ive been trying to cut down drinking because my wallet cant handle it

Yeah, you still have to work to improve your life you retarded faggot. Did you think sobriety was some magical on switch?

>>15889870
I get that drinking is a symptom of a larger issue, but shouldn't sobriety reinvigorate some kind of change within me? I got sober a year ago and it made everything a lot more exciting. This time, nothing excites me. I'd rather just be drunk.

>>15889882
>when will the magical motivation fairy come save me?!
never, dipshit. you have to pursue interests for them to take you anywhere.

>>15889887
but that's literally what happened a year ago

>>15889897
ya ok, I'm getting bored talking to such a crybaby victim. go get drunk and die earlier, please.

>>15889912
>I'm getting bored talking to such a crybaby victim
no you're not, faggot

>>15889882
are you also in a loveless relationship?

>>15889856
Hey i stopped drinking last week and had to go to the hospital because of dts. Your situation could be worse. Hope im where you are in a few weeks.

>>15890066
>are you also in a loveless relationship?
Aren't most people?

>>15889897
>got pink clouded
being drunk all the time feels the same as being sober all the time, that's the point, the addiction stops doing anything for you besides fucking up your health and maybe getting you into trouble with the law or with your job.

>>15889856
Gin and tonic.

Like what? It just makes life even more boring since even 4chan feels stale and soulless. Especially now when the hysterical normalfags are so terrified that you can't even attempt to fix your life by going to the gym or by socializing thanks to a mutation of the common yearly cold.

I stopped in October last year. Nothing has changed other than losing a tonne of weight, saving a shit load of money and being generally happier and healthier.
Why am I doing this too myself?

>>15890127
What do you spend the money on now?

>>15890094
you have to recalibrate your mind and soul man. life is just going to get more and more miserable unless you start cultivating the art of acceptance and inner awareness. the void is much less terrifying when you make the effort to stare into it rather than trying to obscure it or avert your gaze

>>15890148
Cocaine

>>15890155
I just feel complete indifference towards everything when sober. It feels like I've done all of this a million times already so I'd rather just drink and shitpost while waiting for this round to end.

>>15890169
Seriously, if you have insurance, go to outpatient addiction counseling.

>>15890175
Or go to AA for tons of easy pussy.

>>15890155
I've been facing the void every day, and the results never drastically change regardless of if I'm changing or not. Yeah the trade off is I'm generally healthier and less anxious. But I'm a better person to be around when I'm drinking moderately vs. complete sober.

>>15890175
I have no idea what that means. I'm not a burger.

>>15890190
No, I don't have an addictive personality. I've picked up and quit a lot of way worse things.

>>15890169
>I just feel complete indifference towards everything when sober
I've always felt like that even as a child, it's not the alcohol

>>15890203
Yea . . . But free, easy pussy.

>>15890217
I'm an incel so I don't see how that would change anything. I'd rather just drink and post about my waifu on /a/.

>>15890169
I feel you dude. genuinely I do. but with discipline and time you can turn that lethargic indifference into tranquility and even joy. not the frantic "happiness" of pop positivity or self help scams but a deep abiding sense of your own selfhood and the mystery of Being Alive. reject the impulse to indulge and distract. embrace the silence.when you break through that "crust" it's the most liberating feeling in the world. there is no substance or high as satisfying as self knowledge

>>15890190
>>15890217
How easy Anon? Tell us your stories

>>15890203
If youre saying youre waiting for this round to end, you might have addiction issue. Maybe consider seeing an addiction counselor.

>>15890229
Who is your waifu anon?

>>15890231
He says while posting on 4chan. No offense dude, but I don't think you'll ever get me to believe that you've ever felt that sort of stimulus before.

>>15890231
You're probably right. I was a smoker but one day I suddenly didn't feel like it anymore and I stopped smoking.

>>15890148
I just let it accumulate.

I just made a cocktail with a citrus forward gin, st. Germaine, fresh grapefruit juice and topped it off with ginger beer. Should I serve it in a chilled coup or a highball with ice?

>>15890341
Chilled coup

>>15890260
I have before and I will again. you don't have to be the buddha or some shit. it's just a gentle,persistent turning inward instead of constantly flinging yourself outward. anyone can do it.

>>15890379
>gentle,persistent turning inward instead of constantly flinging yourself outward
I have a tough time conceptualizing the difference

>>15890379
>it's just a gentle,persistent turning inward instead of constantly flinging yourself outward. anyone can do it.
That's how I became a feral NEET, why are you recommending this

>>15890369

Thanks, that’s what I did. I really didn’t want to dilute it too much or add too much ginger beer. Just enough for a warm burning sensation.

>>15889856
Jameson and a full bottle of cheap whiskey.

I drink because I'm bored and drinking makes reading more fun so fuck off

>>15890395
>>15890397
the inward turn does not mean introversion or isolation as such. its more a matter of orientation

the outward oriented, uncentered person encounter a problem and pain and immediately seeks something to solve or salve it, looks externally for something anything to MAKE IT STOP, whether that's alcohol, (you)s or whatever.

the inward oriented, centered person encounters the same thing and knows that nothing will make it stop (or start for that matter), choosing instead to LET IT GO, remaining secure and untouched because nothing and no one can take away the security they have in their own essential being

>>15889865
Just put more money in it and you will have money for booze.

Thought i would buy some gin to mix up the vodka monotony.

God damn this shit tastes bad

I have issues when I drink and try to be intimate with this little kid I know. Cute girl, but alcohol makes it fun to chill and do things until we end up fucking. It has gotten to the point we fuck first and read what to do from the last time we wrote down when I was drunk and she was on a mild mescaline.

>>15890466
??????????????

>>15890514
Erectile dysfunction because of the booze.

>>15890190
This is remarkably accurate. Remarkably.

>>15890462

What gin did you buy? Did the piney juniper flavor turn you off?

>>15890190
But wont they be all old in their 20s at least? Why? I don't have a geriatric fetish.

>>15889856
Sounds like you didn't hit rock bottom. Two options-- work hard to reclaim the magic of life, or go back on the sauce and spiral downwards until you bounce.

>>15889856
Budweiser
The nice lady in the store said it was a good choice but I think they pay her to do that

>>15890190
Where my 13th step bros at?

>>15890231
Just tell the man to be a Buddhist already that's basically the same shit

>>15890090
No, gib pusy

>>15890605
Ive already converted years ago to Liruism in all honesty.

That's because you are still addicted to Alcohol and not being able to have it makes you want it even more.

Go to the C3 Foundation website and learn about The Sinclair Method:

The Sinclair Method (TSM) is a treatment for alcohol addiction that uses a technique called pharmacological extinction—the use of an opiate blocker to turn habit-forming behaviors into habit-erasing behaviors. The effect returns a person’s craving for alcohol to its pre-addiction state.

TSM consists of taking an opiate blocker one hour before your first drink of the day for the rest of your life as long as you continue to drink. The opiate blocker chemically disrupts the body’s behavior/reward cycle causing you to want to drink less instead of more.

The Sinclair Method has a 78% long-term success rate.*

Studies have proven that TSM is equally effective with or without therapy, so patients can choose whether or not to combine TSM with therapy. The physical results will be the same.** Extinction usually occurs within 3-4 months.***

About one quarter of those on TSM become 100% abstinent. Those who continue to drink will have to take their medication prior to drinking for as long as they continue to drink.

I'm not affiliated, but I'm actually cured using this method finally.

how much does it cost? i have decent insurance

>>15890526
Just bombey. No it wasnt bad. I just drank if from the bottle and warm, with only water as a chaser. All gone now though

Just had one of these. Comfy stuff.

>>15890680
It's a generic drug, the cost is minimal.

It's not pushed because it disrupts the billion dollar abstinence rehab business.

Google it my man. Check out Youtube 'The Sinclair Method'. Saved my life.

>>15890724
will do, thanks anon. do you still drink?

>>15890650
>The Sinclair Method has a 78% long-term success rate.*
*according to the book written by the dr that developed the sinclair method

Hmmmmmmmm

>>15890650
There is no treatment modality that is held up which is better than any of the others. We have meta analysis of this situation. Sinclair is just one more way to do it, don't peddle this shit that's what AA does and they're a cult

>>15890727
anon never did in the first place, he's selling something

>>15890699

I wouldn’t serve Bombay to my worst enemy let alone warm. Maybe try Beefeater or Tanqueray next time or invest in some Plymouth or Hendricks. Sipsmith is really good too.
