kill me

I think the most shameful I pulled was when I was at the cinema and told my girlfriend I had to use the bathroom

And instead of using the bathroom I walked to the car in the rain to down some vodka

Why is vodka always the common drink in these stories?

Cause it's cheap.

Why drinking when you can take a shitload of benzos or SSRIs ? What i mean by that is if you drink to forget / cope with a situation there's better "tools" out there to achieve that.

because alcohol is more available and inexpensive

I've been through opiate withdrawl and I don't want to experience benzo withdrawl

>not using all 3 simultaneously
Benzos + booze is a glorious mix. That's proper blackout serum, with added choking-to-death-on-vomit goodness, and addiction so extreme you'll want to die anyway.

Legitimate argument i guess.
Benzo withdrawl would be pretty fucking tough if you quit cold turkey after a decade of usage. Opiate would be way more brutal than that.
Heh.

Opiate withdrawal is relatively easy. I was on smack for year, I was on codeine for five years, I went cold turkey from both. I went through a couple of weeks of hell both times, but within a week I began to feel much better and it was all downhill from there. Booze is a looot worse, not to mention a lot more dangerous, and benzos can simply get infinitely fucked to the core.

Has anyone here ever tried AA? I've been mostly drunk for about a decade now, but have no idea if I should quit or just go for the gold.
