Every week I tell myself I'll stop drinking so much and then a few days later I drink myself into a stupor again. Sometimes I even go outside afterwards and make a fool of myself to random strangers.

Do you ever feel like you're dreaming? Like you're going to die now, this exact moment. Nothing makes sense you're head is going to explode?

Hey, I'm pretty drunk now. I push myself, and go a couple days without drinking, but I don't get any other kind of comfort. It's like a blanket. The horrible thing is that it doesn't matter, my job is so meaningless I can do it hungover, so I guess I am a functional alcoholic.

I'm almost 3 weeks sober and the insomnia is crazy but the first few days after quitting were still worse so I'm still not touching the bottle.

the first few days after quitting are so shitty. especially if you have withdrawal symptoms like sweating and anxiety. sooooo nasty.

At my worst I had to get meds. I still, I threw up several times during the first couple of days. Freaking awful, but checking in to rehab was not acceptable.

Anyone worse off than me now? I need to drink after a couple of days currently.

The weirdest thing was what I think are referred to as brain zaps. I'd be in bed falling asleep and it wasn't like a seizure where I'd move involuntarily but more like a momentary paralysis and an electrical storm in the back of my head. Was a little unsettling but that's subsided.

I'm with you on rehab being gay asf. I just drank until I got a) bored of bars and trying to interact or just observe these people who I for the most part despise and b) disgusted with myself.

Also I started lifting.

alcoholism completely ruined my life. i went from chad to neckbeard.

don't do. it's awful.

Are you still on the booze pill user?

Been sober 2 days now and I plan on going for 6 months then maybe a year. I can do it and so can you OP

drinking leads to life collapsing. i lost a good job, multiple girlfriends.

you'll end up cheating, you'll do random stupid drugs because drinking got boring.you'll do all of the dumb things over and over and over.

and then you'll wake up at 30 going holy fucking god what is happening with my life

it's pretty terrible

>both parents were affected by severe alcoholism
>I'm able to have a few craft beers here and there, often sensibly paired with meals, and call it quits

Being in total control of your alcohol consumption, and actually using it in a positive way to enrich your life for the better, feels even better than being a non-drinker.

no, i'm rebuilding my life. it's pretty terrible though. i used to think i was better than robots, now i'm pretty sure i envy them.

I slept through the interview for my dream job. Anyone do anything worse while drunk?

i got fired from the first middle class income job i had for stinking like a hangover

I punched this well known pedophile who lives by my mom in the face at random when I was blacked out the other day. Had plans to drink with my ex gf on her birthday but she said she didnt know if she wanted to cause i act dumb when drunk. Drank everclear and cranberry on the walk to get her flowers and a card. Drank more on the walk to her house despite her saying dont come over. Dropped the flowers and card at her front door walked like a block away and stood on a corner and drank more and smoked cigs. Decided fuck that and went and knocked on her window with no answer and ate shit in her backyard and lost a brand new pack of cigs. Walked home in defeat. Ive done more but those are probably the worst 2 things.

What happened? I would occasionally show up red-eyed, but never enough to affect my job

When was the pedo punched? Please share mate

MFW I'm a line cook by trade so I go into work late enough in the day that I'm probably not going to be hung over but even if I am no one cares as long as I show up and push out decent food.

MFW the dinner rush and the ensuing cortisol and adrenaline has only exacerbated my drinking.

I switched to morning prep and I don't think I could have quit the booze otherwise.

Last Saturday. I was supposed to be watching my niece and her boyfriend but I had like half of a half gallon of vodka and decided to start drinking. Ended up drinking all of it and told them I was gonna walk to my moms and get some tobacco. I blacked out on the walk there but I came to right as I punched him the first time then blacked out again and came to again as I was about to hit him as he was trying to get to his door. Apparently I punched the shit out of him and even went in his door a little bit to keep hitting him. Some dude after got in my face threatening to knock me out after which I kinda remember

I almost want to tell you to keep drinking.

Supposed to? How old are they? I hate pedos as much as the next good guy, but did he start shit?

Kek Im not like that at all when Im sober. Im shy and awkward as fuck man. My moms neighbor was there apparently and heard me say this is for what happened to me as a kid then I started hitting him.

i'mma blogpost, hopefully someone learns something from me. i'm 34 now.

i started drinking when i was 19. i had a great girlfriend, top of my class etc. cheated, farted around in college and gave up.

when i went back to school at 23 i did the same thing. in between i didn't date but slept with as many people as i could.

come to be 28, start getting tired of barsluts/hippie bitches. get engaged to a nice girl, get a solid middle class trade job. work hard and fast for 3 years. we started fighting and instead of trying to fix it i was knocking back a liter of whiskey a night. started cheating on her, i'm not sure how many girls i did that with.

after awhile i had nervous breakdown, i lost my job, my fiance and several friends. i ended up moving back in with my parents and losing a year of my life.

quit drinking. you will destroy yourself.

Well I was but obviously its hard to watch them when Im drunk off my ass. 14 and 15 though. No he didnt. I started it all he didnt even fight back but I kept hitting him I guess

kitchens are hell man, i had a boss at one point who would feed everyone shooters and redbulll "for moral" and just made the whole place awful to work at

Same age as my nephews. Careful man, I don't know what country you are in, but here you can get into some shit. Pedos are garbage but don't get into some shit yourself cause of vodka.

What did he doe to get the pedo designation

Some are a lot worse than others. I think the worst thing that really wore me out in the long term is every normie's SPESHUL OCCASION is my ridiculously busy night. And a FOH that can't manage to streamline a service despite ostensibly being hired for their people skills. And the fucking special dietary requests and fake allergies.

I really don't know if I would have been able to stay sober if I didn't move to AM prep. I worked service on graduation weekend after not drinking for a few days and all I wanted to do after the shift was hit the bar, get faced, and start a fight with a stranger but I went the fuck home instead.

I know this incident is what made me not wanna drink anymore. I cant get all fucked up and lose my shit or im gonna go to jail. He made two little girls aged 10-12 i think do shit to each other while he recorded it

>making a fool of yourself to random strangers
thank god for the internet because i can get drunk and shitpost at people without ever having to step outside. i've gotten pretty belligerent in public though. mostly my inner autist coming out when people argue stupidly and i tell them they're being stupid. that's an autist's version of a fist fight.

Different guy, how do you start a fight with dudes?

Start talking politics with libs lol

Fucked up shit. Know how he got out of it?

I've only gotten more angry as I've gotten older. Do people really get mad because you say they are stupid? I'm a hardcore INTJ so sometimes people just get mad at me for what I consider no reason

I drink pic related, I buy 6 packs. Usually 2 at a time, and since they are 16 oz if you drink a six pack it's the same as drinking 8 regular beers. It is just so accessible and with two 6 packs being $10 total I can't pass them up. Beer just makes me feel so good.

lol I didn't figure they would fight back

Done this at the bar. Told some old dude I liked trump and he called me a fucking idiot by the end of our talk he was cool and bought me a drink though.
Dont know the specifics but he for sure went to prison for a few years. It was a long time ago

I would usually drink 2 or 3 steel reserves. 1.48$ and 8% alcohol volume. Cant beat that

Last time they ganged up on me and they were all yelling at me and I had just had enough of hearing their shit so I headbutted one of them and spread his nose across his face. I had already settled my tab so I walked across the street into some shadows and called an uber before the cops could get there. The uber pulled in front of the bar and his friends were trying to pull open the passenger door while we were driving off lol.

yeah people generally get mad when you contradict them. i've had some good turnouts like with a guy who tried to show off how cool he was by talking about bitcoin. i corrected him and we started talking about markets. but most of the time you can't challenge a person's beliefs and self-perception without offending them.

No you don't understand your speech is literally equivalent to violence. OMG I can't even.

About a month ago I got kicked out of a bar and decided to wander around my neighborhood instead of going home. Knocked on the door of some random apartment were there were some people awake and asked if I could come in. After they told me to fuck off I passed out in some bushes and woke up around sunrise. I tried to pee in some house's backyard and ignored the fact that their dog was barking nonstop from inside the house which woke them up. Eventually someone opened the window and saw me pissing there. I just yelled out sorry and ran away.

When I first started drinking I used to just sit at home and listen to music and shit. Nowadays I keep going outside and one of these days I'm gonna get myself into real trouble.

Sometimes people who disagree can be be some great conversation material

How do you headbutt without it hurting like hell?

Alsio I'm just posting random images especially tits don't consider it an intillectually valid response

My story as well. This is why Im quitting.
Yeah he wasnt mean and wasnt trying to offend me. Good guy

This is the truth hey

My skull is harder than the cartilage in your nose?

Seriously though the dumbest thing you can do in a street fight is try to punch someone in the face you'll probably cut or break your hand more than you will hurt them.

Hey I am actually here for tits not for valid responses so keep it up

I only lost my shitty retail job and I didn't even have any FRIENDS or GIRLFRIENDS to begin with.

And I didn't even get fired. I just couldn't deal with the awkwardness after getting into some trouble at work (yelling at a customer, throwing up in a trashcan, and trashing the breakroom all in the same day), and told my boss that he needed to find a replacement because I couldn't stand working there any longer

Since I quit my job, my desire to drink plummeted after the first week . I really need to get out of retail. The same shit happened at my last retail job too.

I tapered off and used some OTC sleeping pills (diphenhydramine) here and there. I'm a pretty heavy sweater anyway, and the anxiety was pretty bad (feeling like my stomach was dropping), but other than that I don't have any withdrawal symptoms. I used to drink like a 6 pack a day.

>6 pack a day

whoa look at this hardcore substance abuser
