It consists of these rules:

The one I had in July was literal hell. So much agony.
The one I had in 2014 was the worst pain I've ever experienced, but it was only really painful for two days. The one this year in july was not as painful, but it was still incredibly painful, and the extreme pain lasted four days, since my blood work was done on a saturday and I had to wait until monday to get the pills that actually worked.
Used the leftover pills in august and september and the gout only lasted two days and three days, while the july one was like a week and a half.

It gets worse by itself. You have to make an active effort for it not to worsen.
If you drink regularly, your tolerance increases : you need more to reach the same spot, and you experience minor withdrawals when you're sober so it's hard not to drink.

Drinking has never felt good. Never drank for fun. Try to drink alone and to slip into numbness after dealing with nonstop bullshit, pulling magic out from my ass to make shit happen for everyone while reaping no benefits but stress and more exploitation of my efforts. God forbid I put my foot down because any time that happens, shit really hits the fan and fucks me in the ass in both the short and long run. I can stop drinking whenever I choose because I've put it to the test, but this constant cold, dead inside hatred feels like shit. So every now and again, I pour some alcohol on that shit and marinate in a moment of unfeeling. Those moments are my highlights. My tolerance seems to vary based on what I've eaten, horrendous sleep schedule, mood, stress levels. Maybe I've gone crazy. Sometimes it takes half a bottle of liquor to get where I need to be. Other times, only a few shots. But I digress. Drivel over.

Own it then.
Also If you want to get rid of the voices. Stop using your brain,literally. Stop thinking. Become the dumbest thing in your immediate surrounding.

It sounds counter-productive, but by not thinking much, you can put it more effort and pound whatevers in your way.
I used to do just that. I was the happiest, most successful and content man in the world.

I do not have that luxury of being dumb anymore. I wish I never got my family. They just weigh me down, and I have to think a lot, just to ensure their shitty lives are up to their peer standards. Sometimes, I just think up of disappearing from their lives. Taking the bottle and what matters to me, go to countryside and live out as a poor metal worker in some village.

Sadly, it feels pretty good at times. The first 200ml of the day is shit because it's hard to keep it down and thoughts of "why the fuck am I doing this again?" won't stop racing around your mind. Then once you're past that it's however many hours of gross indulgence that feels pretty amazing.

But he just likes playing shitty iphone games, hes fifth grade and can't comprehend multiplications and divisions. Part of it is my fault because I never actually sat down with the fucker to hammer it into him, but goddamn if he showed an inkling of will for anything I would show him the world.
Fuck him though, I will let him do his business, I will do mine until 18 then out of the house he goes. Still trying to think of a way to get rid of the fat bitch that is parasite on my neck.

Not risking getting in trouble for having alcohol in your system (driving, work).
Reduced danger around machines (especially woodworking and lawn care ones).
Depending on your level of consumption, you may also have improved focus, recall, and comprehension.

To drink or not is a simple cost-benefit analysis. What do you get from drinking, and could you do better spending that money on something else?

If you're not sure, try a smaller step. Cut back rather than quit, and give it a month, and see what effects (good and bad) come of it.

Last time I drank, downed almost the entire bottle of vodka. Hadn't thrown up for some time. It sucked. Had a hangover. I don't think I've ever blacked out, no matter how much I've drank. The next day, on the way to work, my body felt tingly, cold, and numb like I was a glorified corpse roasting in the light. It barely felt like my body. Everything seemed surreal.

I've been drinking to forget for years. I mostly drink now because I've been addicted to it. I even don't drink as much as I used to, but still being stone cold sober is just bad for me. Because of my mind being so used to the alcohol my thoughts race a mile a minute when I'm completely sober and I just don't like that. I think that is just caused by the dependence on the drug though. When I get a few drinks in me it's like my thinking becomes controllable to a degree and I can focus on what I'm doing, enjoy it, and live in the moment.

A good culling of the social circles, possessions, habits, activities et cetera. Cutting out everyone and everything that doesn't feel like a positive contribution and more of a useless obligation. Cut out all the deadwood. Making life as simple as it can possibly be and then only carefully and deliberately adding things of value, if at all. Ditch social media, change email and phone number if necessary. I guess you could move house even, but I didn't.

Also exercise, proper diet, sleep hygiene and daily meditation practise. Cold showers and fasting optional but recommended.

Basically creating the most simple and austere life possible and learning to be contented with that. If you achieve that the rest is just decoration and variety that can be abandoned in an instant if necessary.

The way to 'succeed' at life, if there is such a thing, is to be happy/contented, I'd say. That's a mental state. If that state can be achieved with the bare minimum of externalities then all the better because it's more robust and easier to maintain.

You need to realise you have a fetish, which is just a fixation on an inanimate object or situation.
But that is all that it is just a fetish, it might get you off, but you never have to act it out as it is only pretend, you could roleplay, cum then forget about it.
No use beating yourself up about such a silly thing as fixation on an object or being humiliated, no women could even truly cuck you, only pretend to, just to please you.

My father, when he was 23 years old, had 5 children, stable income, didn't rely on anyone but himself, worked several different jobs and owned his own business and was competent at every one of those. He was kicked out of his father's house when he was 15 and never complained, he only studied up to 5th grade and was still able to achieve all of that and become extremely wealthy. He didn't have connections either.

Me, I had decent parents, was not kicked out of home, had education paid for me by my father and objectively speaking I'm not even 1/10th of the man my father is/was.

I have managed to fuck up every goal I've set to myself and have not achieved anything so far (27 years old currently). I have debt I cannot pay (thought my father offered to have it cleared for me but I denied), I'm currently employed at a failed business which only keeps generating debt and my mental state is deteriorating with each passing day. I'm ashamed to even look my father in the eye, and if it weren't for him, I'd be homeless by now. I've resorted to alcohol to forget the pain I feel. Actually, I don't feel anything anymore, I just live each day because I'm alive, I've lost the ability of having emotions.

So, by any standard, I have failed miserably in life. I'm still stuck in the 3rd world shithole I live in, which I had promised myself to leave for a better country.

Because my father and mother were great people I'm not living in poverty and need like 90% of the people in this country.

But I have not done anything to deserve that, I was simply born to decent parents. So luck had it that I'd not die a horrible violent death on the streets of a South American shithole.

My only dream was to be able to move to Japan and live life in quiet and peace by myself.

Why do i get depressed when i drink beer but not liquor

>> No.9475303

Guys, I haven't really participated in these threads, but I begin detoxing today, well tonight I guess. Have been a drinker of vodka for over ten years. At the peak I was drinking a fifth a day. Taken maybe 20 days off in the ten years, five of which I was in hospital recovering from surgery. I am worried about the withdrawal process. I have been prescribed 30mg oxazepam (serax) and supposed to take them 3-4 times daily as needed. When I was in the hospital I was on 10mg and didn't experience any withdrawals. I'm hoping for the same but really for anyone that has went through them with or without medicine how bad are they? I don't have anything against alcohol, had plenty of good times but I feel it's time now to quit before my health starts to deteriorate. Doctor told me my liver should recover if I quit now. Wish me luck.

This is the part many detox fail (and why they shouldn't be called rehab if they don't rehabilitate to a sober life)
Detox and withdrawals are hard, but they last about a week (more for very heavy drinkers like Smirnoffbro). Living sober is easy in comparison, but it lasts decades, making it more risky to drink again.
I don't think SB can live sober. He's been drunk for longer than he's been sober in his life, that would be asking a 40yo man to start living from his 16th birthday.
Unfortunately, I don't have much to help. I switched from booze to pot, it works at keeping me dry, but I start having problems with pot too. Memory, cognition, social anxiety...

Benzodiazepines stop alcohol withdrawals, the danger is getting addicted to them. You should taper them over a week (as prescribed I suppose), so you'll probably feel minor withdrawals, but avoid the hell that delirium tremens are.
Follow usual (and lame) sleep hygiene tips, you'll have to teach your brain how to sleep correctly without booze. It'll get better after a week or two.
Also you'll have PAWS, they suck, but it gets better. Wait until brain fog fucks off before deciding if sobriety is worth living. Many don't realise they have brain fog and think this is normal or think it won't go away.

wikipedia say if you have pains in area Y its thymus but thats more localised
so who to trust, wikipedia or a bunch of random websites

only reason im in this thread is ive had alcohol issues in the past (elevated ATL levels and ulttrasound said liver a bit fatty but that a year ago and killed the booze since then) but now im drinking like once, twice a week and its 3-4 beers only, maybe a glass of wine so i dont think its liver/gallbladder but previous history says ehhhh, you did get diagnosed with a fatty liver so could be...

but then looking at wikipedia version Y, im there going thats exactly where the have pain is...

so, liver/gallbladder or thymus or shit posture?

Took a week off, stopped smoking menthols (still smoking lights on my way to quitting) feel better too (was having chest pains). No gout, but I am guessing that's because I am poor. Trying to cook more (had been eating out).

Tonight is beanie weenies. Did I mention I am poor?

maybe making edibles would be better for WDs than smoking? I wouldn't know much about it, just that the one time I did edibles it was super sedating--seems like it help WD more than a psychoactive headtrip.
