/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I'm trying my best but I work at a bar though.

i'm not going to drink at home i've decided
bars and friend's house is okay because i don't go out much
fuck i'd be so skinny if i stopped drinking

>>13444365
i will make it a few days then something shitty will happen and will start again

>>13444365
im giving up smoking cigs and weed for at least 2 weeks and then we will see from there.

Kinda sad cause smoking weed and cooking/eating great food is great and when im sober my appetitie usually sucks.

>>13444899
We can do it, mighty try a similar thing, only smoking socially etc.

I didn't drink last night

that's all I'm offering.

>>13444923
yeah I usually don't drink on amatuer night either, this yeah the opportunity presented itself though

>>13444365
are you my boss?

>>13444365
My pledge was to drink more alcohol. Go figure.

I already don't drink so I'm good.

>>13445102
Unironically me too.
I had completely quit most drugs on Sep 3, and it's completely useless. I continued the meme so I could prove myself and friends that I have self discipline, but drank again yesterday. Time to drink again, fellas.

>>13444365
>Pledge to not drink alcohol for the month of January.
Why not pledge to do something like only drink moderately. A better pledge is to drink alcohol to enhance a food pairing, 1-2 glasses max. And, maybe never on a work night.

>>13444365
>Pledge to not drink alcohol for the month of January.
that's easy for me, since I don't drink alcohol.
it's a poison, except for treating methanol and antifreeze poisoning.

Drinking alcohol to me is like huffing glue or paint. It's an intoxicant that has destroyed so many lives and makes people so incredibly sick.

If you're a real alcoholic, going cold turkey can be dangerous and lead to seizures.
Cut down on alcohol before going cold turkey

>>13444365
A bit late for that but after I sober up I'm going to. Went sober for a couple of months before new year and going to go even longer now.
Being sober feels great especially combined with lifting and jogging.

Finished the last beer in my fridge an hour ago. Going to try to do the whole year sober. Could really use more money and less beer gut in my life desu.

So far this year I have masturbated six times and consumed around 20 standard drinks.

>>13445549
cook your own food. bake your own bread, make beans, get a pressure cooker, mixer, etc. that will keep you busy so you won't drink. Baking bread is also something you can occupy yourself with in the evening.
also consider getting bike trainer for a road bike, using a bike trainer + watching youtube (use controller and controller companion) is another thing you can do in the evening instead of getting drunk.

>>13445565
I've been studying moon runes in addition to getting fit. I've come to realize that it's being bored that usually gets me to drink. Also being prone to binge drinking doesn't help. I can never stay in moderation so it's better for me not to drink anything in the first place.

i hate being a functional alcho bros, what do i do, 12 beers a night everyday for 4 years now, i worry im gonna die before 35

>>13444365
Might do the same. Got injured at work and cant lift as heavy as I used to so now I'm just gonna get shredded

>>13445583
Slowly taper off. Don't go cold turkey or you might get a seizure. Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs to detox on. Even heroin or meth can't cause instant death.
What I did was go one beer less every couple of days. It will still suck and you will probably get shaky, depressed and anxious but it's worth it in the long run. Also the loss of appetite sucks dick. Just stay strong.

>>13444365
I pledged for the whole year. Stop damaging yourself for the sake of fun and distraction.

I quit drinking and smoking today.

>>13445525
>I'm smarter than everyone around me who's having fun. Surely this will pay off in the future and then I'll be the mad charismatic person.
Health is a meme
Poisons are a meme
Intelligence is a meme
Stop thinking you're smart and staying sad.

>>13445711
Based. I wonder if there is any sort of fashy support group for sobriety? I'm not going to some gay subreddit or an irl boomerfest like AA.

>>13445920
Go to a sex addiction support group. You can apply all the same principles to your drinking, and the company is more fun.

>>13445525
>Drinking alcohol to me is like huffing glue or paint. It's an intoxicant that has destroyed so many lives and makes people so incredibly sick.
It has also saved many lives and made many people incredibly happy.

Puritans always focus on the negative.

Technically I (and a lot of other people) will have failed this since I was up drinking past midnight but I did say I was gonna quit this year after being on a bender for the latter half of December.

On the other hand, it's fugging New Years Day. Really fighting to not go at least pick up a six pack, what kind of cuck doesn't get drunk on the booze holiday...

>>13444913
>smoking cigs and weed
>when im sober my appetitie usually sucks.
Wait a while for the drugs to get out of your system and your sensory systems to return to as normal as they get and get back to us.

Yeah I’ll stop. Starting tomorrow lmaoooooo 100 :3 :3

>>13446054
How has it saved lives? I feel like that’s not usually what happens.

>>13446092
Not sure about saved but it has certainly created many lives, heh.

>>13446067
If you start drinking now, tomorrow you'll think "ah what the hell, I'll just drink till the weekend when it's easier to detox". Then on the weekend you'll think "ah what the hell, I'll just drink for this month and quit in February". And then the whole year will go by.

Quit now.

>>13444365
I pledged to not drink alcohol for all of 2020. So far so good!

henry rollings does not smoke tha pic the picture is photo shoppd

>>13446140
God boxed wine is fucking nasty. Worse than $1 malt niggerbrew from the gas station. First and only time I downed a box it I woke up feeling like I was seconds away from having a stroke. Almost wonder if they add salt to it or something.

>>13446131
fuckin hell ur right, I've kinda soured on the idea now anyway because people outside are being annoying and I don't want to go out there and be bothered right now. happy (sad) new years anons.

>>13444365
Going to vegas for 6 days.. I am going to try and go cold turkey in 24hour town.. yikes. (wife planned trip)

>>13446177
I know I'm fucking right, I don't need you to tell me that.

>>13446092
>How has it saved lives? I feel like that’s not usually what happens.
I don't really care about your feelings, stop telling people about them.
The easiest reference to alcohol saving people's lives is Winston Churchill. There's no other combination of exercise, OTC drugs, scripts, or anything that gets one person through that amount of stress.
Alcohol has long been used as a stress modifier but becuase some people suffer even more when using it, everyone else who benefits has to suffer
Had Churchill not been drunk enough, Britian would not have had enough airplanes to win the Battle of Britain. Germany would have invaded and occupied the UK, slaughtered many people, and the subsequent campaign to topple Hitler would have been ever more costly in lives.

Winston drank like a fish, certainly far over what's considered 'Alcoholic' today, and he lived until his 80s and remained lucid throughout.

Among many hundreds of thousands of historical examples.

I'm not even going to bother trying to drink less until after the Super Bowl. Totally ridiculous to think I won't want to drink while out with the boys for the playoffs and National Championship game.

>>13444365
>Pledge to not drink alcohol for the month of January.
No.

>>13446305
fuck you nigger i'm going to get some beer now anyway. you're actually... wrong.

>>13446317
>sportsball
You need to quit that mess too.
Pick up vidya at least, instead of sitting around watching other men have the fun and glory.
Is there anything more beta?

>>13446305
>>13446334
That was some other guy. I've noticed people do this on /ck/ alot.
>>13446305
Eat shit and die faggot.

>>13446356
Ah yes, vidya by yourself is so much more functional than enjoying a sport that helps you build common ground with friends, coworkers, and strangers.

>>13446310
>Never trust a man who doesn't drink
How prophetic given the current state of the US, lol!

>>13446370
>Ah yes, vidya by yourself is so much more functional than enjoying a sport that helps you build common ground with friends, coworkers, and strangers.
vidya literally does exactly that. You also have more exposure to them.
Sportsball you're watching racists play a game so that they can go home and beat their wife, whip their son, fight and breed pibbles, and call people honkey cracker.
You're a fucking fool if you watch that shit.

>>13446382
Most adults don't play enough vidya to be a common point of discussion. And it's pretty much a completely solo hobby meant for nothing but sitting inside. Sports encourage teamwork and camaraderie.
Stop being a little girl.

>>13444365
I might or might not cut down.
But I loathe and pity you recovery fags and your current upswing on decreasing religion in the West.
People don't have proper religion and instead of treating themselves for the condition, they simply swap religions.
For Lefties it's multicult and environment
For eveyrone else it's Puritanical standards about smoking and alcohol.
You are both horrible cancerous cults, and this is a Food and Cooking board.
Therefore, we DRINK here, because that's what this is.

Shill your religion somewhere else, 12 Stepper.

>>13446389
>Sports encourage teamwork and camaraderie.
*playing sports
If you were doing the sports, you'd be correct.
What you're really doing is getting a simulation of teamwork and camraderie, it's so bald-faced
And you don't benefit, given that you could be spending your Rec time so much more richly.
Instead you are enricing people who hate you
Bosses and Owners
A bunch of Casinos
A media that hates and lies to you

You need to get off the sportsball. Cooking brings people together.

Stop proxying your manhood through the tights-clad ass of a larger, more powerful man. Jesus I can't even understand how you don't see it and aren't sick with yourself.

On January 8th it will be four years to the day since I quit drinking. Despite all the physical and mental damage my alcoholism did - and it bears mentioning, this includes getting an almost-fatal staph infection from drinking out a broken whiskey bottle, which was surgically excised without anaesthetic due to its location on my upper lip - I didn't quit drinking until I was given a six-pack of leftover beer from a New Years party and I realized that I would never be able to do the same, because the concept of having "leftover beer" was to me a complete impossibility.

tl;dr you really don't need a good reason to quit drinking, and not everybody needs sobriety, but if you are an alcoholic then you can get your life back if you stop drinking. Anyone can do it.

>>13444365
I never drink alcohol
I pledge to start drinking everyday for the month of January

>>13446310
Not sure what you are talking about man. The soldiers, the pilots the workers saved britain, not winston churchill. I do not think drunk pilots of soldiers would have been effective. If they were drunk, germany would have won.

>>13446310
Not sure what you are talking about man. The soldiers, pilots, code breakers, scientists, engineers, workers etc. saved Britain, not Winston Churchill. I do not think drunk pilots or soldiers or anyone else, would have been effective. If they were all drunk, Germany would have won.

>>13446310
Hundreds of thousands of examples! Can I have 5 more please? The first one counts as two because of how scientific and smart it was.

>>13444365
Oh, it´s all so tiresome...
Only thing I like in this world is being drunk, and now I can´t even enjoy this? Alcoholism ruined the buzz, ruined my liver, ruined my fun.
FUCK THIS SHITTY WORLD

>>13446363
Try it, it's funny.

>>13444912
This. Everyone escapes reality. At least we have chosen our poison.

>>13444365
too late

4 more beer in my house and it's over for me
hopefully i stop being fat
maybe i can enjoy weed again

>>13445831
>Health is a meme

>>13447210
I actually really enoy it when I come back to this board after a few hours and see that somebody has pretended to be me and completely changed what I was saying.

>>13444365

It is literally goddamn physically impossible.

>>13444365
I work at a brewery. That ain't happenin', jack.

>>13447304
>At least we have chosen our poison
indeed

cheers mate

>>13444365
If I replace booze with weed does it still count

>>13449131
Look, stop pretending to be me. That's enough.

>>13445531
for real I went through DT's not too long ago and the liqour store was closed for a holiday so I had to wait 36 hours before I could get some and holy shit I LITERALLY have never been more miserable then when I went though those withdrawals. It was fucking crazy when I got some booze in me the taste of beer alone was enough to stop my body from shaking and sweating.

>>13446165
poor fags like me will go for it, depends what's on sale
>boxed wine
>high percentage cheap beer
>cheap vodka
or the classic
>2L coolers

>>13444365
Fuck off methodist.

>>13446389
