There's always a drinking thread of lost souls wanting to wallow in their alcoholism let's have a thread about people...

Day 4 here
Its hard but I am slowly reducing my weekly alcohol consumption

I consume water and green tea since I quit drinking alcohol

It's a fair question. It's quite simple, really. I had to win. You see, user, I had made winning my whole life, and when you make winning your whole life, you have to keep on winning, no matter what. Understand?

respect for the john candy quote, but you are still a horrible tripfag and you should leave.

It's been like 3 weeks for me. I've been on and off regarding drinking since the end of November. Before that, I was drinking practically every day. Then I got down to binge drinking like once every week or every other week.

Sometimes I crave it, but I'm getting into some old and new hobbies to pass the time and that's helped me out.

Sober for 10 days now after drinking heavily every night for the last few years. I've been listening to the audiobook of pic related during my commute and I'm almost halfway through it. It is definitely making alcohol less appealing and I haven't really had much trouble avoiding drinking the last few days. Going out with some friends tonight though, so that might be a real test for me.

Does this just touch on alcohol, or can this book help with other addictions? I'm trying to cut out my internet addiction next.

So far it is mostly focused on alcohol rather than addiction in general. I don't think much of what I have read/heard so far would translate that directly to other addictions.

that was random.

no... it is the trains planes and automobles speech.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out anyways. Thanks user.

Im 19, i spent the past two years living in Germany where the drinking age is 16 and oh boy I wasnt surprised when my doctor told me my liver is only functioning at 60% right now. Get some weed and smoke a blunt, fuck alcohol.

I used to get blackout drunk every night. From about age 22-26. Not good.
Now I drink maybe once a month. I lost a lot of weight, I feel better, it’s nice. You can do it too.

Holy shit, how much were you drinking a day?

I've been drinking 2 bottles of wine every single night for years and years, probably close to 10. I only drink a couple nights a week now though, I found Champix for quitting smoking had the added effect of significantly reducing my desire to drink, it also made it not as fun when I did.
I never had any withdrawal symptoms, despite common wisdom being that I should have omg DT'd myself off the map. Life is better without the booze, I just wish I hadn't backed myself into this corner where now I can't enjoy it like a normal person.

Quit drinking for a year, get your diet right, and go to the gym.

It won't fix your life but you'll look and feel much much better. Just the quality of sleep you'll enjoy is worth the effort.

Op here my last drink was on May 2
Last year I went to a bunch of AA meetings saw a therapist once a week for a couple months I feel so much better only problem is I started eating like shit and craving ice cream almost every night put on 25 pounds over the last nine months but I'm eating healthier so to fix that issue
Thanks for reading my super gay blog
PS I was an alcoholic for 15 years in case you guys were wondering

/soc/

The al/ck/ thread already fucking covers this shit.
You literally do not need to make a sub thread for it.

I wouldn't consider myself an alky, but when I do actually drink, I hit it hard. Usually only once a week, I get absolutely blackout obliterated, and spend the entire next day dry heaving and shaking.

A few days after my last bender this past weekend, I woke up in the middle of the night with tightness in my chest. I went back to sleep, and when I woke up for work, my heart was definitely fluttering pretty severely.

My gf's father is luckily a cardiologist, and ran an EKG on me. It looks like I have some kind of atrial fibrillation, so it looks like my dumb lifestyle is catching up with me. I want to sit and watch the rain and have a cig so bad, but I really think it might make me faint right now, I feel so weak.

I'm hoping I can at least find a point where I can drink/smoke again, even if it is just in moderation.

shh he's just trying to shill his ebook

You are an alcoholic.

Literally lmao-ing at the lives of all these recovery fags. You know you want to drink? So why not have one? I'm drinking now and I'll be perfectly fine at work tomorrow. Know why? Cause I'm not some weak willed faggot like all of you lol

Fucking based. You could fuck my pussy if I had one, dude.

>light beer

I stopped drinking wine this year. I've been drinking wine since around 2011. I'd go through at least a bottle a day. I figured enough was enough cause I kept feeling exhausted as fuck for no real reason every day. On my nights off from work all I'd do is sleep and sleep some more. I used to stay up and feel energetic.

I drink beer now. But the Bud Light Clamato beer. Not anything else. I'll have a can or two a day to feel a nice buzz after work. I can't imagine life without that relaxing buzz from a drink every now and again.

beat me to it
shh, let him feel like a big man.

getting there. got it down to once a week at most; already lost a solid 10 pounds, I can think more clearly, and my memory has improved considerably (my Anki reps have gotten better)

I'm a drunk. Was in and out of AA starting in 2010. Been sober since October 2015.
Finally quit the cannabis recently too.
Now I like herbal teas and sparkling water when I don't drink regular water.

You're a fucking retard, my man.

Great work user.
I managed to quit for ten days, but drank 4 bottles of wine yesterday.
My flat ‘mate’ saw me quitting and suddenly giftedme an expensive bottle of spirits on day 10. I turned it down but it got alcohol back on my mind.
Back to day one. I have to do this. I drink so hard it is quickly killing me.

I haven't had a drink since new years eve because a spotify ad told me I'm "Kicking ass" and I beat up a random stranger who wanted to bum a cigarette off me and I had no memory of that. Anyway, I feel great but I've started drinking a lot of coke yet I'm losing a lot of weight.

Get back with us when that pussy beer turns into a handle of cheap vodka.

just put the fucking bottle down you babies

>haha i'm 19 and never had WDs

710 days sober. The liquor can suck it. Was about to lose everything, finally realized I couldn't quit on my own, came to terms with the fact that I cannot drink any more, went to rehab, came back to life, wa la.

really congrats dude.

most of the people on here are like
>I'm 2 weeks sober, I dunno how I ever drank!

710 days is truly a mighty deed. Good job. I'm on day 1 after sort of tapering off and I feel like ass.

Thanks. I got really fucking tired of going through withdrawals

That's not even beer faggot might as well be drinking Odouls

>alcoholics can get rehab
>drug addicts can get rehab
>even smokers can get rehab
>porn and fap addicts? lol no rehab, you're on your own pleb
do jews really want us to stay addicted to degeneracy?

Rehab was really just a way for me to get out of my current repetitive situation and talk to people (addictions usually have other underlying issues). I had already decided I had to quit, I just needed to get out of the slump initially. It's not some magic cure-all. I mean, it's only a month or whatever, you have to do the rest

A working man should have his beer fit with manliness, not this shitty pussy beer

Has any of you started having erection problems from drinking?

Nope. I can bone for hours if i'm drunk and then when hungover I'm horny as fuck because my brain is trying to recover all that lost dopamine.

Me too, but I recently started to loose erection during fucking. I drink 0.5l of vodka a day. But than again I am stressed & loose focus.

>fuck your liver up
>fuck that! I’m gonna fuck up my lungs and hormonal balance instead!

>working
>man
Consensual slavery is antithetical to masculinity, but you sound to be long way from understanding this.

You can do it, Ivan. You can make dick work strong like grandfather in wheat fields under communisms.

>needing rehab for jerking off too much
lmao, seriously? how often do you spank it?

for an alcoholic, smoking weed is pretty much unambiguously a better idea than drinking. nobody's woken up face down in a ditch with piss-stained jeans from smoking one too many joints.

it's better, but most alc's i know, myself included, can't tolerate it sober.

It's just panic-attack city.

>not getting stoned all day and then shifting into drinking by mid afternoon

If I'm drunk enough to lose my boner, the orgasm wouldn't be worth the effort, anyway. Rock hard random boners for a day or two whenever I manage to stay dry, though.

Yea i stopped. But god damn id like a beer right now. That wouldnt end well though

You say that, but weed can drastically affect your moods in a bad way, similarly to alcohol, both when intoxicated and messing with hormonal production when no intoxication is present. Depression and manic shit is not helped by weed in the long run at all. It exacerbates and may even initiate. I mean, if you function better on weed than booze, sure, I can cede that point, but it will fuck you up in much the same way over time. Professional help and rehab type of stuff should be the most pressing goal for real functionality the fastest.

wds are the worst

I stopped in August when going on birth control made drinking unbearable. I didn't want to stop, except I did want to stop, anyway I had to change my mind and figure out what to do with my evenings instead of drinking.

I bet some people could get the same effect if they went on antabuse, because that also makes drinking intolerable. But perhaps it was just the right push at the right time

I used diet coke for a while, now la croix, rosewater, green tea, etc...

there's some interesting drinks out there that aren't alcohol

>he doesn't even drink steel reserve or heaven hill vodka

Day 4, getting really hot and sweaty at times and sweating more when i'm sleeping. Can't really sleep that well, and my mind is constantly giving me the urge to buy some rum or weed. But i think if i take it one day at a time, there will be a day where it gets easy.

Now focussing on feeling a little better, gonna start running and eating healthier. Already drinking alot of water. Who knows..

>Stop drinking.
For what purpose? I use alcohol medicinally as it should be.

Get killed

Doctor Who sucks

Great to know. Fuck off

why did the bc make it unbearable? what bc method are you on?

That guy isn't an alcoholic. He still uses wineglasses. And has the money for expensive haircuts.

>Enjoying doctor bong.
Kek.

53 days sober, still feel like shit.

This Naked Mind is just a repackaged "Easy Way to Stop Drinking." I remember flipping to the end notes occasionally, and they read like this for most of the book:
17. Carr, Allen
18. Id.
19. Id.
20. Smith, Jane
21. Carr, Allen
22. Id.
23. Id.
...

Longer than I've ever gone. Well done!

maybe I like being an alcoholic?! Fuck you op!

>17. Carr, Allen
reminded me of the time the other one dressed up as a turkey and had Ramsay stuff him.
Probably not the same one, eh?

Gays have to be stopped.

Alan Carr is far less of an obnoxious faggot than you.

Fuck off, Chop.

Not an argument

>Veeky Forums reduced to 2 namefags screaming at each other
The absolute state of this sub ledddit

FUCK OFF CHOP

Let's all take a moment to lament the death of this thread about problem drinking.
Veeky Forums will never have another one I'm sure.

Good job from you commenting on it instead of just posting something on topic, by the way. You're truly the hero this board deserves.

Not the same Carr.

Not an appropriate topic for this board. This is a board for consumption, not life choices.

>the other one

Thank you so much for clearing that up, you fucking idiot.

Thanks man I tried a hundred times before and could barely break a four day sober streak but this time it finally stuck so keep trying brotha

Drinking was destroying my life. I was shitting eight to ten times a day, my throat burned all day every day from acid reflux, I couldn't drink more than two drinks without vomiting, but I would still drink a fifth of Aristocrat a day then go to the bar at night. I stunk all the time, I was bloated and fat, and I never had a spare dollar. My apartment was carpeted in dirty clothes and empty liquor bottles. I didn't have a shower curtain, and I sold my television and all but one pair of shoes for booze money. Then I started vomiting blood. Then I lost every friend I had. You can beat it, bros. You are never going to be the same person again, and people will always be wary around you, casting eyes and treating you like circus fare, but you can beat it.

>lmao, seriously? how often do you spank it?
sometimes i edge for the whole day and feel like committing suicide afterwards. if that is not obsessive addiction then i don't know what is.

shit looks pathetic, it is even embarrassing to read. i want tripfags out of my Veeky Forums

>tfw
>dont want to masterbate
>do it anyway
>i jack to the point where im about to cum
>blue ball myself
>feel like a champ for not cumming and the urge is gone
This is the only solution user

When did carter come to Veeky Forums?

i have crippling alcoholism and i have to drive to the dentist in a few hours to get a tooth fixed

I haven't been to the dentist in 13 years. Can't help you there.
