>>8612502
It doesn't harm your prospects as much as you would think. Virtually no first time offender is ever convicted of a DUI/DWI. You settle in court for something called a Continuance Without Finding (your state may have a different name for it) which is a low-key agreement to complete some alcohol education course, complete a year of probation, and stay out of trouble. After the probationary period, the charge is essentially dismissed. There will be no conviction on your criminal record. Really the only thing you need to worry about is if you have a local paper that reports on arrests as they'll publish your name and shit online which will show up on search results.

Also, the arrest will show up on your driving record which is completely separate from a criminal record. You can't do anything about the driving record. It will be there and your insurance rates will go up and any employer that pulls your driving record will be able to see it. Obviously this only happens for driving related jobs (delivery, Uber/Lyft, etc...)

You're looking at $6k~ out the pocket for a lawyer, court fees, probation costs, license costs, etc...

How do I stay skinny as an alcohol? I was a chubby, ugly teen and am currently decently attractive and too vain to let that slide too. The calories are just fucking insane, which is why I rarely drink beer, but pounding one to two bottles of wine a day isn't doing wonders either.

Problem is I still function and want to keep on doing that, yet I love food and don't intent to reach the "I feed solely on ethanol" final stage. How do you do it, fellas?

If you were needing a drink and some girl gave you a bottle of wine, telling you that the two of you would drink it together in 20 years, but had recently told you that you were no longer welcome in her life, would you just drink the wine?

Should I feel guilty? I've held this thing for 12 years and it feels bad to drink it 8 years early but she's kicked me out of her life. It seems unlikely she even remembers she gave it to me, let alone made a promise we would drink it together when we were 40.

Real estate management.

Not the worst. Last time I was trying to pull through I had a seizure in public and it dismayed me so much I kept drinking to stave it off.

This time it was just dry-heaving, really itchy dry skin and mouth from dehydration. I didn't sleep for 48 hours after I stopped and when I did I had nightmares and woke up covered in sweat and shaking. Some moderate tremors as well as not being able to even take a drink without my stomach trying to burp every single second.

Now it's good though, I'm eating normally. The best thing that helped was simply forcing myself to consume as much water as possible, to force myself to eat food, and do little things to make me happy. I kept a 48oz Nalgene next to me while I used one of my girlfriend's bathbombs and just chilled with Netflix for over an hour. Even that dumb chick shit made me feel better.

Man people said alcohol and xanax withdrawals were the worst and they were right.

I drank two beers last night.
Said to my wife, "You don't mind if I drink, right? I know you get annoyed when I'm drunk sometimes."

"Not at all," she said. So I drank two beers.
Then we went to bed and I got up and drank two more beers. My speech began to slur and become unfocused. I'm not a lightweight, just an alcoholic, so it doesn't take much for me to get drunk anymore.
My wife said "You really are drunk all the time."
And I went to bed feeling like an asshole. Woke up and she accused me of pissing the bed, but it was dry for once, so that's good.

Anyway, I want to drink again tonight and I don't think anyone will be able to convince me that's a bad idea :)

I'm more of a bookfag than a kinoguy but if anyone here wants to relate to some literature I highly suggest "The Lost Weekend", "Under the Volcano" and Venedikt Yerofeyev's book which has many different translations as title. In mine it was translated to "Moscow on Formaldehyde". All great reads. Stay literate until you perish, anons, and keep the romanticized view of alcoholism alive.

Sorry to be so ambiguous, I don't really like to think about this shit. I'm basically fine, just gotta distance myself from insane people.

I've tried drinking four times now and I still don't feel like I've been properly drunk. The first and last times I was dizzy, and those same times things seemed slightly funnier (more so the first time), and the last time the dizziness would come back every time I tried to walk; also I didn't have a hangover at any point. I'm not sure where to go from here; I was thinking either it's not for me or increase it a bit more and then see. The first time I had a bunch of mixed drinks, the second time I had a little 50 ml bottle, the third time I had two 50 ml bottles, and the fourth time I had three little bottles. I was thinking maybe bump it up to a fifth and if that doesn't do then that's it. At least I've discovered to some degree what's more palatable to me and what's less palatable.

ive been doing pretty good keeping drinking under control. i only binge once a week on average these days. a year and a half ago or so i was pretty bad and ended up in the hospital a few times before i decided to seriously cut back. more out of fear than anything else

for the last 5 days ive been off work to work on my bands album and every day ive had multiple drinks. never to the point that i actually got drunk or had a hangover but still enough that i feel guilty about it

kinda scares me because i thought i was doing alot better but without work to keep me honest and in check i could easily just say fuck it and go back to the way it was before, which was really miserable

I just got accepted into a top 10 PhD program in my field. It was really nerve-wracking because I got in trouble for public intoxication two years ago and had to disclose that. They offered us drinks during the interview weekend but I refused even though I was super anxious and really wanted one. On the last day, one of the current students got really wasted at lunch which I think distracted from my awkwardness. I'm glad it wasn't me who got wasted. I ended up drinking at the airport bar, though. I'm only drinking like once a month or so compared to when I was drinking every day two years ago. Feels weird.

Basically a month of detox where I took a lot of Kratom to ease the urges. Kratom is a miracle drug and I love it almost as much as booze. I used to black out every night but after a couple of fights and ruined relationships I basically stopped to completely focus on my work and university. I had only been like that for almost two years so physical addiction wasn't too bad. No seizures just shakes and the intense feeling of withdrawal. I actually felt bad enough where I didn't actually want to drink but didn't feel bad enough to feel like I was dying.

But after a trip out of town where I got real drunk and had a nice conversation with some locals, I've been occasionally sinking some beers and trying to recapture that magic.

Usually don't end up talking to anyone much, sometimes not at all. But it's nice to drink with some atmosphere. And sometimes it's pushed me to text a bunch of people I normally wouldn't in the hopes of finding something to do or somewhere to go, and that's led to a few nice nights.

Some AA groups are all about Jesus, others replace God by "superior being" and people pick whatever they want, usually the AA group itself and their support, because they're not into God like many people.
There are other groups and organisations, I only know of vie libre (free life) in France, who are basically the AA without the 12 steps and any deity altogether.

As a matter of fact, it was specifically established by Bill W. not to be religious. He even stated, choose a door knob as your higher power. It was really the most beautiful thing about it. Clearly it's principles are based on the Christian ethic, but Bill W. wanted no one excluded. Most atheists choose the AA group as the higher power, which makes a lot of sense.

It's awfully easy to look for excuses as to why you shouldn't try to quit, but saying AA demands adherence to theism won't hold water.

Having said that, there are groups, particularly in the evangelical south that use it as a platform to convert vulnerable people. In that case, you have to find another group.

Then don't choose a doorknob, choose your family, choose your community, choose the people who you can still help in trying to go sober as well. "A power larger than ourselves" is actually quite easy to find, one human mind is not very big.

I think the problem is, the doorknob is usually quite small.

No, but his point was, you don't have to proclaim allegiance to "God." You have to give him credit for that, really, since he was devoutly Christian. I live in the evangelical south and finding a group that isn't in your face, "Jesus is the only possible higher power, hallelujah!" is almost impossible. That's why I respect him so much. I was in several groups where they said I couldn't leave step 1 until I fell on my knees and confessed to Jyyeeessuss. That's how much further Bill W. was advanced than the rest.

The plan for tonight is to get very, very drunk.

I've been unemployed for about three months, laid off temporarily due to the weather, and my employer has let me know that I'm guaranteed a position with the company now that the new season is starting. I just have to go in and meet with them, iron out the details and the job is mine.
It's absolutely retarded, but the anxiety about returning to a job I had previously held for over two years is killing me. I need the money, yeah, but I've been surviving on unemployment well enough so far and have found time to work on/do other things I actually like doing. The fact that this unexpected vacation is about to end has me feeling very unsure of myself.

So, I'll drink until I stop thinking and worrying about it. Then, if I'm lucky, I'll still be a little buzzed in the morning when I go into the office and accept my old position at the lab.
