I'm an alcoholic ask me anything.
some inb4s:
>why don't you just qui?
It's not that easy. It really isn't. I've been through some tough shit in my life and I've yet to figure out how to overcome this.
>what's your favorite drink?
120 proof Knob Creek out of the bottle chased with Bud Light.
>What's your favorite dinosaur?
Pterodactyl obviously.
Other alcoholics get the fuck in here.
...
>120 proof Knob Creek out of the bottle chased with Bud Light
My fucking nigga.
There is absolutely no way that is real.
alcoholic reporting in
sober tonight after putting down 18 brewskis last night
looking forward to my next binge either tomorrow or the next day
am alcoholic to. I drink cuz my life is falling apart and its a temporary escape
>I've been through some tough shit in my life and I've yet to figure out how to overcome this
Why don't you grow the fuck up and just move on? Drinking will only make things worse in the long run you fucking moron. There are people out there who have been through the same as you or worse and they have moved on, you're just weak.
im on 6 tonight also wacked on coke bahahahaa
Why don't you just an hero?
>I'm an alcoholic
>chased with Bud Light.
>chased
>aloholic
no you're not
That shit is good man try it if you haven't.
I lived in California for awhile and my friends would always give me shit for drinking Bud Light but it's my favorite beer.
They drink hipster beers mostly.
>putting down 18 brewskis
How long did that take you and what beer?
There's nothing quite like coming home to a fresh suitcase of beer.
pic relate. it's %4.2 just like bud light, so actually not a true 18 "standard drinks" worth of alcohol, i guess like 15
i slammed the first 6 pretty quick then slowed down by a good clip, by the end i was sippin'. i guess probably like 6-7'ish hours in total
People who cant accept not everyones the same
been an alcoholic since i was 15
Favorite drink is 700ml jack daniels
>Drinking will only make things worse in the long run you fucking moron
Yea I know. I used to be just like you.
>you're just weak
In this yea. Everything else I'm pretty successful.
I have and have always had an addictive personality. Sometimes it helps other times it doesn't. Considering AA but I don't really know if that would help.
Lots of reasons.
??? You have point or do you just post vague shit that can't be interpreted?
contributing to thread
As opposed to any other size bottle?
Hmm, never seen it I'll try it if I do.
And your pace is about what mine is.
>jack daniels
Newbie.
Saved.
Is your liver going to kill you too OP?
go to bed andy
Recovering alcoholifag here with 54 days sober.
Any plans to quit? Or are you just gonna ride this thing out until the inevitable crash and burn?
Recovering Alcoholic here. 2 Years sober. Media and weak willed faggots make it seem like It's harder than it is, like you'll always crave alcohol.
Even the smell of it makes me fucking nauseas now.
Give it a shot OP. Dont be a weak willed drunkie loser.
Is alcoholism ever worth risking?
Probably in my 50s.
Trying to quit and making some progress.
Im drinking mainly beer now as opposed to liquor but it's proven more difficult than I imagined.
Got any tips?
Most people under 30 aren't alcoholics if they are still happy and have good times on it. You are just posers that drink a lot and like the title
My girlfriend used to be an alcoholic. I made her quit and replace the booze with various drugs. She's much happier now.
Am I the only one around here who drinks like a fucking fish and am not ashamed of it, worried about it, or trying to quit?
Seems like every so-called "alcoholic" these days is just a "boo hoo woe is me" faggot using alcohol as their blanket to hide under
Alcohol isn't meant to be a blanket, it's a fucking celebration, it's a reason to wake up into this shit-tier planet every day. It's a good time neatly packaged in a 750ML glass bottle on every store's shelf!
Fuck is wrong with you people nowadays??
be thankful u can afford alcomahol. asshole...
me
Tips:
Dont tell people youre a recovering alcoholic. Just tell people you dont like the taste of booze or that it makes you sick. Judgement sucks and will poke at your sobriety.
Its not as hard as everyone says. Its not that I wasnt bad, I drank vodka from 7AM to 11PM every day. I'd wake up with the shakes because literally 8 hours of sleeping was too long to go without booze. One morning I woke up and couldnt get the vodka bottle to my lips because I was shaking so violently, I had to find a straw and suck the vodka through a straw. Youll have a rock bottom moment like this, and from there on you'll WANT to get clean, not just talk about it on Sup Forums.
I just think people really like to say it's harder than it is.
THE GYM. Working out is probably the best method to staying clean. Trying to get into peak physical shape is great because drinking is super counter productive to it.
Not an alcoholic if you're even buying 750s at a time kek
You may not be crazy about this idea but honestly I'd never have gotten more than 2 days without some outside help. I "came out" to family and friends about my problem. The more people who knew what was going on, the harder it was to justify relapse.
Personally I mostly don't like AA but it wouldn't hurt to go once or twice. The one thing I DID like was just being in the company of other alcoholics. Up until then I felt totally alone. Didn't know anyone else I could relate to, so just being able to shoot the shit with like-minded people felt validating. Though like I said, it didn't really appeal to me beyond that, but your mileage may vary.
Well i`m an alcoholic too in my place it`s a lot different most people drink out of depression or your so called tough shit , but im just drinking for the fun of it my lifes great and beeing drunk makes it even better i just love the feeling when i get drunk its awesome and i see alc. for me like an emotiomal enhancer which it is and if your happy you know the outcome fun lols and great evenings but in your case your pretty much going to fuck yourself and make it even worse without even knowing it
No, no, no. There's something wrong with you, not them.
So fellow alc's what are your stats?
I usually got up to 12-14 hour sober before entering night mode. Usual setup is a bottle of whiskey or vodka with up to 8 beers. I tank that up in under 4 hours and pass out.
Thanks for this post. How'd you do it? Cold turkey?
What's your definition of an alcoholic?
You sound like you're in the early stages and don't drink that much.
I am actually. I'm a 'functioning' alcoholic but still one nonetheless.
To clarify I recently started drinking and it really takes the edge off my anxiety and I don't really get hangovers. So I'm deciding how careful I should be.
I used to drink for fun but then the problems catch up and once depression hits you, you drink because you have too. And its no fun anymore either.
That was just an anecdote, I drink beer
Ah okay I should have assumed, that clears things up
If you drink because of anxiety stop now. You WILL start getting dependent on it and it sucks.
I myself am on the suicidal stage right now.
amen
Oh it's real alright.
Rather than reasons for "just quitting", because quitting any addictive substance can be very hard, varying from person to person... But what has stopped you from putting all the money you use for alcohol into some kind of rehab programme instead?
I realise rehab isn't a 100% certainty, I once knew a guy who had been in several times and still referred to himself as an alcoholic (not recovering alcoholic) even after spending 6 months sober.
Holy teenagers. No shame. No commitment.
When your stomach lining is gone or your liver is full of fat...you'll stop. Or die. It is incredibly painful. Yee.
Hipsters drink shitty beer because it's shitty. It's so fucking stupid it's like wearing your pants down past your ass with a belt on or a goddamn beanie in 90 degree weather.
Thanks user.
Do you think I could just get drunk every few days or is that just a classic trap?
I've seen 40+ alcoholics and I've seen 30- alcoholic.
The former are completely out of control and are generally worried about their drinking problem.
The latter will tell you at any given time they're alcoholics but never seem too concerned and don't do anything about it.
Fuck no. Cold turkey would have probably killed me.
In patient rehab for a few weeks then cold turkey.
I dont want to talk shit but you arent an alcoholic. You dont even present like one. Drinking beer and 750mls doesnt make you an alcoholic. I would wake up at 8AM and kill a liter of vodka by noon. You just sound like a binge drinker.
Thats how I started. Drinking to curb anxiety. Oddly enough I dont even have anxiety now that I'm clean. Kind of funny how that works. Be careful.
Before doing in patient, I maybe lasted 8 hours without drinking. Now I'm 2 years and cant even smell the stuff.
Never a beer drinker. Used to buy liters upon liters of vodka from costco. Then use mio/crystal light drops straight into the vodka. I'd do this all day. How i functioned is beyond me, but used to do it into water bottles for work.
Because it can and will cause major health problems?
My years of heavy drinking have left me with regular heart palpitations that can only be driven away with -- guess what? -- more booze.

^^^^^A poem I wrote when they were really bad.
Roughly translated:
O Sake cup,
Bestill my heart,
Forever.
Two fucking meanings there, you know.
Kek
Well its maybe my attitude to life which lets me drink the way im doing it , well whats depression here ? to me its just a weak ass mind nothing more
alright lets say a family member drops dead for sure its sad and it will take weeks maybe moths to get over it , just dont drink for the time meet up with friends to raises your mood and your done , you get what i want to tell you here grief is just a phase , but depression is an excuse for the week + never cry over a girl
This times this.
I drank my way into ulcers. Me and a girl I was dating would down a fifth or more of something hard every night.
My alcoholism pretty much ran from about 18-26.
But once it gave me a horrible agonizing pain in my gut I stopped.
Realized I needed a buzz in my life, switched to weed instead.
And stopping anything isn't hard. You. Just. Quit. The first week there will be cravings and you will miss it. The second week it will be far easier, after that, as long as you keep busy, you don't think about it much.
And this applies to everything. I quit smoking, alcohol, and opiates.
The first weeks is a bit rough, but after that it's like thinking about a steak dinner, sure it sounds good but ultimately you can take it or leave it.
Alcohol can be used in moderation and it can even be to some degree healthy. You CAN use sedatives in harsh moments to take of the edge but once you start doing it systematically you are going down a very dark path.
I am not even that old but I could tell stories all day long.
Wait. Hipsters do stuff just because no one does it?? So those fuckers are the ones making sure shit still gets made. We should burn em
10$ handle of shit-tier vodka, that is when you know you are an alcoholic, or when you are heading to work with pockets full of 99 pineapple and drinking them throughout the day...made it a week trying to ween off, full blown panic attack, drank and it went away...thats a real alcoholic
if you aren't waking up every single day shaking and puking or still drunk (man i love those days) you aren't an alcoholic
well whats an alcoholic in the first place some say your a drinker when you drink 2 beer a day well i dont think so but a bottle ? yes then you are i wouldnt say there is a dif. between 1-2 bottles
I used to polish off Everclear bottles in about 3-4 days. Turned into 2-3 days and I realized I had a problem after the second time I got arrested in a McDonald's for screaming at a girl when she wouldn't take some bills I was giving her as a tip.
It is a weakness, I am not proud of it but I admitted this some time ago.
I am seeing professional help so they told me I have depression. I am no attention seeking faggot who thinks he knows better then some specialist.
I tried cold turkey dozens of times. The last time was 2 weeks ago and the withdrawals were intense I probably should have been hospitalized but I am a stubborn asshole.
Right there with you bruh. Duodenal ulcer. Still have it two years later but it's managed.
17-25 for me. The ulcer was a real bitch because it caused me to drink even more. I'd kind of self medicate between vodka and gaviscon/tums.
I started working out, it really gave me the high I wanted. They say dont use any illicit substances once your clean but I use test/roids/juice whatever but idc, not even close to alcohol.
Nikolai did something very similar to me, but I was in a strip club on a scar-tissue tuesday and it's a much different ending to your story..
I don't tell anyone but my family and close friends already know.
I haven't had a moment as bad as yours but I consistently drink before work and I remember one morning I threw up a bunch of beer and my first thought wasn't 'thats bad' it was 'God damnit I just wasted alcohol'. Then I drank some more. Also my fingers are starting to get a little shaky occasionally.
I've thought the gym would be a good alternative, I used to work out all the time and swim. I broke my ankle in 2 places and had to have surgery which cost me my job and I couldn't do shit and it exacerbated my drinking. I'm almost healed now though so I'm planning on going back soon thanks user.
>The one thing I DID like was just being in the company of other alcoholics
This makes sense so I'll probably try it a couple times.
That's how it always starts and it evolves into an addiction. Be careful.
i could think of 1 or 2 reason to really break you.
want to tell us whats your reason for all that
Okay. Yeah I tend to drink pretty fucking heavily when I do start drinking. Usually vodka or rum. Beer and ale etc. is usually rancid for me. I'll consider it.
Good luck with your own stuff anons.
You are young aren't you?
Its a common sob story as far as I'm concerned.
I had this problem for the past few years. Alcohol that is.
Either way, I can't seem to progress in life. My father was diagnosed with cancer just recently and I quit my job to take care of him. Meanwhile the love of my life doesn't want to be together anymore because she says she isn't happy while the truth is she moves up while I stagnate.
The first 2 weeks I couldn't eat and dropped weight as if I were in Auschwitz. Then I tried quitting again and suffered severe withdrawals and now I try not to drink but by the end of the day I have too.
Thats the long story short I guess.
That's rough bud
This one is mainly what I drink. I don't know if I would consider myself an alcoholic though. The alcohol percentage is really high, like 10.6% so just one is enough to give quite a kick. I used to drink 3-5 a week once. Is that considered an alcohol problem?
Well. Financial troubles. Relationship troubles and family troubles.
It takes its toll because I HAVE to be there for somebody else while my body is literally failing on myself.
My mom used to fill drinks from a garbage can on the beach. I think you're an innocent faggot
first of all never ever cry over a woman i lost like 3 loves of my life whos cares about that the next week you will another one
well im sorry to hear that with your dad , but dont you think you need to be strong for your family then ? grab yourself up and help the people with the real problems and that isnt you in that case !
Bet dad would walk off a cliff if he knew after telling you to GO LIVE. But I understand also.
Don't make him watch user.
Are you an chippo?
You think I didn't thought about this? You are right and I've heard it a dozen of times.
I tend to have a destructive personality but I am not selfish.
There is a difference knowing what to do and actually doing it.
People told me time heals. So far its not working but getting worse so this can make you have bad thoughts.
If you don't want to change you won't. Good luck.
Maybe you are right and I don't. I'll consider this if I go thru with offing myself.
Yes. Please think of my exact post as the thing that put you over the edge.
Dumbasses.
I'd expect that kind of reaction in my self care group but c'mon dude.
Whatever I wrote I meant and in the end of the day I still can make some stupid comment.
Chill, the world doesn't end with me biting a bullet. This is Sup Forums after all.
You need to hit rock bottom. Take 20$ and pack a hobo bag. Just the basics. Maybe some clean underwear and stuff. Drive an hour or two from where you live and park your car somewhere safe or better yet take the bus. Once in your new diggs start collecting cans and recycle them for pocket change. Find somewhere dry to sleep at night. after a few days if you get tired of living like that remember that is an outcome of being a hardcore alcoholic. Scare yourself sober.
Ayeeeee been up all night drinking. I drink between 12 beers to a fifth every day, my parents would be so proud
Because the past few years of living in the bottom of a bottle were fun, and I still really enjoy it, but the cracks are starting to show
Oh man knob creak is some powerful shit.
It's normally like $42 / 750ml here at my Hyvee in Iowa.
They had a deal where you could get a handle of the stuff for $40.50
There was like 3 months where I was living in that shit but I much prefer other whiskey over it.
My stomach lining is dissolving
You have yet to have the light sucked from your soul. I wonder what "you" would say to yourself a few years down the line reading this post
It's almost like you have no life experience, like you're younger than 18
Problem is, alcohol is a depressant. Long term you just get more depressed. I had to move off the drink and on to some valium before I was really feeling anything, but valium still fucks you up. Just go cold turkey if you aint in too deep.
>alcoholic
>chasing
Youre a pussy thats what you are
OP is dick.
Don't you know about weed? It's the key component in your struggle with addiction. You need to smoke every day one month. And use some nootropics to work. If you have no work you can get high and sleep. Don't share this secret to another bibers.
>chill I'm allowed to be a dumbass
And I'm allowed to point it out, dumbass
You're so cool
Why so butthurt? Sure thanks for the advice and everything but of all places you try to be serious here?
Nursefag here. So funny when you fucking drunks show up in the ED crying about how you wanna detox and get sober and we tell you to gtfo and discharge you because your uninsured ass is just going to start drinking the minute you leave the hospital. We all hope you die.
I'm addicted to heroin. I can't function if I go more than 12 hours without getting high. It takes 20-30$ worth of dope just to get me high otherwise I just feel normal, not sick. If I could quit I would but I am completely isolated in life and have nobody who cares about me. The only way I get through each day is by numbing out reality.
>I defend all of my actions to the last drop
>why can't I stop alcohol
Because only when I'm serious does everyone else's stupidity SHINE.
Am I butthurt or are you a child? The world holds its breath
Gonna shit the bed next time I'm in.
Not sure if you are baiting me into replying at this point but it works either way or not.
I am serious with my listener and don't make stupid remarks if that helps sooth your bum hurtings.
I am here to blow of some steam and read up others opinions. Having had talked with other alcoholics already made me change some things in my life.
Also the reason I can't stop fully are not only in my head. Just saying that the body can't always handle it either.
Cutting back on alcohol. Started shitting blood multiple times a day and had heartburn all the time.
Feeling better and looking slightly better already. But every now and then...
Anyways, stay strong bros. Consider marijuana to wean off of alcohol, then wean off of the weed. It's not going to make you productive or anything, but it will at least not do so much damage to your body.
You are an idiot.
>I could be wrong but
Said everyone ever who didn't know anything.
>You are an idiot.
That makes two of us.
