you have to cut off all contact immediately. No exceptions. Sorry anon, you will feel better with time. Drinking will only prolong the healing process.

>>9946344
>Why do normies get so mad whenever I mention driving around with a little bit of a buzz?
Because you make poor choices when you're intoxicated and can't even tell you've "got a buzz" until it's too late.
>Am I really supposed to call an uber every time I need to go somewhere,
Yes dumbass. You also shouldn't be a fucking snowmobile driving across traffic. We're tired of dying, or at least receiving physical harm and/or expensive damage to our vehicle, because you couldn't control yourself or make the right choice.
>I've had 2-3 tall boys and a couple shots beforehand?
Intoxicated even if you can hide it. You should be staying the fuck away from motor vehicles, heavy machinery, fire, and electricity.
>Fuck that, I own a car and I'll drive it when and where I want to
The mentality of a child who doesn't understand responsible, care for themselves, or care for others. Owning a firearm doesn't mean you should be able to run around shooting at random people.

>>9946328
Normally 2 sober days isn't tough, but after all the drinking during the holidays... the itch is on stong. Reminds me of early July, I had done quite a lot of drinking for Canada Day/Memorial Day, I think I was also celebrating some book stuff, but God damn, I had run out of money and/or booze or something like that, can't remember the circumstances, but it sucked hardcore. Wanted to drink SO damn bad. No wait, I wasn't out of money OR booze, but I knew if I didn't ration myself that I'd run out of both before it was time. I had it all timed so that I'd run out just a day or two before my next payday. Anyways, I'm drinking now. Couldn't hold it off. The crave is real today, anon.

>>9946344
Why don't you grab a gun and go shoot some kids at the nearby school while shouting you're not a child murderer?
Same reason you don't drive drunk, even while you claim not to be.

>>9946380
I'm in the same boat. My skin is crawling. I don't want a beer but it might legitimately be a good idea. I've been at it pretty hard lately.

>>9946396
It's tough, man. I'm drinking tonight. I'll be busy tomorrow night and it SHOULDN'T be hard to be sober again for the day after that, but we'll see. Right now, I just want to get fucking drunk. Disappointed in myself a bit, but gonna do my best to enjoy it.

>>9946344
>2-3 tall boys and a couple shots
yeah nah bro. I drove yesterday after one weak mixed drink feeling no buzz at all and even then I felt wrong about it.

>>9946344
>Fuck that, I own a car and I'll drive it when and where I want to
Well that's a fair choice as long as you're willing to deal with the consequences when you kill a kid and get put in jail with unpleasant people. It's easy to talk tough as long as you're getting away with it.

It's a pretty dumb choice though, risking your own and other people's lives over a bit of laziness and convenience.

You sound like a normie yourself by the way, with your car and your driver's license and needing to go places.

Water desu.

It's almost funny how easy it is to stay hydrated when you're no longer on the sauce.

The fuck? 45% of the worlds cider is consumed in the UK? Christ, is it really so uncommon elsewhere?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42595870

Anyone else only drink straight vodka?

Come to think of it, literally the only beverages I've had in the past month were water, coffee, and vodka

>>9946711
Yeah no-one drinks cider here in the south.
Maybe some people order an Angry Orchard or Redd's apple ale

If those are cider?
My wife orders 1 apple ale if she goes to a bar but that one of the only person i've seen order it.

Just got back from the store. I could hardly read before I left. I don't want to drink this, but I think I'm giving myself brain damage by not drinking. Does anyone get worried they're going to have a seizure while driving?

>>9946726
Vodka chased with water is the cleanest, most fuss-free way of being an alchie imo. I do drink a lot of cider too though, because it’s so much easier using it to taper.

>>9946734
Never heard of them. Huh, ok. Cider is absolutely everywhere in the UK, especially among alcks.

>>9946743
I am more worried of getting pulled over.

>>9946749
Huh yeah here in the south cider just doesnt exist. I have never seen it except for those 2 apple ales.
Liquor is too cheap to even care about anything else, its $6.99 for a fifth and $8.99 for a liter of 80proof here.
Or if you find a moonshiner you can get a jar of 130-40proof peach or apple for like 10$

Some stores even sell handles for $12 here.

>>9946726
I only drink coffee during sober stretches, otherwise I'm jittery enough as it is.

>>9946761
I'm not drunk. My brain is just scrambled from not drinking.

>>9946765
Oh yeah I feel ya then
I feel like im going to fucking blank out and go off the road when driving during wds. I sometimes am too anxious to even figure out how to get out of my house and have to have my brother bring me liquor.
I tell him ill pay you double what it cost as long as you bring it here

>>9946744
That's normally what I drink, but lately I've been addicted to choccy milk.

>>9946711
It radiates above the sea, apparently.

Brittany and Normandy over-consume cider/cidre.
(And I can't find a damn .jpg map, sorry)

>>9946743
Withdrawals driving can be worse than drunk driving.

>>9946787
Like, using chocolate milk as your chaser?
I did that the other day and it was pretty pleasant. If it’s the store bought kind it’s so sugary and thick. The one rule is that is must stay cold, otherwise it’s gross.

>>9946787
I love choco milk but it is NOT a chaser.
I had the worst absolutely projectile vomit last week from drinking a liter of choco milk with my shots.
I thought it was going to be the end.

WHY must you continue to convince me to drink dairy.

>>9946819
Yeah, I was projectile vomiting it up earlier. It was very unpleasant. But what I will say about dairy is that it's easy on the throat.

>>9946821
True. I drink a lot more milk than I normally would because of all the heartburn I get now. I used to laugh at people who had heartburn. Now I understand. And it's my fault no less.

>>9946921
Heartburn and acid reflux, man. Fucking hell.

How is your Sabbath going lads? Myself, I threw up after having my morning half pint and the last half was blood red. Not a good sign.

>friend calls me a pussy for using a chaser
>he still visibly recoils after shots

>>9946953
You can’t drink normies under the table?
I once had a vodka drinking contest with an 18yo girl. She tapped out before I did, even though she’d secretly filled her bottles with water, lol.

>>9946967
I'm 105 pounds and I'm 7 shots in and barely tipsy.

>>9942239

Construction, warehouse jobs, seasonal blue collar stuff. Guys show up all kinds of fucked up but as long as you carry your weight and are reliable they usually don't give a fuck.

>>9946991
350ml of ethanol is about what I need to start really feeling it. Or 700ml if you count the booze I throw up while trying to keep 350ml down. I’m like 190lbs I think.

>>9946938
Anything containing lactose makes my heartburn a lot worse. Beer or god forbid cider, are like drinking carbonated lava.

>>9944199

Weird but not as weird as going to bars by yourself pounding a few beers and not talking to anyone while being on your phone the whole time. Ask me how I know.

>>9944394

Work out. You have to sweat out the hate. You'd be surprised how human you feel after a coffee and a run.

>>9947025
I’ll never understand how you can do anything so physically demanding while hung over. Just opening my eyes makes me feel like the world is ending.

>>9947017
Because you sat next to me while I was using my phone to play audio books and drink blue moon and jaeger?

>>9947031

It's fucking miserable but I'd rather bite the bullet and suffer for a half hour than feel subhuman all day.

>>9947060

Yeah, I was the guy shitposting on /alck/ while pounding stouts.

>>9941698
Alright but seriously how do I stay buzzed every waking minute?

>>9947080
Uh
Drink every waking minute?

>>9947031
Cause that whole "world is ending" is just a feeling. If you do something productive you will feel better. Anything is better than sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself.

>>9947072
I'm pretty sure that board is so slow that Kirty himself is ashamed. I doubt you were trolling there.

>>9947087
It’s a result of being poisoned and dehydrated, while my body and brain have a screaming panic attack because they can’t properly function without more poison. If im really hitting it and I’m rekt by ataxia, I’m lucky if I can stand up...

its been 8 hours and i have had 6 x beers.

When tapering are you meant to do it all at once or spaced out over the day?

>>9947091

Nah, if I'm at a bar by myself I just funpost on 4chin. Don't usually interact with anyone unless they talk to me first or a woman is obviously interested.

>>9947111
I only headed to bars after work for a few drinks before heading home after a long day. Or to go to a hippie bar when a good band is playing. I'd go to cop bars and sports bars when I was with friends.

>>9947110
spaced out. the idea of a taper is you drink to keep the really shitty side of withdrawals away. so basically, when you wake up with the shakes, drink a beer and the shakes should subside somewhat. then you wait for them to come back and then drink another beer. you should try to avoid getting drunk if you can.

>>9947126

that makes a lot more sense.

at this point i am only awake between like 5 and 5am, not shaking when i wake up though and wait til 9 to have my first beer

>>9947181
If you are able to get by on 6 beers today then have 4 tomorrow, and try and space them out even further. Then 2 or 3 the next day and so on. A taper isn't enjoyable but it's a safer way to get sober than just going cold turkey. If you aren't shaking then that's probably a good sign anon.

>>9947200
I should add that a lot of al/ck/s fail tapers because the idea of a couple of beers a day is just teasing them in (myself included). You need strong willpower if you were drinking heavily before your taper.

>>9947211

these are 500ml cans btw. Maybe tomorrow i will switch to bottles (2/3 volume)

before this i was drinking 16 or so 7.5% beers a night so this is a hell of a temptation to only have 6 .

thanks for all your advice, the hardest part is not just chugging them one after the other.

>>9947243
I tapered using 500ml cans too. I was always a beer drinker and the weekend is what eventually fucked me over (pretty much 48hrs drunk) and then trying to go back to zero beers during the week. Repeated that for a few years and then I got withdrawals out of nowhere which felt awful so i tapered off.

What helped me was getting bottles (even if they're 500ml), because then you can pace yourself and see how much is left. It sucks at first but once you have that amazing sleep you will find it easier to go slower with the booze. At least that's what happened to me.

>>9947243
Also, what helped me was buying a specific amount lower than the previous day, right as the store was closing so that even if I wanted more, I couldn't buy any. That also meant I sipped the beers instead of chugging because I didn't want to run out straight away.

>>9947261
>>9947273

that's exactly what i do, yesterday i had 7 cans today was 6, going to do 5 tomorrow spaced out etc until it goes down to 1 :/

Some of the tapers i have seen take weeks and weeks, this one will be like 8 days... it seems insane that the body can get used to not needing alcohol at a cellular level so quickly after having been inundated with alcohol for like 7 months every day

Who Thatchers here?
Its so easy to drink, might have some rum later.

>>9947316
weeks sounds like a long taper dude. I did a 5 day one and avoided the shit withdrawals. Still had anxiety and trouble sleeping but it wasn't severe or anything.

At the peak of my drinking a few months ago I would be in a bar in the city at 10am necking pints of 7% craft beer until I realized how expensive it was (ausfag) and for the same price of 10 pints I could get 48 cans and drink at home all day. Spent the time on my phone but never on 4chan for some reason

Only if you want to get laid. If it's a blue collar dive bar feel free to drown your sorrows and be antisocial. It's a crucial part of the ambience.

>>9947031
Working out is my go to when i'm hung over. It destroys a hangover and you generally are drinking water while working out. Also, the feeling that you are actually doing something positive for your body and mind which is so rare aside from that. It doesn't have to make sense as long as it works. Also, daily multivitamin is a must.

>>9947813
*tips*

>>9947948
How often do you drink?

>>9942759
A gallon of what though? I probably go through a gallon of beer in 2 or 3 days on average when that's what I'm drinking, but that's not really very much. A gallon of whiskey on the other hand would be another story.

>>9947997
Caring what hat someone wears is the epitome of fashion faggotry, anon. Just sayin’. It’s like the /b/tards who’s rather smoke themselves to death than use a vape.

>>9943115
Watch the Weekend benders man. I would drink Friday night-Sunday night non stop and it used to just be a hangover. Around 23 it turned into minor withdrawals and i had to taper after work during the week. It gets worse so just keep an eye on it. Any time you can put between drinking days helps.

>>9948017
Actually, going out of your way to wear anachronistic hats is the epitome of LARPing faggotry.

>>9945359
Yea def taper. I got withdrawals from 12 pack a day drinking.

>>9948029
What’s an acceptable hat for me to wear? I’m not up-to-date with what’s allowed at the moment.
I don’t care what’s fashionable, dude. Why do you?

Fuck I knew this was too easy. Do I go buy a six pack quick and down them all? I don't want to die.

>>9948087
at 5 days you're probably through the thick of it.

that's just good ole alcoholism trying to tell you that you weren't that bad and you need a drink. don't trust it.

>>9948048
You're missing the point, anon. It's not about being fashionable, it's about deliberately dressing up as if you live in another era. People who don't care about fashion just wear whatever, they don't go out of their way to get a tophat and a walking stick.

>>9948087
If you’ve no symptoms after five days you’re fine. I know DTs only hit some people a week or even two weeks after quitting, but I’m fairly certain that those people will not have described the way they feel for the first five days as “too easy”. It’s only if you’ve suffered brain kindling that you’re in danger.
If you can get hold of some booze though, do so and keep them for a week just incase. I’m 99% certain you’ll be fine. And well done for quitting. Don’t start again though, because cold turkey has probably done you some damage, so next time it’ll be a different story.

>>9948048
those newsboy hats that fat people exclusively wear

>>9948087
you'll be fine, DTs show up within 24 hours

>>9948095
No every web site seriously says you can die from quitting cold turkey and to never do it. Also like i said it was surprisingly easy with only Insomnia being a withdrawal symptom. They say it can take 5 days till the worst withdrawals start. I'm guessing that's when people die from it.

>>9948109
I would go one all day drunk weekend benders (20+ a day sometimes) and quit cold turkey on monday for months. It started easy, but eventually i just got full blow wd's (although moderate) after a while. crazy how alcohol do that.

not him btw

>>9948109
>If you can get hold of some booze though, do so and keep them for a week just encase.
All right so if shit really hits the fan I should crack one open and ease myself off it?

>>9948105
You’re missing my point. I don’t care whether you like my hat or not, and neither does anybody care what others think about their attire, unless they’re as I say, the epitome of fashion faggot faggotry.
>>9948110
Finally. I knew this day would come.

>>9948112
I mean how much were you drinking? If the first 5 days were easy I can't imagine it was that much. IDK i'm not a doctor and everyone is different.

You can die from wd's if youre a serious enough drinker, but like the other anon said, i don't think those people described their first 5 days as easy.

>>9948087
Look up brain kindling. It's not fun. Don't get to the point where you need alcohol to actually function. I'm worried about how tonight is going to go for me.

>>9948129
Yeah, just drink enough that it’s no longer scary. Don’t get drunk

Getting close to two years on my sobriety.

Last Time I drank, in the span of two or three days (I really don't know which), I drank 9 bottles of sake, two bottles of vodka, a couple bottles of wine, and some assorted beers I was able to dig out of the basement that were stale. After I drank all that, passing out and waking up a dozen times, I wasn't quite as drunk as I wanted, so then I started taking some low strength painkillers I had laying around. Painkillers have never done anything for me btw. So I just started getting very sick then.

Looking back...I'm pretty sure I was attempting to kill myself. I made up my mind that I'm done. I can't remember the next week or so, because I was physically so sick I couldn't do anything but lay in bed. I called a rehab after that week and went to it. Went to AA for a year or so, have mixed feelings about it.

but I'm sober now, and as much as I loved drinking at one point, I have to admit my life really fucking sucks at this point....but it's fucking amazing compared to what it was like when I was drinking. I seriously wake up, sit my unemployed ass down at my computer and fucking goof off all day, but it feels like I won the fucking lotto.

>>9948129
not the other guy but i, too, am 99% sure that if you are feeling better (as in MUCH better / fine) you are not going to randomly have DT's a week later

DT's are the progression of withdrawal symptoms, the other withdrawal symptoms do not get better before they hit, they get worse

Example
Stop Drinking --> Shakes / Sweats --> Can't Sleep --> Feel better --> Feel better --> No DT's

Stop Drinking --> Shakes / Sweats --> Worse shakes / sweats --> No sleep --> feel worse --> Hallucinations --> DT's

>>9948142
>>9948137
>>9948134
all right thanks for the info guys.

>>9948131
>You’re missing my point. I don’t care whether you like my hat or not, and neither does anybody care what others think about their attire, unless they’re as I say, the epitome of fashion faggot faggotry.
So you actually wear a fedora?

>>9948143
Two years, damn. Can’t even imagine it. And yeah as slow-paced and uneventful as I imagine long-term sobriety to be, it just cannot be worse than being wrecked 7 days a week. It’s non-trivial suffering.

>>9948180
That’s what they’re for, what else would I do with it?

>>9948143
>, I have to admit my life really fucking sucks at this point....but it's fucking amazing compared to what it was like when I was drinking. I seriously wake up, sit my unemployed ass down at my computer and fucking goof off all day, but it feels like I won the fucking lotto.
I'm getting mixed signals. Being unemployed and shitposting is comfy as fuck.

>>9948186
Kek, no wonder you're so defensive.

>>9948181

It's not even that big of a deal. It seriously feels like it was like a week ago or something when I was drinking. Time actually does fucking fly in the sober world, believe it or not. Time flys when you're drunk too, but I at least remember most things now.

Any word from Smirnoffbro or Simpsonbro these days?

>>9948198
Eh?
>>9948199
What was it that made you stop? It doesn’t sound like you got the new hobbies/career/relationship/whatever that people normally require in order that they stand any chance of avoiding relapse. The only time I’ve stopped for longer than a month, I’d just bought a new house and car, and had shitloads of disposable income

>>9948210
I’m alive, not so sure about homerbro. It’s not looking good, he vanished after ending up back in hospital

>>9948210

Damn....when I was at my worst I would have that many 1.5 gal jugs of rossi wine laying around my place. Was always fun at 3 am when you stumble into the pile. I don't know why, but that's always the worst fucking sound a drunk can hear, that glass clinking like fucking crazy.

>>9948227
>the clink of shame when you take out the bins, then the embarrassment as it takes 2 guys to move it

>>9948210
we haven't heard from simpsonbro in months. I hope he's alive at least.

>>9948221
>What was it that made you stop?
I had been thinking of stopping for a while. I mean...I tried to stop a couple hundred of times I'm sure. I also realized that probably in the last 5 years or so of my drinking, I never had an enjoyable moment once. I kept saying if I drank again, I was going to call a fucking rehab. That night...I dunno, I just went kinda nuts and drank like a madman for a few days, I don't even know where I got the booze from, I was flat fucking broke. After that, I just said...that's it. I'm fucking done.

I said that ten thousand times, but that time, i meant it 100%. I mean, before I'd say it and then immediatly think, "Yeah...but what about new years...? Hmm...." and naturally I'd be drinking again at some point. But I dunno, there might be something to the idea of hitting your bottom, because I definitely hit it that night, and I've quit and had no desire at all to drink again.

>>9948225
Glad to hear you are still around, how are you mate? Hope you are well
I had my shit under control for a few months so haven't been here. My girlfriend died in a car crash last month and I have slowly relapsed, back to the hell that "normal" is and I think I will stay here for a while.

>looks like the bottles spell HELP

>>9948225
>>9948242
Fuck, I hope he is ok wherever he is.

>>9948238
Oh yeah....just dragging that heavy, clinking fucking bag, with the bottle tops poking and eventually ripping right through the plastic from all the jostling, and setting that by the road.

I remember the trash guy, who looked basically homeless, picked the bag up once and grunted at it's weight, then shot me the dirtiest look at me. I was watching through the window...and somehow he knew right where I was, just gave me that, "Man...what the FUCK?" look.

>>9948256
I’m pretty well, thanks. I was actually sober for a little while after tapering for the first three weeks of December. I drank a couple of bottles 4 nights ago though, couldn’t really tell you why, and woke to the familiar shaking, puking and ferocious anxiety. I’m just drinking ciders now in an attempt to get back off the shit.
>>9948262
That’s actually what I was trying to spell, but I couldn’t manage it, lol.

Good to hear you are turning towards a way out, or at the very least a reduction in intake. Tolerance is a bastard, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't experienced it. There was a day where a 750ml bottle of spirit was insanity.
>>9948317
Thanks mate. It has been bad. The past few weeks have been very dark, I just don't want to think about it any more and even thinking that makes me feel worse because it is such a selfish thing to say. Saw the car the other day and I just sat and cried for an hour. At the moment it is nice to have some release, but I know I need to get a handle on it soon because I know how bad I can let it get. Sorry for blogpost, just felt like talking about it

>>9948335
>20 bottles
Laughed. But I don’t know why. It’s depressing, not funny. The amount of money I’ve spent on perpetuating this hell, it makes me sad.

>>9948335
I became too embarassed to put my bottle bags out for the trash guys to take, so I dragged them across the street and threw them in this vacant wooded lot for a few years.

Fuckers are all still there, I go and just look at them sometimes. It's a pile of bottles, the bags have all rotted away, about the size of one of those kiddy swiming pools.

>>9948396
>not living in a comfy modern apartment complex with giant anonymous dumpsters

>>9948396
you're an asshole dude. don't litter.

>>9948396

I remember as a kid, riding my bike, I used to come across mounds of bags of bottles laying in ditches or by the road, and wondering what the hell that was all about. Man...that's some pathos.

All kinds of shit I used to see as a kid like that, and I think about now in my alcoholic adult hood. I used to wonder my my friend's dad never went to work, and why there were beer bottles everywhere. I also wondered why he got on the school bus at the bar sometimes.

One day, I stayed over at this kid's house, and his mom was a bartender and she said she had to take us to the bar in the morning, and we could walk to school from there. We fucking gut up at 5 am, and drove down to the bar. I remember thinking, who the fuck is going to go to a bar at 5 am? When we got there, there was a line of mean looking dudes waiting in line at the bar's door, looking pissed that she was 5 minutes late.

>>9948396
>>9948417
>not just using black bags or thick hefty bags
>giving a fuck what your garbage man thinks outside of casual conversation
>not saving your bottles to make your own drinks

>>9948376
Tolerance is very real. And very expensive.
I hope you’ve got some kind of support network outside of the bottle while you’re dealing with that hell. Getting sloshed every day generally results in emotional issues like that being left to fester, so when you do stop drinking, they’re just as bad if not worse, plus you’ve DTs to deal with on top. Good luck dude.

>>9948432
Funny story about your childhood and running into those mystery piles. I would say the mystery is now solved for you.

>>9948466
I used to bury bottles. I once let my dishes get so bad that I buried those fuckers too. Some archaeologist years from now may have a confusing day.

first of all, learn how to carry a bag without it clinking. just let all the bottles settle to the bottom in your apartment, then hold the bag up at arm's length and let your arm movement compensate for any steps you take up or down. no clinking.

second of all nobody is watching you, third of all the bag is opaque so they can't see what's in it

Even the homeless gave me a weird look.

Appreciate it lad. Currently still trying to figure out what to do next. Sometimes I get a plan together and see a way where I can move on with my life but sometimes I don't see any way out and genuinely don't care what happens to me which scares me a little. At the moment it is listening to music, shitposting, and getting tipsy to forget it all and I can momentarily forget about it all.

>>not just using black bags or thick hefty bags

I did used hefty bags. One time I thought I'd be smart and got one of those huge contractor construction type bags, and filled that up with bottles.

I was much to heavy for me to even move. My lawnmower wouldn't even drag it. I just said fuck it and filled up like 3 garbage cans with bottles.

Made a hell of a racket when the trash guys came and dumped them in.

I've had a lot of good sex. I've even landed a few 10s, and had like mind blowing sex for a few hours.

If i'm honest though, on a whole...just whacking off to porn has given me tons more pleasure than actually sex has.

>>9948534
Ugh, I’ve used 1-3 21mg patches every single day of my life for the last 17 years, on top of smoking/vaping. My delivery of new patches got rekt because of the holidays, so today and yesterday I’ve had none. I’ve vaped almost half an ounce of tobacco since this morning, and I’m still tearing my hair out. When my delivery arrives tomorrow I’ll be hit with a sledgehammer if relief and euphoria. Trying to not explode with irrational rage before then

>>9948525
It's already too late. And who are you?

>>9948534
I raise my glass to you.
I'm getting help wednesday. I want and need to change

>>9948558
If I don’t get any whatsoever I go crazy, and the relief after barebacking some qt can’t be overstated.
Kind of agree though with it being overrated generally. Gets very samey unless she’s willing to let me become increasingly kinky.

>>9948558
Same here. Maybe no 10s but I did some some kinky stuff.

The most positive point I think sex have is to stop ruminations about virginity. But they're just replaced with other forms of jealousy.
Hugging is nice though.

I was a seven day a week drinker for many years, started out doing a fifth a day of kamchatka vodka, that became a problem after awhile so I switched to beer. Used to do about 12-15 beers a day, every day. I now drink about 10-12 beers on a schedule of 1 day on 2 days off, and I never day drink period. I'm 30 now and this shit is getting really old so i'm just looking to keep it to weekends from here on out. It's been a long horrible fucking journey from my worst to where I am now.

>>9946036
even a reduction in use is a success imo, just string a bunch of reductions together...

40 days sober. Wew.

this is how it started
then I realized that I could just drink at home and not have the severe social anxiety
times were good
then I started needing a beer to go to sleep
then I started taking a hair of the dog

>>9948087 me again
Roommate said I could have one of his beers. I'm going to have one tonight so hopefully my brain doesn't get btfo from the shock of no alcohol.

Never quit cold turkey, bros.

>>9948566
Just an anon regular in here. Don't go too far off the wagon, tolerance is a cunt

>>9948660
congratulations, 7 days here after relapsing for a hard month after a year sober...getting back on the train

good job dude really, enjoy.

>>9948746
Congratulations friendo. Thanks for your kind words. I'm still a bit fuzzled in the head, (cold turkey does fuck with your head, can confirm) but im sober :)

>>9948729
That's called relapsing.

>>9948742
I'm on the wagon, it was an old story.

>>9948821
>That's called relapsing.
I don't care. Quitting is way easier than I thought it would be. Only now I'm going to do it the way experts/doctors say I should do it. The way that doesn't shock your mind and cause death. But it's been 5 days so I'm probably already fucked.

Just ate some toast with this duck Pâté almost threw up like

>>9948143

Damn dog, it always jogs my noggin that people get drunk just to be by themselves. I only drink because I have to deal with other people. In fact I was much happier when I was a NEET because I never drank or smoked back then.

That's how I am sober. Thankfully the ol alkyhol still makes me feel like a regular, if not reckless, jolly human bean. If it wasn't for the scars and fucked up teeth I have from drunken brawls I could probably pass for a normalfag.

THANK YOU

quick al/ck/ I've had a bad cold and pneumonia over the past two weeks but I'm finally feeling better.
