>I wound up learning restraint from drinking every goddamn day.

I know that song and dance.

About 10 hours
First time

I bet you feel a lot better now, huh? Thank god for modern medicine. I suggest when you are discharged you post your medical receipts on the wall so you see it every day.

Also ask about naltrexone to keep your physical cravings away. It works for a lot of us.

Glad you chose to get help.

Be honest, how sad is it to go to a bar alone?

Asking for a friend.

Youll notice a lot of other loners. The worse part is when everybody is trying so hard to pretend they arent lonely that nobody is talking, even after a few drinks.

Probably helps that I didn't drink hard liquor until this past Monday.

Went a whole year on shitty drinks, right up until then. Worst hangover the next day, worse than any other I've had. Liver might be pretty fucked, but those regrow when you don't fuck 'em nonstop?

As sad as you want it to be, but it's better to get a meal and get the fuck out after a half hour

give me attention

Doesn't bother me.
Haven't bothered going to a pub for like a year though. Can't smoke, prices are retarded and fights break out too frequently. Plus hate blacking out, then waking up next to some retarded skank. Nearest bar is literally 15 paces from my door so it's easy to coax sluts back here. Then regret it and go through the tedium of STD testing and hiding from angry husbands.

Teacher here starting school on Monday. So thus far this month i've drank two 1.75's and a 750 of vodka. Frankly i know its a lot however it doesnt seem to interfere much with my day to day routine. I hate day drinking and therefore drink during the evening/at night mostly while i cook. I still grade, plan lessons, and make plenty of time for the wife such as bike rides, cards, etc. I rarely get wasted drunk, maybe a little sloppy some nights, but i can count on one hand the number of hangovers i had this past summer. More or less im curious if any of my fellow al/ck/s have reached this level of functional alcoholism? How much mental clarity will come back if i taper off to two/three drinks a night?

Want to start drinking but I need to eat something and there's nothing substantial in this house. I can't be bothered driving somewhere to get something. I kinda feel like a McDonald's Angus Cheeseburger though.

That's almost nothing you've drunk, dude.
>functional?
For a few years I worked (self-employed, at home) for literally every waking hour. 7 days a week, up to 17 hours a day, drinking from the moment I woke until the moment I passed out. Made good money. Guess you could call that functional.
>clarity
Fucked if I know. I was once clean for 7 months, yet my brain still didn't fucking work properly, still had the memory of a retarded goldfish. I think I may have alcohol-induced dementia.

Hello friends.

For the past 3-4 weeks I've consumed anywhere from 3-12 drinks on a nightly basis. I haven't had a drink today and I plan on taking at least a week off. Do you think I'll experience any sort of withdrawal? I'm a big guy, if that counts for anything.

.
The VA fucked up a back surgery and I was stuck in bed, missing work, all week. I figured that, since I'm in pain and have no meds yet... I was out of pot and out of money. So what was my last option. So not only am I hurt, I'm pissed at the VA. So I started to drink. Woke up this morning and figure I should drive to the VA hospital because I was feeling like shit and I had a reasonable idea as to what was going on, even though I've never been here before. I didn't make it to the hospital because I though I shouldn't drive. Felt pretty bad. So I get to my former mother-in-law. And she had some experience with with draw. And basically confirmed. She drove her.

>burger
I've had these once before...

And I've prepped 2 in the fridge ready for tomorrow. SO friggin' tasty if you follow the recipe and method precisely. Ramsay knows his shiz.
I had his lemon and herb roast pork today. Meant to take a pic, but forgot. Highly recommend both dishes. McDonalds a shit.

Well then. Good to know. Im going to have another shot of tequila and watch Blade Runner.

Ah, I remember you posting in another thread.

yeah liver gets better after about 2 weeks and keeps improving from thereon. liquor is the fastest way to withdrawals, as you can see. if you have to drink try and stick with beer.

>he hasn't had the shakes yet

what did you do? would love to work at home but all i can find is shitty ~10/hr call center type jobs. fuck that.

if youve never had withdrawal, my bet is you will get some anxiety, some cold sweats, and trouble sleeping.

I built porn sites in the 90's, when it was still lucrative. Bit of casual daytrading, selling on ebay, just generally made money for getting drunk and fucking about online.

Thanks. How long do you think it'll go on for? A few days?

any sites that are still up?

been thinking about switching from support/sysadmin stuff over to web design. i know you can teach your self a lot but i'm fantastic at putting things off so i would need some sort of structured learning.

>still up?
Sort of. I sold them all and most faded into nothingness, but a couple were completely restructured and still linger. Doubt they make much money nowadays.

mild withdrawal (which is what youll probably have) should be cleared up around 72 hours, if not less. pay close attention to the next few days. see if you notice symptoms. if you do, cut back or take a break for a while.

will do. Appreciate it, man

For you

Got stood up by some bitch tonight. First time that's ever happened to me. How do you think I should respond when she tries to apologize? Thinking of just telling her to go fuck herself. I've slept with her a few times but it's nothing serious

Fuck drama dude, just cold shoulder it. If you need to respond make it minimal.

What does a girl's butthole smell like?

Shit

vagina discharge mostly unless they're super clean then maybe baby wipes

One of the worst weeks of my life so far

Things have been going so well for some time now and today was one of the worst social interactions I have ever had

I-I don't know how to control my autistic personality around normal people........

But only super chads post on Veeky Forums bruh.

>dont drink for a few weeks
>meeting cancelled tomorrow
>buy 2 six packs
>already 1 six pack in and slightly buzzed
wtf I thought your tolerance was supposed to go down or shit. im gonna have like 2 beers left for tomorrow night at this rate fucking christ

Share your story with us.

I get you.
Bought a 12 pack and three beers in I started to go scared of when they where going to run out.
Personally I just went to a bar and got two pints and some free drinks...
I love it and hate it when I get free drinks like that because it means I'm nice. But it's only when I'm drunk I'm nice and fun like that. Not a good detergent when you want to drink less...

Lost my phone to gnomes last week. In my own apartment. I don't even know, remember or can imagine how it happened but my phone is fucking gone. The only plausible thing I can imagine is I threw it out the window in whiskey rage but fuck if I know. Knife cuts everywhere on the walls that I'll have to put some putty on or paint over.
t depressed manic alc.

Takes longer then that bro.

There's your name top left on a paper.
I'd delete this pic if I were you.

You're retarded for going cold turkey on several drugs at the same time.

That is not my name. That list isn't even accurate as far as the food I was served so you fucks can leave that stranger alone. How do I delete?

Doubt thats him
>DOB: 11/29/51
Would make him in his 60s.

is 300 mL/day of whiskey bad

Because Veeky Forums is still a secret club, right?

That would be pretty light for me, but yeah still more than you should. My doctors keep telling me no more than 4 drinks a night. No more than 7 drinks a week, where a drink is defined as a shot, for whiskey. To be honest, I feel like twice that is more reasonable, but I'm sitting in detox.

That is not me. I'm diabetic and the guy bringing up the food didn't know I was here so he just took the little cake desert off of someone else's tray and gave it to me.

my "doctors" said it was bad but not bad enough for AA

You stole an old man's cake.
And that's terrible.

I didn't get the cake. I'm on a restricted diet. I stole the rest of his food.

Veeky Forums would be proud of u, boy

god just die already

can u send me yogurt first??

No I'm just saying that I doubt a 60 year old would post
>who here /detox/
Not saying it couldn't happen but the chances are statistically much lower.

...

>Drink 2 beers
>Feel like shit
>Not even buzzed
>Just feel like complete shit
god damn

Half the booze drowned, time to get down and get the tunes up. Sudokus await.

oh fiuckling christ are you in detox or the "behavior" ward

anyways, good luck.

I'm in detox. Wtf are you talking about?

BH, dummy.
>"I have, or may act like shit"

So how much do you drink?
Because doing sudoku still takes some brainpower. Just because I personally drink until blackouts.

a shit ton of beer right now, I'm considering going to get another six pack, but it might be shit considering I'm really tipsy already, but I want more, more I'm still not satisfied

Well I'm never satisfied until I pass out... Sort of the problem.

But do your thing.

Yeah I don't really want to pass out immediately, I want to ride the flow and the tune until I'm too tired and fall asleep
Thankfully I have now returned with more alcohol

Passing out here takes work, but solve them all.

>wake, 7am
>decide "FUCK this life. TODAY IS THE DAY!"
>take valium and gabapentin
>got 4 days worth, no way to get more, can't fuck this up
>1.30PM
>have had 4 litres of 8.2%

Huh. I don't know what that means, but I'm a cool dude and don't cause problems.

'behavioural health' or some shit iirc.
they think you're mental/dangerous.

...

I have a fucked stomach lining so I'm making things much more difficult for myself

>lactose intolerant
>gastritis
>tfw even hard cheese fucks me up, same with yoghurt with super low amounts of lactose
>been having flu like symptoms for God knows how long
>look it up and it's a dairy allergy, great everything delicious is poison

Tfw I drink 6/7 days pw and the day I don't is slightly better
..I'm better drunk than sober but it's fucking my insides up

...

try making organic sauerkraut. TOTAL pain in the ass, takes fucking forever to mash all the juice out of the cabbages, and if like me you spend 5 hours doing it, leave it to ferment for a week then discover that a FUCKING FAGGOT HOUSEFLY LANDED IN THERE AND IT HAD ALL TURNED TO STINKING, GELATINOUS SHIT, you won't be too chuffed. if it works out however, it's generally very good at establishing a healthy intestinal microflora.
or just do it the lazy way and spend a shitload of money taking 6 of these daily...
dolphinfitness.co.uk/en/kiki-health-body-biotics-60-capsules/83133/?ladid=uk
then go for this, an even stronger probio:
dolphinfitness.co.uk/en/protexin-bio-kult-60-capsules/25912/?ladid=uk

do look into the 'die-off' period though. wherein probios kick the shit out of pathogens, and those pathogens release toxic chems to make you feel like shit and stop making them be kil.
clever little shits do the same thing if you stop feeding them with complex carbs. they've evolved to release a chemical which makes you crave the foods they need. kill the bastards.

BS I've never hurt anybody. Maybe that's just what they call the whole department. Because if these fucks actually think I have a behavior problem I'll fucking shoe them what behavior problems look like. I did manage to sneak my vaporizer in so I can get my nicotine fix in the bathroom. With out that my attitude might be different. Is it normal to have a tracking device on your ankle?

fucking no it's not normal LOL you delusional bastard

I once sneaked cocaine into detox, and had vodka smuggled in. I do not know what the fuck is wrong with me.

oh al/ck/, ily.

Yeah, I just snuck in nicotine. You might have issues.

You got a laptop or you have to phonepost this entire time?

guys
holy shit
guys...
£15 on a fermentation vessel, £2 on cider yeast, £3 on cider nutrient, £15 on 23L of apple juice, one cup of honey, 2 weeks later... this shit is POTENT AS FUCK, 3 pints and i'm feeling it, even K doesn't hit me this hard, and that's over 8% ABV

Phone posting

Not that guy, but I've been phoneposting (and post like ten times in every thread) for one year, as of august 24th. I've got a laptop graveyard, full of broken phones and computers, all smashed/soaked while drunk. One is a 1-week-old, brand new lenovo thinkpad, another, a £550 novatech gaming laptop. Another 3 laptops lay next to them with one desktop and 4 or 5 phones, all dead, not so much as a fan or an LED, all laying in a silicone graveyard, waiting for me to sort my shit out and get them fixed. All I have left is one phone, and I protect it like my life depends on it. I once had to go 2 months with no internet access, no pc, no tv, no laptop, no phone, not even a radio, nothing. I was so fucking bored I ended up throwing furniture down my stairs just to watch it smash, and was in police cells 4 times in 1 week.

Think I'm going to Spoons later, wonder if that weird bartender who shittalks people who order drinks he doesn't like will be there. Still, can't really complain to much at 2.95 for a Guinness.

Ah shit I've been looking into the good bacteria route
Organic fermented sauerkraut at the supermarket is fucking $14+ I'm guessing the canned kind won't have any of the goods?
Might have to give it a go, can't find fermented pickles anywhere

from a supermarket it'll normally be pasteurised, there really is no easy way to get the stuff, you have to make it yourself and it's FUCKING hard work

How do you manage to break so much shit when drunk? So far my only casualties are a few glasses and a plate. Not had any trouble with electronics... yet.

I was facing two prison sentences, been banned from driving for 3 years even though I'd just bought a brand new car, had been quite substantially robbed, stabbed multiple times, got into vicious street-fights (4v1 for example, had the shit kicked thoroughly out of me, only managed to hurt one of them) when junkies/pikeys tried to rob me, was munching nitrazepam like smarties, smoking weed, heroin and crack daily, my oneitis got engaged, and I was sloshing back 2-3 bottles of Smirnoff daily, while eating like 1 meal a week. I was not wholly stable. The room in which I slept ended up so trashed I simply abandoned it, haven't been in there for months.

Fuck me thats rough. You the guy that was posting about emailing her a couple of threads back? Quite interested to see inside that room desu

>posting about emailing her a couple of threads back?
No, but I remember the thread. He and I sound similar. Would eagerly give his gril one as well.
Lots of people at NA meets seem to have lived a very similar lifestyle. Stay on the booze for long enough and it's quite amazing just how fucked your life can become. One of my friends just had her 2 kids taken from her by social services because she wouldn't stop drinking, another is now serving 5 years 6 months in prison for going into someone's house, randomly, frantically ripping their banister to pieces, throwing their bed out of a window then kicking a copper in the face. He was blacked out and remembers none of it.
Hard drugs and booze are not a healthy combo. After a while you will be literally insane.

>emailing her
Am still in contact with her though. she's married, but has emailed me 17 times today, telling me to kill myself. All the left column names beginning with "H" are her. All telling me to die. This out of nowhere, after no contact for a year.

>Lots of people at NA meets seem to have lived a very similar lifestyle
I suppose that is a very good point, you hear the odd seemingly crazy story here and there in this place and assume it is a one off, but when you think about it there are probably loads of people in similar situations that we don't really hear about here. Drugs sound properly scary, never really had access to them and no real desire to try them so I'll stick to slowly killing myself with booze. How are you doing now? Are you out of that lifestyle?

Different user but, my uncle was in his 50s when he died of liver cancer. I'd always call him out for having Veeky Forums memes.
>pours 40
Go to bed Jay.

Dang, sounds about right
Defo going to grab some fresh kimchi from the Asian supermarket in the meantime though
Then try my hand at keeping some sweet sweet organisms alive
What are your thoughts on kombucha?
