Alcoholics ANONymous

yes, I drink 2-3 beers a day, 6+ on weekends. I used to drink 6-8 literally every day up until 6 months ago.

>Have you been to AA? I had a friend tell me its mostly court ordered and most people end up going to the bar together after every meeting. Do you just walk in or what?

sounds like a great way to meet a bunch of drunk loosers that will bring no good to your life.

How down bad are you? Do you get alcohol withdrawal symptoms like shakes and shit? If so the you're probably nowhere near as bad as half the average AA meeting enjoyed.

>Have you been to AA? I had a friend tell me its mostly court ordered and most people end up going to the bar together after every meeting. Do you just walk in or what?
You can just find a meeting and walk in. Most people are there because of court order, or spouse is going to leave them, or kids are worried and shit like that. Being forced to go to shit like that don’t help, if anything it is depressing and enabling. The whole “you are too weak to quit drinking” shtick puts people behind before they even get started.

>sounds like a great way to meet a bunch of drunk loosers that will bring no good to your life.
95 % Accurate. I've never met a single decent person at a bar. Some of them are okay, but I've encountered more pathetic sad sacks than anything else

I wouldn’t think a couple beers in the evening is a problem. 6 to 8 is definitely a problem. If you are cutting back from 6 to 8 a day then you are making progress. Cut back to 1 and then try skipping days. Doesn’t seem to be a problem though. Actual addiction is something much different I think.

>Do you get alcohol withdrawal symptoms like shakes and shit?

No, I've never experienced delirium tremens in my life.

I went a week without drinking last month it was very hard for me to do, that's what made me realize how badly addicted I had become to the liquid Jew.

>I've never met a single decent person at a bar.
makes me think about this looser I met when I was 25 at a bar, I got in the car with him he was going to take me home got pulled over and got a DUI, I walked home. Scared the shit out of me that I was so fucking dumb to get into the car with a drunk as stranger like that.

Same here. I have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol. At one point in my life I was sipping on a bottle of gin or vodka at work all day, finish it after work, and wash it down with a 40oz of steel reserve. That was over ten years ago and i quit with zero withdrawal symptoms. I should probably just stop.

God damn man, I've never drank at work or in the morning, it's a rule that I set for my self at about 19 that I've never really broken. I've had the occasional bloody marry or mimosa, but that's very rare and I never get drunk off that.

You are one of these cunts that gets offended at the mere mention of the shakes. You are "too good" to go to meetings. So you just came here for confirmation of you eliteist faggotry. You belong on reddit you little bitch. I bet you are of Idian descent and you think you are better than the other street shitters. Go fuck yourself.

That's one thing I will not bend on. I refuse to drove drunk, but I did let my drunk gf at the time drive my car home once and she totalled it. I take 50% responsibility though...I knew I was way too fucked up to drive, said I would call a cab, and she insisted she was sober enough to drive. Next thing I knew I woke up to the contents of everything under my hood coming through the dashboard. Pretty lucky to be alive desu

>ten years ago and i quit with zero withdrawal symptoms. I should probably just stop.
Why don''t you and thisfaggot get a room and suck each others dicks while you larp on the chongs.

no bro I'm white, and I don't drink till I black out, I get good and drunk then stop, I know my limit, its pretty high, but I don't cross it. Blacking out is for retarded 19 year old's, not people in their 30s.

i drink like a motherfucker....it ruins me each day more and more, but its only after about 9 drinks i feel absolutely content and happy with my lot in life....i know im fucked...but i dont even want to stop...i havent had 3 days off in 30 years

Look into the Sinclair method. It can actually help deprogram your addiction to the booze. You can actually go back to normal with the right treatment. You don't have to got to meetings or join a pseudo cult or anything.

I've driven drunk many times in my 20s, very fucking stupid thinking back on it.

I was a line cook. It's pretty standard to be nearly permanently intoxicated because it's a high stress/low pay job. They pretty much feed you booze to keep you going because your life sucks and you're poor no matter what what for at least 5 years.
>You are "too good" to go to meetings.
Red pill me on meetings then. I'm genuinely interested.

listen, you have to want to quit drinking, otherwise it will be virtually impossible.

This. Such a lot of people like this. They think they are superior to other drinkers, you gonna think like that until you fuck up. You're probably too Young and think you're going to be ok forever. I did it.
I have problems with it, dont need It everyday, but every weekend. Its like, when It gets to saturday my brain clicks and I need It. I drink way too much and then forget about stuff.
Lost great job, hottest and kindest wife gf of 6 years (+10 years friendship) and ruined my life because of It.
Now coping with depression and guilt is even harder, since im trying not to drink. I did go to a AA meeting once. It did felt liberating at least since at least I could speak with someone without the guilt and the "JUST LEAVE IT BRO!".
