You'd you consider me an alcoholic if I drank 4-5 beers every day. But never get drunk?
Just a light buzz, I have been doing it for years and have never increased my intake.

No. After 3 days the shakes are too much.

Then you are addicted to alcohol i.e. alcoholic
>>18831061
Then you don't seem to be physically addicted to alcohol, but could still be psychologically addicted to it, but may not be as you can stop for a week without becoming nasty.

Being addicted to something is not always the worst thing to happen tho, I myself am addicted to alcohol, strong stims and cigs and I sure enjoy my addictions.

Alcohol destroys your organs, including your brain and literally makes you a stupid. I wood know

When you’re ready to quit go to the GP and get about 12-24 diazepam. Take them when the shakes start and you should be totally free in a week.

how much do you drink per day? Honestly.
How many times do you shit a day?

I used this to get off an ~18 beer a day habit.

Hardly. The physical withdrawals only last 3 to 7 days, but the alcoholic brain fog stays for weeks or even months depending on the level of addiction. Acute anxiety for two weeks, depression for two months is the norm for alcoholics. Of course, that's disregarding the underlying mental problems which all alcoholics have and which led them to drinking to begin with.

>> No.18831367

How does it start anons, consistency or intensity? I've had at least one drink on about 5 out of 7 days of each week for the past few months.

>> No.18831375

>>18831363
I meant free from the risk of seizure and having to drink everyday to stave off withdrawal. The psychological aspect will probably be there for the rest of the life, but it worked for me to get past the horror. Sober 10 months now, so still early days but well worth doing.

Yeah you're right, handling the first week is crucial because the physical symptoms can get brutal.

Slowly. The trouble began for me when I stopped using it to ‘relax’ and realised I can use it to get myself high. It took another two years and numerous incidents after that to quit. From first drink to alcoholic wreck to sobriety was about 14 years.

Same. I was a week sober until an hour ago. Now I've had three drinks and I know I won't stop there.
