Cold sweats suck so bad. You can get comfortable in bed. Goes from cold to hot. Getting really tired of withdrawals.. This crap is fucking up my life.

i bought a 6 pack of nice beer at the store a block away and managed to drop it on the way back and break 2 bottles while completely sober
what a dickhead

First full day of not drinking in a while. I'm tempted but I'm trying to stop drinking so much. I don't want to quit completely but I feel like I need to cut back.

I used to use this level as my stopping point. I'd take a day or 2 off when that happened and be fine again for 2 weeks or so. But I just powered through and dealt with the diarrhea for the last few weeks. Now I've suddenly transitioned to crazy constipation for the last week. I wish the diarrhea would come back...

Eat before going to sleep if youre drinking a shit ton of liquor.

Silver lining is you arent getting arrested or losing jobs and relationships.

>ventured out today and paid $650 worth of utilities (last month's and this month's bill two weeks early)
>felt so accomplished that I came home and got drunk and then slept until 10:00pm
>decent sleep but still insane dreams and lots of sweating
>I'm up now, waiting for my gf to fall asleep so I can sneak out and go buy some fast food
>it's gonna be a comfy night mah bois

I feel like less of a giant piece of shit than usual today.
Anyone else getting hunkered down with their favorite booze/ don't feel like ending it all in the current moment?

>got so drink at my desk job that I put my head down and fell asleep for 2 hours
>Boss asks me if I'm ok and if I needed a nap as I woke up around quitting time
>Finished off the rest of the 750ml over some shitty dinner, managed my way home
>Halfway passes out on couch, slump over to bedroom and pull a bottle from my.hampr that is less empty than I remember
>Make another drink and plump down in my bed to post this
>Not sure I'll take a sip but at least the ice will leave me a cold drink in the morning
Who else is trying to break the cycle here?

Is it inappropriate to ask for recommendations here?

what are you looking for, friend?

Cocaine

I'm actually just wondering what people here enjoy for a cheap dark rum.

yea my bed stinks.

10yr heavy drinker here. look up peripheral neuropathy.
i feel nothing but pain below my knees, can barely walk and its starting to happen to my hands. ive been a musician for 20yrs but not anymore. the only thing i lived for is gone

there is no fixing this. im like a 35yr old in a 75yr old body. noone talks about or told me about this. its not just numbness but spasms and it feels like someone is scraping the meat off my bones with a spoon.

1:50, got back home with a shit lot of Taco Bell. About to finally get drunk as fuck and mack on down while I watch some Netflix.
Sometimes these moments make the pure misery of what this life does to you almost worth it.

Gosling's

cool dude! how much, what poision, how long, and did you stop?

How long do you need to abstain to get to the point where you're not tempted to buy booze and don't spend hours internally debating with yourself?

>shit degree
>can't get a full time job
>have to clean toilets two days a week
>make just enough money not to be homeless
>only eat cheap rice and beans and drink vodka and piss beer
I want to get out of this nightmare

The rest of your life. Cheers!

Not even kidding here, but one day I just told myself how disgusting alcohol is after drinking daily for years. Now I get that gag feeling and nausea when thinking about drinking. I haven't craved it since then and have been sober 2 years.

But many relatively low alcoholic drinks are delicious, as well as higher end craft liquors.

Maybe if you were just drinking kharkov and bud light, then the experience can be conveyed a little easier.

2:40 am. woke up dehydrated and hungover. time for le hair of the dog

Nah, I have a well paying job so I would have aged scotch and quality vodka mainly. I know it sounds like a meme but telling myself that alcohol is disgusting somehow worked. Plus eating more than just a light snack every day helped. No more drinking 1700 calories in alcohol every day.

the greatest YouTuber of all time discusses quitting drinking

youtu.be/xRB1kUdCyZQ

attached: a pic of a lake just inland of lake Michigan

I swear I tell myself this every time I wake up after a night of binge drinking but I soon forget about it after a few hours and then by late afternoon I'm already craving again.

Did you do anything different to help you gain this mindset? Did you have a bad experience with alcohol?

>Plus eating more than just a light snack every day helped. No more drinking 1700 calories in alcohol every day.

This really is a self-conscious burden. Still doesn't mean that a good trappist ale can perk my taste buds and satiate my mind. Wish I would have the strength to do what you have done, however. But I don't think the same method could work for me.

watch this vid.
explains it pretty well

I really can't explain it. I just woke up very hungover one day, stared at the empty vodka bottle next to my bed and convinced my body how disgusting it is. I picture rubbing alcohol now when I picture the taste of alcohol and it makes me gag

>watch this vid

Just finished it. And I'm waiting for the day when I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired but it just doesn't seem to be coming. As I said, even when I feel like absolute shit it soon dissipates and I'm craving again. Though I guess as he said you've got to want to quit. Maybe I don't want it badly enough. Or I'm strong enough to put my foot down and just quit.

I realised making toast today that there are 7 empty Wild Turkey bottles in my kitchen and I can't remember if it was 1 or 2 weeks when I took out the recycling. I felt ashamed but not repulsed. I really want to feel physically repulsed by alcohol.

Tonight is the first night in like 50 days where I haven't gotten drunk off my ass.

i drink a liter of liquor a night and always will.

the worst i do is drunk text my friends

i think the real reason most people stop drinking is drunk driving/dangerous public behavior

notice in the vid he talks a lot about drunk driving behavior. we all know hangovers are a meme if you have a flask.

I don't have any friends anymore to text. I drink drive occasionally but it's usually at like 3am to get McDonald's or down the road for more booze.

No significant risk of embarrassment or an accident. I don't go out so no dangerous activity either. I just drink alone and shitpost for hours on end. I think the issue for me is it stops me taking significant steps to improve my life. I'm not working at the moment and whilst I've got some money it won't be around forever. I don't want to sit around for a year doing nothing other than drinking and shitposting and realise I've run out of money, need to get another job, have done nothing to improve my situation and am stuck with nothing and nowhere in life.

if you're not at risk of getting into an accident, you're not drunk.

idk about direction/motivation problems. I'm a rich neet desu so yeah.

>if you're not at risk of getting into an accident, you're not drunk.

This sounds strange but I'm supremely confident in my driving skills when I'm drink driving. It can be after a litre of Turkey yet I've always made it through unscathed and no DUIs. The risk is always there though.

how? where do you live?

Australia.

I live in quiet suburban area, have a small strip of stores nearby so never need to drive far and also get lucky plenty too. Just recently I told myself not to buy anymore after finishing off a bottle early Sunday afternoon. The next morning on the way to work at a quiet roundabout they had police set up doing breath tests at every entrance of the roundabout. If I had bought more that finishing what I had that afternoon I would have drank into the early hours and almost certainly blown.

fair enough. i live in the mountains in northern Georgia so I'd be dead if I drove drunk.

I've heard Aussie cops are assholes but cops here sit a freeway exits waiting for people who disobey exit turnoff speed limits.

Top Gear was right to laugh at us

Looks like a fag desu senpai

Kraken for 20.99 half gallon

kys asshole

Stop drinking. How will your kidney handle the estrogen pills with all that alcohol?

>Detroit

He's in a better place now.

its 430 am and i cant get back to sleep. im making a drink. hold me Veeky Forums

youtu.be/EqWRaAF6_WY

I've made it to 7:30pm without drinking. Might as well just keep going, right?

hey guys need some advice
>went to one of best friends weddings a few weeks ago
>was groomsman
>had a great night all together
>after ceremony was hanging at bar with friends
>grooms sister that I've known for as long as I can remember comes up and we start talking
>after about 10-15 minutes she tells me she's always had a crush on me
>she is hot as fuck
>at this point I am a bit dumbfounded
>i tell her "you are really killing me right now.. a huge part of my wants to make out with you immediately.. but another huge part of me doesn't know the etiquette for making out with the grooms sister on the day of his wedding"
>i flirt with her for another hour or so and finally decide fuck it, lets do this
>as we begin to go to my room the dad sees what's happening and shuts it down immediately
>I don't have her number and haven't talked to her since and that was 2 weeks ago
>just been drinking and thinking about what to do

I'm 28. She's 25. Really, REALLY fucking hot and comes from great genetics. She doesn't live too far from me... (sort of.. 6 hour drive). She is wife material but the only way I could get ahold of her is messaging through facebook and I have a fake account so idk if that would be weird..

plz halp.. I want a waifu so I can stop drinking by myself.. (and stop drinking altogether)..

Get her info from your friend you dumb fuck

Sweating bullets, shitting bricks.

My friend, as in, her brother?
>hey bro, what's your sisters number? I want to fuck her

Try a banana and black beer.

Why not come up with a plausible excuse?

>Your sister was talking about some restaurant at your wedding a few weeks ago, can you ask her what the name was for me or text me her number?

That might work. I'm just leaning towards him actually asking her about the fake restaurants name that we never discussed instead of actually texting me her number. If I'm being too annoying, feel free to call me a faggot.

Why can't you get an admin or sales job?
You will find out the differences between the shit ones and the good ones.
Are you too old to go in for a trade.
Why not search for graduate jobs, would get you a comfy middle management job.
Or just fuck off to SEA as a ELT, teaching kids abc's

That's simply an example. Ask a question that in the event he does ask her she just tells him and he'll text you the answer.

Then you ask a follow up question about that restaurant/band/whatever and he will just text you her number because at that point he will be irritated at being your messenger boy.

Okay. I will brainstorm on what to ask initially. Thank you for your thoughts

Yeah, tell him you found out she's crushing on you and the feeling is mutual. If he's a bad friend then get a real fucking Facebook goy and message her

Do you live in medieval times, or in a Muslim country, where brothers have to protect their sister's virginity at all cost?
Because if both of you are adults and can make informed decision of texting each-other, unless her brother is an asshole, he shouldn't object.

>30 ausbucks for 5L of beer at Aldi tomorrow

ACH DU LIEBER AUGUSTIN

Isn't that like $3 per pint? I'm paying 80p/pint for 7.2%

>tell him you found out she's crushing on you and the feeling is mutual
I will do this. thank you

>Do you live in medieval times, or in a Muslim country, where brothers have to protect their sister's virginity at all cost?
No I don't man.. thank you for making me realize I'm being silly. Like I said I've just never been in this situation which is why I posted in the first place.

Bills all paid/covered for the month. Just had my seventh shower in 13 months. New bedding, fresh clothes, 2oz of tobacco, loads of booze, loads of decent food for me to ignore, no obligations for a while, piss barrel empty, water jug full and 10 lorazepam for the WD. This is why I haven't yet killed myself, alcoholism isn't 100% bad.

I've been sober for a month but I'm starting to think that maybe alcoholism wasn't so bad. at least I had sort of an identity as well as a goal each day - the consumption of alcohol and dealing with withdrawals. now I'm just really fkin bored

That's the news paper you dumb fuck, It says NOVI. Can you read?

Novi is a wealthy Detroit suburb.

Also FUCK YOU

Calm down. Have another drink.

He had more purpose and value on this earth then you, Who cares if someone is straight or gay.

An no, He wasn't gay. Fuckin prick

same except for the showering. that's disgusting, negroid.

4ltrs a day, almost. 10yrs. was fun in my 20s when i had friends. now im just a hate filled sack of meat who just wants to be left alone but can only afford share housing so i barely even cook to not have to interact with people.

anyone get really bloated feeling from heart burn?

I took 3 zantac 150's already today and still have heartburn/acid reflux

I eat very little and chew Tums like they're candy. If I drink harder I just end up puking every day.

Are you drinking carbonated stuff? Or high acidity stuff like cider? They're potent heartburn fuel

I'm not that guy, but I pH balance my home made booze to neutral or alkaline after I distill it. It still ruins my stomach.

Just vodka and gatorade.

Rarely smoke anything, Maybe 2 cigs and 2 joints a week.

Pic related is smirnoffs GF

How does someone who drinks that much form a relationship with anyone?
What's wrong with her that she stands back and watches a man poison himself like that?
Oh did he get sober?

nice cutting scars

By also drinking I'd imagine, I bet pornstars aren't sober.

Still would though.

Smirnoffbro is dating a porn performer?

i fell of the wagon again and have been drunk for three days after 16 days of not drinking

Bummer, you pretty much got over the hump? What happened to cause you to fall off?

i thought it would be fun to drink because being sober is really boring

>being sober is really boring

It really is. The boredom is the thing that always pushes me back. The sad thing is when I'm drunk I do the exact same shit I so sober, it's just the being drunk makes it tolerable.
I really need some hobbies, passions or interests.

I'm so fucking boring.

Board is sfw, dude. I'd delete before you're banned, if I were you.
I'm keeping a low profile atm because I'm coming off so much shit, and attempting to taper vodka at the same time. I'm still aching to be sober. As such my brain is foggy af, I'm barely sleeping and I feel like death even when drunk.
I've never met Misha, she's not my girlfriend. I just know her from /b/ and similar places since we spoke online about a decade ago. Every now and again I stumble across her online, and mail her to sexually harass her.
She is nice though. With a distinct hint of dangerous. One day I'll convince her to meet me for dinner, and lace her chateauneuf du pape with rohypnol.

>cutting scars

My type of grill

same desu

lifting is the only thing that manages to keep me sober for a while, too bad you can't lift 24 hours a day

I'm glad you're not actually her BF if you'd threaten to rape the poor girl.
