/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>6093521

I hate new years resolutions. If you're going to do something, just do it. If you have to pick a symbolic date for it, it means you really didn't want to do it.

That said, if you want to go clean and now is the time, that's great.

im with you bro lets do it

>>6093531
thank you anon. Yes, I am meaning today.

your supporting post gave me feels ;_;

>>6093521
Fuck that
I'm drinking just because you arn't, someone's got to pick up the slack

>>6093539

>>6093543
ok, that's nice. i would say good for you, but I know from personal experience that not to be true. take care.

I manage a liquor store. Impossible.

>>6093521
I'm with you nigga we're gonna make it

>>6093551
I will friend and i hope you do too

gonna lol when you fags all off the wagon

nice food and cooking related thread, btw.
really contributes to the quality of /ck/.

fucking loser
what a pathetic cunt you are that you need to make a post about your meaningless life decisions. I'm amazed.

>>6093643

I'm quitting booze since I always end up either craving or getting cocaine

>>6093521
>we must do this. start early start NOW.
>no booze in 2015, no booze 4 life.
>I need to clean my life. who's with me??? /ck/. let's do this!
this entire idea is silly "no boozefor life" just drink socially
drink on special occasions and you wont be such a fucking loser

all in all, during the last 7 weeks I drank three pint of beer and one bottle of wine. would have drunken even less if it wasn't for christmas.

I've already lost control of my life and have been asked out for a 4th day session

>>6093521
ill be with you. alcohol free 2 years now

Just have a beer on special occasion. You're not going to follow your rule. Prob crash and burn at a wedding where there's free alcohol.

.

>>6093734
do alcoholics not have self control?

I'm going to try to take it down to not drinking alone. If I'm out with people, sure, why not? But home by myself is sad.

I only drink alcohol at parties, but would be glad to try and stop drinking coke this year with you guys

I've make the "Alcohol free year" promise to myself for the last six years

Sure hope I make it out of this year alive I am starting to have "complications" from drinking.

>>6093521
Get fucked ya cunt!

>>6093744
>do alcoholics not have self control?

That's why they're alcoholics.

>>6093744
Not when it comes to alcohol and boredom paired with insomnia and habits.

Fortunately, I have self control and I also don't enjoy feeling sick so I don't and wont ever have a drinking problem. Good thing too - because alcohol can be delicious and not being able to enjoy good tasting things even in moderation because you have an addictive personality or just no self control would be terrible.

>>6094065
>Fortunately, I have self control and I also don't enjoy feeling sick so I don't and wont ever have a drinking problem.

Doesn't have to be that way. I used to get sick from two glasses of anything, which was a major social impediment, so I made a point of drinking half a glass a day for months, then a glass a day, then two so I could keep up with social activities.

Years of that go by and I'm drinking 3-4 glasses a night. I've only gone a few days without alcohol in the last few years and they were all unusual circumstances. I simply can't imagine life without it.

Pretty sure this counts as alcoholism even though I'm not falling down drunk, living on the streets, or drinking in the morning.

Lol no.

How hard is it to be a responsible drinker and not have it spill into every part of your life that you need to be sober to do?

>>6093521
why do alcoholics get support for their addiction but not pot heads

you can definitely become dependant on weed, it happened to me whwn i was young and nobody helped or supported me

i love both vices in moderation its just a question im curious about

>>6094113

is there an alcohol that I can drink without it hurting my teeth?

>>6094131
What are you fuckin gay or something?

>>6094131
sounds like a personal problem

>>6094113
The difference is one of physical dependency. Anyone can quit weed without going through withdrawl symptoms more severe than ennui. Ever have your dealer / source disappear? Besides being grumpy about not being able to get high, there's no side effects to stopping weed cold turkey. Alcohol has severe, potentially life-threatening withdrawl symptoms.

Basically if you're dependent on weed in any way it's because you're mentally weak to begin with. Sorry, but it's true.

>>6094121
10/10 i laughed

too many people are dying from alcohol related accidents these days. it's a bad drug.

I like alcohol so I'm not quitting. My ny resolution is to be more of a happy shitposter, less of a mean shitposter. At least my goals are realistic

i wish i could quit

good luck m8, srsly

doc gave me pills to help with the racing heart and tremors, i've tried like 3 times this year to quit. what can i say, booze is fun

>>6094079
Listen, I have done amphetamines, heroin (and much much stronger opiates) and benzos and psychedelics like you can not even believe. Two of the people I did opiates with became addicts, the main person I did amphetamines with still does them to this day, and 2 of the people I did psychedelics with wound up in mental wards and one of them disappeared to go become a shaman or some shit. I never had any of it happen to me despite doing all of it with them and on my own to. I just stopped. I think I can handle having a beer or a glass of wine a day and maybe getting not eve drunk enough to have a hangover once or twice a week if I want to.

>>6094187

the only way to stop drinking is to stop drinking.

I don't have an alcohol problem (occasional drinker) so I don't feel the need to not drink for a whole year.

>>6094600

Sorry OP, I'm drinking right now.

>not being able to enjoy alcohol responsibly

shit it aint that hard anons. Just stick to 2-3 drinks at a go and be done. Better yet just have a midweek routine of going to the bar with a few friends for drink and grub.

>>6094760

some people are alcoholics. you're not. congratulations.

going dry for january for six weeks for a bet. its gonna suck, and be very anti social. bit im gonna do it just to prove i can

Gave up alcohol last year. This year I'm giving up red meat. We're all gonna make it.

>>6093521
Alright, I'm ready. It begins Jan 1, 2015. Who /nobooze/ here?

>>6093521
Good luck, Anon. I believe in you.

http://youtu.be/TZpIrlcZmXQ

May the force be with you.

I dont think I could quit unless I took two weeks off work. The sweating, the shaking, the auditoury hallucinations. And its hard to take a two week vacation when you work 3 jobs. Best of luck my bros.

>>6094830
know that feel. luckily its the silly season so i got 55 hours a week and dont need to work anywhere else right now

>>6093643

I've been /nobooze/ for 30 years now. Get on my level, faggots.

>>6094883
fuck off faggot, nor construction

>>6093521
This /soc/ shit really has to go.

I rarely drink, so no, I don't feel a need for a change.

I might want to stop mixing research benzodiazepines with alcohol to cope with the most high-pressure social events, though. Could be doing god knows what to the brain. So fun, though.

>>6094830
Careful with that. Alcohol shouldn't be abruptly stopped if you get those symptoms. Taper the amount you drink day by day down to nothing over a couple of months.

>>6093521
I believe in you anon.

>>6093531
this

but honestly i'm just gonna quit for a few months, lose some weight and then during the later half of the year i'm going to find an excuse to take it up again and gain even more weight than i lost.

it's a yearly cycle of mine.

>>6095205
this is also my cycle, loose weight in summer and put.in back on in wintet

>>6095212

>>6094830
Do it gradually bro. Write out an actual schedule, taking it down a unit a day.

>>6093531
you people are like new years hipsters, literally the worst people to be around

I'm on day three recovery of coming off a three week bender. I was smart this time. I have weed and it's making a world of difference. I can actually sleep, eat, and recover. It's also bad because before what kept me from really going at it was remembering how bad the hangovers were. Like ten days of hell.

>>6094121
I seen him!!

>>6095273
>you people are like new years hipsters
what does that even mean?

I never understood people being physically incapable of doing any g hung with a hangover. When I was living at the trap house this summer we partied every night, ridiculous amounts of alcohol, coke, Molly, acid, opiates, benzos, amphetamines, stating up till 6 or 7 in the morning and going to work at 11. I never called in, never got a complaint, got a raise during that time, never got botched at. If you can't pull yourself together after getting fucked up the night before you're a disgrace. I'll admit there were a few time I felt a little shitty, especially after multi-day binges of liquor and coke/Molly/amphetamines, but you just man up take a couple bumps and some shots and quit being a pussy

>>6094433
Bourdain pls

>>6094813

>>6095329
I don't know why he blamed it on hipsters, but New Year's is what... 3-4 days away?

>it means you really didn't want to do it.
No shit Sherlock. A lot of people don't want to give up something that feeds into the enjoyable parts of their dark behavior, but they know for the greater good of themselves that they should quit. It's an internal struggle, and by setting a symbolic date to quit, you give yourself a short moment to prepare and let's you commit to the better decision.

If this was June and that comment was made, then maybe it would make sense. But not right now.

>>6095351
Like Bourdain isn't a drunk addict at times.

>>6095329

he's referring to the cool hipsters who look at the hip new 'television' appliance, waiting for the cool televised celebrity countdown while smugly sipping cool hipster champagne while smugly having 'friends' (which they only have in order to show off how socially adept they are)

new years hipsters are even worse than the new starbucks hipsters and the even cooler new sushi hipsters, but not quite as bad as people who smugly stand in line at whole foods to be photographed by papparazzi (why won't they leave me alone?!)

24/7 pain killer/ alcoholic/ benzo Junkie here

>the only thing that saved my life was becoming a medical marijuana patcient in california and smoking every dime I had until my horrible addiction subsided

If it wasn't for weed and the good people of California I would be 6 feet under no lie.

I am a recreational smoker now and I finally have my life back!

Has anyone ever considered their addiction stems from a food allergy or intolerance?

I was diagnosed celiac 1 year ago and after quitting wheat I lost ALL craving for sugar and alcohol and I used to crave it non-stop

>>6093521

>>6095376
>pain killer
thats pretty much the worst thing you could do. heroin will fuck you up and all, but you get a big high from it. pain killers are easy, thats it. everything else is shit about them.

>>6094883
I'm /nobooze/ 3 days in... feels good man.

sure, why not. i only drink 1-2 times a month as it is.. and quitting alcohol would give me an excuse to not go out with friends.

>>6095908
How do get to sleep at night?
Serious question, if I don't drink I'll still be awake at 4 in the morning?

Drinking is fine, why do I need to stop ?

>>6095382
Who diagnosed you, Dr. Wikipedia or WebMD?

>>6096008
not him, but breathing excercises

when you lie down to sleep, be aware of your breathing. slow your breathing down to...

>inhale for 3 seconds
>hold for a brief second
>exhale for 3 seconds
>hold for brief second
>repeat

continue this for say like 15 minutes. eventually youll feel "the twitch", which is some motir reflex that your body does to check if your asleep or some shit. thats your go ahead sign that its working and youll be asleep within 5. prior to the twitch you may also find yourself hearing random shit, whatevs.

basically youre tricking your body into thinking its already asleep, so it begins pumping the chemicals that your body pumps when youre asleep

>mild insomnia for like 3 years

>>6093521
I'm gunna go get some Gin now because fuck you.

>>6096027
Thank you, I will try this.
i find I just lie there and worry about trivial shit and that's what keeps me awake.

>>6096044
just focus on your breathing brah, same as meditation and breaking a habit

I went 4 years without a drink once, last year I only had one. Now if I could give up soda, that would be a real challenge.

>>6093521

I haven't been drunk ever. I haven't had a whole glass of anything more potent than a really ripe banana since I was 14. My life is still a rolling dumpster fire.

Don't blame alcohol. Your life isn't shit because of a substance. Your life is shit because life is shit.

>on probation for a year starting the 1st
i'm pretty much gonna be foreced to quit. gonna be hard bros. :(

Greatest place on earth, California. I feel like I won the lottery being born and raised here.

But ive actually committed myself to going to support groups round my suburb. Im also getting a pet, so that will hopefully keep me occupied and heading in the right direction. :-) Goodluck to my friends, /alks/ forever!!

>always have a bottle of armagnac on the shelf
>friends all think i'm an alcoholic

Fuck, i don't even like drinking the stuff. I just pour a tiny bit out, and savour the smell for an entire night.

>>6096517
Nobody cares, asshole.

MEh. I was fucking drunk yesterday,i been drunk all week. im drunk today . Good for you if you want to stop tough. Have my reasons to be drunk almost every day. At this point is either kill myself or find the cap to let the pressure off a bit at least.

>>6096231
why is your life a rolling dumpster fire?

fuck that, i've been at my teetotaler parents house since last wednesday and will probably bring in the new year by going on a solo bender every night this week

cheap for me is less then 20 bucks for a fifth. i don't generally buy handles since i like some variety

I can understand people using the new year as an opportunity to evaluate their lives/themselves but resolutions are gay as fuck. I have literally never heard anyone bring them up outside of January.

Just go out and do your best everyday, niggers. If you slip up and take a drink you don't have to wait til the new year/start of the month or something to restart, just pick yourself up and keep going.

>>6096018
hands trembling at 34 isn't a good sign. Have you ever had to support both hands when pouring something?

I've been alcohol free for almost 3 months now and decided to become a member of AA. It has helped my life and I understand it is not for everyone, but it does save lives. If you find that you have a problem with managing your life because of alcohol then you might want to consider quitting or try some controlled drinking. On a health note, booze is pretty bad for you. Yes we can say that X Y & Z are good for your heart...ect, but overall it's just fun and tasty. No one drinks to improve their health.

>>6100380
its the most awful tasting thing you could ever try, except for 10k or higher priced champagne

>>6100851
I hate that and its embarrassing. I find keeping my blood sugar up helps alot though since I go long periods of time without eating. A small Gatorade usually settles me down. But yea, ive had times when I was quaking so hard I couldnt type out a text message.

What kind of miserably weak individual is incapable of enjoying something without going completely crazy and fucking up? Do prohibitionists drown because having a shower is pleasant? Do they hyperventilate until unconscious on a clear, fresh day?

>why dont you just stop being addicted

moron

>>6100980
Why would you get there in the first place?

>>6100980

It's a valid question. My father smoked 2 packs a day for roughly 30 years. One day he just decided to quit, "cold turkey" as they say. So he did. Willpower, bro.

>>6100988
live another ten years and come ask again.

>>6101006
Is that how long it will take you to come up with an answer?

>>6100999
To admit that willpower is universal would be to tacitly admit that they are just fucking themselves, whether through total abstinence or through total saturation to the point of physical destruction.

>>6101010
no its the time its gonna take you to realize how retarded and pointless your question is.

>>6101026
If it's retarded then it shouldn't be terribly difficult to explain why it's retarded, of course, that's based on the assumption that it is retarded and that it isn't simply an awkward question with unpleasant implications for your worldview.

>>6101038
Not him, but I drink because the world is full of blowhard assholes like you.

>>6101047
To destruction or for pleasure?

>>6101049
To not machinegun the lot of you.

>>6093521
Alcohol increases estrogen (phytoestrogen, especially found in hops) which reduces testosterone.

>>6101051
D'aww, that's so sweet, ;)

>>6101052
If you're truly worried about phytoestrogens (as opposed to justifying your unwillingness to have fun) then there's plenty of much more potent sources in the average diet than a bit of beer.

>>6101010
nice digits my man

>>6101038
if youre asking why people get addicted, you lack life experience and understanding of the human condition.
just be happy youre not and enjoy your life, child.

>>6101063
I don't understand why retards bang their heads into walls repeatedly (perhaps for much the same reason) but it doesn't make it some deep mystery, only revealed to some grizzled loner smoking at a bar.

It makes sense to drink to feel good but drinking to feel normal when the alternative is enduring a moderate amount of discomfort to feel normal naturally and feel good again when you drink is a no brainer to me.

>>6101078
Everyone you meet won't be as enlightened as you but I would guess you already know that.

>>6101083
I find that hard to believe, there will always be an army of fuckers smarter than you in some way. Truly stupid people are rare but the deluded are far easier to come by.

Could it be that organizations like AA who preach that recovery is impossible without total abstinence and faith in an outside power make things worse for people who buy into that nonsense but don't want to quit cold turkey by making them believe that simply reducing to a healthy level is impossible under their own steam?

>>6101096
i think youre triggering the drunk hobos

>>6101125
>triggering the drunk hobos
I can't help being cisient.

>>6101096
AA doesn't go out and preach about sobriety and their program works. It's focus is on the individual, their sobriety, and spirituality. Those programs of recovery are used for people who can not rely on themselves. If people who have the ability to do that on their own, good for them. But people like that are usually not in threads like this one.

>>6101096
Honestly, shut the fuck up, you're annoying.

People drink because they drink. Sometimes it gets out of control for whatever reasons, (they like the feeling, going on a bender, trying to drink through Hangovers, to forget about everyday situations, to sleep better at night, to relax, to drink in a social situation, to have a good time) whatever it may be. An addiction is just that, an addiction. Some people just can't stop.

That's your fucking answer.

>>6093521
I'm with you OP. I have tried to quit 3 times this year, each time on benzos, but as soon as a holiday happens Im back on it.

Who here loses an appetite after they have more than a few drinks. It's very weird but that happens to me. My liver hurts after s day of drinking and I also am finding that I bruise easilier now. I have been a daily drinker for 5 years.

>>6101375
>easilier

you also don't spell so good.
just quit it, save the money, spend it on something more fun, like new clothes.

No need to get grumpy, sweetie. ;p

The actual measurement taught is more than 14 drinks in a week.

You're an alcoholic.

Twice.

>Been drunk at least twice a week for nearly 5 years
>Tired of feeling like shit, went to the doctor for my depression and anxiety
>Haven't had a drink in nearly 40 days

Confronting the problems is the hardest thing I've ever done, I'm on medication and still feeling like garbage, but I'm trying my fucking best.

>>6093521

clean your life OP but don't take me down with you because I am a responsible adult as where you are clearly not.

As the saying goes (often misquoted to Dean Martin/Sinatra) "I feel bad for the people who don't drink because when they wake up in the morning that's as good as their gonna feel."

>>6096008

Over the counter melatonin works well. Get the stuff that dissolves under your tongue. 2.5 mg tabs work for me. Note that they may make your dreams intense, and every once in a while you might wake up kinda groggier than usual. Also you can get tolerance to them, so don't use them every night.

I've also noticed they work less well when you have alcohol in your system.

>>6102456

If you even touch alcohol, you are not. Grow up, kiddo, only children are proud of poisoning themselves.

>>6095908

yeah i'm only 1 week in but still keep it up anon

just came in to say that I really like that you guys who are making an effort are making an effort to improve your lives by taking control of your alcohol consumption, and that you should feel proud of doing so, keep it up guys.

and to those that aren't in control and want to be, don't feel like it's impossible because I know that you're strong enough (even if you've failed before) and that you guys totally have the willpower and drive to make a positive change in your life

call me a faggot (tbh I probably am), w/eva, just keep going guys and remember that no matter what there are people who care about you

Join the fucking real world and spare me your Mormon lectures, you sound like an old lady from the temperance movement with a stick up her ass. Great job passing DARE class.

If you're a troll I'm going to be generous and give you a 6 out of 10 for having me reply to your silly statement.

been drinking daily at least 12 beers for solid 4 weeks entering my 5th. no motivation to stop it. happy new year alk bros

you should switch to hard liquor or you'll get fat

>>6103110
Why not just buy some 40oz? It's cheaper. Don't give me that crap either about it not staying cold - like you give a shit.

I WEEK NO ALCOHOL..... THIS IS OP BTW.

I FEEL STRONG TO GO TO PARTY AND NOT DRINK

HOLD ME /CK/... I SWEAR TO YOU I WILL JUST DRINK WATER OR SUGAR DRINKS

>>6104148
DON'T DO IT! You'll end up just saying "fuck it" and drinking to fit in with everyone.
I don't have a problem with alcohol but when I'm at a party I can't help but not drink because someone is inevitably going to offer you a drink sometime along in the night.

Well thats interesting, my cousin has diabeetus.
Maybe i should get checked. .

Wow anon you don't drink? We were so having a 4 ways if you did

If you're drinking like a nut, you probably don't have a girlfriend. You might be fucking random girls who get drunk with you (I've fucked over two dozen that way), but you're not enjoying those bonding, cozy feelings, which I'm slowly gaining back. And instead of blowing them on booze, along with my money, I'll blow them on a girl. :) I have three dates on the horizon and a steady Betty talking to me on Facebook right now: who needs the bottle when you've got the babydoll?

I pretty much quit drinking and going out when I reuptook opiates.

>>6103546
Go buy more.
>>6103110
good effort dude

So how did you develop into alcoholics?
I usually drink occasionally and finish a bottle of wine or liquor once every two months, I'm not in any danger right?

My last drink was on August 27th at around 6am. At 8am I did an alcohol assessment and was sent directly to the hospital where I spent 3 nights detoxing before checking into a residential rehab center for about a month.

>>6104775
That's not too bad. Right before I quit I was drinking 3 handles of vodka, 3 20 packs of shitty beer, and various 750ml bottles of good (stronger) beer a week.

>3 20 packs of shitty beer, and various 750ml bottles of good (stronger) beer a week.

That's interesting. You were drinking craft beer and then back-filling your alcoholic quota with macro.

>>6104775

I finish a 1.5 liter of liquor every week, sometimes in less time. I have a huge problem. You're fine.

>>6104795

Why did you go to the assessment?

>>6104862
Saves on money and less overall calories. I also felt less guilty drinking shitty beers faster and not caring about the flavor/trying to enjoy them.

>>6104872
I had been drinking regularly (pretty much every day) for the last 14 or so years. Up until recently I had managed to meet my responsibilities and drink but it started becoming a real problem and I pretty much shut myself off from the world (not going to classes/doing assignments, not answering calls/texts, not checking my emails, not hanging out with people). My boss was concerned and rather than continue to dodge the bullet, I told hem what was going on.

>>6104775

I honestly just like the feeling and alteration of atmosphere I receive. I need to stop soon, though. I know this all too well.

and the wheels on the bus go swag swag sWSWAG

YEW WOT M8?!

>>6104795
damn bro. so i'm assuming you went to or are going to AA meetings.
do you believe in all that jesus stuff they try and push on you? or do you just ignore it and do other stuff to stop drinking?
I have to start going to meetings this year and am kinda curious.

>>6104931
Yea, I have to go to 5 a week but I pretty much go to one a day. Nah, I'm not religious. They don't push it too hard on individuals, they just say "this worked for me" or "i suggest.." Several people even say that they weren't into religion at all when they first started going to meetings but eventually they had a "spiritual awakening" which most people suggest is necessary for the 12 steps to work.

I'm only about 4 months in and have a sponsor but haven't technically done step 2 yet. My "higher power" is the group at the meeting I normally go to. I guess doing it by myself never worked but so far so good this time around.

no, you have a 2-dimensional lamen's understanding of addiction. impulse control disorders are often involved but they are only one small facet of the whole disease.

lol doesn't work. well it worked for a few months anyway, but eventually the line between sober and high becomes indistinguishable and weed just makes you a little cloudy. also weed doesn't work for social anxiety/generalized anxiety and if anything makes it worse
