Just discovered Buck's Fizz - I'm going to ruin my credit if I'm not careful because champagne is much tasty. That being said, switched over to Jameson, I'm sincerely trying hard to mask that I'm a drunk sack of shit despite having a beer (sometimes two) on my lunch break at a relatively new job

If you like champagne, you owe it to yourself to try the French 75. It's my favorite cocktail, but because I don't have any friends I have to use up the whole champagne bottle myself and I usually end up getting dangerously drunk.

You can get relatively cheap, decent sparkling wine instead of genuine champagne. If you're mixing it anyways, it's definitely good enough.

I usually get panic attacks when I try to stop drinking. I think the main reason I started drinking heavily was to stave off depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. The last time I tried to get sober, I had all of those, but even worse than they ever were before I became an alky. And the dreams, man. The fucking dreams. And muscle spasms. And the stank-ass sweat. I'd rather drink until my liver starts shutting down and then kill myself quick and painless.

Look up the French 75. There's gin involved. You tell me what happens when you have a bottle of champagne and a bottle of gin in front of you and you're an alcoholic and you're "just having a couple drinks." Or just don't. I'm sure a bunch of you are just role-playing anyway.

Hey guys. I get drunk on light beers and maybe a few swigs of hard liquor every night. Space it out with saturday-monday of opiates, amphetamines maybe one or twice a week when something needs to get done, benzos when I want to get absolutely comfy after work, blow every two weeks or so for fun.

It's more or less "under control" in the sense that things are regulated. Completely sober would be nice, yet boring, but then I would have to cut off my enables of both brother and every friend.

welp. the weekend is starting. this is when I really start to crave. I've been sober for two weeks and think I might try drinking on saturday night, see how much I can limit myself. I really wouldnt consider myself an alcoholic but I do have a binge drinking problem which is why I stopped for those two weeks. Flew off the handle a bit and was drunk for a few days straight. I figure I deserve a night of drinking though after quitting for a while

You don't know anything about my drinking habits. You're going off of a single post about one type of cocktail, and trying to dick-measure. I'm in my 30s and I never go to the doctor because I don't want to answer questions about how much I drink. I buy a minimum of 12 beers every day, plus a handle of whiskey, vodka or tequila every 2. While holding down a job. That's the minimum that I drink just to stay functional. I've been drinking this way since my early 20s. So when I want to have a cocktail using a carbonated beverage that you have to drink quickly that also involves opening up a bottle of gin, I don't need some punk-ass kid on the internet telling me what I am and am not. This isn't a contest. The first to reach the finish line fucking dies.

Hi ck. I think I might be an alcoholic. I'm only 19, so my main source of alcohol is stealing from my parents. I feel like a piece of shit whenever I do it, my parents know it happens but they don't do anything to stop it. The wierd thing is even though I get depressed whenever I drink I don't want to stop. It's scary how badly I seem to want to get drunk every night. While my life isn't ruined yet it's not far from becoming that way, I don't know what to do at this point. Should I tell someone?

IMO one of the surest signs of potential alcoholism is the inability to stop drinking once you start drinking. If you recognize this in yourself, try to avoid drinking at all costs. Keep your mind occupied with other thoughts, do some other stuff, don't let drinking while you go about your night become a normal thing.

Whether or not you are currently an alcoholic is a matter of definition (could be considered an alcoholic b/c of volume consumed, motivation for consumption, binginess, genetics, escapism, etc. etc.), but you certainly have the potential to be one.

If you are depressed, make a considerable change in your life. Don't keep up the same patterns and add alcohol abuse to the mix. Your honeymoon phase with drinking will be over before you know it and you will begin to hate it.

There's a fair likelihood that there's a genetic predisposition to addiction running around in your family. If you're seriously worried, I'd go straight-edge. Very few people set out to become alcoholics, and if you're worried now, it's best to nip it in the bud before it has a chance to take over your life. If you have close friends, it might be something you want to tell them to watch out for in you. I became a full-on alcoholic because I'm generally a loner and drink alone.

There really isn't a lot of good support out there. Your choice is basically 12-step programs, which are cultish, semi-religious bullshit, but they really do help people. The point is to meet individuals who are cool and can help and give you support. The programs themselves are nonsense, but they get these people together.

Talking to someone who has never had a drinking problem fails 100% of the time, because they simply don't know. They don't know what it's like, and even if they mean well, they don't know what they're doing. You could also talk to a therapist, if you can afford a decent one. But beware of the ones who give you a list of things to do, because they don't know what they're talking about either. A good therapist is there to get you thinking.

I recently stopped drinking and it also lasted 2 weeks. I thought the same thing that you posted and decided "fuck it, I got this drinking thing under control now" I drank and am back in the same exact cycle i was in before.

It gets pretty tough after a couple weeks. I know they say take it day by day, but all I ever think about is "Am I really not going to have a drink for the rest of my life?" and those are the types of thoughts that set off anxiety. Fuck me though, thoughts while drinking like "Am I really going to drink for the rest of my life?" can also set off anxiety.

Do what makes you happy man.

Update: I successfully avoided going to the store and buying alcohol last night. Fell asleep at around ~1:00 AM and woke up at 9:00 AM, pretty normal for me. The difference is that I didn't feel so hazy and dizzy when I woke up.

I'm not going to panic at all today. What was freaking me out, I think, was that dissociative/depersonalized feeling involved with the hangover. It's like my thoughts are fixated upon existential crisis and I become paralyzed, can't even function properly.

Going to try to just have one beer tonight with dinner and do it again. The feeling of stasis during daylight hours beats the shit out of drunkenness at night for me.

I think you might be me, this is one of my biggest barriers to returning to drunkenness...the hangover derealization and panic attacks

I guess usually I would rather be bored as shit and mostly emotionally stable during the day than have a panicky hangover

Good to know that somebody else out there has experienced this.

>I would rather be bored as shit

Yes, this is what I'm coming to terms with. I had a lot less fun last night without alcohol. No pacing around listening to music, browsing the internet was boring, etc... basically ended up spending 3-4 hours lying in bed watching videos and streams until my interests were sated and I could pass out in peace.

But that's just the world I'm facing. I'm too deep into the mind games. If I get drunk in a way that I feel deep down is inappropriate, I wake up with a hang over, kick myself hard, question my existence, then convince myself I'm having a heart attack or can't breathe.

The glory days of boozing are over for me. I'm not invincible. I'm sick of the internal struggle and just want to chill/be happy.

Well boys, I'm getting out of the game after tonight. I had a harm-reduction system that was working pretty well, but I decided to make an exception and drink on Wednesday night, and here I am on my third night of binge drinking in a row.

Clearly I haven't taken enough time off, so at least for the next few months I'm done with booze. I went two and a half months earlier this year and my life improved amazingly in that short span. I was genuinely happy, my finances improved, I lost weight, I was getting compliments on my performance at work, . . . .

Speaking of work (I'm a lawyer), I just remembered this youtube video of a drunk lawyer in Las Vegas. It's pretty cringe-inducing.

Supposedly. I don't know that it's worse than any other profession, but I certainly have it. Then again, I only became a lawyer because a professor in college recommended that I go to law school, and the idea of putting off the real world for a few more years appealed to me. So I could have been anything, and whatever I might have been, I'd still be an alcoholic.

>>8122368
Of course if you drink a bunch of water with it you won't get as hung over. But you also won't get as drunk, and there's the rub.

that one time I didn't even feel it that much because I literally had to carry my buddy around. We were at a music festival stationed in an abandoned 5-store tall warehouse which had a shitton of holes in the floor where you could fall down 2-3 stores, and since my friend could not really take the poison as well as me I had to manually transport him up and down the stares, according to where the band we had interest in began to play. In the end, that fucker managed to somehow get stoned with random hippie guys as well, and next day claimed to have no memories whatsoever about the previous events.

Sup bros. Made it about 12 days. Or one weekend really because I only drink on weekends. I think the hardest thing about abstaining is dealing with the state of the world. When I get plastered over the weekend, it's like a great reset button. Of course I never make any progress in my life, but I'm absolved of the shit that builds up during the week mentally.

I was trying to start a new way, get on a health kick, seek enlightenment, some kind of bullshit. At least do something that doesn't wreck my body so bad every weekend.

Set short- and -mid-term goals that are significant but not too difficult to accomplish. Try to make it practical too. For some reason improving your life in a practical way, like learning a new language to improve your career, works better than doing things like learning a new instrument. At least it does for me.

Travel helps. Once every few months take a short trip somewhere you've never been. You can do it really cheaply too, if you go on the bargain-finder sites like Kayak. Having a trip to look forward to in a few months will help you resist the temptation to the instant gratification of booze.

Focus on your finances too. It's amazing how good it feels to have money. Less than a year ago I had thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars of credit card debt, and now I'm below $1500 and I have a small nest egg in savings too.

Stay connected to sober people too. There are alternatives to AA, like SMART, that give you all the benefits of a twelve-step group with none of the bad stuff. It's a great way to meet people too.

I stopped counting the number of days, but I'm over half a year sober, and I've only had maybe a half gallon of whiskey, and less than 30 beers in those first 3 months.

Compare that to drinking a half gallon of whiskey every 3 days, chasing it with beer (about 18/week), and smoking a quarter sack of weed a week. I was doing that for about 4 years. It's a miracle I'm still alive, but I've probably shortened my lifespan significantly.

I'm done for good. I didn't have a health scare which is probably what you'd expect. I just got tired of being a failure and decided to do something about it.

Maybe snap your cards. Get groceries all at once spend all the money and have no cash on hand to buy drink. Make it hard to just go and buy it. Fill up spare time by joining groups and just trying to stay out of the house unless your doing some thing proactive...

I made it through law school and my first law job (3.5 years of private criminal defence mixed with general practice) completely sober.

Now that I do criminal prosecutions my caseload is much higher and the overall significance of each case is much more substantial. Not to mention doing exclusively criminal law is an extremely depressing cross-section of the state of humanity.

Alcohol almost every day for months now.

focus on something other than drinking. I know that seems like an crazy task but you shouldnt even be in this thread. Distance yourself from anything that reminds you of drinking. Go watch some TV or a movie, try to make it something where characters dont drunk much. Which is hard, I know but you can find something. Anime is a good suggestion the yungins in those shows dont usually hit the booze. Try to remind yourself how shitty you felt waking up after a night of hard drinking. take a hot shower. just picture yourself in a better place because you didnt drink. You made it through this day, you're doing good already man. you take that first step up the stairs which is the hardest, you see a never ending staircase ahead of you but because you took that first step you realize its just another couple of those until you reach the top. I believe in you, we believe in you. Its harder than you think but its also easier than you think. good luck

Been through that cycle (binge constantly for X amount of days then have to take at least a night off) and I've found that if you just go full insomnia and as the other anon said focus on something, eventually you'll have a decent sleep that's not full of tremors, dread, what have you, and after that I usually feel great. Unfortunately I keep getting back on, but once I quit for 40 days and I just progressively felt better every day, but some friends came in from out of town, one drink turned into the constant cycle of oblivion.

I'd reccomend a comfy vidya or other media that you can fall asleep to. Civ was my go to. And you really can't think straight, real alkies go through various states and severities of mental and physical withdrawl.

I crashed my car into a parked car on the way home from a drunken midnight Maccas run. Luckily when I purchased the cheap bomb car several months prior I didn't fill out the appropriate paperwork (I was driving it unregistered) and it was technically still being driven by the previous owner. I woke up the next morning on the shore of the lake right in between McDonalds and my apartment near where I had crashed and had to limp to a hospital to get my foot stitched up, the brake pedal had gauged the sole of my foot from my foot. This all happened in a relatively suburban area so I stopped by a bottleo on my way to the hospital and had vodka enroute. I told the triage nurse that I had fallen, hungover, down the concrete stairs in my apartment building and landed funny on my foot causing the damage.

This has been a slow escalation of drunken violence that has been increasing in intensity. It's like a Fibonacci spiral of self harm. I'm almost certain that I'm going to get drunk on night and walk into that lake and drown before Christmas.

that night, I called my best friend to try and get him to drive me back to detox - he has a broken leg and cant drive so idk wtf I was thinking. plowed my car into the curb. pulled into a parking lot and started throwing my shit everywhere trying to find my spare tire tools - turned around and there was a cop in the parking lot.

drove on my spare tire to the closest neighborhood complex and slept in my car. woke up around 3 am with the most incredible thirst you could ever imagine. walked for an hour and a half trying to find an open store to get something to drink.

ended up drinking from a puddle because I was so thirsty.

I drank 1.5 L of vodka that day.

it was the kind of thirst that no amount of water could fix.

I was so paranoid that id stuff bottles of vodka down my pants so no one saw me. I don't even know who I was scared of. id walk down side streets and sleep with my back against my bedroom door so no one could come in.

One beer is not a relapse. ONE BEER IS NOT A RELAPSE. That doesn't mean have just one beer. You know damn well one beer leads to two, and two beers is a relapse. If you managed to have one and then stop, thank your lucky stars and don't tempt fate by doing it again. You're still on the wagon.

Thanks to the wonders of pricing errors, I have picked up two bottles of Bulleit bourbon for a whopping £12 each.

Never drunk bourbon before, any tips? Do I use ice? Water?

Don't really want to mix it. I drink a lot of scotch with a small amount of water so I assume that will work fine?

I dont even drink that much although i do drink a lot of craft beer (work in it so its hard not to). Do t have a very good diet either desu.

Two days ago my leg gave out. Then my right arm started feeling sore. As if ive just had an intense workout. The pain on my limbs lasted for days before i finally got it checked out hy a doctor.

Turns out drinking so much has caused nurological damage that may be perminant.

I cant belevie desu. I may never run again and i limp a lot now. All from drinking beer. I quit drinking immediately. Im only 26 i dont want to fuck over myself this young. Drinking is great until youre hit with real world consequences

Often for like a week straight. Then have one cool off day and get back to drinking. One my worst days id put down two six packs of high abv ipas within a few hours. Normally a few bombers a day.

The shitty thing is that i dont think of myself as a real alcoholic. I drink beer because i love the way it tastes. I dont drink vodka or anything else really. Yet i get shafted with this shit that not even the hardcore alcoholics i know have. I havent had beer in like three days and i miss it already

Revealed to the girl I had had a crush on for a few years that I liked her, she told me she'd had a crush on me, too. Didn't lead to much other than us huddled next together in her room, watching old movies, but, I couldn't stay because her parents were born-agains (she was staying home to save up money after ending a long-term relationship).

Saw each other again on Thanksgiving break. She came to where I was living and stayed a couple nights, which was rare because she usually worked 6-7 nights a week in a factory. We both had some Blue Moons one night and some Wild Blue Lager ( slightly higher ABV - like 8%) the next and just cuddled and kissed and went to various restaurants those days.

It was a nice little vacation. We kept going on dates, but never went steady, partially because she lived in the town I grew up in and I in the town I went to university in. Long story short, she broke my heart, it was for the best because it turned out she was a Scientologist, and somehow some part of me still pines for her today. Because of her, I still have a thing for girls around 5'3", AA cup, and thin as the kind of shits you take on Adderall to this day.

I usually don't have a problem with drinking at all. If i dont drink im fine. But the problem is once i start drinking ill binge drink. I either have 0 drinks in a night (which is totally fine) or ill have at least 8. If i have 2 or 3 i need to drink more until i fall asleep.

What do?
