Hey guys I just learned a new trick for myself. Others might know this but I'll post it anyway.

I wanted to get a bottle of wine open in a hotel room but didn't have any access to a corkscrew.

Hold the bottle sideways, and forcefully "tap" the bottom of the bottle against the face of a couch arm. Just keep doing it for a while and the pressure will start forcing the cork out so you'll be able to just pull it out the rest of the way.

Cheers.

It's just a battle of willpower. There a few things that can make it a little easier though:

Find things to keep your mind occupied: hobbies, books, movies, whatever. Something that if you're bored won't make you think about or be tempted to drink.

Eat lots of food, seriously. Eat to the point you can't possibly eat any more. I find if my stomach is totally full to the point of or almost at the point of discomfort I have absolutely no desire to drink.

Build new habits to replace your drinking routines. If you found yourself coming home and watching a certain show or listening to certain music or something do not do this sober. It will just remind you of booze and tempt you to drink.

That's what addiction is though. There is a reason why only a small minority of drug users for any given drug become addicts. Part of being an addict is irrational behavior.

>Benzos are very similar but much, much better for your liver/stomach.
Sure, but arguably they lead to cognitive problems quicker, and have a more protracted withdrawal due to their half life. Although both severe alcoholism and benzo addiction can lead to life-threatening withdrawal, it is easier to get to that point with benzos. Especially since most people's first foray with them is through a doctor's prescription for their anxiety. In the long run I would argue that alcohol is worse in a sense since it's the only recreational drug that will lead to the degeneration of myelin. But the differences are so small you're effectively handicapping yourself for life with an addiction to either.

Regardless, you can laugh at the people here who have massive physical problems from prolonged alcoholism, but one form of therapy with a (relatively) high success rate for addiction is the combination of positive reinforcement (e.g. addicts relating to each other over their drug consumption) and perceiving the negative health effects. This is the most well studied in tobacco addiction for example, where the therapist will say things along the line of "Oh that's great that you smoke it must feel great, and provide such social benefits and all that, it's a worthwhile price for cancer, COPD etc...". Of course, the therapist will be more subtle than my example.

I do think these threads are valuable to the addicts who browse it, though I'm no clinician (But I sometimes work with them).

I'm this Anon; Ended up getting very drunk that night, smashed half a bottle of bourbon and a good 15+ beers. It's now 6:00am Saturday morning Australia and I'm planning on going on a decent bender this weekend. Starting drinking with an alcoholic mate of mine at 12:00pm and drinking all through the afternoon and seeing where it takes us. Most likely going to pass out and continue drinking when i wake up early Sunday morning.

This thread has really turned into my personal blog. Any other young people here who know they're slowly turning into an alcoholic but don't really care? I'm not even depressed, there's just no other substance that gives me the same feeling as alcohol. Three years ago I would get drunk once a fortnight when going out with friends, by 19 I was drinking alone in my room once a week in conjunction with going out, now that I'm 21 I'm drinking heavily 3-4 times a week. This is my last year of university and I haven't worked full time yet, and I'm scared that I'll be forced to stop drinking once I do. Anyone a "functional" alcoholic here who works a decent full time job? I need a little inspiration.

I just stopped taking antabuse a couple days ago and am planning on drinking in a couple hours. I was only on 250 mg, and I only took it for about a week, so hopefully drinking won't fuck me up too much.

I have a new system that I think will help me keep my drinking under control. I'm only going to drink light beer, and I'm only going to start at 1:00 a.m. I live in a state where alcohol sales aren't allowed after 2:00 a.m., so by the time I get the urge to go out and get more, I'll know it's too late. And I'll only buy enough beer to get drunk, but not black out drunk (a twelve pack of Miller Lite). That way, I'll finish it all and will have none left when I wake up, so I can't turn the binge into a bender. And I'll only allow myself to do this Friday and Saturday night.

Wish me luck!

I don't know if this is even the right place to ask because I assume most people here are more alcoholic than me. But I'm wondering; is it possible to reduce cravings for alcohol by having fewer drinking sessions? (By session I mean binge because I always drink until I don't want to drink anymore, and that's NOT after only a few beers) I usually get alcohol cravings mid-week but I'm now trying to reduce it to only drink once a week. Will this work so eventually I won't feel the urge to drink more than once every week or is it doomed to always go in one direction: one wanting it more and more?

Yes, work until 5, maybe do something like work out, mow lawn, make dinner or a combination of them. Then drink light beer.

I used to drink good beer, but that hurt my wallet, so I settled on Miller High Life. Then I went back to my high-school roots of Busch Light when I realized that 3 'schlights equal 2 high lifes in both calories and abv, so I just always have those on hand.

From all my experiences--and I'm not much older than you--I'd say that there's no such thing as a functional alcoholic. You either mainly stay sober and fuck up every once in a while as an in-between, or you stay drunk and lose everything. Functional alcoholism is a TV drama meme.

My family tree is basically a grape bush, and it's the same thing over and over. Let me tell you that the idea that a functioning alcoholic isn't going to fuck up and have compromised judgement at some point is horseshit. You can't follow some sort of set of principles with discipline if you can't even keep yourself from becoming a full-blown addict.

If you're worried that your drinking is going to fuck with you working regular hours, it's a good time to cut down. If you're worried that working regular hours is going to interfere with your drinking, then it's a good time to consider going to rehab. If you want inspiration, a thread of mutually-feeding alcoholics probably isn't the place to get it.

And I'm telling you this as someone who's easily a borderline alcoholic.

drinking: a juicy italian red; farnese fantini primitivo puglia $14 but its half decent. got a $15 bottle of valpollicela up next and a bunch of ale and port on hand if I get sick of wine

cooking: seared pork cutlets salt and white pepper rub, red onion marmalade with above mentioned wine, half a cinnamon stick, a couple cardamon pods and a small star anise pod (plus a bit of salt, corn starch and demura sugar to thicken and balance flavour), blanched skinned cherry tomatoes assorted varieties in apple cider vinegar, steamed green beans with lemon, new nugget yellowflesh potatoes (i think yukon gold), butternut squash with butter and a dusting of demura sugar. might make a port poached pear for dessert but I don't have any decent pipe tobacco on hand to match it with

sorry for the blogpost, just kinda lonely. sick of people IRL after managing a large agricultural operation all week. Most weekends I just wanna get drunk, hang out with my dog and cook. tell me what I should spice things with or call me a CANDYASS or whatever.

Kind of a waste, I habituated myself to drinking for grad school interviews and conferences, and I drank 3-4 drinks a couple times a week in the months preceding to habituate myself to it since alcohol isn't my drug of choice. It worked.

I guess the point I was trying to make was drink a bit, but space it out and don't get wasted.

Also experiment with things like b vitamins and alpha lipoic acid when you drink and when hungover to see if that helps.

Psychiatrists who treat/think alcoholism is the primary issue you are having are garbage. Enjoy your shit vistaril because you can't ever be trusted. Meanwhile you start drinking again because their shit drugs are shit, they regularly don't help you and they can't help you any further or it will make them feel bad.

When picking a psychiatrist and psychologist. .. if they have an extensive ongoing substance abuse treatment background, be prepared to look elsewhere. Look for someone with at least 10yr experience too, but not so old that they fall asleep during your appointment.

I drink beer because I drink hard liquor at the same pace I drink beer.

That means I pass out in like two hours where as with beer I get to enjoy nursing a buzz for about 12 hours until I'm so drunk I have to go to bed.

It makes me chubby but at least I don't get the drink pass out wake up 4 hours later drink pass out rinse repeat cycle that gives me killer WDs.

im a hard liquor drinker and always wonder how people like you drink beer? not trying to sound offensive here im just genuinely curious because when I drink beer I feel bloated and full after like 3 beers and barely tipsy. I just can't imagine getting drunk off beer because i'd probably have to drink an insane amount to actually get comfortably drunk it would be up to my eyeballs
I mean, I guess thats probably just because im a binger and my tolerance is out of whack but still

I wish quitting wasn't so difficult. My health really depends on it though. I look like shit on top of it.

How badly did alcohol affect your appearance, al/ck/?

Quitting is difficult yes but you've got to think about how good you will look after you've quit. Use that as motivation. I was looking at a picture the other day of myself when I was drinking hard. I was so chubby and had that whole frog throat thing going on like I was pablo escobar, looked in the mirror and was just so glad I made that change. I still come into these threads because hey its all ingrained in all of us right. Even though I stopped drinking daily I still fly off the handle sometimes and when I wake up and look at myself I can tell. I always tell people with drinking problems like myself that you dont have to quit indefinitely. Its normal to drink on the weekends, its normal to drink too much sometimes, but if you're not doing that all the time its an achievement especially if you used to have a drinking problem. And dont refer to yourself as an alcoholic if you quit drinking, that is the dumbest fucking thing i've heard from AA and NA and all that shit. Thats just basically saying hey I used to have a drinking problem and keep reminding yourself that you did.

I'm afraid it's all or nothing for me. I can't drink just a little bit, I always, always go too far. I can't control myself at all.

My hair looks like garbage too and I can't stand that sunken in eye look I have going on. I hate it. I'm actually really skinny, so weight isn't an issue for me.

Empty stomach. If there's food in there I'm hitting the black velvet but wake up and start drinking and it doesn't hurt like hard shit and you get those glorious burps and satisfying pisses all day. Then I just eat small, protein dense meals and I still keep getting drunker.
