>23 days to 1 year sober
feelin good. whenever i'm around drunk people i'm just reminded of why i stopped rather than wanting to join in.

>be 32yo male
>always drank every day since a child
>currently down to 2 light beers a night
>feels healthy as fuck

getting better sleep, and less waking up in the night to piss,

tried stopping many times, it's not going to work, always relapse... the best I can do is reduce to a healthier and sustainable amount of beer.

3 days sober , drinking always made gaming more fun for me, now that im not drinking im losing interest in gaming

but I feel good and determined

One year and two months sober

Well I guess months of people telling me I have a "drinking problem" or that I'm an "alcoholic" means I likely have a "drinking problem"
did acid on Wednesday and pathetic as it sounds it did put some things into perspective so I've not been drinking since then
Honestly my life is a mess and I don't see sobriety helping that massively. I am sleeping 15 hours a say and failing my course, and I have serious money problems. I've given up exercise completely at this point.
I'm so bored, contemplating going up the street for a bottle

You anons are all wonderful people and you're gonna make it

1 year and 9 months sober. I was the most reckless drunk in al/ck/ threads if you have ever been to those. I always thought I was dying and came pretty close during my last DT's. I don't go to /ck/ much anymore, but it looks like al/ck/ threads aren't allowed now?

Been getting fit over the last year. I don't even think about that decade of my life I spent drunk, it's weird. Now I have to learn to socialize with people as a 30 year old boomer

My goal is to.quit / reduce drinking enough to re loose the weight I gained after I fell off the wagon.

I went from 188 (sober) to 215 (drunk) in one 3 month ... paternal binge.

Now I'm trying to loose all that blubber and am back to 206 ... I can drink a bottle of scotch a day if I start drinking ... so I have been avoiding it to reduce Calories.

Slow going...

Did it affect your gains or physique at all?
At 2 beers why even bother? Why not just drink every other day and do 4 so you can at least feel a little buzz
What did you play drunk? I'm the opposite I'm not lazy to play Vidya when I drink it's actually motivation to be sober so I can enjoy it
How old are you and what kind of course is it?
I'm not an alcoholic I just really really like beer.
I'm 30 and can socialize just fine my problem is I'm so sick of idle chit chat and it's hard to actually make decent friends. I've had lots of shallow friendships but I want somethingore meaningful y ya know? Anyway i drank every day this week other then today, nothing too hardcore just beers for an evening beer buzz and wine one day. I figured I might as well take the next week off drinking because I got no real reason to be chasing a buzz however comfy it is. Also it couldn't hurt my bench progression to be sober for a bit

>Did it affect your gains or physique at all?
negatively? not in any way whatsoever.

I'm only twenty and in the first year of my course, which is music related because I guess I dint want to do anything remotely practical
not drawing money out but hey I've got £14.50, just enough

So yeah obviously I may be worrying to much being only young and not at a serious stage in my course
but whatever, I think a litre of gin sounds great tonight

So let me get this straight. You are a wojak-posting, weak, trap loving alcoholic tripfag. That's a sad life bro, change that shit.

I've found that if you account for calories it doesn't really affect you much. But it's easier not to have to do that.
A litre of gin is legit alcoholism territory. Take this from a guy who used to have five to six beers and a bottle of wine just for a night in during his studies. It's fine now but not are you going find it awkward trying to drink the amount you want when you get out. If you can still lift and go to class tommorow after a litre of gin though you kind of have my respect. I was lucky that I didn't have morning classes all that much.

>Wojak posting
Yeah what do you like Pepe you fucking newfag?
>Trap loving
I fap to tranners not traps there is a thread up on /LGBT/ right now if you wanna come discuss it with me in the actual correct place faggot.
>Alcoholic
Nah I just really like beer
>Weak
Compared to your inflated e-stats sure.
Also if you don't drink why are you attention whoring in my thread? You sound pathetic

A lack of /Al/CK/ threads make that board useless if true. Can anyone confirm?
Good thing you are stopping now you'd be boogie 1488 size by the end of next year

>I'm not going to drink this week
>drink jug of corn whisky and most of a bottle of rum last night accidentally

...

not drunk texting my ex would be a start

I think al/ck/ has been disallowed
I don't get it personally, it was just one general that didn't shit up the board

>Accidentally
Don't have food or drink in the house if you aren't planning to have it. Rule #63.
It's Jow Forumsness and health related get fucked nigga.
>Ex
Delete her from your phone or delete yourself

>Delete her from your phone or delete yourself
ain't easy

Press delete you massive cuck. You have no reason to stay in contact with a woman who is taking Tyrone's dick every night. You should have deleted it within 5 minutes of breaking up.

maybe after a drink or two?
>always ends like that

I'll be sober two years in Feb. When you're sober you realise how fucking retarded alcohol culture is. This sounds cringey but it's literally like taking the red pill.

can I ask a legit question? why do you tripfag? I want to understand why on earth people do it.

Got a massive whisky collection tho

Drank from depression, anxiety, and stress. So I thought I was an alcoholic. Now I'm on anti-depressants and got myself a good career I just get smashed once a week for fun. Sometimes if something really stressful happens then I get drink and feel better.

well the shop that does cheap litres closes early on a Sunday so I've settled for 70cl
first drink and I feel better already, might even get some work done and finally read that next book of the Iliad
>If you can still lift and go to class tommorow after a litre of gin though you kind of have my respect.
I'll be having a go at it anyway, been miserable these past few days, the drink might help to get some shit down
Gotta buy my family Christmas presents tomorrow :)

"relapsing" tonight after 3 months of sobriety. Drinking gremlin wouldn't leave me alone for the past 2 weeks so I decided to give in on my own terms and get drunk with a couple of beers.

Goal is to not drinking at all, made good progress over the last 2 years. I used to get wasted twice a week, at some point it got so bad that as soon as hangover/withdrawal stopped I got back at it, couldn't do a single productive thing for weeks sometimes. In 2018 I consumed alcohol 3 times, tonight's the 3rd time, didn't blackout either.

good for you lad
you can only try so hard. so long as it doesn't slip further, you're still doing very well

Same reason I waste my time on this board. Because it's fun. There are also other threads and boards where I'm a regular and the trip comes in handy.
Rip
You don't have to be sober all the time but drinking to blackout drink on your own is a problem. Find a better balance

22 years sober
It's easier if you never even started imbibing the Devil's piss

What do you do to feel that warm comfy feeling?

I don't

What do you do for fun or does life just suck?

>You don't have to be sober all the time but drinking to blackout drink on your own is a problem

I have the 'all or nothing' personality type, I try to improve self control but if something is harmful it's best to avoid it all together.

The purpose of life is not to have fun, it just makes it easier

An easy life is inherently fun.

Things are never that simple. There are circumstances in life that can escalate and put you in trouble. You can start drinking socially and get legit social benefits out of it but at some point lose control without noticing.

New Years Day will be 2 years for me. Sometimes I wonder if I should have just stayed a drunk and died a drunk. I'm in the best shape of my life and in law school but still a fundamentally lonely person. At least alcohol was my friend...

>You can start drinking
There's your problem

Its also that you have fucked up your brains reward system and its gonna take a while for it to readjust.

Took me about a month before things i could enjoy things after quitting daily weed smoking. So glad i did though

This gin is pretty good ill be honest
are there any threads that have taken up the mantle of al/ck/?
Seems like even that long haired tripfag on Jow Forums either gave up on his own general or died

It's easy to avoid alcohol when you're a friendless social retard living down your parent's basement for who twitch camwhore leaks is the most exciting event of the year isn't it?

You have the extreme bitterness of someone who is truly unhappy and has really fucked himself up with his bad decisions and lack of self-control

I am doing perfectly fine without drinking stupid juice

>It's easy to avoid alcohol when you're a friendless social retard living down your parent's basemen
not really
if one wants to drink then one will drink

That sounds like the time you would want to drink the most actually
Welcome to Jow Forums

I'm actually quite happy to have fucked myself up, makes for a nice story to tell and I enjoy the challenge of unfucking myself.

You, though sound like a bitter faggot that never got the chance to fully enjoy young adult degenerate life still envious that you were never invited to parties and after work events. The concept of social drinking seems alien to you.

who 5050? He used to post himself Endlessly but all the ironic shitpost drowned him out. Jow Forums was a trash fire last time I checked. It was kind of comfy some years back if you knew where the good threads where anyway.

I am very socially well adjusted, I guess that is how manage without alcohol

>who 5050?
him, aye
I agree Jow Forumsis terrible board but along with /fa/ it was my first, so I'll always feel some desire to defend it
I assume that once the rule against posting your own face came into action he half gave up, and then the board continued to worsen and he gave up fully
I'd like to thin k he's still doing al right

He seemed like the last of the genuine robots imo. Jow Forums is mostly just edgy teens. But 5050 really was living life as an alcoholic who gave no fucks anymore but was somehow still a massive narcissist and probably a little autistic. Jow Forums as shit as it was used to give some bite and keep the normalfag away from fourchan now they all congregate there. Still it got me into tranny porn so it's got that going for it

I know this thread is for alcoolfags, but my addiction is world of warcraft. I want to stay away from it forever. I usually manage to do this for some months, then lack of real life successes and frustration work as triggers to make me relapse. Any tips to not give in?

Highly recommend this app. It's called Sober Time.

Helped me quit drinking for well over a year. Only started back up, and I might say dangerously heavily and often, was because I spent the last year of my life on covering her cheating a bunch, and trying to fix that because we have four children.

Wasn't successful and she kept at it, so I just filed myself. Now that she's about to move out in my life isn't a giant ball of anxiety, this app is going to be my buddy. As you can see I'm on day 3.

As you can also see you can upload custom pictures for motivation. I also set it up so that every single day for the first 60 days it gives me a customized goal I set, like "He's a Pass" from Dredd is what it will say when I make day 5. Or "Sith Lord Dedication" on day 30.

Hokey but it works for me.

Simpsonbro? Smirnoffbro?

I haven't played since the panda expansion. Just remind yourself how shit the game has become. For me, it's going to be difficult to keep away from classic. All my really good WoW memories are from vanilla/BC/Wrath

*uncovering

I think I'm getting close to becoming an alcoholic. I've been drinking quite a bit for seven months up to two to three times a week. Haven't touched anything to for three but I'm losing my fucking mind. Might be retarded though.

Do you play it all night or some shit? Dosent sound too bad I'd not. I hate MMOs personally.

>The liquid jew
This'll be an interesting success story of normies ever get a hold of it

well I've only had four drink but I'm steaming already
didn't do anyway work the way i'd'd hoped but I never really expected to anyway
agreed to go on a date with a person I wanted to cut off all cummunicationns with
my flatmatess know I've started drinking a gain
I am so angry
I should jump off the fucking pier
fuck this

boomp

quit drinking 15 days ago today, I thought I would be miserable but once the shakes and headaches stopped I started feeling much better and less depressed. I'm trying to do lots of cardio and taking diuretics while drinking huge amounts of water to flush it faster and I already feel way less fat and my face looks better. I would recommend taking time off work/avoiding stress till u feel 100% better or you will probably relapse or yell at people and be a douche by accident.

I’ve quit getting smashed every day but I still binge drink and it feels unhealthy as fuck. On day 3 of a binge, waiting to get off work so I can drink. Haven’t been in the gym since Friday and I won’t be until Tuesday. I’m plateauing and it’s definitely because of drinking.

Goal is 30 days sober. When I hit that itll be easy going from there. Judging by my prior dryings out I’ll start off with shorter breaks leading into it. After tonight I won’t drink until I put another 5 pounds on my bench and then after that not until I squat lmao2pl8 for 5

anons don’t start drinking alone it’s a trap and will detract from every aspect of your life

>one month sober

I said to myself that I would be sober at least until the 20th but I get really close to buying a case of beer and getting wasted at least a couple of times a week. I think the problem is that my life fucking sucks hehe lol.

>al/ck/ threads aren't allowed now
What? Why not?

I was never a /ck/ regular so it disappeared during a time I wasn't using the board, so I couldn't say
maybe it's just that the general had gotten reputation for being one o fit most depressing and miserable threads on the site and the board was trying to preserve its otherwise good reputation
oh man
did two more lines
holy hsit :)))

my nose was running a little and i went *snfffffff*
jerked my head and threw my neck out
cheers

Autocorrected. Snorting is """safer""" but I still got the nasuea and cold sweats when I was snorting it.

ahh okay
feeling breddy good rn
might snort more
just scared to go to sleep in case I don't wake up lmao
I get it :)
very irritating

Got wasted on Saturday so now I'm not drinking until Christmas.
I'm enjoying it less and less as I get older. I found out I habitually drink when I'm bored which is often so I'm working on finding more things to do. I also hate socializing unless I'm drinking, which can be a problem.

Stop smoking weed completely
3 days sober I believe
Went from smoking a quarter a day alone too an eighth and now I’ll only smoke a gram every once in a while
I completely ruined smoking weed for myself forever now by just smoking 24/7 in insane amounts and I feel guilty about smoking a small joint maybe once a month

I hate not drinking
I love drinking

I need to stop drinking
fuck

i did wildland firefighting this last year so i couldn't drink for 14/21 days at a time which was insane for me. glad i did, now i'm almost a month sober and 10 days without a cig. feeling great but a bit bored, but i'm using my time to try and learn spanish so that's cool i guess

Where at?
berta hac here

based out of oregon, but i went to 9 different states for fire this year

I rarely ever drink but when I do I always regret it. The worst things I've ever done were while I was drunk. I've decided to be sober from now on. I'll probably have to cut some people out of my life because that's all they do, but I hardly ever see them anyway, and it's probably for the best because they're a terrible influence on me. The worst part is I'm 31 and it's fucking impossible to meet new friends my age. It's depressing, but I know it's for the best.

noice, last year I was in BC and all over alberta but this year the timing didn't work out for any exports to either ontario or quebec

to be happy so i stop drinking

That sucks. Has anyone tried making a thread on /b/ or /trash/? /b/ might be too fast for but I think it could live on in /trash/.

I made it almost 48 hours without drinking yesterday, ended up getting drunk again but I think it's progress

it would be swallowed up on /b/ I feel
/trash/ it could work though

people will tell you that's nothing to be proud of, but any gap is good
keep working on those gaps being made longer and longer :)

Decided to quit a while ago, got drunk for the last time last friday and just slept through saturday and ate unhealthy food and watched TV on sunday. Going to have my next drink in 2020, wish me luck.

Try for a few days or a week saying you won't drink for a year is fucking doomed.

How the fuck can you drink consistently? I find alcohol really repulsive for some time after getting shitfaced.
