I've been dry for four months now since I started lifting and looking at my gains from auschwitz mode really motivate me, but I can't stop this craving for some liquor, at times I feel like I'm hyperventilating and the only thing that can calm me down is some booze.
I used to drink four bottles a week until I went cold turkey and started lifting.
I work out six days a week, would it be okay to drink a little on my day off or would it kill any gains I made that week?
You'll make gains slower but it's fine. Just track macros. Gona get some gin now.
Benjamin Evans
Bro stay off if it. For God's sakes man.
James Diaz
Beer is high in calories, perfect for bulking
Jordan Cruz
don't listen to him do you really think that there is such a thing as "drink a little"? don't fool yourself. it starts with a small beer before you go to bed and ends with 4 bottles a week. there is a reason why you want to numb yourself. find it. try to improve yourself and keep yourself busy with stuff. learn meditation, stop fapping, stop using the internet like a drug or whatever... just keep improving. it will be a long struggle but you can and will do it. you quit drinking man! that'S something to be god damn proud of. so many people try and fail. stay strong brother
Ian Rodriguez
Just dont drink too much o-ok
Grayson Long
Awesome words, not Op but thanks.
Levi Rivera
You shouldn't ever drink if you're that addicted to it. These people telling you it's okay to drink occasionally are fucking idiots who fail to see that you obviously have a problem. If you have a history of alcoholism you'll never be able to enjoy it in moderation, no one ever is. You'll fix the cravings by staying off the stuff and learning to live without it.
You know full well alcohol is the cause of your problems, the reason you feel these cravings to begin with. You know it's fucking stupid to think drinking alcohol is going to make it better.
Parker Robinson
This man.
Maybe someday you can drink again but OP, you have a fucking problem. Stay away from it until you can live without it.
Carson Harris
>dry for *four* months >I used to drink four bottles a week
user, what do you think alcohol is?
Cooper Taylor
ta for the inspiration x
Andrew Roberts

>live in such a weird society/civilization >where the abundance of something is so common, that its actually being the problem of a person >when in these millions of years, scarcity was actually common and the fight for food was considered to be normal >novel thoughts/idea's/problems like this arise
In context to the old, op and his likeminded people seem quite weird.
All you have to do is literally just not consume it.
>drink only water >never even smoke,drink or use drugs >feel no necessity to even be addicted to sugary things like 80% of the population.
and I no longer have empathy for things like op, since I cannot comprehend it how their mind works.
Jeremiah Johnson
Op, there is no shame in going to AA. Seriously, if you have a problem with drinking, it's much better to have people around to help you
Liam Scott
WHO GETTING PISSED TONIGHT?
WHILE OP IS FIGHTING HIS ALCHOLISM I WILL GETTING FUCKING PISSED ON MY OWN THEN RETURNING TO A WEEK OF NO ALCOHOL BECAUSE IM NOT DEPENDENT ON IT
Jackson Evans
why though? Why is there a need to "get pissed"? I dont get this cultural thing.
Landon Sullivan
>advocating no fap as improvement
Opinion discarded.
Alexander Rogers
It's fun.
Kayden Allen
AFTER A LONG WEEK OF GYM I WILL BE GETTING PISSED THEN LISTENING TO MUSIC WHILST LOOKING INTO THE MIRROR AND REALIZING HOW PISSED I AM AND QUESTIONING "HOW AM I SO PISSED" THEN PROBABLY JERKING OFF THEN FALLING ASLEEP
Dylan Sanchez
>getting pissed on a Sunday night 265

Having your brain being slugging near people is fun? Your brain being sluggish in general is fun? Why though?
Anthony James
>tfw drunk everyday
Alcohols ruined my life brahs, made me fat and lose friends

>Guy wants to stop >Guy is hyperventilating and believes he needs to drink >He doesn't have a problem with it
Okay amigo. Everybody at AA woke up in the middle of a ditch with AIDS, right?
Samuel White
Have you ever been drunk? That would answer your question.
Samuel Anderson
yes I have been, and it has not been fun. Being slow does not mean that life is better in any way.
Aaron Cooper
It's very fun and you clearly never drank with friends
Ethan Bennett
>caring what day or time it is
kek I get drunk at 10 am on Sundays sometimes
Camden Robinson
All in moderation OP
Thomas Brooks
Its whats the leftists would call a "social construct", you only believe it to be fun because everyone is doing it.
If you remain a bitter person who is very strict of himself during it, it wont change him. Like it happened with me. I stopped drinking because it did not change my nature. It had literally zero effect on my social ability or personality while surrounded by others.
Chase Phillips
This
Drinking on weekends is fine but everyday for no reason is an alcohol problem
Michael Bailey
You clearly didn't drink enough, when I get drunk I'm very social and up for doing just about anything
Jaxon Collins
Kek whatever you say bro. Almost every human on earth and many bears disagree.
Oh I see, you're a contrary an /pol/tard. That makes sense.
Thomas White
even piss drunk when I walk weird I can still retain control of myself, and still dont become nicer or kinder. I kinda still remain the same.
Luke Ramirez
That's your opinion. Almost every normal person would disagree with you.
Jonathan Davis
Yeah I'm an alcoholicand can confirm this, the problem starts when you drink whenever you're bored just for the hell of it than over time you can't enjoy anything without being drunk
Justin Moore
I rather think that you guys are the weird ones for liking this piss, slow maker really.
>popularity fallacy
Doesnt really change the fact that there is also a 70% and higher obesity/overweight thing, when 100 years ago there was none.
Popularity anything does not matter even a little bit in our modern, and weird age. Civil war, nuclear strife or anything breaks out and you guys are out of booze, doing the food scavenging again, a thing that you did for millions of years in similar forms.
Forget alcohol then.
Thomas Turner
Autism confirmed
Isaac Nguyen
Lol people drink out of boredom m8 if civil war or some shit broke out you wouldn't even think of alcohol even if you were a heavy drinker
Jackson Bailey
>implying it's the popularity fallacy when humans have been drinking alcohol for millenia and it's thought to be the reason we ever created agriculture >implying that humans won't find a way to get a hold of alcohol in just about any situation in history
Fucking kek. Yeah it's not you that's wrong, it's all of humanity!
Gavin Torres
>muh infallible culture/civilization >not realizing that its barely 100 years old in this form, even less for its abundance of foodstuffs like alcohol.
Daniel Cooper
Four bottles a week.. You mean 4 liters, right? Because if you mean 4 individual beers, KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT
Lincoln Sullivan
Does a small or even large amount of alcohol per week affect gains in any way other than your macros/calories consumed?
>muh "id rather consume thing X which causes horribly death Y, than to live naturally"
Carson Bennett
...
Evan Campbell
Pretty sure he means 4 liters of liquor and not 4 bottles of beer or something
Nobody craves alcohol unless they're physically addicted and 4 bottles of beer a week won't do shit
Anthony James
binge drinking sucks, fuck alcohol except for small amounts way better drugs around than that shit
Joseph Morris
Small amounts doesn't do shit you gotta get hammered to enjoy it
Ryan Walker
drinking isn't too bad. it's bad for your gains but otherwise you need to have control of it
i'll just never do it alone. that's too sad for me and that seems to be where drinking problems come from. also stay sober at random events so you don't lose the ability to socialize sober
Easton Gray
I like drinking outside in the sun you don't notice shit until you stand up and have to get home a night out on stimulants is just way better though
Jaxson Ross
I can confirm the issues start when you begin to drink alone at home, it escalated quick to getting drunk everyday by myself and whenever I went out with friends I'd get completely wasted
Isaiah Howard
So it increases your risk by 5%? If the risk is 1% it is now 1.05%? That doesn't seem all that significant to be honest, I read the association between smoking cigarettes is like 13 times, 1300% the risk for the disease.
Daniel Walker
You never know bro. There's some pretty autistic people on here. I've never heard someone refer to a fifth as a bottle.
Op, I drank .5-1.0L a day for decades. Been sober for 1.5 years. It gets easier, especially after a year. Its just a bad habit you need to break. Whatever you do, don't let your mind dwell on craving it. Interrupt bad thought patterns. Go outside. Watch a movie. Play a game. Do cardio.
Cooper Jenkins
>Op, I drank .5-1.0L a day Of what?
Blake Harris
Turn it into a fitness addiction it's better than alcohol
Joshua Perez
>I've never heard someone refer to a fifth as a bottle.
I've always found "a fifth" to be an extremely annoying measure. I only recently figured out that people mean a 750mL bottle because it's approximately 1/5 of a gallon. I mean, how fucking obtuse can one get? Let's buy alcohol in the US, but instead of a simple quart, we'll but 750mL. And instead of calling it what it is, 750mL, we'll refer to it as what it APPROXIMATELY is, one fifth of a gallon. But we'll leave off the gallon.
That's like asking how far is it from Seattle to Portland and answering "a sixth" because it's around one sixth of the distance from Seattle to Los Angeles.
So yeah, saying "x bottles per week" generally makes more sense, in my opinion.
Michael Brooks
nofap only works if you have sex regularly, otherwise is shit, noporn on the other hand is great regardless.
