How are you doing boyos?

I wish I had weekends off. I haven't had one off in around 8 months. I always get Thursday or Friday off. All I do is work and drink. Just killed a 40 and have a few beers. Couldn't pick up liqour today, kinda glad about that because I had 2 5ths in the last 2 days plus hitting the bar twice. Thankfully didn't do too much dumb shit

The AA would have been worthless without it. AA originally called for LSD to be involved in there but they scrapped it

I come from a swing shift myself. Hours all over the damn place. I can tell you having weekends off isn't what its cracked up to be. After doing the whole M-F, 8-5 deal for going on two years now, I miss those weekdays off. Weekends are always crowded with fucking people and it takes 5 times longer to do something than it would during a weekday. Markets are full, stores are full, lakes are packed with weekend fishers, campgrounds are full of weekend warriors, roads and backed up and congested. It gets really annoying after a while.

You're right to a certain degree. Why give up pleasure in this hell hole, when it's so easy to come by? But after many years on the nod, I've begun to think of the real nothingness at the true end, and it only makes me want to drink more.

how do doctors respond? my 'family' doctor is a complete bitch and got mad at me when i asked why i had to wait 6 months to see a psychiatrist last time i went in desperate as hell. of course that is just the way it is here, and i dont expect them to be nice to me, but being bitched out about that made me never go back to her and actually tell any kind of truth.

I certainly dont feel i can approach her saying i have an aclohol + klonopin addiction and want to die without some kind of third degree

I really wish i had at least one person to go to though

mm sometimes i think i could quit drinking, quit eating unhealthy food, quit sleeping in, start exercising, cut out my extensive alone time.

and then i realize everything i like would be gone and id have nothing left

drinking a 15 pack after 3 weeks of sobriety lmao

I did all that for around a year and a half. Didn't drink, hit the gym 4 times a week and ate oats/chicken/eggs thanks to Veeky Forums but I wasn't anymore happy or social now that I look back. At least I have a physical job that keeps me in somewhat good shape where I can drink and not get fat. I hit rock bottom, completely changed and now I'm just maintaining. People tell me I sound happier than ever so I feel ok about it

Wait for a psych is about just as long here too. I've been through 4 and they were all useless. Been misdiagnosed at least 6 times when the problem is actually very simple: everything fucking sucks.

I'm going to be very adamant about this suggestion: go to your local store and look for something called "Valerian Root". It's an herb extract high in GABA that has done wonders for my depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I take a relatively high dose around 4gm a day but it really takes the edge off. It might make you drowsy, but I've never had a problem with that. Just mellows you out and slows the mind.

If a medfag starts moralizing with me, I tell them straight up, "fuck off with that shit. I'm paying you to evaluate physical health status, not hear a fucking sermon". You've got to be firm with these medfag evangelicals.

>You have gout
>So basically just stop enjoying anything good in life like cheeseburgers, steak, craft beers, liquor...
I would much rather die from that shit than turn into a tea drinking vegan.
God damn.

Doctors are also real black and white about this kind of shit, I'd take it easy on the booze until you can reassess how your body is gunna react. You might end up being fine with hard liquor since you generally end up drinking less of it since you get drunk faster.

Where do you guys live that you have to wait on psychiatric evaluations?
I've only had to wait maybe 3 weeks and that's only because it was their first scheduled opening.

I remember when I couldn't go a single night without drinking. Those were tough times.

Now I find myself drinking every other night or every other other night... and while I know some would be tempted to call me an alc I know better. I know what it was really like when I couldn't stop. And now I enjoy it in "moderation" (not really but whatever).

It's a conflicted feel. I like it.

>Weekends are too fast.
Fuck if that's not the truth.

Yeah, I'm thinking this is the case. I mean, I was drinking massive amounts of beer before. I figure if I cut back and get my uric acid levels in check, I'm probably going to be fine. No need to go full vegfag yet. Just temporarily (because I sure as shit ain't giving up the sauce).

I don't have a regular PCP because I don't want to do a physical or have to talk about my drinking habits, so I'm not 100% sure. When I have a medical emergency I go to urgent care or, if necessary, the ER. So I'm sure that when they tested my blood they discovered I'm an alcoholic but I was long gone by then.

Some doctors are better and more understanding, but many aren't. They see a lot of stupid shit day in and day out, so they kind of lose patience with people. And let's be honest, being an alcoholic is kind of stupid. But there are worse ways to live, if you ask me. So while I don't expect them to understand, if you feel you really need medical help then just sack up and take the shame and judgment. If he tells you to basically just hurry up and die, then fuck him, find another doctor who's willing to help.

Same. The last time I genuinely tried to give up drinking was when I had a steady GF about a year ago. The relationship went south and I lost my reason to get sober. I've come to terms with the fact that everything I enjoy is apparently bad for me, but it's better a slow death than unending misery. The gout fucking sucked though. Now I have to try and balance what makes me less unhappy with how much it's going to suck if I have another attack.

Help me. Anyone.

Its 2:07 AM and I gotta get to work in a few hours

I only have one bottle (375 ml) of vodka left and im freaking the fuck out cause it wont get me through the day

Basically I had about 30 drinks yesterday, most of which were on the toilet at the mall. I know I fell into at least one snow bank.

I want off this ride so bad. I feel like crying. At least I didnt piss in my girlfriends bed

youtu.be/CrTlI6seM0A

How the fuck do you people get and keep girlfriends?

I dress at least somewhat well and spam the fuck out of girls on pof.

Its a numbers game. Im not that good looking. 27 user banging a 22 year old.

go to sleep asap
i kknwo you wont be able to
call un sick RIGHT THE FUCK NOW while you pour out the rest/chug the res tof yhour booze
the most importatnt thing is to stop

I cant call in sick. I took too much time off (over a month) due to a family emergency. I went on a MASSIVE bender and went to detox twice. This was 5 months ago. Ive managed something like 15 days sober since

AA didnt help, i dont wanna go back on benzos either

Basically Id rather be dead

I can't do anything like that because I'm fat.
I do have a good friend who will fuk with me but we live far apart and we're not in an official relationship.

>spam the fuck out of girls on pof
What do you say to them? I have been considering doing this too, lots of really cute ones on there it seems

Anything. Troll them slightly, you gotta stand out from the other bros

Or sometimes I just say "cute!"

If i really think theyre cute but they dont respond ill say "oops i meant to message someone else"

Or ask them for pics without photoshop

Lose weight fat user. Im a drunk bulimic.

I dont suggest it

My alcoholic sister has pancreatitis, gallbladder removed, and recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
For your own sake, get yourself off the sauce and stop binge drinking.
You're not invincible in your 20s
You don't want to be on the brink of death in your 30s

Fuck man, sorry to hear that.

How old is she and how much does she drink?

37, not sure exactly how much, got drunk every day
Pulled out a dozen empty fifths when we found out

I got dropped from my classes
its really not that big of a deal I just attend community college but still bums be the fuck out. I just got so stressed and couldnt do it anymore. Quit alcohol for 2 weeks after but it was calling me tonight
I feel great.
Tomorrow is going to be hell but honestly this is the first content feeling i've had in these two weeks.

Hey man dropped out of college to go on a bender and started sleeping in my car.

You're not alone user

/talking to myself now

YOU DONT GET ME DRUNK ANYMORE FUCK. FUCK.

I've always kind of avoided alcohol, mostly because I don't like beer.

What should I drink to forget?

you dont drink beer to forget
you drink hard shitty alcohol to forget. go and get yourself a really shitty really cheap handle of vodka its like 10 bucks.
chase that with some soda or something
join us

K so I'm on the run from the police. 2 weeks so far. A 12yo boy trod dogshit into my house so I apparently beat the crap out of him and rubbed his face in the shit.
Thinking should try harder to stop drinking sometime soon.

how did you figure out you're on the run? kekkles

Careful with that edge, son.

canada

always wonder the exact details of how when i watch this
also his brother looks like a big gay

i should clarify, i think you might be able to get a psych if you pay, but for a free one you have to wait like 4-6months sometimes.

if you're in crisis you have to go strait tothe hospital

i work as a custodian and hate physical labour
i do this work b/c im a drunk and too nervous to do anything else.

What is the minimum someone has to stay healthy and sober before you can see what life is like without drinking? I want to give it one more try before i give in and drink to death or w/e

Dude im drinking on the toilet at work and you make no sense

>He fell for the LSD is harnless meme
Enjoy your flashbacks faggot

National healthcare, not even once

where do you work? how much are you drinking?
t. drank at bathroom at uni

Haha I used to do this shit all the time at work. Sneak two tall cans in my coat pockets and just chill on my phone. Good times.

fucking richard kutney

8Mechanic

Usually half a fifth deep before work. Work starts at 730

>went to a dinner party last night
>normally have a few drinks to loosen up, always have a good time
>this time the host has no booze of any kind
>can't stand the people i normally like sober
>leave halfway through
Plus the food gave me the shits as soon as i was done eating it.

Medfag reporting.

If I access any of you guys, I'll tell you straight the fuck up what's wrong with you, and how you could probably slow down and/or fix it.
Fuck "moralization", you either man the fuck up and fix your issues, or don't.

Hi, my name's Paul and...... I'm an alcoholic

I have a few alcoholic and cokehead friends.

Glad weed is my vice desu.
Couldn't deal with feeling like shit all the time i'm not intoxicated a little

Why is alcohol so god damn expensive in Canada? When I hear Americans talk about $10 handles of shitty vodka I get jealous.

fuck that looks comfy.
If there were no insex I would sleep outdoors like this.
(had a bad insex experience once)

I managed to cut out all hard booze. Haven't had anything stronger than beer in 8 months. I drink 6-9 beers a night so I'm still fucked but at least i don't get blackout drunk anymore.

Bad, I quit drinking weeks ago and currently on my last semester of college down the street from my house (so living there) and my psychologically abusive alcoholic father lost his job after 30 years to a second dui since my mom died a few years ago. Last night he got hysterical about "my generation", Trump, and how I'm fucking stupid and such but I had enough and poured out what little alcohol he had left for the night. First time he ever attempted to physically assault me and I attempted to sweep him off his feet and shove him off until the fourth hit at my head and decked him on his ass. I've never punched anyone before let alone my family. My siblings and I are going to attempt an intervention tomorrow and we're going to have to make him choose the drink (which also killed my mom) or us.

Feels bad man.

Mosquito netting, man.

Mcdonalds drinker here

Yup, $50 a day gets expensive very fast

I feel so sad for this guy and his family every time I watch this. Except for his brother, fuck that smug fucking cunt.

>evening shift got cancelled
>have no beer
>only one bottle of white wine in the fridge
>mfw

taxes
gotta pay for that socialism somehow

amazon.ca/dp/B00QM4MVC8

at any rate, started to effect my platelet levels recently, hopefully the 3 weeks of sobriety have given them some recovery time :^)

buddy i'm dependent on weed and i feel like fucking dying whenever i'm not high, get your smug shit out of here

cause the moosefugging commie gubmint taxes the shit out of hootch to pay for your commie healthcare, that's why a case of beer costs 50 bucks :D if i lived up there i'd be making my own moonshine :D

I HAD WHAT I CONSIDER A BOTTOM OF THE BARREL MOMENT LAST WEEKEND IN VEGAS. IT CONSISTED OF A THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF BOOZE/GAMBLING/WHORES ALL FLUSHED DOWN THE DRAIN. BAD DECISIONS WERE MADE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET IT.

I HAVENT HAD A DROP SINCE. I HAD SOMETHING OF AN EPIPHANY AFTER I FELL OFF THE DEEP END. IV'E BEEN HITTING THE GYM EVERYDAY AND FEELING BETTER EVER SINCE. I HAVE NO DESIRE TO TOUCH THE SAUCE ANY TIME SOON.

would 18 beers a day be considered a drinking problem? asking for a friend

That's about the equivalent of drinking a fifth of liquor a day. You decide.

That kind of drinking landed me in detox

you can step your game up a bit

2oz of gin (beefeater and tanqueray 10 are solid) 2 oz of your favourite soda water (perrier and san pellegrino are good) and 2 oz of tonic water in that order into a tumbler with ice

garnish with 2-3 slices of cucumber

its pretty tasty and very easy to make, i usually drink those when i am too lazy to go buy more beer

As always. Depressed with a bottle of my favourite whiskey.
What are you guys drinking tonight?

meh i guess

4-5 years ago i drank only lightly, lifted 3-4 times a week, ate healthy if not as frequently as i should have

gf left and a bunch of shit luck happened and i did the whole boo hoo poor me thing for a few years before managing to climb up to a more or less okay state

wouldnt call myself an alcoholic but im defo a heavy drinker now, dont gym any more and im basically just maintaining "normal" skinnyfat by eating little to no junk and skipping meals occasionally

the only times i dont have 4-5 drinks is weekends (when i have ~12) or days when im really hungover and even most of the time ill feel up to having a drink or two later than evening

like a lot of other anons here i wish i could cut down on the drink (blackouts becoming more frequent) and go back to the gym and shit but i can help feeling like it'd be pointless and id just be giving up something i enjoy doing

my life is mostly in order though, have a few close friends, family who loves me, decent job and renting my own place so i suppose i cant really complain

how bout you op?

Look at the bright side of it. At least you will never experience catastrophic food poisoning.

I used to enjoy drinking alone at home.
When I try to do it now I may have 3-4 drinks then I give up.
I don't think I can drink like I used to anymore.

jesus fuck bro
I'm curious, how the fuck do you even manage to down 18 beers a day?
Max I could do was 12, and now I get drunk off whiskey and other hard liquors instead.

That's a lot of booze for very little alcohol.

18 beers over a day.
doable.

Can't keep food down. Surviving solely on calories in alcohol,. Can't go on like this

Last xmas I drank 54 light beers over 48 hrs. Now.i do 3-5 bottles of vodka daily.

hi paul

guys i have only been drinking today its 1pm i think if i continue to tomorrow i will get kicked out of my house not sure how to deal
who should i kill first

i used to do 9-10 pints a night after work, go home eat dinner, then go to work next day and did ok
its all slowly ramping up tolerances
nowadays i do 2 nights a week and 3 pints max then think NOPE, not going that route again
then i go home and cry

>tfw beer wasn't drinking you drunk fast enough

I have discovered recently that if I push passed 10pm without alcohol the desire for alcohol is overtaken by the desire to sleep.

I don't have to drink a drop during the day and I am a well functioning human being but as soon as it hits 4:00pm the desire kicks in hard. And then until the next morning I am fucking blitzed.

My step brother and I once cleared out 2 cases (48 beers) in a 9 hour window.

I drink at least 8 a night but I am getting annoyed at myself because it is damn expensive even when you buy beer wholesale.

I have a hard time gauging how fucked I am. I typically drink 2.5 to 3 litres of whiskey a week, with the occasional sober week once every month or two. Been doing this for 4 years and am now just feeling sore after every weekend and feel I need to stop.

Has anyone ever tried Kratom? Its still legal and seems like it might be a healthier alternative to get a little buzz, but i don't want to spend 40 dollars on some if its just some homeopathic bs.

think youve had enough there mate

thank i wish my GP would have been blunt and just called me fat when i was a teen

Yeah it's pretty bad. Not having to pay for medicine doesn't change its availability so instead you have waiting lists. Ideally people in front of you die waiting for medical treatment and you get pushed up.

recently realized the only way forward is 100% sobriety. that includes coffee, its still a drug and artificial mood booster and stimulant. that also includes unneeded and excess sugar, sugar is a drug and actually really bad for you. im on day 2 of no drugs of any sort and feel alot better. surprised how much better i feel from just the coffee alone. thankfully i dont have a job right now and can just focus on running on my treadmill for cardio and doing weights. feels pretty good man

flashbacks of quitting drinking?

>medfag
>access any of you guys

NTS: Don't go to a medfag who thinks "assess" is spelled "access".

>he fell for the Art Linkletter/Nancy Reagan LSD flashback bullshit.

Enjoy your gullibility, Cletus.

I didnt want to drink today but im back on the toilet at the shopping mall to drink before I go home

I hate myself

Lost my job a couple weeks ago, been binge drinking like hell, throwing my around like I don't care, bought some video games, watched some shitty movies, and it's all so boring.
I just wanna drink.
I cook breakfast every morning to cure the hangover, getting better at making my cheese omelettes.

Man, my body hurts.
I think after 7 years of drinking nearly every single night of my entire life, it's finally catching up to me.
Heart hurts and my insides burn.
