i used to do the same with vodka, weaned myself onto high gravity beer, then started getting weird metabolic side effects from drinking, like fever, nausea, couldn't eat for days, and the very thought of drinking turned my stomach. i stopped drinking and my symptoms cleared up after about two weeks. i never went to a doctor because stopping drinking ended my sickness, but i'm pretty sure i fried my pancreas. been sober eight months now, feel A-alright

tldr keep it up anon it'll sort itself out

Find something else to do, drinking turns into a habit easily as a "what am I doing today/tonight". Ask your doctor for some xanax or if they're hesitant on that gabapentin. It'll kill the acute cravings and help you sleep. Then it's pretty much just willpower.

Carefully measure every drink, and write it down. Ween down over the next 2-3 weeks (so you don't get withdrawals). You're organs will fail in your 40s or earlier if you continue. You probably don't need AA, or rehab, you just need a little willpower and new hobbies to take your mind off it. If you mess up once or twice don't give up. I guarantee you can quit, unless your brain is already complete mush.

used to avg 9 beers a night in my 20s tops now i can easily handle 16 a night in my 30s. been a drunk for 14 years. never thought i'd let it get this bad. want to stop because it's not fun anymore. everything pain-related caused by it is just normal to me now. sides always hurt, can't handle meals. i get IBS symptoms commonly. i also have burning mouth syndrome. can't sleep if i don't drink. body starts craving alcohol long before i do. loads of unhappy issues but i keep doing it because i can somehow still function and i don't really like life at all. burning tongue and never feeling rested after sleep is getting really old however.

keep in mind that this amount of alcohol fucks with your brain, too. Hence, you could quit for like 3 months and see if life gets better. What do you have to lose? Your life? That one you are losing anyways rn. Just be a bit defiant. Defiance is all we have in this life.

coincidentally 3 months is what i originally experienced with my immature mind is how long it took to 'forget' about the addictive affects of booze and cravings it had when i quit the first time
i had enough bad nights that i considered it 'poison' and quit it for a while but i'm the same anon you replied to and relapse is always inevitable for those who like the feeling too much. i agree my brain is suffering. i cant remember words and muscle memory is lessening. im still ok physically and can work.

Alcohol tolerance never resets

[Anonymous No.17117866]

I've been there. The realization hit me after drinking until the sun came up on a workday. I slept for an hour and half, went to work, threw up in the bathroom, finished the day and when I got home (after getting more alcohol on the way), I realized that the bottle of rum I had was almost empty and I had just bought it afternoon before. And that bottle wasn't the only thing I was drinking.

I just tapered down as I like drinking so I had no intentions of being 100% sober. Now I'm a 6-pack of pints from the grocery store 3 days a week guy. Haven't been inside an actual liquor store in probably 3 years. Sometimes I miss just getting obliterated daily but not really. Hard to explain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreas
>The pancreas is an organ of the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdomen behind the stomach and functions as a gland. The pancreas is a mixed or heterocrine gland, i.e. it has both an endocrine and a digestive exocrine function.[2] 99% of the pancreas is exocrine and 1% is endocrine.[3][4][5][6] As an endocrine gland, it functions mostly to regulate blood sugar levels, secreting the hormones insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide. As a part of the digestive system, it functions as an exocrine gland secreting pancreatic juice into the duodenum through the pancreatic duct. This juice contains bicarbonate, which neutralizes acid entering the duodenum from the stomach; and digestive enzymes, which break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in food entering the duodenum from the stomach.

Inflammation of the pancreas is known as pancreatitis, with common causes including chronic alcohol use and gallstones. Because of its role in the regulation of blood sugar, the pancreas is also a key organ in diabetes mellitus. Pancreatic cancer can arise following chronic pancreatitis or due to other reasons, and carries a very poor prognosis, as it is often identified when it has spread to other areas of the body.

tldr it's a key part of your endocrine system and is crucial to regulating blood sugar. when your pancreas goes out, you go into diabetic shock within a few hours
a lot of people ignore pancreatitis symptoms because they are easily mistaken for GI inflamation, which is also common in alcoholics. you pancreas is kinda latched onto the back of your stomach and inflamation feels fluish, or like bad indigestion, but if you let it go, you'll fuckin die

I would actually slow you're roll if you're drinking a handle a day and a half.

Stop drinking for a bit, even a day or two. If you can do it, that's a good sign. If you can't, just seek help.

If you can moderate, then I'd try setting limits, like only one or two drinks before after dinner and none during the day or something. If you can't moderate, as I said, seek help.
