be me without the sob story > alcoholic in mid-late 20s > brain is constantly bombarding me with thoughts of getting drunk after work / at work (I always tell it that it isn't worth it) >every girl I've hooked up with I've been drunk every time >have racing hellish thoughts about times i've screwed up while drunk when sober >know all the genetic predispositions that I carry towards substance abuse >despite all this I still find myself drinking antisocially >drunk right now
how do I become a true chad by quitting alcohol? asking for help
No, despite being a pathetic loser I still have at least a minuscule amount of self discipline and pride. Jesus fucking Christ user... get yourself together. Try TRYING.
Andrew Carter
Change of perspective.
Every time you fail to quit and go back don't beat yourself up for it. Every time you quit make sure you make at least a small improvement, such as how much time between each failure to quit. try drinking less, try drinking fewer and further between.
The more small improvement you make, the more it adds up and helps you recover, but that change in perspective and realization that it will end up killing you is important.
If you truly want to be better, you have to do it. You can't just say you want to do it, or think you're going to do it, you have to.
Leo Wilson
In all seriousness, you need AA. I’m not kidding. God bless.
Charles Sullivan
I appreciate both of these. Thanks
Grayson Bennett
Agreed, point blank: this isn’t dude weed lmao. You have a serious addiction problem
AA isn't going to tell me what I already don't know. I really don't need to delude myself with the God aspect either...
Isaac Parker
then just stop it and stop enabling yourself, you have the addictive personality, that isn't going to go away, put it toward a hobby worth pursuing, not an early grave
Nathaniel Fisher
I was. Got tired of waking up with a headache. Ran 5 miles a day hungover because somehow that was the only thing that returned me back to baseline so I could start drinking again
Camden Myers
Yeah... you definitely need fucking help dude. If not AA then BB
Juan Edwards
Spoken like a true drug addict. Kind of gave me a dark kek tho... >I can stop anytime >rehab is such a waste >just one for the road >I’m still young
Landon Cook
some random text on a Libyan metalworking board isn't going to make the change, you have to do that yourself, are you doing to? I wish you luck, but you seem not even close to committed to stopping.
Tyler Turner
>i want help >not that help kek, Also congrats on giving up on something without even trying
Cameron Powell
what I am doing by creating this thread is looking for practical advice from former alcoholics. you two idiots seem to be neither, which is why your general platitudes are ignored.
Parker Scott
You deserve the disease you have.
Samuel Cruz
cold blooded
Sebastian Jenkins
probably but at least I have had sex
Brody Murphy
>how do I not be an alcoholic but still drink sometimes
you don't
Landon Cooper
quitting booze is fucking difficult to do on your own. You NEED support from other people. sounds fucking gay but its true. You don't have to believe me. Try it by yourself if you like.
Just go to AA if it doesn't work, okay?
Christopher Bennett
he won't he's a loser, but hey, he had drunk sex multiple times
Jackson Davis
lol i'm glad your butthurt
this is what i meant by practical. sensible and nothing trying to shove anything down my throat, I unironically thank you brother
Jayden Barnes
terribly
Lucas Flores
OP here. AA is for literal fags. I wouldn’t be caught dead there lol, bunch of sobbing losers boo hoo my life is destroyed Hahahahahaha fags. I got so drunk one time I let this guy have his way with my asshole lol I was passed out tho so whatever
Cameron Campbell
have sex faggot
Sebastian Peterson
if you aren't drunk right now then you have no excuse for your retardation other than you actually being retarded
Xavier Reyes
OP please consider checking yourself into a hospital so that they can monitor you while you detox. Quitting alcohol cold turkey can have really serious side effects including seizures and death. DT’s are a bitch.
Easton Powell
jokes on you, I'm having sex WHILE shit posting

AA works only for certain people, I still drank when I had court ordered AA meets. Hell I had a beer before I went in, it made listening to everyone’s crying easier. It worked for them, me venting and crying about my failures doesn’t help me. What works for me is distancing myself from my drinking buddies and finding hobbies that are PG, my drinking friends don’t hang out with me now that I won’t go to the clubs or bars with them and I have no regrets. I stick to thinking about what will happen when I drink, sometimes I send regretfull texts, spend a bunch of money buying shit I don’t need, or just waste an entire day being hungover. You have to try things and see what works for you, going to AA just because it’s supposed to work won’t work.
Michael Diaz
no
Liam Morris
You sound like the type of person who has to hit rock bottom to quit. That's what I was, and I crashed my car and got a DUI after years of regular drunk driving. Spent 8 hours in a holding cell just repeating to myself "I will never let this happen again" and when they let me out that morning, I was a different man. The important thing here though is "I" made the decision to change instead of keep wallowing in self created sorrows. You're already aware that you need to change. You just need to actually FUCKING DO IT.
Justin Bailey
rock bottom is an ever changing definition. i have already drove incredibly drunk from a casino, found myself having to pull over because i was so fucked up, fell asleep in a mcdonalds parking lot and woke up to a completely soaked with piss interior.
any other regular person would consider this "rock bottom" but the only logical thing to get me to forcibly stop is incarceration, the problem that contributes to my arrogance is I look too white and unsuspecting
