It can take up to 6 months before your body chemistry gets back to normal. Now I'm no alcoholic (I think) I would just drink a absolute fuckload which would kill other people at the weekends since there is nothing much else to do around here, but I have slowed down getting to my late 20's and am now going to give it up (mostly). I find it makes you very depressed and generally feeling like shit for a long long time after the hangover wears off.
Really its a thing you only want to take in moderation or on rare occasions due to the harm it does.
Trust me, you can feel just as good or even better with out it, so good luck.

since I started reading these threads ive become really worried about myself. Been drinking a lot of beer since I turned 21, 24 now. Usually drink like 4-5 nights a week, a couple beers a night mostly, I never get black out drunk or even hungover, of course ive had my fair share of hangovers in the past. I definitely abuse alcohol, which would make me an alcoholic, but I don't think id consider myself to be a really alcoholic.

So, does anyone else not really get hangovers? When I drink, the amount of vodka I intake is around 20 ounces when I'm done (I mix it with hawaiian punch since I'm a pussy). I never even feel off the next day. The only time I've felt a little weird was this new years eve. I drank about 30 ounces of vodka, and had three shots of tequila with some mexican dude.

It's because you only just started drinking. The further down this road you go, the worse the hangovers get. I had such a skull-crushing hangover a few weeks ago... It's not even "oh, my head hurts," it's these horrible, dystopian, paranoid thoughts that come with it.. It's the feeling in your legs where you can't really walk straight, even when you haven't had a drink in 24 hours.. It's the smell of alcohol coming out of your gut for the entire day after your drinking. That is a hangover. It's horrible.

Sigh, thank God I decided to cut way back and lay out ground rules. I was definitely starting down the path to addiction, and well, it runs in the family.

Weed can be broken down into two categories: Indica and Sativa. Though, a majority of strains are a hybrid of the two that lean towards being either Indica heavy or Sativa heavy.

The Indica heavy strains make you feel relaxed, relieve chronic pain, and give you the munchies.

The Sativa heavy strains make you feel excited and help with depression. However, they can also make you feel anxious and paranoid.

My first experience with a Sativa was terrible. Was anxious as shit and started panicking because I had never been high before. Tried smoking it again a couple of weeks later (but a much smaller amount), and was able to find my sweet spot.

Helped me quit drinking. Haven't had a drop in over 3 months.

Guys Ive been lurking a while but need to post. I am truly beyond redemption it seems. 23 years old, student, havent been sober since 2013. I drink every fucking day, more than half a bottle of spirits, a bottle of wine and some else or just anything I can lay my hands on. I cant fucking stop, Im bored to death without but need it to sleep, to feel, to act and to enjoy.
I am twenty fucking three years old and feel like theres no hope anymore already. I cant live like this any longer but the alternative is killing me faster than the alcohol ever could. My self loathing is through the roof, I am destroying my intellect day by day, I am being considered incapable of having relationships because I need my drink more than I need love and my close ones are starting to see the fractures of the walls I build long ago.

I want to live again but I cant imagine a life without alcohol any longer. Been drinking since my 16th, started drinking alone (crucial step) at 18... inhaled a weekly intake everyday since.

I still function, though barely: grades are good, females are charmdd, friends happy to have me.But it's all deterioating. AA is full of simple minded, pathetic fucks, I can't check myself into rehab without my parents knowing and I don't see how I can fix this mess by myself.

There is a major difference between genuine alcoholism and attention-seeking behavior.

99% of the time people who try to share their damage with you they are only trying to manipulate people into satisfying their desire to roleplay.

Guys, I had a moment yesterday where I was feeling pretty down and anxious and all I wanted was a drink, I was even feeling this strange sensations and almost shaking. As soon I made me a tonic and gin cocktail I started feeling better, and I just kept drinking more and more as the night went on.

That was the first time I really felt like that. The first time I just wanted a drink, like just getting a drink would make things better.

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

For many alcoholics that's not always possible because relapsing usually happens. Trust me, while I'm glad I'm finally getting this shit and my health dealt with, it depresses me knowing I won't be able to have drinks with friends, or hell even play video games getting shit faced with my buddy or while buzzed.

I was miserable when I was drinking every day, but now I'm also miserable in a different way since I quit. Everything seems pretty mundane right now.

Can someone explain something to me?

Before I quit drinking I absolutely hated coffee. Like I literally haven't drank that shit in years and years. Then I quit drinking and I can't stop drinking it. I get this odd sense of comfort when I have some, and I drink tons of cups of it a day now. Is there something about caffeine that ticks some part of the brain that alcohol did?

This is a really good way to put it, goddamn. That's exactly what it feels like.

Yeah, I drank for about 7 years myself, so it's a fucking massive change for me to get used to. It seriously feels like I'm trying to get used to an entirely different life, and pathetically enough, almost like a life without a "friend". I don't even know how to describe that in a better way. It's like alcohol was always there to chill me out and make the bad times not so bad and now I have nothing to compensate for all that, I just have to deal with it, like a normal person.

>time heals everything I guess.

I'm going through this same shit right now too. As a bonus, things didn't just go from moderate to severe misery as I went from drunk to sober, there was a latency period of about 10 days after I quit where I was on top of the world and never felt better. I was excited to wake up in the morning because I would wake up at 7 like normal people rather than toss and turn from 2 until time to go to work.

Then the shitstorm kicked in. Everything I look at or think about makes me depressed and I have to fight off tears. Everything from the beer gut, to the grungy shithole apartment I live in, spouse, coworkers, my work, etc... My cats won't even let me pet them anymore. Luckily I drank $8 fifths of vodka the whole time, made really good money, and spent my free time in a stupor so I wasn't out spending money, so I have a ton save up, but even that is depressing. I grew up dirt poor and all I ever wanted was to not be poor, and now that I've got it, I couldn't give a fuck.

One lesson I've learned quickly though is to be aware of your emotions/attitude during this time. Think about crazy bitches you've known over the years and how annoying they were because of their craziness. Well, that's us now. Its a temporary insanity, but its still there and can get you in trouble. We're probably goddamn lucky to make it this far, don't drop the ball when you're 50 feet from the finish line.

What I'm really having to watch out for it that anger and running my big fat kranky mouth. At the last moment I've deleted some rather nasty emails just before sending them and made a few business decisions that would have certainly either gotten me fired or gotten my ass kicked. Be careful, and hang in there.

Shit I feel you there. It was like the first week of quitting and I blew up on my friend for reasons I don't even remember. I apologized soon after though, but luckily he's a chill dude and understands the shit I'm going through with it all. Since then if something irks me even the slightest I just step back and wait until I've calmed down so it doesn't escalate, because I know goddamn well that it will. It's scary not being in full control of your emotions, you feel like a completely different person.

Does anyone find that alcohol really changes the way you see yourself in the mirror?

I'll have a few and then go to pee, and I see myself and I get this disembodied feeling like I'm looking at myself from someone else's perspective, and I'm filled with disgust. It's not disgust like "look at this alkie" or "wow he's made bad choices", it's more like I suddenly "realize" the "truth", that I'm a complete fraud, I dress like a clown, I'm really weird looking, and everyone hates me but just pretends to be nice to me because it's convenient.
