State of Tennessee forced me to stop for90 days. I can start drinking again in 8 days and15 hours. Be back to a litter of vodka a day by next weekend

Idk, I started drinking because I was bored. I stopped drinking and I'm still bored. So, what did I accomplish?

Hold on. Lemme grab muh beer.

I only drink with friends or family at most once a month. Would it be worth it to abstain completely?

How do you fags not get hammered every night

AA works maybe half the time. I like something better than a coin flip. From experience, it's a weird shamed filled cult that's somehow become the only state approved option. Would make more sense to address the underlying issues that started the drinking & do harm reduction. Possibly using kratom or weed as bridges along with therapy to get sober. Maybe some sex surrogates as well. Loneliness & abuse are common threads. But that'll never happen. So let's pretend some higher power exists & eat more cookies.

>Loneliness and abuse are common threads

Fuck. I didn't even realize it.

People in aa are the most selfish and self involved I've ever met. And they push aa like a cult. Just because you can't handle drinking does not mean I cant. Their story's are the worst too, they're constantly trying to out do each other with how they drank so much harder. It's a room full of washed up has beens.

Yep. activities and positive social attention, maybe some intimacy and care? That's the root of a lot of this. It doesn't describe everyone, but people always seem to overlook those. Best case in AA, you become addicted to AA & eat junk food with the cult to satisfy that need. But try it out. I'm rooting for ya, user.

It works for those who want it to work. The underlying issue is yourself. Outside things are not going to keep you sober. Other drugs are not going to keep you sober, you will always go back to doing what you want to do, or just become addicted to these new substances.
Alcoholics/addicts suffer from:

A physical allergy(once I have one I don't know how to stop)

A mental obsession(the means and ways to get to the next one)

And a spiritual malady(using people and material things to fulfill me)

Kratom helped me end a 10+ year struggle with alcohol.

Went to a meeting tonight,good stuff

15 years sober

I go to the pub everynight stoned and i drink and i go to other peoples houses and get stoned with them and after doing this for a year it has introduced me to a lot of people and has given me some really good experiences and i went to america stoned

A neighbor of ours just had his 46 years sober.

AA is horrible. It is one of the worst organizations to join. That train is bound for nowhere.

I am 23 hours sober. Let's make it a lifetime!

who /13thStep/ here?

I was going through a very nasty divorce while making good money and went binge crazy. I got to the point where I had at least a buzz from morning until night and could kill a fifth in 2 hours and still be functional. When I decided to quit I did it cold turkey and it was horrible, but doable. I drink occasionally now and know my limits. If any of you would like some tips on how to quit at home let me know.

Love to drink, but can’t do it anymore

Every single time I wake up in the middle of the night filled with dread and just lay there feeling like shit.

Hate the feeling way more than I like being drunk

Anyone here ever have delirium tremens? That's when I met the shadow people. That was a year ago. Just had two months sober. I miss the al/ck/ threads

Sure did. They were scary as hell, but keep a level head and they pass. Alcohol withdraw is fuckin' crazy.

Only good for taking advantage of the 13th step

I've been sober for 6 years in AA. Used to drink 1/2 gallon of whiskey per day. Now, I've graduated law school and am waiting on my bar exam results. AA doesn't work for everyone, but it can work wonders for a specific sub-class of alcoholics that respond to its treatment methods.

Op = massive faggot

>not wanting to take the edge off and slow that derailed train of fail brain the hell down.

Good post user!

Maintaining a buzz while not get hungover is a art form

tips please

I have 1 month of vasap left and I start drinking everyday again
