I swear, I got a good career, lift every other day, have decent intermediate numbers... but I drink every night. I don't know how to fix it. >inb4 stop drinking
I kid you not, I walk into the gas station, totally sober, know I am going to buy alcholol even though I KNOW I shouldn't and it's bad for me... but I do it anyways and kill a whole 10 beers or whatever I buy. Help lads. Should I go to AA? I know it is killing my gains, I know it is killing my mental health, I know it is actually killing me inside... but fuck.
Anyways, I am close to a 405 squat if that means anything.

Try and taper off drinking by replacing it with other less harmful things like marijuana every once and awhile. You don't need AA man, just don't stick to one thing, especially excessive drinking or your tolerance is gonna get higher and higher and withdrawal will damage your body more if you don't try to start tapering off of it.

Can't smoke weed. I work for the government unfortunately. It's funny because they almost actively endorse drinking, even serve it to you at work. But, God forbid, a guy smoke some grass. Fucking crooks.
I've been trying to taper off with Nyquil. Just trying to knock myself out before I feel the urge to drink. I don't know if that is better or worse... but it didn't work tonight. Thanks for the reply, mate. Here is some insta thot for you.
Josiah Wilson
I hear you, a lot of my friends work government jobs too and are in same position. Pic of girl is much appreciated, it's the thot that counts. Best of luck brother.

how do you even get enough sleep or feel decent at work? i used to kill a sixer a day and thought that was bad. now i just drink on weekends but i'm actually going to quit for a while because i've been getting depressed lately. alcohol is literally retarded, but i still love it.
Gavin Baker
>10 beers Dont you feel like shit in the morning? The thought of drinking again makes me gag the next day.

I know you said not to just tell you to stop, but just stop. I drank a liter of vodka every night, and a handle on Saturday nights then day drank all day Sunday on my one day off. I quit cold turkey for about 3 and a half months and it was enough that now I can drink at my buddies every other Saturday for game night.
Jacob Hernandez
I was drinking every night, from a beer to 4 or 5 mixed drinks. A few weeks ago when I started working out again, I just said, "that's enough for now". When I did buy more beer about a month ago, I had 3 in one night; I felt like complete dogshit the next day. Last night, I had like half a shot of Bourbon. I LOVE Bourbon, but I felt like I really shouldn't have had it.
So I'm teetotaling right now, at least for another month or two, to see how I feel. I do love a good beer or Old Fashioned, so I'll never give up alcohol, but I've got other things to focus on right now.

Just remember that "functioning alcholic" is merely a transitional phase. You can keep it up well into your 30's but you will be a wreck pretty much over night. Just look at the people around you. If you live in a bigger city you can see this "I used to be someone, now I'm just a shadow of my former self" type alcoholics all the time.
