Any other robots abuse alcohol to deal with life?
>been drinking for 2 years solid every day
>drinking 20+ cans of beer a night
>Recently tried to stop drinking a week ago
>Anxiety overload
>Started vomiting uncontrollably everywhere
>legs shaking, arms shaking
>Overwhelming fear of something bad happening
>Paranoid about everything
What's the best way to stop safely? I don't really want to go to a doctor about this.
Stopped doing that a while ago it really fucked me up.
Only drink 1-3 beers a night now .
Not so bad anymore.
Anxiety mostly gone can go outside and not die and control the paranoia.
Slowly cut down how much you drink and shouldn't be to many problems
you really need to get seen by a doctor get your liver enzymes checked out, and an ultrasound of your liver. I drank vodka excessively for a whole year and ended up getting fatty liver with fibrosis. Its mild...but i still havent stopped drinking beer. Dont worry, but slow down and get evaluated.
I drank pretty good yesterday, but today im sober. Ill be drinking tomorrow because i am a miserable sad fuck.
My issue is that I can't just have a few, I have to drink until I get shitfaced. I don't think cutting down will work for me it will have to be cold turkey I just don't wanna die from withdrawal.
You slowly stop bakayroo. You don't get DTs if you slowly stop. Your brain tries too hard to stay one while drunk constantly to negate the sedation so there's no point in trying to be permanently drunk. If you stop it goes into overdrive and literally you can die from withdrawal. You actually don't die from withdrawal from things like heroin but booze actually gives you seizures as your brain burns itself out when the sedative goes away.
>have to do cold turkey
Retard I should not even given you the time of day.
Damn, this thread is depressing
> Ill be drinking tomorrow because i am a miserable sad fuck.
your not on your own user.
Yeah Yeah i know the feeling bit really it's all down to cutting down how much you drink.
It will be really shit but pays off.
Getting drunk off less aftter a while is a grate feeling.
Then when you go all out it's total shit faced off a half a bottle of something stong some it lasts twice as long
Welcome to the world of people who drink to get though the there life.
Some have anime some have heroin and then some have drink
Dealing with is a funny way to describe your shitty slow suicide in installments by alcohol.
Is that 330ml cans or UK 440/500ml?
The most annoying part is that the alcohol helps the anxiety but also causes it. Bullshit
568mls, pint cans, it's amazing what your body can get used to.
Does alcohol turn your memory into shit and fucks up your brain? I heard that alcohol is a neurotoxin, so it should be expected that it wouldn't be healthy to your brain right? Any of you experienced memory loss as a result of alcohol consumption?
Life is depressing user. You think things are bad, but reality hits hard when you realize it only ever gets worse. Thats when you hit the booze.
Also this. I ask every day for God to kill me, but i guess a slow painful death is fine too.
This. The worst you can do is stop cold turkey.
And from what i know and seen, alcohol withdrawal is quite scary.
I have just been drinking beer most of the time now instead of hard liquor and i don't get drunk but it does the job.
But anyways, i'm not in the same situation as many of you regarding alcohol consumption, but i have family member gone through these same exact problems and it is really sad to see a person in that situation.
>that feel when memory was fucked since before i even started drinking and hasnt degraded since
Thanks mental illness.
They also say that alcohol increases the effects of mental disorders over time. Thats bullshit, I know first hand. Ive been mentally fucked and its been the same for years.
I'm too socially anxious about getting addicted to and abusing substances, so I only drink sparingly and I never do drugs. It's partly because I was raised to never do drugs and not drink until I was 18 and I somehow took that to heart.
I'd never take drugs, I know they'd ruin me more than alcohol already has. I still feel I'm young enough to get away from this without dying from it if I stop soon.
But yea, any drugs I'd never touch because I know I'd end up awful.
Yeah. Got into cider making recently to subsidize going to bars and shit. It will be about 75% cheaper to just make alcohol in bulk if one were to buy it from the store, and way cheaper than going to the bar. On one hand, no more human interaction. On the other, I save money and no more human interaction. I suppose my liver will handle what my heart can't, and when that fails, hopefully I die of heart disease or cancer. Here's to the slow decline, lads.
Gods pisses down your back every day, but he only drowns you once.
>Here's to the slow decline
fuckin A. Thats the story of life.
cheers user have a good one.
Also fuck captas I seem to not be able to notice hills right now
Best way without doctor is AA.
Best way with a doctor is AA and suboxone. Possibly "Sinclair Method."
But I'm saying this as someone who gave up on giving up.
When you try to place a bottle on the ground and hear *cling*
Fuck, I meant naltrexone, not suboxone.
im so tired of helping people
but get a prescription for clonidine and naltrexone
first drug lowers blood pressure. second drug eliminates alcohol cravings.
youre welcome
For the past year and a half yeah. It's not black out drinking but I use it so I can fall asleep and forget about things. Helps make the rough days easier.
start tapering dude. i was up to 20 a day and i got insomnia and brain zaps when i tried to stop. i also woke up a few times randomly gasping for air. it was really fucked up. google taper schedules and try to do that
Naltrexone is amazing. It completely removes my desire to drink. I'll pour myself a nice cocktail and then just forget about it doing something else.
Yes and on top of that I am morbidly obese
Yeah I have tried AA. For me it would only maybe work if there was actual desire to stop drinking and attending all male meetings. My hatred of women mitigates any effect co Ed meetings have
The really question is why is it hard to stop drinking?
Is it because it's fun or the more we drink the happier we feel? or the more we forget. Would be nice to know
Everything is better, simple as that user.
Genetics combined with inferior ability to cope with life
I'm working on this..I need to otherwise I'll die. I've been drinking pretty hard, every day or every other day for the past few years. I'm only 25..fuck.
I dont get tremors ever, I can eat fine, no real sides other than anxiety and poor sleeping when I stop.
I have pre hypertension/hypertension, gained 20 lbs. This is no joke. I knocked every drug off but the booze.
Same situation here man,
What have you been trying to do to kick it and what keeps you coming back?
Distraction from pain. Alcohol is a literal anesthetic. The muddlingnofnthe memory is also good too. Looking forward to the final Big Nap.
I've been doing nothing to try and kick it. I keep pushing it saying I'll be done next week, when I finish this semester, when I get this job, when I move into a new place. It just rolls over, no discipline.
Seems what has helped before was working out, and focusing on whatever I can other than drinking. When I get that urge, take a sleeping pill or a muscle relaxer and doze off. Not healthy either. I know what I should do, its getting past the first few weeks. Similar concept with cigarettes or weed, get past the first few waves and keep on trucking.
Glad you know what to do,
Ive cut back a bit sense moving to a new place but I still give in to the urges
It's almost like I'm trying to relive when drinking was enjoyable and comfy, but now it just makes me miserable. Yet I still give in. Most of the time I'll have a few drinks and remember how shitty this is and stop.
I think I can do it without help, I've quit other addictions by myself but this one is putting up a fight.
Sounds like you are right there. I wish I could give more advice but different things work for different folks. Wish you the best. If you want, drop your discord.
not daily but several times a week i get black out drunk
has all the beer made you fat yet?
It did at first, then I stopped eating because I'd rather spend money on booze than food, I've lost about 40lbs in the last year
Is that not hard on your stomach?
i tried heroin before alcohol so alcohol didn't seem so great in comparison. it is nice though
>my hatred of women is interfering in my recovery
>nah, why would I give it up?
Yea, get acid reflux err day now. Vomit most mornings
Alcohol is the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted
for me its all about forgetting. Yeah i drink to feel good and to be happy, but when im Really drinking, its becauase i fucked something up somehow.
> I drank vodka excessively for a whole year
how excessively
it felt like a handle in 2 days every other 3 or 4 days. I took breaks and abstained for a few weeks at a time, but i was always back to the bottle.
>drinking is my only respite
>suddenly develop condition that drinking will agitate
>can't drink anymore
what now
ive got fatty liver disease and fibrosis bro. Im bout ready to crack open a tall natty daddy. YOLO
no seriously. abandon all hope for a good life. Im autistic and mentally fucked and even physically. At this point im ready to die. I couldnt care less.
I drink daily. Used to get fucked up having nearly a litre of southern comfort a night but after starting anti depressants now only drink 6 or so cans each night.
I abuse weed more, i get stoned as soon as i wake up then top up every 2 hours.
Lost my job recently and need to move back to my mums but she doesn't want weed in her house. I can't do life sober, I'm just waiting for death to take me. I can't tell her that. Got about a month left at the house I'm renting then i don't know what's going to happen.
how long have you been drinking everyday?
go to doctor. alcohol withdrawal is more dangerous than heroin withdrawal.
