Getting clean, not so bad. Staying clean, fuck that. I've got good and bad going for me though. On the good side, I'm not physically dependent on alcohol, so no shakes or any of that bad shit. On the negative side, I am one of those that if I have one drink it's either blackout time or kill the bottle. I quit dipping three years ago, but kept drinking and I think that kind of put me in a weird spiral for dealing with stress, and I find triggers easy.

I was drinking a pretty good amount, but I've been on and off for a while, usually going cold turkey for a few weeks then bingeing for 6 to 18 months. Never had so much as the shakes, ironically quitting tobacco nearly put me in the hospital. Although the first time I quit alcohol, I did ejaculate blood for a few months, figured my colon was reckt.

[Anonymous No.6346076]

>>6346072

Yeah, varies from person to person whether you get DTs bad.

Also since you said you fell off the wagon, were you attending meetings previously? I know a lot of people have the "hurr durr muh AA it's a cult" mentality, but I mean if you really are worried about your ability to stay sober then I don't see why you wouldn't at least try to exhaust all the options that might help you

[Anonymous No.6346087]

>>6346076
I've never been much for meetings and such, and I don't have that AA is a cult mentality, I'm not much of a higher power guy either though. I'm leaving my options open though, I want to try another time on my own first, maybe be honest with family and friends to give me some sense of responsibility. Not quitting for anyone, but just keeping my shame public if I fail again.

[Anonymous No.6346096]

>>6346087

The whole "higher power" thing doesn't have to be affiliated with religion. A lot of people at the meetings I go to literally use AA as their higher power and it seems like half of them are athiests or at least are not actively religious.

Not trying to push you to actually attend them, just figured I'd throw it out there because it does help a lot of people stay sober.

[Anonymous No.6346100]

>>6346096

[Anonymous No.6346109]

>>6346100

If you do decide to go then I highly Recommend getting a sponsor and actually working the steps as opposed to just going to meetings. The whole "program" SOUNDS really fucking stupid, I won't argue that. However the process of going through it is very therapeutic and makes you much more self aware in general, and it has helped a great deal of people stay sober.

Maybe you can do it on your own, maybe you can't. Just throwing it out there as a potential option based on my experience.

Anyway regardless I wish you the best of luck anon.

During my three day detox, did alright the first two days, just some headaches and basic withdrawal symptoms. Third day, get up feeling fine, start feeling dizzy and nauseous. Have an existing heart arrhythmia , and it starts fluttering. Suddenly run to the bathroom, explosive puking, mostly bile and blood coming up. Walk out with cold sweats and still having my heart rate bouncing around like a 4 year old on coke. All my coworkers looking at me weird, tell me to look in a mirror. I was puking so hard I blew quite a few blood vessels in my face, and now my face is a deep purple color, normally near transparent white. Probably a bit hyperbolic to say it almost put me in the hospital, but it was the worse detox/quitting shit that has ever happened to me.

Meh, I have to jerk off, shave, shower and make something to eat for lunch. I'm approaching my 8th beer and I gotta work in two hours.

Oh well. Thankfully my GM's Mom died a couple days ago, so I've got leeway for a while, while she's taking care of the family bs and since she's the only one who can properly reprimand me, my fellow SS can't prove shit.

I feel bad, cuz yesterday I made her cry because I picked up her shift (8.5 hours of OT @ something to the tune of 20 an hour, lel) and I was bitching about the fact that I haven't had a day off in 17 days (even though I took a week off for my birthday, on vacation pay no less) and she just cried and apologized about what a terrible boss she was and how sorry she was that her personal life has made work life so volatile.

I'd like to drink here and there but I simply don't dare because I know I'll succumb to it immediately. I watched my friends drink, they've always seemed so cheerful at it. But every time they invite me with them, I pass, unless we meet during daytime, and even then I order tea.

Last Saturday someone gave me their 40$ pass to a function that included a rave from 11-2. Would be going alone but I'd never been, so thought fuck it.

I had a rum and coke about an hour before hand, then took a shot of vodka in my car in the parking garage nearby as it started.

As I entered I took .5 of a benzo, then ended up taking about 3 more .5s on the dance floor to a total of 2mg (what the fuck was I thinking).

Left at 2, got home safe. Ended up drinking 3 beers feeling lucid, then finished off the vodka in the car. Blacked out in my chair watching something (first time in my life I've ever blacked out). Awoke and wound up smashing bottles in the apartment and somehow pissing on my roommates bed in front of him as he watched. I don't remember any of this.

Woke up sleeping comfortable in my bed with no hang over. Cleaned the house and bought my severely pissed off roommate a nice dinner to make up for it.

Holy fuck was that a fun night. The consequences weren't worth it though.

Really not that much compared to a lot of people on here. I started drinking too much about three years ago, then I had a period of six months where I almost didn't drink, at least not to excess. Then about one and a half years I started really drinking often, but I was never one to get blackout puke drunk. I would drink a six pack of 0,5L cans of beer most times of the week. Then I started drinking whiskey and would sometimes drink up to two thirds of a 750ml bottle. I've actually significantly reduced how much I drink the last months to only having like three or four beers, but I still find it hard to not drink at all.
It should be noted that even though alcohol is most definitely the primary reason for my liver starting to look bad it's probably also got something to do with that I'm 20 kilos overweight.

I'm 21. If you think your liver might be affected you should just take some drinking off. As I said he told me it's nothing to be worried about at this stage, it's just slightly higher levels than nothing. I'm trying to cut down now and it went pretty well for a while, then I've been drinking a bit now the weekend, but I think I'll be alright. As I said it will be completely reversed within weeks if I cut down the binge drinking.

Alcohol was the only thing that helped me with my social anxiety, and even then it was just masking it. I don't think even without booze I would be any better off than I am right now, other than the health benefits, more free time (not spent drinking), and lack of these panick attacks whenever I stop drinking.

The anxiety benefits really helped with my last semester of college. I had to give presentations almost weekly, and I ould not do it without a buzz.

It used to be a lot worse before I turned 21 and started drinking regularly, especially alone. Like, becoming extremely anxious going into an unfamiliar store. But now I only ever get anxiety when put on the spot, usually among groups of peers or superiors.

Live in Japan for a few years and try saying that again with a straight face.

You see old cunts in their 60's in front of the supermarket drinking 1-cup Sake from the vending machine, absolutely off their tits by 9 every morning.

Also try the beach in the summer, everyone's fucking wasted there. Lifeguards spend more time helping people who are puking and breaking up fights than they actually do saving drowning people.

Train platforms near midnight are hilarious though. 1000 people getting off of a train and simultaneously staggering towards the escalator is a fucking hilarious sight that never gets old.

It's all to be expected though considering that Japan's the kind of country where "drinking every day" is normal.

Just woke up after an amazingly restful night of sleep. No nyquill, melatonin, or even jacking off to fall asleep. Just did a 4 mile ruck yesterday, ate, played vidya, and red a book at 11:30 until I fell asleep somewhere around 12:30.

Man, detoxing after only getting buzzed daily and smashed on weekends is a whole lot better than last time, where I would wake up and drink until night time, and on weekends go hard on various prescriptions and narcotics. Felt like killing myself on the latter, and this time I just have a little bit of heart palpitation and a dry throat.

Highly recommend a detox at least every other week (sun-thurs).

This made me think of something regarding alcohol. There are certain pitfalls, which I've fallen in already or not yet, that make you become more of an alcoholic each, aren't there? For example I started drinking more than only in the weekends, including thursday or friday evenings/nights when I was about 17, 18. Then at 18 I started drinking alone, outside of social situations or gatherings. A year later I cracked open a bottle of wine or some beers every evening. Now I start drinking earlier, around 15:00 sometimes.

There are only a few pitfalls left as of now, like drinking while working and drinking alc after waking up immediatly.

And I'm afraid I'll trip and fall in those pits pretty soon if my life keeps going the way it is. It also seems that when you've reached a new level it all becomes more normal the very moment you succumb to your new rock bottom.

On a pathetic sidenote, anons, why does everyone always leave?

At first it helped me make friends and get pussy because I'm an awkward quiet sperg, the booze made me open up and be 'normal'. But the party ends friend, eventually. And it won't end well. I'm in deep shit. All the friends I've made I have alienated, I never get laid anymore because I became a recluse, I don't even drink in bars or go see bands anymore. I buy jugs of vodka and drink by myself and /ck/. Its fucking pathetic and I'm ashamed.

Just relapsed again, maybe I shouldn't even call it that because I'm not trying hard enough to stop. I took an almost solid shit today for the first time in the last week, got too sick to drink and was forced to do withdrawals again. I keep assuming I'm going to die every time, hopefully a massive stroke so it's quick.

I wish I had become a heroin addict so at least the highs were really highs. The peaks of my alcoholic experience are watching shit late night shows, shitposting, or crying while listening to music and breaking things.

I'm 32 and I have cirrhosis, acute pancreatitis twice, bleeding ulcers in my stomach, nerve damage is getting bad and brain damage is assumed. My kidneys are fucking troopers though, I'm proud of them, no pissing blood yet. Destroyed social/family life so fucked you wouldn't believe it.

If you have anything to live for you probably wont ever get this bad. I wont tell you to stop, but if you have it in you try to cut back a bit. The reckless handle a day drinking catches up with you pretty quick.

Congrats, Anon. It will get better. Have four tomorrow. Three the day after that. Three the next day. Try taking a night off. It *will* get better. If it doesn't on your night off? Three the next day. Three beers is just one 22oz bomber at 7.5%. Maybe the night after that try a 22oz bomber of a session ale at 5% or so. One does not land a plane from by pointing straight at the ground and pulling up at the last second. If you hit a pocket of turbulence while you're on the glide path, enjoy another night of 4 beers and try 3 or 2 the night after. Stay on the glide path. Keep the nose pointed at the runway until the cravings go away and you can nose up with one night off per week, two nights off per week. You got this.

I always help myself to my parents beer, but generally try to stay away from their liquor because I know I'll drink it all. When I do dip into the cabinet I usually leave like an inch or two at the very bottom of the bottle. Pretty pathetic I know. Luckily both my parents come from heavy drinking families so they don't say anything.

Sometimes my dad will be like, "you drank that whole bottle last night?" And I'll say yeah, I stayed up late. Conversation ends there with maybe a small laugh from the two of us. He doesn't know how much I really drink though, even though I live at home since I buy most of my liquor and dispose of the bottles discreetly.

What's the cheapest/easiest thing to get drunk off of without getting sick?

I'm Canadian so it's all pretty expensive but I usually go with beer, though I know hard alcohol is more cost efficient. And won't make you feel as full of liquid.

Vodka doesn't get me drunk, it just makes my stomach upset. I've had good experiences with gin. What do I mix gin with?

Expert drunk here. Buy a large bottle of Gatorade g2, drink it down to the ring on the neck. Fill back to the top with vodka. Should hold you out for awhile and is inconspicuous, the Gatorade also keeps you hydrated and makes the booze easier to stomach. G2 is ideal because since it is already clear instead of opaque you are much less likely to be noticed. Plus I think it tastes better, and has less calories.

An alternative is vodka in a nalgene bottle. You can mix with water if you like. Just don't open it in a car or around people indoors, drink it in private or outdoors. Don't carry beer or other liquors, they smell too much. Don't carry a flask. As convenient as it is, if someone sees it they know.

Good luck.

Serious question. Anyone here who is/believes to be an alcoholic, do you have other substance abuse problems?

For me the closest would be cigarettes. Before I started drinking heavily at 21, the closest would be pot smoking more than one should. Basically ended up swapping out for booze. I'm also a half-pack-a-day smoker.

I have major difficulties with alcohol. I once smoked but found giving up easily. I've had pot in my house for like 6 months and not finished it, something I can't imagine with alcohol. I drink quite a bit of coffee. I once gave it up for a week without much trouble.

I would much rather be addicted to almost any other drug if I had enough money or if I knew anyone but the couple that run the liquor store. It's very difficult to get drugs with no social life where I live. There aren't any street corner dealers etc.

I've been a pot head and a coke head before and I've tried opiates about a dozen times and wouldn't mind being a heroin addict either. Honestly alcohol is the worst drug, but they sell it to me 2 minutes from my house and I won't get arrested buying it.

I'll see if they have any gatorade g2 at the supermarket. Failing that, I'll have to try vodka and water. I've never actually tried that and at the moment I'm out of vodka. I'll buy more tomorrow. But yeah, even when I open a bottle of whiskey or rum I can smell it so I wouldn't carry those.

I'm pretty fuckin' proud of myself so far. This is the first time in 7 years I've drank less than a 12 pack per day.

Do you realize how big a gap there is between genuinely hating your existence and ending it?

I would destroy my parents if I killed myself. I have never wanted to live, but it's not like I get to push a button and make it so I never existed, I have to die. No matter how much you want to die any reasonable person realizes they will do a lot of harm to others if they blow their brains out. No matter how strong your desire to stop this pointless suffering it's still terrifying.

I know I should try to get better at least until my parents die and I have tried a dozen times, I just have an immense amount of trouble enduring my life and booze is so easy to get back into.

I can't pretend life is a good thing like a normal person. That is what I honestly believe it is to be normal, bullshitting yourself. I know I sound like a faggot, but I cant get past that. It's a terrible and pointless burden to be alive.

From personal experience. Seattle buses can literally make you want to kill yourself.

buses that take an hour to go somewhere that takes 15 minutes in a car

roads that cause the above because seattle's road planning could have been done better by a dead coke baby being thrown at a map. (to the best of my knowledge there is no straight east/west street in Seattle that is two lanes and not fucking curving around like a drunk hippo. Anyone who tells you otherwise will lead you into a road fucked up via a construction zone)

or the people on seattle's buses who just dont fucking have any understanding of "volume" for a personal conversation, with other people or on the phone. people who are mentally ill homeless people because Seattle is so fucked up paying the 2.50 (or stealing a transfer) for the bus at night is safer than 90% of their other options. Or the people who have no concept of personal space. and if you are REALLY unlucky you get a school's worth of teens on your bus.

Mostly because the roads are no good, and for all the progressive bullshit the city has, its all from the ideas of people with money. For example the city parks department has a yearly budget set aside for opening new parks. Yet to the best of my knowledge its maintenance budget has not increased in years. Meaning you get a ton of parks opened by rich people because they are "nice" and never taken care of beyond that.

Former al/ck/ and founder of many al/ck/ threads here

I found the answer, and the answer is weed. I saw it posted a few times here before, and I'd recommend, if you have the opportunity to get some weed, do it. I've gone from drinking 15 beers a day to smoking a couple of joints and sometimes nursing a beer throughout the evening.

It does everything booze did for me and more. The best part is going to sleep, melting into your bed and having a perfect sleep every night and waking up feeling great with zero hangover.

I doubt I will ever get wasted on booze again. A few months ago as someone who drank until he passed out for 8 years, I never thought I'd say that.

Weed is that way forward, fuck off this booze nonsense.

I've never tried Sativa though I'd like to, but I would say Indica is similar to feeling drunk at the comfy peak, which is why I like it so much.
