When did you give up hope, edition

Feel free to also post about whatever the pit you're doing right now on the condition that you be incredibly drunk

t. doing sudokus right now and listening to shitty tunes

Does anyone have to hide the fact that they drink so heavily from a gf? It's making me question my allegiances but I'm pretty sure keeping up appearances is the only thing keeping me from full on bottoming out.

Made it 3 days sober, bought a bottle of vodka for no real reason, didn't even crave the booze or anything.
Drank the whole liter, wound up on the floor sobbing and slamming my head into the ground, woke up naked in my kitchen with my legs covered in cuts.

Guess I'll go back to trying to sober up.

I keep making it through my withdrawals and then convincing myself that I can "just have two beers" which initiates a three day bender. I want to stop too.

I drink 3-6 beers and 2-4 shots every day. Am I an alcoholic? But I also have days ever other week were I don't drink at all, and it doesn't give me any withdrawel.
Drinking just makes my evenings so much more enjoyable. Can't have fun and relax without it.
Am I just overly worried, or is this dangerous?

My wife knows I have an unhealthy relationship with booze and really understands it, because she has her own problems with addiction. I still try to hide it, because I just feel ashamed.
Do you really think she would dump you if you told her you got problems? If so, do you think she would do it because of selfish desires or she could really just couldn't handle it on a psychological level. If it's the latter, seek help somewhere else and tell her if you think you making serious progress. If not, she's a bitch and you should seek a better gf.

That's pretty much your standard alcoholism, yeah.

The first two days were the worst, the third day I actually felt breddy gud and was productive, doing a lot of shit, cooked for myself, cleaned up.
I fucking hate trying to sleep sober though, I get these bizarre dreams and never feel like I properly fall asleep

>never feel like I properly fall asleep
literally same here. i used to love taking afternoon naps during the weekend but now i can't do it without 5 beers minimum. sometimes i'll include wine and rakia too. and whenever i'm sober i always have this sensation of not being properly asleep. the "naps" while sober also never last more than 40 minutes-hour, whereas before they'd be 2-3 hours long.

so far this only applies to the afternoon naps, but i'm afraid it might start affecting night time sleep too.

Dude, on top of the sweating/freezing bouts and all the restlessness having absolutely batshit dreams when you finally sleep makes it so unrewarding. I want to know if it ends.

She's seen me kick an insane opioid habit before so that answers that she is a keeper, thanks. I think I'm probably just afraid of the confrontation/ like booze too much. I need to stop being such a fag, hah.

I feel sick but im gonna keep drinking because it feels better than being sober. Kill me. not even an alcoholic but this is the only place to blog about it

hope you're all doing reasonably well.

Been sober for awhile now but the only thing that keeps me sane lately is the knowledge that some day i can retire and make my own wine and drink myself to death in a fugging trailor park lmao :D

It numbs the pain but after I finish this bottle of bourbon I'm done for a while.

she sounds like a good gf. Just try to not let your addiction affect her life to much and work on getting your shit together, at leased for her sake (but also yours)

Stabbed my laptop with a screwdriver.
Don't know why.
Asked a woman to sick my dick.
She wasn't happy.

Guys I think I have to leave.

>I get these bizarre dreams
I hate them but prefer them to the nightmares of withdrawals.
It fades away after a while. They're less vivid and weird at least, once the brain balanced it's chemistry back to normal.
For sleep comes back to "normal", you need to respect regular sleep hygiene for a while, otherwise you'll be "normal insomniac" like many normies.
You're not used to normal, there's that too. Being sober just feels, idk, too sober.

I got some gin for a graduation gift. Would it be a waste to mix it with sprite? It's very smooth. I have no tonic water.

Making it over 5 days has always been so hard for me. The cravings come hard.

Just polished off two beers while reading Whitchfinder, bout to head into Adams Morgan to meet up with some college friends.

Gonna try to not drink too much.

Wish me luck boys

yeah probably a waste

Thoughts on Islay scotch?
I've heard it described as burning tires and gasoline
which is very true and I love it because its punishing
Probably
You can just use it as a cleanser though after eating something spicy. Gin just like vodka at neutralizing mouth aftertaste, but its usually drier which makes it even better after some greasy food.

I just drank 4 ounces of vodka. Ask me anything.

I actually like my nutso dreams when I'm sober. The problem is I can almost never fall asleep at all. I would take the crazy dreams if I could just sleep. Just sleep...

Keep that as the shit you bust out at parties and whatnot. Keep bottom shelf stuff to mix on your own.

Fuck you. I'm just about out of vodka and I'm going to have to go buy 4 locos because the liquor stores are close.

RE4 bro here.
Last night of drinking and I'm going sober.
I'll play some RE4, upload some pictures of my progress for the next couple hours.

Progress report.
Almost on chapter 5, that last chapter.
Inventory looks good.
I'm only like 10 shots in so I shouldn't have too much trouble.

Good luck user

You should just record a play-through and then post it on Youtube. I'd watch it.

Too poor for it.

Stop being a nigger

And sell my games?
That's for niggers

Stop being poor nigger and record ur stupid playthrough so i can watch ur stupid playthrough

Im laffin
Laffin @ u right now

Should I save my money for a video game or should I spend it on booze?

you buy video games

you a bit thick in the head?

Get the game so you can play it while drinking booze in the future.

You're right. I'm going to relapse anyway. Why not make it fun, right?

haha who cares

edgy

he's being a passive aggressive shit. fuck off

It really doesn't matter at all. If you want me to fuck off, just ignore me.

suck my cock dude

after you

The label "alcoholic" is less important than how you feel about your lifestyle. And I don't think there are any tests for alcoholism that involve purely a measure of how much you drink.

Is it interfering with your life in any way? Do you sacrifice other things that are or once were important in order to keep drinking? Have your relationships with family and friends suffered because of your drinking? These are the sorts of questions you should be asking yourself. If the answer is no, no, no, . . . ., then I wouldn't worry about your drinking even though some might consider the amount or frequency of your drinking excessive.

And as far as that goes, 3-6 beers and 2-4 shots every day is a lot, and it will almost certainly cause you health problems later in life (and perhaps sooner), but it's not a downright crazy amount. Maybe try to cut back a little, or incorporate more off days into your drinking schedule.

>had a beer in the morning
>6 hours later still get the shake
pls dont kindle me

I've gradually increased my sober time since late 2015, when I got gout, became very isolated, and started to fear for my sanity. I realized I needed to make some changes fast.

2016 was the first year I had more sober days than drunk days in a decade. 2017 has been even better, with only a couple non-consecutive weeks of drinking, and otherwise I've been sober for months at a time. I've been using antabuse to keep sober, quitting for a week at a time when I want a vacation from sobriety.

My life has gotten a hell of a lot better (financially, socially, etc.), but I can only take antabuse for a few more months, then the doc is cutting me off. I'm going to Mexico in a few weeks, and I'm thinking of drinking while I'm there, but when I get back, I'm staying sober for good. But I said that about a trip I took last month when a friend came to visit me, so am I kidding myself? Should I drink on this upcoming trip?

who os ebtter
drunk batman or blilly jeol?

I only drink beer so I can't be an alcoholic

r-right guys?

Gave up hope around the time I realized it is easier to abandon trying to better your self and abuse drugs/alcohol and drop out of life until no-one is left to give you a second chance. Then just die

lol, I'm in the same boat and used the same rationalization for years

yes you can very much be an alcoholic even if you don't drink liquor

Only if you want to quit, want to stop putting drinking above everything else, but cannot.

Even drinking a lot of liquor doesn't make you an alcoholic as long as you can take it or leave it.

do any of you guys have experience with xanax?

i got a new dealer and he sent me a list of stuff he does and xanax is on there, was wondering if i should try it and see if i can use it to stop drinking so much. i mostly drink because i'm lonely so if it can alleviate that feeling..

sorry it's a bit off topic but i have no one else to ask

Either way you're definitely retarded.

If you are an alcoholic you definitely don't need to get addicted to nerve pills. They are HIGHLY addicting. You can however use them for a few days to help you go to sleep. Just don't mix the xanax with alcohol or you might not wake up.

Guys I'm going to be dead soon.
I mean, really dead. Not 'op is a faggot'-esquie dead.
These threads have helped me a lot.
Get yourselves away from this fucking stupid lifestyle.
Night everyone.

Eh, I don't really want to quit. It's not having any negative effect on my life and in fact it's the best social activity I have these days.

Probably normie then. But that's not a bad thing IRL.

I'm pretty far from a normie. It's only a social activity in that I go to bar trivia with my two remaining friends.

Lmao niggas how is alcoholism ba problem just stop fucking drinking lol

>tell gf you won't drink today
>drink
>mfw

>"I smell booze."
>"FUCK U THARS A TORNADAH"

I'm trying to stay sober this weekend but I'm also marathoning trailer park boys for the nth time and I just realized how bad an idea that is
This show makes me want to get super fucked up
Doesn't help that I'm bored out of my mind because my laptop screen broke and it's at the repair center. Something they said would take 3-5 days but it's been a fucking week and a half fuck those people
I could have ordered a new screen and replaced it in 10 minutes but they're doing it for free
Phone browsing sucks dick yo

I've started drinking really tiny amounts right before I leave for work in the morning. I don't drive or anything for a couple hours after that, so they won't catch me, right?

Hm, depends on how "really tiny" the amounts are. Driving aside, if someone at your work catches a whiff (it's possible to accidentally spill a bit on your shirt and not notice), you could get hemmed up and fired that way. Dunno about how your work is about drug/alcohol testing, but some places will can someone over a .02 BAC.

Have fun finishing off the island dude. I might boot up my copy of RE4 and slay some Ganados after this beer.

Drank 25 Beers yesterday i'm only 65kg so i'm lightweight.

I cant watch mad men because it constantly triggers my need to drink and smoke.

Okay I'm planning to go to my friend's on Sunday night (unless he keeps ignoring me). I have sold him on the idea of trying "bum wines" since we are both unfamiliar with them. We plan to drink them with some friends.

Here's the possible choices:
>Thunderbird (hear it tastes like bleach)
>Cisco (hear it's like liquid crack and has unusual cocaine-like effects)
>Wild Irish Rose (same as above, but easier to find and more like normal wine)
>Night Train Express (similar to Thunderbird)

Have any anons tried these? Are they a cheap way to get drunk or is malt liquor/box wine a better alternative? I'm having trouble finding them. I'll check a wine store tomorrow to see if they have them and I'll probably get laughed at and/or vomited on. If it's anything like the current incarnation of Four Loko I probably don't want to try them. I'm looking for the 17/18% abv varieties. Thoughts?

>I'm looking for the 17/18% abv varieties
what the fuck is wrong with you

They taste like gasoline and have a ton of sugar in them, which for me always ends up in a horrible hangover.

just downed like hslf a quart of smirnoff and accidentaly jacked off to overwatch porn before i realized it wasnt real porn got work in the am cant wait

Liar... that shit turned you on and you fucking liked it

How are the early stages of the warm-up session treating you?

I hide it from my bf. He knows I have a bad relationship with alcohol and have had serious problems with alcoholism in the past but doesn't know just how much I drink on a regular basis.
I can do one day sober, I can do two days sober if I want to, but any longer than that and I start to get itchy and feel restless.

>was listening to some erotic audio
>all of a sudden classical music started playing
well that was fucking kek, fucking spit out the last bit of beer i had left
at least stores open in 3 hours so i can restock

What is the most al/ck/ VN?

Need to go to training for a new job in 7 hours.
Terrible storm outside.
Already took a bit of a nap.
Blood pressures up because I thought I would need to.get into a fistfight with some guy over the internet.
Should I drink.my last 200ml of vodka to go to sleep or save it till after training. Also
>fuck

I live in a constant state of fear and misery

gin on the rocks (gin waters as I like to call them) with some olives.

I think your picture made me sadder than anything. I've been there man. I hope you enjoy eating a few cups of mayonnaise

Katawa Shoujo is a rollercoaster of feels. A bottle for each route.

Playing the Clannad Vn will make you an alcoholic if you aren't already. I spent like a week fucked up after it.

just drank a double of whisky and i'm about to crack open a cold one

>used to get drunk without drinking
Now
>don't get drunk regardless if intake

Fucking tolerence.

me too thanks

Clannad is good but Little Busters is my favourite Key work

I have to drop my car off for a service tomorrow morning. I think if I really work hard now I can pass out in a couple of hours and wake up still drunk, drop my car off and walk home before I'm bed-ridden

I often had plans like yours, that included sleeping at certain time to wake up on time for things.
I always woke up after things were over.

How am I supposed to get rid of withdrawal if I can't stop throwing up? Fucking help

I used to have it prescribed for anxiety. Completely ruined my life and any chance I had for a future and did untold damage to my psyche, my brain and my body. It also has a paradoxical effect in that if you're really angry at something before you take a few you'll actually just become even more furious. Stuff is fucking poison.

why can they smell booze on my breath hours later even after i scrub the shit out of my tongue and use mouthwash ? how else to combat odor?

start smoking

Keep vodka under the tongue. Roll in your mouth with your tongue.
Then see a doctor.

>How do I cheat breathalyser?
You can't, that why the police use that.
You can try to add a strong smell to hide it, but it won't work efficiently.

Please. Please make it stop.

Couldn't help but laugh.

keep deep fried dumplings in your car, the ones made with yeast flour, the make the alizer go off the charts

sober for three days, couldnt cut it anymore as every other time, ive only slept for 4 hours in total last 72. I just need this 12 pack of shit fucking beer and try get some sleep.

cheers

>don't eat for days
>vodka kicking the shit out of me on empty stomach
>find blueberries, forgot I had them
>eat a small handful, force self to swallow
>look back
>they're covered in mould
Welp, so much for that, vomit absolutely everywhere and not a molecule of food for days. Sweet.

with... the boys?

it's in your system, not just on the surface of your mouth. It's in your sweat and in the breath in your lungs.

It's pretty hard to cover up the smell, especialy if you've been drinking liquor. Hand sanitizer, strong gum, don't get too close to anybody face to face.
