Fuck off.

I used to drink. I still do, but I used to, too.

This is the drinking board, dum dum. More generally, this is a board for anons who actually consume food and drinks.

fuck off tripfag, no one likes you

>>10181711
Thanks Mitch.
I stopped drinking a little more than 100 days ago and I feel great. Although lately I've had this compulsion to Robo-trip on DXM. Not sure if that's a relapse since I'd be doing it to meditate

>>10181660

>>10181660
Now thar you mention it, why not a thread for people who were never retardrd enough to become alcoholics in the first place? "Civilised alcohol consumption thread, no dumb savages allowed"

>>10181774
You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I post too much. I also read too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.

Its hard but I am slowly reducing my weekly alcohol consumption

>>10181729
I consume water and green tea since I quit drinking alcohol

>>10181873
It's a fair question. It's quite simple, really. I had to win. You see, Anon, I had made winning my whole life, and when you make winning your whole life, you have to keep on winning, no matter what. Understand?

It's been like 3 weeks for me. I've been on and off regarding drinking since the end of November. Before that, I was drinking practically every day. Then I got down to binge drinking like once every week or every other week.

Sometimes I crave it, but I'm getting into some old and new hobbies to pass the time and that's helped me out.

>>10181660
Sober for 10 days now after drinking heavily every night for the last few years. I've been listening to the audiobook of pic related during my commute and I'm almost halfway through it. It is definitely making alcohol less appealing and I haven't really had much trouble avoiding drinking the last few days. Going out with some friends tonight though, so that might be a real test for me.

>>10182424
Does this just touch on alcohol, or can this book help with other addictions? I'm trying to cut out my internet addiction next.

>>10182446
So far it is mostly focused on alcohol rather than addiction in general. I don't think much of what I have read/heard so far would translate that directly to other addictions.

>>10181866
that was random.

>>10182527
no... it is the trains planes and automobles speech.

>>10182518
I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out anyways. Thanks anon.

Im 19, i spent the past two years living in Germany where the drinking age is 16 and oh boy I wasnt surprised when my doctor told me my liver is only functioning at 60% right now. Get some weed and smoke a blunt, fuck alcohol.

>>10181660
I used to get blackout drunk every night. From about age 22-26. Not good.
Now I drink maybe once a month. I lost a lot of weight, I feel better, it’s nice. You can do it too.

>>10182602
Holy shit, how much were you drinking a day?

I've been drinking 2 bottles of wine every single night for years and years, probably close to 10. I only drink a couple nights a week now though, I found Champix for quitting smoking had the added effect of significantly reducing my desire to drink, it also made it not as fun when I did.
I never had any withdrawal symptoms, despite common wisdom being that I should have omg DT'd myself off the map. Life is better without the booze, I just wish I hadn't backed myself into this corner where now I can't enjoy it like a normal person.

Quit drinking for a year, get your diet right, and go to the gym.

It won't fix your life but you'll look and feel much much better. Just the quality of sleep you'll enjoy is worth the effort.

Op here my last drink was on May 2
Last year I went to a bunch of AA meetings saw a therapist once a week for a couple months I feel so much better only problem is I started eating like shit and craving ice cream almost every night put on 25 pounds over the last nine months but I'm eating healthier so to fix that issue
Thanks for reading my super gay blog
PS I was an alcoholic for 15 years in case you guys were wondering

>>10181660
The al/ck/ thread already fucking covers this shit.
You literally do not need to make a sub thread for it.

>>10181660

I wouldn't consider myself an alky, but when I do actually drink, I hit it hard. Usually only once a week, I get absolutely blackout obliterated, and spend the entire next day dry heaving and shaking.

A few days after my last bender this past weekend, I woke up in the middle of the night with tightness in my chest. I went back to sleep, and when I woke up for work, my heart was definitely fluttering pretty severely.

My gf's father is luckily a cardiologist, and ran an EKG on me. It looks like I have some kind of atrial fibrillation, so it looks like my dumb lifestyle is catching up with me. I want to sit and watch the rain and have a cig so bad, but I really think it might make me faint right now, I feel so weak.

I'm hoping I can at least find a point where I can drink/smoke again, even if it is just in moderation.

>>10184262
shh he's just trying to shill his ebook

>>10184288
You are an alcoholic.

Literally lmao-ing at the lives of all these recovery fags. You know you want to drink? So why not have one? I'm drinking now and I'll be perfectly fine at work tomorrow. Know why? Cause I'm not some weak willed faggot like all of you lol

>>10184549
Fucking based. You could fuck my pussy if I had one, dude.

>>10184549
>light beer

I stopped drinking wine this year. I've been drinking wine since around 2011. I'd go through at least a bottle a day. I figured enough was enough cause I kept feeling exhausted as fuck for no real reason every day. On my nights off from work all I'd do is sleep and sleep some more. I used to stay up and feel energetic.

I drink beer now. But the Bud Light Clamato beer. Not anything else. I'll have a can or two a day to feel a nice buzz after work. I can't imagine life without that relaxing buzz from a drink every now and again.

>>10185098
beat me to it
shh, let him feel like a big man.

>>10181660
getting there. got it down to once a week at most; already lost a solid 10 pounds, I can think more clearly, and my memory has improved considerably (my Anki reps have gotten better)

I'm a drunk. Was in and out of AA starting in 2010. Been sober since October 2015.
Finally quit the cannabis recently too.
Now I like herbal teas and sparkling water when I don't drink regular water.

>>10182527
You're a fucking retard, my man.

>>10185287
Great work anon.
I managed to quit for ten days, but drank 4 bottles of wine yesterday.
My flat ‘mate’ saw me quitting and suddenly giftedme an expensive bottle of spirits on day 10. I turned it down but it got alcohol back on my mind.
Back to day one. I have to do this. I drink so hard it is quickly killing me.

>>10181660

I haven't had a drink since new years eve because a spotify ad told me I'm "Kicking ass" and I beat up a random stranger who wanted to bum a cigarette off me and I had no memory of that. Anyway, I feel great but I've started drinking a lot of coke yet I'm losing a lot of weight.

>>10184549
Get back with us when that pussy beer turns into a handle of cheap vodka.

just put the fucking bottle down you babies

>>10184549
>haha i'm 19 and never had WDs

710 days sober. The liquor can suck it. Was about to lose everything, finally realized I couldn't quit on my own, came to terms with the fact that I cannot drink any more, went to rehab, came back to life, wa la.

>>10186425
really congrats dude.

most of the people on here are like
>I'm 2 weeks sober, I dunno how I ever drank!

710 days is truly a mighty deed. Good job. I'm on day 1 after sort of tapering off and I feel like ass.

>>10186430
Thanks. I got really fucking tired of going through withdrawals

do jews really want us to stay addicted to degeneracy?

>>10186454
Rehab was really just a way for me to get out of my current repetitive situation and talk to people (addictions usually have other underlying issues). I had already decided I had to quit, I just needed to get out of the slump initially. It's not some magic cure-all. I mean, it's only a month or whatever, you have to do the rest

>>10184549
A working man should have his beer fit with manliness, not this shitty pussy beer

Has any of you started having erection problems from drinking?

>>10187606
Nope. I can bone for hours if i'm drunk and then when hungover I'm horny as fuck because my brain is trying to recover all that lost dopamine.

>>10187625
Me too, but I recently started to loose erection during fucking. I drink 0.5l of vodka a day. But than again I am stressed & loose focus.

>needing rehab for jerking off too much
lmao, seriously? how often do you spank it?

>>10187676
for an alcoholic, smoking weed is pretty much unambiguously a better idea than drinking. nobody's woken up face down in a ditch with piss-stained jeans from smoking one too many joints.

>>10187787
it's better, but most alc's i know, myself included, can't tolerate it sober.

It's just panic-attack city.

>>10187787
>>10187799
>not getting stoned all day and then shifting into drinking by mid afternoon

>>10187606
If I'm drunk enough to lose my boner, the orgasm wouldn't be worth the effort, anyway. Rock hard random boners for a day or two whenever I manage to stay dry, though.

Yea i stopped. But god damn id like a beer right now. That wouldnt end well though

>>10187787
You say that, but weed can drastically affect your moods in a bad way, similarly to alcohol, both when intoxicated and messing with hormonal production when no intoxication is present. Depression and manic shit is not helped by weed in the long run at all. It exacerbates and may even initiate. I mean, if you function better on weed than booze, sure, I can cede that point, but it will fuck you up in much the same way over time. Professional help and rehab type of stuff should be the most pressing goal for real functionality the fastest.

>>10184288 wds are the worst

>>10181660
I stopped in August when going on birth control made drinking unbearable. I didn't want to stop, except I did want to stop, anyway I had to change my mind and figure out what to do with my evenings instead of drinking.

I bet some people could get the same effect if they went on antabuse, because that also makes drinking intolerable. But perhaps it was just the right push at the right time

>>10181882
I used diet coke for a while, now la croix, rosewater, green tea, etc...

there's some interesting drinks out there that aren't alcohol

>>10184549
>he doesn't even drink steel reserve or heaven hill vodka

Day 4, getting really hot and sweaty at times and sweating more when i'm sleeping. Can't really sleep that well, and my mind is constantly giving me the urge to buy some rum or weed. But i think if i take it one day at a time, there will be a day where it gets easy.

Now focussing on feeling a little better, gonna start running and eating healthier. Already drinking alot of water. Who knows..

>>10181660
>Stop drinking.
For what purpose? I use alcohol medicinally as it should be.

This Naked Mind is just a repackaged "Easy Way to Stop Drinking." I remember flipping to the end notes occasionally, and they read like this for most of the book:

Thank you so much for clearing that up, you fucking idiot.

>>10188402
Thanks man I tried a hundred times before and could barely break a four day sober streak but this time it finally stuck so keep trying brotha

Drinking was destroying my life. I was shitting eight to ten times a day, my throat burned all day every day from acid reflux, I couldn't drink more than two drinks without vomiting, but I would still drink a fifth of Aristocrat a day then go to the bar at night. I stunk all the time, I was bloated and fat, and I never had a spare dollar. My apartment was carpeted in dirty clothes and empty liquor bottles. I didn't have a shower curtain, and I sold my television and all but one pair of shoes for booze money. Then I started vomiting blood. Then I lost every friend I had. You can beat it, bros. You are never going to be the same person again, and people will always be wary around you, casting eyes and treating you like circus fare, but you can beat it.

>>10187787
>lmao, seriously? how often do you spank it?
sometimes i edge for the whole day and feel like committing suicide afterwards. if that is not obsessive addiction then i don't know what is.

I stopped drinking ten days ago, along with coffee and weed, but it's just because I'm participating in lent and only drinking water for 46 days. People that can't stop doing drugs at the drop of a hat are pussies with zero willpower, plain and simple.

>>10191862

You are just weak willed, that is all. Who cares if you get muscle cramps or get a headache? You think I didn't feel that when I stopped drinking? Just pop some Tylenol and wait it out.

>>10192987

>>10194071
Forget pleasure. Pleasure is for women. Life is about values, not pleasures.

Anyone have any tips for dealing with being an autist? The whole reason I drank and abused benzos was to be able to socialize without being a stuttering mess. Been sober for almost 3 years and it hasn't gotten much better. I've really been mourning the loss of that ability to flip the switch and be able to interact with people somewhat normally.

>father and I are both happy drunks
>always jolly and cheerful
>miserable when we’re sober

We only drink 2 days a week on average though

Have any of you been able to moderate your drug use after a period of sobriety?

>>10192987
>too late
by the grace of god, that is not my fate. internal organ functions, neurology exams, blood chemistry, mri, all check out normal. we are all individuals, and one persons misfortune does not affect us all. that's the big misconception.

>>10194147
Time, sir. Time.

>>10194071
>Do you have any tips for finding pleasure in life without escaping to vices?
I find enjoyment in just living life. That's something I've learned getting sober. I don't need to be entertained 24/7. I don't require non stop pleasure. That's not how life works. It's finding pleasure in the simple things in life.

Is it possible to convince an alcoholic to stop drinking ? My mom is a drunk and it's killing me to see her that way. Tried to talk with her about it but she always find a reason to change the subject . The more I think about it the more I realise she will only stop if she wants it her self. Is this true ?

>>10195360
>the more I realise she will only stop if she wants it her self. Is this true?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WiiPrOtAFI

I got blackout drunk at my sister's wedding. They thought I should still give a speech and I embarrassed myself pretty good. GF was pissed she had to drive me home extremely early. It became a running joke every time I had a drink to warn me not to get wedding wasted.

For the next few months I would have a beer when I came home from work, just to relax and help me get to sleep. My siblings began joking around my young niece that it was "Uncle's sleeping juice". It really upset me that everyone thought I was some kind of alcoholic, so I said fuck it, I'm done.

Funny thing is now they make fun of me for not socially drinking at all. But now I'm doing it more for myself to prove I don't need alcohol to deal with every day life. Going on 4 months now and I'm glad its been easy.

>>10194102
Try speaking with a counselor or therapist and give meditation a whirl

I was drunk on 100 proof vodka every night for almost ten years before I stopped, probably closer to 15 years when I think about it. The only time I did not drink at all was when I was sick with a really bad cold or something, for some reason I couldn't touch the stuff when I was sick.

On Jan 2nd of 2010 I started to feel sick to my stomach and started throwing up and shitting my brains out for a day and a half . I didn't have a drop for like three days and after I felt better I went to my bedroom and grabbed that bottle of Smirnoff and stared at it for several minutes. I was thinking I went for three days without a drop of alcohol so let's see if I can go four. After I made it through that night I decided to try for the rest of the week. Then two weeks, then finish out the month.

It's now been eight years without being really black out drunk even once. Just a few beers around the holidays with family and I stop after two.

>>10195617
Good for you, dude. It also sounds like your family can be a dick. Stay strong because a lot of the time when you decide not to drink when they do, they're just being self-concoius.

>>10195309
Anybody still playing video games at 21 might as well be alcoholic. You're already lost.

>>10181660
Old fuck here. Drank heavily most of my adult life, quit 5 years ago. I'm rarely even tempted to drink anymore. Looking back, I can't believe all the time and life I wasted.
It's so nice waking up clear headed.

>>10181860
Because alcoholics are incapable of understanding they are abusing it. Most of them believe they drink as much as everyone else and it's a reasonable amount

Don't have a car, how do I get alcohol without walking 8 miles round trip? Was thinking about asking family, but don't want judgemental stares, and I have no friends. I live in Florida and even though it's legal to ship spirits I haven't found a single online store that does.

>>10181866
jesus guy. this is an anime picture board. what are you doing.

>>10198218
take an uber dude. 8 miles? 15 bucks max round trip and home.

my own copypasta from other thread on a diff board recently ...

last time i drank was Nov 26, 2016. had to knock back a couple Steel tallboys to ease the shakes

i had been drinking more and more heavily for a decade. had to start the day with a 40 or i'd have the skakes bad by 2pm and puking hardcore (blood) when i tried to eat (had to drink a shitload first)

i thought i was gonna die an alcoholic. relapsed once in 2016 (September) but after Nov 26, 2016 that was it.

kicked it after 4 days (first day sucked hard, but it got slightly less shitty afterwards)

it affected my marriage, my job, my family/friend relationships, tore my liver up, etc. any time i think about drinking again, i remember all the pathetic nights passed out, made an ass of myself in front of my friends, embarrassed my wife, etc

anyone that is 100% positive is bullshitting you. you should feel shame for your past, but not let it stop your future.

i lost a shitload of weight, i can sleep normally, i feel good when i wake up in the morning (41 years old), i'm prompt to work and much more effective at my job, i've saved a shitload of money (thousands of dollars a year), i'm back into my hobbies and more active and successful with them than i've ever been ... there is no bad reason to stop drinking.

STOP DRINKING. good luck.

>>10181660
Shit sucks.

4 years and almost a month sober. If you can afford it, detox. If you're a poor soul and willing to suffer just to get thru the DTs get a PI and get shitty low doses of ativan. AA isn't for everyone, but a good sponsor does a long way.

Don't be a drunk, it really isn't fun at all.
