t. former alcoholic, 3 years sober, not 1 drop.

I don't really drink anymore.
The last three times I drank any at all my stomach made me regret it.
Jagermeister was my favorite drink back in the day.

Anyone here drink and game a lot?

I don't myself, but I fancy buying a PS4 but think it might be damaging because i'm in the process of cutting down massively (7 days a week to 2 days)

I don't game without a drink in my hand. That would be silly.

And with the state of today's video games, I don't think I even could without.

Is it possible to be addicted to the act of drinking but not alcohol itself?

I drink pretty heavily and regularly, but only when I go out to the bars. I never drink alone also.

It's just so much fun to be around my friends and people watch and act like a retard and tell funny stories and light smokes for strangers.

I've never had any withdrawl symptoms, or cravings for booze...I just always want the social part that comes with it, even if it means being hungover all the time and spending most of my money on booze.

Not sure I understand, do you mean addicted the feeling of being drunk over liking the drink?

Yeah I play a lot of sudokus when I'm drinking

psychological addiction.

I'm drinking beer.

When I'm done with the beer, I'll go and finish a bottle of wine I've got open.

Baby mama and the baby don't often tend to wake up, thankfully.

I know I'm a lightweight compared to most of you, but I'm worried.

I guess so. I don't really even like alcohol, like the taste or the feeling it gives me. I guess I'm just addicted to the aura and the experience that surrounds it, if that makes sense.

it's a violation of my probation, yet i consume it daily.

>I pray that i dont get egt tested.

>tfw you drink when you're alone because there's nothing better to do
>tfw you drink when you're with friends because you need it to socialise
Anyone else know this feel?

Drinking beer and listening to the Smiths. I don't even like beer but it was cheap and pretty strong (for beer). I don't like the Smiths much either but I'm sad

How did you deal with boredom and wanting to escape from the monotony of life? I have almost a month and it's killing me.

Stop writing baby mama. I'm sick of reading that.

Fine, my wife then, is that okay?

Yeah i think most of us are in that boat tb h, i drink cheap cider and i certainly only like being drunk

>>tfw you drink when you're with friends because you need it to socialise

I know this feel. When I'm sober I feel like I'm socially inept.

Same

i drink to avoid how lonely i am which is pretty inescapable

>not 1 drop
The thing that scares me most about becoming an alcoholic is having to eventually quit for life and never being able to drink again to avoid relapsing. Like I wouldn't mind if I could get to a point where I could enjoy getting drunk occasionally without relying on it but the thought of having to go completely teetotal depresses me

Much better, thanks

I do. I remember I drank a fuck load one time playing the witcher 3. My baby momma and son had gone out of town so I had a lot of free time. I decided to look for all the witcher armour that day. Don't remember getting the last one. Woke up and saw I had them all.

I say baby momma all the time to. But because we're not together haha

witcher 3 would be the game i would want to play the most, it looks amazing but feel i'd really want to drink and id fall into old habits.

last game i bought was GTAV four years ago so i've missed a lot of games.

Oh yeah definetly. Also, people are just generally nicer and more open when drunk.

Been playing BOTW wasted a lot lately, good game for it

though its easy to forget what i was doing just because theres so much to do and you mostly direct yourself

trying hard not to drink today though so i might not play. thatll make two days for me, stay strong bros

>been sober for a few days
>there's a family occasion
>have a toast of champagne
>have another glass of champagne
>have a few beers
>seven beers
>start on the liquor
>pint of liquor later

Tricked again!

>have ulcer
It hurts boys

Do you puke blood m8?

Scare me.

No, at least I don't think so.
I haven't puked since it came back

Haven't had a drink since Saturday, haven't been drunk for like 10 days. I feel okay except for being fucking bored. I guess I'm just boring?

I got so drunk on Sunday that I spent all of Monday vomiting.

I'm kind of craving a drink right now, should I give in or is it too soon?

>have a drink

That sounds so vague. I mean, are you going to have a beer? Or is it bourbon out of the bottle until you're about to gag and have to pull a chaser up?

I'm thinking about making a glass of grog for myself, I hope my drunkedness doesn't snowball into the second thing you described though.

it goes away. get a hobby

I dont really drink much atm, but i should because my life is fucked atm. Business failed, being evicted, and trying to find a job in a restaurant again after 5 years out. so maybe i can get back on my feet. Drinking atm just bums me out.

stop saying atm dude

Lol i did use atm alot, good point. Tha ks for the kind words,needed it atm

Party animal detected

I used to game when drinking. But then my drinking progressed to the point where I was usually too sauced to continue or make sound decisions. Or remember the last half of what I did. Now I have to quit within 2 hours or so of when I start drinking.

get Veeky Forums also spend your money on something you really enjoy doing at least once a week, hang with the boys (i play dnd), bike somewhere, eat a new food, make a new dish, skydive, i workout and now have a kid so theres that too.

some people get into pot, which is something if you are ck might be fun, but i dont like smoke/smells in my house

some people can go limited and just need to dial back, i had a friend that around the time i stopped joined me, he has a beer now and then, but never more, he always has that around company(his wife) so they/she can tell him when to stop, but im also not so sure hes truly independant anymore, he might be relapsing, but he wasn't as bad as me

Yes

Fps games are what I play. Battlegrounds is especially fun solo and even more fun in a squad.

My wife left me. :(

There is nothing finer than Captain Morgan Gold Blend and coke.

Pussy?

No wonder why you guys keep making shitty threads on here. You're all drunk.

The witcher is an amazing game. On my 2nd play through. I only play it drunk when the babies momma is out of town with my son since I can drink openly in my room. She doesn't like me drinking to much. So its not so often ill play it drunk but when I do I can be more lazy while playing it. I think you'll be find playing it. Just have enough in your room the game will keep you pretty distracted imo

>New Amsterdam

>Water, Pizza, Garlic Bread, Orange Juice

>YouTube dunkey, CSGO, ASMR videos

Tomorrow I will smoke the other half of this joint. Since cutting back on weed intake it has been much more fun.

Forgot to mention, I been playing a shitload of Farming Simulator 2017 which, it turns out, is a fucking great game.

so I read on here that the negroni is a nice drink and today I remembered to buy red vermouth and compare so I could try it

the negroni is the worst thing I have ever tasted, it literally tastes like something that fell out of satan's asshole.

to the fucks recommending this drink I hope you get fucking diarrhea and your dick fall's off for wasting my 30 bucks

I just distilled enough booze to kill a goat. You guys all moderating your intake?

Do you guys know what 'low wines' are?

is this noobie alcoholic night?

In WD hard, no money until tomorrow night. Halp

>tfw hit the perfect buzz at the end of the night when its too late

how do I prolong that?

drinking too much early on usually makes me sick

Load some opiods on at the end of the night to kill off any joint pain. In the morning drink enough water to drown a cat.

this will kill you.

so do it.

Yep, eventually. I'm 45 and it refuses to do so yet.. hopefully soon.

you jokers figure anything else out in life?

How healthy is it getting addicted to my Norco prescription to deal with my alcoholism? It stops me from drinking cos it gets me high and helps me sleep through withdrawals. Takes 40mg to fall asleep is that bad?

Its extremely unhealthy, you're doing a lot of damage to your renal system with that.

I currently have my next 5-10 years planned out and am pretty happy lately. The worst thing is that I suffered so much throughout last 2 years and am just not used to being happy and having good things happen to me in life. I don't know, I'm probably a retard for thinking so, but it's just fucking weird.

What are you taking?

I've been on something like 8 different drugs over the past year to deal with alcoholism. (Got back into the kitchen when the withdrawls got minor enough to allow me to drive. Now I'm drinking every night again.)

Got a basic physical/blood/urine test a few weeks ago, and got referred to an abdominal ultrasound and a gastroenterologist...

It takes money to go full al/ck/.

Hard to hold onto a good woman, though.

Uh, all I take is divalproex sodium for bipolar, trazodone for insomnia (doesn't do shit), and Norco (hydrocodone) for chronic pain caused by a genetic disorder. I need to not drink as divalproex and trazodone already REKT livers. My feet got super swollen for like 3 days last time I drank and I got super scared, but apparently my liver is still OK. Weed just doesn't kill the cravings, the hydrocodone do but nothing makes me sleep as good as alchobro.

None of those are specifically for alcoholism.

Was just wondering, because everything I've tried hasn't done shit, aside from turning me into an asshole I don't recognize, and ruined just as many relationships as a decade of heavy drinking.

I'm sure my liver is pretty fucked, but I'm also a hypochondriac (well, I've become one in the past couple years, because there's definitely something wrong with me), and though I've always gotten paranoid with weed, it just doesn't fill the void.

My back started really hurting last night at work (I do bend down a lot), specifically on the right side. I was also tired, sweating, dizzy, and felt nauseated for a couple of hours. Anyone know it that's one of my organs telling me to fuck off, or just working so hard that I remember what being hung over feels like?

Well yeah, I have never been treated for alcoholism or ever admitted it to a shrink. I have only been heavily drinking mid 2016-present. I was implying I abuse CII opiate painkillers.

Ah, I'm drunk.

I focused on the "prescription to deal with my alcoholism" part and skipped over the norco.

Kind of wishing I never went into a doctor's office and said I had alcoholism. Probably going to fuck up any chance of being able to afford treatment at some point in the future.

Been drinking more and more since around 2003, btw. Almost 3 handles of vodka a week, plus a couple beers every night, for probably the past 5 years.

>tfw get home from work, have 7-8 mug vodkas for dinner, then make a spam burger for a 3am snack before passing out and starting over again tomorrow

All the time, especially RPGs because there is an immersion and replay factor. Quite often I play the games multiple time just because I like them and its comfy. When I get too drunk I either come here or watch a film or something.

Favourite games are Witcher 3, Witcher 1, the Elder Scrolls games, and Horizon Zero Dawn. Sometimes Fallout New Vegas too but it is a bit clunky which can be frustrating

oh

hahah

Yeah I'm a real beast

Holy crap, lorazepam helps so much, this is almost easy

I've literally been waiting for one hour for the bar to open doing absolutely nothing but sitting here. I could have left and bought beer but I didn't feel like leaving the house, this is just closer and easier this way.

Just wanna put this little story about my experience with alcoholism here.

I was really bad, to the point I couldn't move in my house without knocking over a piss bottle or stepping in sick I left on the floor. I'd dry myself in piss stained towels after a shower (the only room not burdened with bottles of vodka and mess). I lost my job because I just decided not to go in anymore, I reasoned with myself I have 500 or so in my bank, so that will last me until I sort myself out and find a new job. I spent all of that in 2 weeks on alcohol and other worthless shit.

I hit rock bottom 2 months ago and decided to just quit. It was absolutely the hardest thing I've ever done. During my drinking I'd always think how someone could live sober...everything seemed so boring and pointless without a drink, I couldn't talk to anyone normally without a drink and I thought I was doomed to be constantly drinking for the rest of my life for any sort of joy.

I can tell you guys now, that wares off. I'm 2 months sober and whilst I still don't really enjoy social interaction and talking, it is so much easier for me now, and I have also started listening to music again which I couldn't before.

My mother was my main support. She let me stay at hers whilst I was being sober (still here for now, but looking for work) and she made me stop. There was a few times during the beginning in which I'd sneak some in, but she'd be extra vigilant and make me give it to her. I'm a grown man, but I needed it.

Now I spend at least an hour outside in the sun, take regular walks and only drink water and my body has loved me for it. I feel absolutely amazing and I never thought I could without drink. I say to myself that once I get sorted I may begin again but just as a social thing and never alone again, but I honestly think that is deluding myself and hope I don't start again when I become content with my life.

Long story short...don't be afraid to ask for help, and there is a life without drink.

My kidneys hurt... how long till im liver fail next?

Drink water. It helps.

Yeah, I love playing MTG Online while drinking beer, or any FPS with beer + music is ultimate chillmode.

>shaking even when you're drinking

Capt is straight chemically garbage.

most of you guys don't make your own booze eh?

So you start with a sugar wash. Distill it and get vodka.

"old man shaking his fist"

I got 2 energy drinks + vodka and a 15 pack of old style pilsener.

24 oz. Pabst Blue Ribbon cans. 2 of 'em.

Does that get you feeling anything at all? I have to drink 12 to get drunk at all... maybe I'm just an alcoholic though.

This was me last year.

>be me 24 years old working at a newspaper distribution plant.
>Boss gives me a letter stating I have accumulated 80 hours of vacation time that needs to be used up in the next month or two.
>Look up buying a train ticket to travel the country.
> Look into hiking a portion of the Appalacian trail.
>Think about visiting sister in Calidornia.
> Spends the whole two weeks doing nothing except watching TV., Playing vidya, drunk on Greyhounds and Pabst

I was once going to hitchike across Canada one summer. I bought everything I needed while working on the internet for 2 dollars an hour. Backpack, sleeping bag, knife cooking gear etc. But I never lefft my city. I spent 2 months homeless drunk as shit and living under a tree. I got pretty good at panhandling though,

Okay dipshit, you tell me a good AAA game that's out these days? Not some indie fagtron's specific cup of tea that you only play for like 4 hours.

witcher 3

Is getting a bunch of cheap vodka and running it through brita filters worth it or am I better off just getting some I enjoy straight out of the bottle?

How do you guys feel about rose wine? Not an alcohol yet just trying to make conversation

its shit but it has alcohol in it so its ok in my book

Pass. Rather play Oblivion.

Get what you enjoy. Brita filters aint gonna do shit.
