6 days now, feeling pretty good.
Just keeping busy and going on walks.
Few family functions where everyone else was drinking and I'm there with a juice, got the obvious "why aren't you drinking?" "Just have one" lines but powered through.
Weekend was the bigger challenge, back into the working week so will keep active and cook to fill the time before bed.

theyre literally not, withdrawal is literally going into shock due to changes in your body chemistry from suddenly not having to process alcohol anymore

hangovers are usually just mild dehydration and poop problems

Sometimes I ordered another one again that Wednesday night, but usually I was so sick of it by then that the smell of the melted cheese made me dry heave. Anyway, yeah. As long as you can pick it up, you're not in too bad of shape getting one of those every week.

not that i dont have problems and feel my house is not my home, but where i live "living at home" generally refers to "living with parents" -- if you meant otherwise, you'd say something more specific like "living on your own" or "living in residence" or somesuch

prolly comes from the old days where houses were bigger and family-owned and passed through generations, 2bh, so "at home" ran counter to other places you could live, and the implication of it being with parents wasnt positive or negative, it was just "at home, with parents" or "not at home, because you're in factory housing/school dorms/the poorhouse/etc"

Expert pizza time coming through:

If you wait till about 10 minutes before most pizza places you can obtain very cheap pizza. Typically from unclaimed ones. I used to do this all the time - get an X-Large for like 5 bucks. However, I would recommend applying this technique at a Papa Murphy's for best results. Cooked pizza could have been sitting for over an hour.

I think this is just a smaller town thing. I've seen this literally once, and it was at a Timmy's with doughnuts.

Pizza places, either the staff take the lost pizza home themselves, or they just sell it off as slices.

In fact, at my local places, when I get a deal, it's the opposite -- they refuse to make me a whole pizza, but say they'll give me the day's slices that have been left there unbought under heat lamps instead. It's an okay deal at best, too, these lebanese boys know how to fleece a nigga

Maybe.. I haven't tried it at a cooked pizza place in a long timer. I live in a pretty big city with 4 Papa Murphy locations and usually will stop by 1 of them if I'm broke and always score.
They don't always take the leftovers home. Also, they have lots of premade pep and cheese pizzas and will just throw toppings on them. Saves me lots of bucks if I'm over short on cash or just feel like being a cheap little shit.

Differs per person. Tapering never hurs though.

Switch to beer and drink one to three less every day. Never expect it to be completely comfortable though, even with a taper people get jittery and restless and miserable, which is why they overshoot the mark and relapse.

Yes. Do you think that "alcoholic" implies that? It doesn't. Alcoholic implies that you are addicted. That is totally independent from whether or not it is causing problems in your life.

A hangover is from a combination of things. Stuffy sinuses from allergens in certain types of booze. Nausea from dehydration and depletetion of electrolytes (which makes it hard to rehydrate without salt). Headache from dehydration and/or actual withdrawal (headaches can be caused by a bazillion different things so the exact cause can vary). Laziness (or rather, lack of motivation) from the decreased release of dopamine the next day (which hair of the dog fixes quickly). Not to mention that everything is worsened by ruined sleep quality caused by alcohol in your system while asleep (it impacts hormone secretion during sleep and fucks the whole thing up). Alcohol irritates your intestinal lining and can give you the shits the next day.

It's complicated and hard to determine what is meant by withdrawal. The headache (sometimes) and general unpleasant and lazy feeling are probably the easiest to classify as a sort of short term withdrawal (as a result of dopamine levels being lower than is normal) but I would be skeptical of classifying the other symptoms as withdrawal. Most of the hangover symptoms can be eliminated by eating a decent meal and drinking a good amount of sprite or sports drink near the end of your evening. Stuffy sinuses can be avoided by being more selective about what you get drunk on and staying hydrated.

I disagree with this. I am a beer/cider/wine drinker. I've been a 'problem drinker' for close to nine years. it started out slowly but the pattern was there an in the past few years it's gotten to be a serious issue. Ruined relationships, money problems, it's all there, and I don't get withdrawals. A handful of times in the past year I've spent the day after a heavy binge being shaky and scattered but 99% of the time when I go dry for a day or two I don't have any lasting affects other than feeling a bit shitty. In many cases alcoholism is a mental issue, not a physical one. I think you can DEFINITELY be an alcoholic without experiencing withdrawal. It's all about your relationship with alcohol. I don't get withdrawals and I have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.

I think even drunken roasties are scared to reveal themselves in al/ck/. Fucked if I know why.
It’s their loss, they won’t be having any sex with us. One day it’ll hit them what they could have had. They missed out. They lose.

LMAO.

Bud Light is $20USD for a 30 pack. Pints of bottom liquor can be had for $6-8 USD.

This morning as I was going in and out of sleep when I remember sort of waking up and staring into blackness and all my muscles rapidly pulsed and I had no control over anything and I was still half in a dream, sort of.

A few months ago I had similar, but I watched myself collapse on my couch straight out of consciousness and had vivid hallucinations.

Both times were after extreme drinking (20+ a day) and coming down without a drink in me. Were these seizures or some other issue?

When I say "pulsed" I mean rapid tremors and twitching violently.

I used to be able to induce those by crossfading. Sometimes now I get them from coughing really hard. It's like no blood getting to my brain for ten seconds or something. I call it "getting my bell rung," and I kind of like it.

Decided to pour down 8 shots last night before work the next morning. Proceeded to have the worst day ever.

People kept asking me if I was okay. I've never really been out of the loop but being spacey, depressed and not motivated blowed. Gonna stick to killing two handles on the weekend and not on a work night.
