How's it going, bros? It's monday night, you know, the night you promised yourself you'd start fresh and keep clean, at least during the week because you have work.

So, what are you drinking? Tell us your alcofeels.

This is what I'm worried about. I'm at the point now where I consider being hospitalised a perfectly legitimate option to make me stop.

Ugh, that.

I was so looking forward to my first night sober of 2014 last week, all prepared, movie ready to watch, nice meal ready to cook.

I got home from work and sat infront of the tv with no beer. Started watching the time and watching the hours go by in which I could be drinking with a safe bet of only a minor hangover. Started sweating profusely and shivering, feeling like I was going to be sick. Went down the hill to the shop and got me some beer. I felt so much better once I started drinking.

What is worse? The shakes and sweat of the evening of not drinking, or the braindeadness of the following morning with a 7am start and a 30 minute dump?

Getting hospitalized won't stop you. After all, eventually you'll get out.

You will stop you. You are the only one who can do it. I'm not saying that to be a dick -- I'm saying it because you are actually powerful enough to do it when/if you want to do it.

I know what you mean. The only problem is, I need the threat of an inevitable consequence to scare me into stopping. The only thing right now is money, and I still have £5000 worth of savings to blow on booze after rent and bills. That savings account, which I've worked since 2010 to save, is now just my safety net that smiles at me and says "you will always be able to afford booze with me :^)"

You haven't reached the self loathing stage yet. A couple of years I was laughing at the world for their hangover complaints, now, while I don't so much get hangovers, I just feel like shit all of the time, except when I'm drinking. When you have dull pains in your kidneys and liver, and you can't sleep for more than 2 hours in a row and sleep in rough 30 minute intervals and wake up at 7am feeling like you should still have 6 hours sleep left, that's when you're at the peak of your alcoholism.

I wake up at 7am, leave by 7:45 and have a 45 minute commute to work.

Not him but I go to work from 8 to 5 every weekday, and I don't start drinking until I get home at night. I put away close to a fifth every single day (more on weekends because I can start in the morning) and rarely if ever miss a day of work. I don't look or feel as good as I used to, but I don't think anybody is looking at me going "man he needs help".

I've been doing this for a little more than 5 years now. Life's not great but it's not completely shitty either, long as I got muh booze.

Possibly, but I've seen full-fledged rummies need 20-30 years to finally pickle themselves. I am pretty cautious with my diet and I run a few times a week, which could buy me a little time, but I'm well aware this shit isn't going to last forever. But the honest truth is, I am such a miserable psychotic mess when I don't have my medicine. Nothing else works. So without the booze I would probably dead even sooner.

Thanks for reading my blog, I'm gonna go make some pasta now.

up at 7 here feeling good and ready to make the day my bitch. I think the only person at work who's onto me is another fellow alcoholic, and thats because we talk about it. other than that I'm a top performer. show up on time and ready, never call in sick or late, do my job well, get along with boss and coworkers, etc.

alcoholics are hard to detect because sometimes we overcompensate in order to remain undetected. sometimes I think I work harder, pay more attention to hygiene, and try to be more affable than a normal person would because I don't want anyone to know.

7-3 daily worker, here.

I drink most nights, every weekend as well. Mainly it's vodka and whatever I have to mix with in the fridge. I start drinking around 5-6 at night and stop around 11-12. I tend to make drinks that are too strong and I pass out and wake up for work. I can go home and not worry about drinking, not get the shakes usually, but tonight I went to the store and got a handle of cheap vodka after I told myself I was gonna have a sober week. Ugh. Vodka and lime seltzer it is.

There's a difference between no one hiring you and you going out, buying alcohol or drugs and consuming it. I have no sympathy for these people.
If you're looking for anything similar to alcoholics, it's fatasses who do the same thing with foods. The only difference between the two is that fatasses are ugly and get made fun of, while alcoholics ruin the lives of the people that love them.

My girlfriend just recently told me that she wants me to drink less/stop drinking. My drinking has never caused any problems, but she's worried about my health. I gained a lot of weight when I first turned 21, but dieting and exercise has gotten me down to a decent weight. I did however keep drinking while I was dieting.

I just get so bored without booze. I'm usually drunk 4-7 days a week, and it's strange to do things without a drink in my hand. I find myself getting up and checking the fridge or the cabinet only to remember that I'm not supposed to be drinking.

I want to prove that I'm not a shit, and I want to stop worrying about my liver, so I'm resolved to not have a drink this week.

If you know that you have a problem, you should seek help or try to stop on your own. You might think that no one out there cares about you, but you're wrong.

I care about you.

Monday mornings are the worst because I wake up around four and start puking. Smoking makes me puke so I have to go all day Monday at work without smoking. A fifth of bourbon Monday through Thursday then it's onto the liters Friday and Saturday. I try not to drink on Sunday but fuck it, roll down to the package store for a fifth.

don't drink before work anon, just some words of advice. no matter how much garlic, onion, and mouthwash you use you can't cover the smell if you drink that much, you just smell like a drunk with garlic mint breath. even if you can function, don't fuck with that.

last year I went on a bender and would pass out drunk, wake up two hours early and have a shot or two before work, was also mouthwashing and eating onion and garlic. I functioned as good as ever at work but one day one of my managers called me after work. he said he wasn't going to say anything to anybody but that I had been coming into work smelling like I had been drinking, he wanted to tell me before somebody else noticed it and made an issue of it.

I thanked him profusely and have not had a drop of alcohol the morning before work since then. I thought since I was doing such a good job that nobody would know, but you'll get caught anon. just drink some water & coffee and go, being sober is fun too.

You are straining too hard or have otherwise aggravated your sphincter and the delicate skin around it. (poorly-done anal sex, overly-enthusiastic wiping, wiping with a pinecone, possibly a heat-rash.. probably straining too hard)

So, mild hemorrhoids or a minor anal fissure.
For both the short term treatment is to make sure everything is clean back there, and keep it clean. For the mid-to-long term you want to improve your fiber intake and general hydration (for turds that pass smoothly and stress-free) and try not to strain and push so much.

alcohol barely comes out of your pores, the drunk smell comes from the breath you exhale. the drunker you are the drunker you stink up the room with your breathing.

Well, I have been having a week long vodka fest, except for Saturday night, when I made Hurricanes, but I'm a happy camper now, because I got a benzo scrip today, so I can finally fucking quit. All the joy of drinking has been lost, for me, and I really want to quit.

I find it much easier not to drink when I'm not home. Spent a couple of days at my brother's house and felt just fine, no desire at all to hit the sauce. But I get out of work and come home? It doesn't matter what I do, it feels just completely unnatural not to have a beer. Or a glass of wine. Or a nice tall bourbon.

>>5643255
Hell, I feel like shit even when I'm drinking. I mean, I prefer it to not being buzzed, but I can't even remember the last time I had a solid shit. Or a shit that wasn't a clench-and-race emergency.

>>5643285
Lately I've been drinking a 12 pack of cheap beer plus a double deuce or two of IPA or something stronger. I have to be very careful with hard liquor because it's more difficult to pace myself and I don't want to lose my job because I blacked out and did a no call, no show. When I have time off, I drink less beer but supplement it with whiskey.

>>5643272
There is nothing better than that feeling you get after your second drink. Even as a longtime heavy drinker, I live for that feeling of calm and serenity.

Not drinking for a week is easy. Most drunks/alcoholics who don't get severe withdrawal symptoms can do that easily. You'll prove nothing.

I dunno about that. Lately every time I sweat (which is usually, particularly during summer) I smell like stale beer stank. It's getting pretty embarrassing.

If it's in the wipe but not the bowl, there's some kind of tear or hemorrhoid issue going on down there. The kind of stool you really want to watch out for is black stool, stool that looks like coffee grounds, or white stool. These indicate that you're having some kind of organ inflammation/failure.

Does binging count, I can polish off half a handle a night, but I can go a week or two without drinking again. When I drink though, most of my friends are finished after a shot and 3 beers while I'm finishing the vodka than starting the beers. /alc/ genetics runs in my fam.

What do people think are the worst things about being an alcoholic?

I drink on average a fifth of whiskey a day. I can't remember a night I wasn't drunk in the past 5 years. But I still hold down a job to pay for my bad habit.

For me the worst parts are:
>very poor memory
>drunk driving too much
>getting a little stupider

You've pretty much hit the worst parts. I don't mind looking and feeling like shit, but the brain damage is killing me. My memory is complete shit, and I find myself sounding dumber and dumber every time I talk to someone. I didn't used to be like this.

I think that's even worse than those nights when you're driving (and shouldn't be) and something happens that make you tell yourself: "Never again. I am never getting behind the wheel drunk again." But you do it anyway.

This might just be because I haven't had any DUIs yet. And I haven't done something like wreck a friend's car or kill something (other than wildlife). The only times I've been in the drunk tank, I was on foot or on bicycle.

I drink every night, but try not to drink so much that I feel drunk, just till the point that I feel like I'm not craving alcohol anymore. I know its not any better... The worst part for me is that I definitely don't feel as sharp as I used to be. Rather than make opportunities for me to notice how stupid I'm getting, I just avoid social situations. Or maybe I just withdraw because I don't care about anyone/anything anymore. Either way, I know its because of the booze. Anyway, I'm moving to California soon (from NY). Having liquor in every store won't help, but maybe getting a med card will. We'll see.

This. Eventually they (my former employer) caught on that whenever I wasn't in a miserable mood and was acting normal it was because I was drunk. When I was sober I was usually hungover and generally useless or disinterested. But a pint of whiskey in a huge cup of coffee on the way? I'm going to dominate that fucking day.

Please do go to a doctor, if not just to check out your organs and make sure they're in working order. Maybe eat some walnuts and broccoli for them antioxidant benefits (can help the liver). And take a multivitamin.

Guys, if you're getting the shakes, try to cut back for a week. You never know when you won't be able to access alcohol for whatever reason, and it seriously may kill you.

I like drinking all the time too, but keeping myself in good condition will enable me to drink like crazy for years to come.

Well I'd do that if I had the money to. But whenever someone's lecturing me on my drinking it's usually someone who drinks every day and is drunk at the time they're lecturing me. It makes me feel deficient for not being able to act like how they do or something when we're both 10-15 beers in and they're doing the whole slurred word and repeating themselves thing while I'm still pretty cognitive. Like I should be apologizing for making them look bad by being a better drunk than they are.

Then of course I black out and piss on their couch or something ridiculous anyways.

I'm at that point where I feel like I'm either 100% sober or completely black out drunk. Like right now I have probably the equivalent of 12 beers in me.

I actually live in a super small town in Canada (where booze stores close at 10). The only place we have where I live that I could make it to by then was a corner store. I wanted to try something new, I'd always avoided CM's because I wasn't a rum fan to begin with.

I've been drinking literally nothing but cheap vodka for about 4 years to get myself wasted and I'm trying to ween off, so you know...in the end maybe this wasn't such a terrible idea. Maybe I can just keep drinking this horrible shit until I ween myself off, I don't know.

Also in Canada a 375ml of that shit is like $16.50. The 375 of the shit brand of vodka I normally buy is like $14.90. I was experimenting, alright.

If you really drink that much then crush them and turn them in at a scrap collector.
You would probably get a slab of beer a month from that.

I dated a chick who loved to hit the bottle. I just saw it as her having fun and nothing more. Every time we were together we would be drinking. I wasn't much of a drinker. I went from Jan 2009 to - Sept 2010 without having a drink. Just worked the entire time. Anyways it would always be like I'd have to suggest something to do where I could drink with this girl. Whenever I suggested something where alcohol wasn't allowed she wasn't up for it.

I realized she was an alcoholic when she told me she doesn't care if it's beer, wine, or liquor she just wants to get drunk and the cheaper the better. And how she had empty liquor bottles in her room and how she must have her soup in the morning for her hang over cure or else she rages followed by a few shots to help.

We dated for a year and I gained weight and realized I was sneaking off to see this girl to get drunk every week. My family noticed right away and told me to stay away from this girl that she's a bad influence. She also smoked between a third and a half pack of marlboro lights a day. She was aging incredibly fast. Her hair was falling out, her skin on her nose was drying up, her hands look liked she was 45+. She was pretty however, and really charming. Until we broke up a month ago. Since then I've only drank once where I got black out drunk and I've been fighting off this terrible feeling. I guess this is what coke-addicts feel for coke. I want to drink really bad. I haven't since the black out drunk period two weeks ago. I've been drinking water nonstop and I've been hit with some really heavy depression.

IKTF bro. I used to date a girl who only had "fun" when drunk and I wanted to spend time with her so I began to drink like her. I didn't realize how much I was drinking until my neighbors commented on all the empties in my recycling bin one morning.It sucks that you weren't drinking for yourself, some girl influenced you. I hope you learned something about yourself and to not make that mistake in the future.

I learned a life lesson- Listen to family when they tell you somethings up. Especially when all your friends chime in on it too.

I really liked that girl, but she was bringing me down. I wanted in to her life and it came with a cost; tacking on a vice, what's worse is all the times we would fight at her place while drunk and I would angrily just drive home while piss drunk (worse that I would drive on the interstate a bit.)

You misunderstand my point. There is no such thing as a cure for alcoholism or addiction. Judging by your post, you don't understand the nature of these afflictions. They may ABATE the symptoms of addiction for some time, maybe even for a lifetime for some, but nothing will ever remove the symptoms of addiction from someone. Psychedelics HELP the problem, but they don't SOLVE it. Simply taking psychedelic drugs won't stop someone's alcoholism or drug addiction dead in its tracks, its naive to think that any substance has such a power. A glib summary such as "try ayahuasca or ibogaine" is about as helpful as "try smoking weed, or try quitting", it's advice from someone who doesn't have the problem, and isn't trying to understand it. You might as well have suggested skydiving. Without a proper support network, willpower, and lifestyle changes, and the desire to change, all someone will get is a gnarly trip.

concluding with "fucking drunks" also doesn't help your point. If you're going to come to what's basically an /AA/ thread and be a judgemental dick, fuck off, you're not helping anyone. Stop acting like your drugs of choice are better than anyone else's.

Went away on a business trip to make money and couldn't drink at all. I went through withdrawals and ended up in the hospital, they gave me a bit of drugs and sent me back, two days later my hotel roommate heard a bump in my room and came in. They realized that I was having a seizure. I have NEVER had a seizure before and having them drive me to the hospital at 7 am was not fun.
>drank a Mickey of rum everyday for the last 4 years
>tried to taper it off with beer.
It doesn't fucking work.

Now I'm on vacation in the Dominican Republic for 12 days, obviously I'm drinking again. I have to keep drinking now to stop myself from getting sick

Alcoholism is not fun.

No there is such a thing as alcoholism. There is huge difference between physical and mental addictions and yes will power is involved in both. However in the case of alcohol, your body will literally die without it if you become physically addicted and no amount of will power will save you from that...

My father was an alcoholic. He was a very intelligent man but after my mother left him he was destroyed emotionally and started drinking.

He was normal all the time but after a few years he suddendly started to talk weird stuff that didnt make sense.

I saw him loosing his thoughts, then I saw him loosing his capability to speak and at the end I sat next to him in the hospital where he was in a coma. I stayed as long as I could but I couldnt watch him die.

I couldnt stand next to him, holding his hand, watching the final moment of his life ending, I had to leave him alone.

No one wanted to be there in that moment. He caused so much pain to everyone around him. He died alone.

I'm not saying you should do this, but its perfectly possible to drink like an alcoholic, eat well and lose weight/maintain a healthy weight.

1) forget beer, cider, alchopops or anything with sugar, drink vodka and that fizzy flavored water water made with fake sugar, if you get the berry one it tastes like berry cider anyway!

2) eat low carb fresh food, wings and steak if you must.

Not so much an alcoholic, but i guess a working alcoholic a bit. I drink several beers, sometimes 2 or 3, sometimes 5-10+, every night, with my wife. We both work full time, wake up at 5:30, work 8-10 hour days. We both work carpentry jobs. We like to drink a bunch of beers after work. We have three dogs (50, 60, and 70 lbs) we walk twice a day. We build shit for people on the weekends. We don't drink in the morning, but always during the day on weekends.

I saw a doctor during a checkup, as part of a new medical insurance, and she asked me to limit drinking to two beers on friday. I chuckled, and told her I work too hard. Am an I alcoholic?

Bright red on the paper is just good old 'roids or an anal fissure. As other anons have already said, just take it easy with your wiping, try to add some roughage/fiber to your diet, don't strain like a girl trying to learn how to shoot a ping pong ball from her vag, etc.

Absolute worst case scenario, if it doesn't improve is you might require minor surgery to correct it. But unless you're like 60 or above or are generally in REAL bad physical shape, it should go away on its own.

And this IS the sort of thing you can bring up to your regular doctor. You'll have to drop your pants to let him check it out, but trust me, he's already doing it several times a day anyway.

Man, I had no idea. I've never been much of a drinker; my vice is mainly some occasional benzos.

Well, it's 4 to 6 a month now. Yes, I know, this is still basically trolling in this thread. But with some shit going down in my life sometimes I feel like getting wasted to forget. I'm not a heavy drinker (obviously), but when there's a right occasion or circumstances then I may get awfully wasted. This happens like once a year or two. The hangover and guilt are awful, but also in retrospect the blissful sensation of floating feels like something I wish I were experiencing right now. I don't want to go down the line where this will become my main mode of existence.

You definitely don't have a problem yet, and honestly I think me and many others in this thread will advise you to stop now while you're still ahead. This shit is not fun, man, and it's is a massive drain on your wallet. I would stop in a fucking heartbeat if I were able to, but once you hit that point where you can barely go 5 minutes of your day not thinking about alcohol it's hard as fuck to turn back.

I have a similar tale to tell.
My grandfather was a very smart man, a chemist. He married my grandmother when she was 18, a tad after the war.
They had a daughter (my mother) and he kept his drinking a secret.
Then one day after coming home from the pub he beat the daylights out of grandma while mum was watching, and kept doing so for years.

He killed himself when she was seven, and mam has never tasted a drop of alcohol in her life. Even her coffee is mostly milk.

My dad almost died from it too, that and smoking; heart failure caused him to quit.

Don't be like them, lads. I quit cold turkey after I stepped into my twenties, what made it difficult was all the free time I had left over that I couldn't use for anything productive.

I don't see how people have no self-control over their eating habits when drinking. To me, food really doesn't taste better at all while drunk, and it seems like I can only eat like half as much as I normally can before I get nauseous, both of which cause me to eat less overall, since I can't enjoy the food.

Ive been drinking hardcore alone over the last 4 years. I was almost kicked out of my financial analyst job, but I left before to go back to school. I drank all my savings and failed most of my masters courses. When out of money I found a new FA job, worked there a year, went to work smashed for 1 year. I finally quit the job to go 'finish my master'. Its been six month, I drank all my savings again, not to mention tens of DUI closed calls, going to the strippers alone.
On my mother side every men has been killed by alcohol. My grandpa is shitting himself after an anus cancer due to drinking and poor life habits and has alcohol induced dementia. he was a respectful accountant.
I reduced my drinking now. I get smashed one night a week, that's what I can afford. I went 6 days without drinking recently. It was awful, the sweats the shakes, no concentration staying in bed all day.
I should've listened to my mom when she was saying that alcoholism was running in the family.

This thread makes me happy that I long ago gave up hard liquor. Tons of people talking about the boredom factor, but once you make it a week or so, the veil really does get lifted and you see that alcohol really didn't make anything more enjoyable, that's just your "normalized" perspective on anything.

Best of luck guys, we're our own worst enemies and we know it.

it's the association that makes it hard. If I'm alone in my apartment (which I am every night) then to keep myself entertained I will either be playing vidya in my room on the pc, or in my living room watching my massive tv. Both things I have now associated with drinking. I can't seem to do either without craving a drink.

Ah, in my experience living alone is never conducive to people who want to cut down they're drinking. I found that living with someone else starts making you more accountable, first by kind of "shaming" you with your drinking (e.g. the recycling is always full of bottles) and it also helps living with someone so you can do things together (cooking is a great example of this) which helps to provide a distraction. I wouldn't say my roommate completely turned things around for me, but having just another person around made me less likely to binge and eventually made it where we'd be doing something and the desire to drink just to get wasted disappeared.

Alone I would always just get shitfaced regardless of the situation, but if I go out with friends I'm almost always the most sober person, because for whatever reason, having other people around makes me more accountable, that and my tolerance trumps theirs so badly that getting drunk at a bar is basically impossible without spending $50.

That's never happened to me, but I was on a week bender while my sister (who I lived with at the time) was on vacation. I thought she was coming back Monday night, not Sunday night. Sunday morning I proceeded to get obliterated and the house was a giant mess (dishes everywhere, clothes everywhere, 6 or 7 handles of cheap vodka lying around the house etc) I had planned on cleaning Monday morning, before she came it.

You don't have to have a reason to start, it can just happen.

I had my first drink at like 14, used to go out and drink in the woods with my friends after one of their old siblings bought us beer at the weekends. Only happened once every couple of weeks. Then when I turned 18 I thought it was great that I could buy beer myself because I really enjoyed it, so I'd always binge at least one friday or saturday a week.

This turned into being every friday and every saturday.

At about 21 I started doing it on sundays too and just putting up with the hangover at work on monday. After a while, the hangovers went away. At this point I was at the happiest part of my life, mind you, great gf and everything was amazing, I just enjoyed drinking, it was fun and felt good. When the hangovers started happening, I thought I was invincible and started drinking more often, it built up until it just became every night. 24 now and I don't know how to survive an evening without getting drunk. I'm not happy anymore though. I lost her a year ago, and because i've been drunk every night since, I haven't allowed my mind to heal. I feel like shit 24/7, I can actually physically feel how unhealthy I am, pooping is a frequent and uncomfortably experience, though its more like anus vomit than poop now.

It just sort of happened to me. I started because I enjoyed it, a lot, so I did it more and more, and now I depend on it.

oldfag here.

i've drunk a bottle of red wine a week for 15 years now. i never felt the urge to drink more than that. i've seen friends succumb to alcohol, something i never understood. brilliant minds who should've known better, people that used to have discipline and self control in their lives.

to me, there can only be one explanation: all of them were exposed to alcohol at an insanely young age, or actually more likely, prenatally. how else can they more or less instantly become hooked (without realizing it) whilst others can drink 1 glass of wine or 1 bottle of beer a day for decades without ever feeling the urge for more?

i'd go as far and say that all women of child bearing age must be on birth control should they want to drink alcohol.

I don't know what it was, maybe I just wasn't sober the entire time but man, that was brilliant. No hangover, not even a day or two later. I hit the sweet spot of food, water, alcohol and mood that weekend I think

I recently had some pretty serious brain surgery, so I shouldn't drink at all. Lost a lot of weight from a month in the hospital and my tolerance is shit, but I can't help getting drunk at least a few days a week.

I spent all day yesterday hungover, I woke up with a bad cut on my knee and a hole on my pants. Apparently I must've fallen in some nettles trying to get home the night before, since my hand burnt like hell all day.

A few days before that I woke up in my friend's bed (fully dressed so no homo), neither time can I remember the last hours of the night. I think this might be because of the brain surgery, and I should probably see a doctor about it.

My biggest worry is if I've behaved like an idiot during the times I don't remember.

>trying to reconstruct your nights by the wounds you got

yup, had that before. Buddy of mine tripped over a sewer lid and was pissed at it and started lifting it up.
Naturally, I wouldn't let a good friend do that alone. He didn't tell me he wanted to drop it.
Goodbye thumbnail. It grew back though.

>trying to reconstruct your nights by the wounds you got
Trying to reconstruct your night, and explain how the fuck you managed to get such a weird wound.
Even if the party went "let's get drunk" and ended at midnight, and I went straight home. How do I explain this credit card receipt at 5am? Did I take 2h for a 30 mins metro ride, then spent 3h walking a 5mins walk? From what I remember, it would make sense.
And I get the strangest wounds. I'm not a /x/ fag, more of a /sci/fag really, but I now concluded that some of them are due to some kind of black magic spell. It's the most logical explanation.
