What a life

When you hit 150units a week

You need to sober up and re-read that.
How long do you need to refrain from drinking until you're no longer an alcoholic?

I wonder if that user from the other night who was a year sober decided to start drinking again

This is actually what they are like. They Always relapse, always, and do so multiple times.

Stopping drinking, i dont understand?

I've been in some of these threads and am 7 months. I legitimately have no desire for booze now.

Sounds like you need a nice ice cold beer friend

If you keep relapsing you're one of those that are an alcoholic forever and shouldn't drink at all. Yes even if you don't drink for 10 years you might easily go right back into another few years long bender.

I fucking hate this shit man.

I drank way way way too much and have had insomnia the past few days. I think I've slept a total of 4 hours. I just want to fucking sleeeeep

Sorry to hear it user, the drink takes us all eventually

I've made it through almost the entire footy season without one. Only a month and a bit away from the whole season. Will be the first time doing that in 19 years.

Get drunk

Junkies aren't human, man. Whatever that thing is, it long ago stopped being your dad.

t. child of two alcoholic, dead parents.

Just one beer, for old times sake

that's the withdrawal, it's normal. usually why when I plan on sobering up I do so on weekends

Why did user's drunk dad turn into a skeleton?

I have become DRUK, drinker of beers

>life is so fucking boring sober its unreal
>Congrats – you're sober. It will take a while for your body to remember how to metabolize anything that isn't sugar from alcohol, so you're going to be pretty ravenous soon. Eat plenty. You can expect your coordination and balance to improve in a couple of weeks. In two months, you might start sleeping like a normal person. Full recovery will take years, though. It’ll be depressing. And it’ll be boring. Don’t expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.

My dad is usually a pretty smart guy, hes funny, and he always had really good advice when I was lost in life. But when hes drunk hes just this husk. A stammering blabbering idiot who loudly embarrasses himself to peoples amusement until he crashes out on a chair and pisses himself.

I both love my dad and fucking hate his guts at the same time.

>Full recovery will take years, though. It’ll be depressing.
Oh no, user, it takes the rest of your (shortened) lifetime to recover.

Congrats buddy, you should treat yourself with a bottle of some nice bubbly champagne. You deserve it.

I hate to say it guys but its time to take the sober pill

You're overdoing it, everyone has that thought anyway

Been there brother. What a shitty life that is.

Whatever for?

This is why I can't quit, those post-binge insomnia bouts are too fucking brutal to handle especially with a job. I would rather just show up with a headache or even drunk than try to do my job after not sleeping for two days.

That's the functional alcoholic trap. There's even a thrill to it at some point, maybe I'll get caught, laid off and finally reach the bottom. But it doesn't come, yet.

Taper off over a few months

I thought for sure I would get caught at some point. I thought it would end in some kind of intervention, even romanticized the thought of it sometimes. Rock bottom never comes other than in private when you're shitting water for hours straight wondering what the fuck you're doing to yourself and you've got sharp pains everywhere around your gut. Good times. I do miss how easy it made it to be a schmoozer for people I can't stand sober though.

Hey this is my pasta dont post other peoples stories you sad fuck

Me too
I hate being a 30 yo boomer

Just getting drunk with my bros everyday having mad parties, what a time

i saw the bottom coming up when i was drinking about a liter of vodka a night after work and going back in the next day
have since barred myself from hard liquor and only drink beer
~14 beers a night over 4-5 hours after work, wake up no hangover feeling fine and go to work
have done this for several years with no known health problems (of course my insides are probably broken)

I dont know. I called day later and apologized but he was kinda apathetic since they were his new football shoes and now we haven't talked in a month. I feel kinda bad.

Bro 15 beers a night is not an improvement lmao

Druk makes friends but Druk also destroys friends

>But when hes drunk hes just this husk. A stammering blabbering idiot who loudly embarrasses himself to peoples amusement until he crashes out
My dad becoming the same when drunk is what pushed me harder than anything to quit. It didn't phase me when I'd blackout or piss the bed. The car rides home with dad drunkenly wondering why we were mad at him for the most recent embarrassment caused at restaurant or bar got through to me. Worst part is next day sobered up he'd play it off as just having fun because I guess having his sons drag him away from causing fights in public is his idea of a good time. A good wake-up call to me to break the habit even if I was a small social drinker whose worst incidents were, ah see there's the excuse, not as bad sure, but put things in perspective being on the outside looking in. At World's End was fun alcoholic movie.

>down to ~23 units of alcohol a day from 40 is not an improvement
you wot m8

I get what he's saying, beer hangover is not the same as vodka hangover, even though it's supposedly still just alcohol. I've tried that but I drink beer too slowly and end up on 7th beer at 1am, so I just made a point of downing a handle before 10pm. Goes down easier mixed with tonic or grapefruit juice.

Its better but you still gonna die man

Depends on the person, could be a couple weeks could be a couple years

>that was 15 years ago
>we've all moved on completely losing touch with each other

The best of friends and best of days are all fading memories. Sometimes I want to drive back out to that place and walk the same grounds, like maybe if I step in the perfect spot I'll travel back in time- into my 19 year old body. And all these years since will have simply been a bad dream.

peaking in hs/uni when discovering alcohol is what happens to many kinda fun to be around but ultimately loser type guys

Go for a walk/jog/run every morning, it'll put you into a great mood

go OMAD and DO NOT eat after a drinking session
i'm losing weight while drinking ~2k calories in beer a day

Fuck it, you guys convinced. I'll be a drukbro again. This sober shit is hell. Cheers!

Thank you, sounds like great advice.

GIGA BASED DRUK GOD

OMAD?

Think I'll go for a walk in the woods. There's a nice park not far from my house. Thanks bros.

~6 months sober here, drank 3/4th a handle per day for ~3 years. Have no urge to drink, life is better now that I've begun to confront my underlying issues through a systemic therapy and the pharmaceutical jew. Currently at my girlfriends college grad party, everyone is drunk and I really bored, these are the only times I have the urge.

Just one little drink wouldnt hurt user

just barfed a couple hours ago, i hate rum and cola
next time im drinking just rum

Be careful in the woods user, you never know what creep is hanging around

I wouldn't worry about it

rip bro

Everytime I think that, 4 months later I'm knee deep in druk and end up in the hospital again.

Rum hurts my tummy

This time is different, its just one nice ice cold beer

how the hell do you guys end up in hospital? does someone in household call the er on you when you can't get out of the bed?

THE DRINK IS SeTTING IN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD YEAHHHHHHHHHH BOYSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Seizures. Not the same for everyone, but I'll get so deep for so long that just forgetting to drink in the morning will result in a seizure with next to no withdrawal symptoms leading up to it.

alcohol withdrawal?

I've drank everyday for 3 weeks straight and i honestly feel like my brain doesnt work anymore

seizures as in complete incontrollable shutdown? hardest i get are insomnia/hallucinations(mostly sounds)/shakes/sweats. manageable on lonesome. maybe I'm just not fucked up enough yet. still, your case makes sense I suppose.

if you can buy alcohol how can it not work?

True i guess but i keep on zoning out and i feel like i've lost the ability to think

do you not get any brilliant ideas while druk that you normally wouldn't have?

No its the opposite for me i become a potato when i drink

I'll start to shake violently, my limbs will get stiff, I start choking on nothing, and ill get extremely panicky, after about 45 minutes I'll actually start to seize. By the time I begin shaking it is too late and it happens without warning, even if I were to down 10 shots in one go(which I've done before, to try and stop the seizure) it won't stop it. Luckily, my gf was with me the first time, and all subsequent times, I was able to see it coming and call the ambulance myself. Probably would be dead otherwise.

What are you asking? Yes, alcohol withdrawal.

Have you considered not drinking?

what a life!

I rarely think I just have last song I heard on radio stuck in my head on loop.

Anyone else get really drunk and play sad songs untill they cry themselves to sleep

It's not the way you act, it's the smell.

I came to a probably not a groundbreaking conclusion that ease of relapse comes from fact I don't really remember the bad times. Sure it was somewhat bad, I think, but I don't remember. Then of course I don't really remember how good it was beforehand but it sure seems more alluring than what comes next when I don't drink.

Sounds comfy bro, you think you need to stop though?

After 5 days without drinking I had a terrible argument with my family and I couldn't resist the temptation. With my head in my hands I sit now and cry. I was such a handsome man before I became an alcoholic. I gained 35 kgs (maybe like 60 lbs in American) ever since the vairus and the lockdowns started. I've paid a gym membership and I'm starting on monday. The anxiety always attacks me at 7 pm so my plan is going to the gym at 6:30 and try to get as tired as possible to fight my demons and go to bed early.

I fucked up lads. 7 months sober and I've gone and fucked it up tonight.

Attached: 1450680394775.gif (233x226, 1009.69K)

i've drank 12-16 beers every single day for 5 years (previously ~1L vodka for 5 years), except for 4 brief periods of sobriety in the past 10 years, the longest of which was 2 months.

I always wake up and feel like shit, swear i'm done drinking and then by 5pm all i can think about is the coming beers

sometimes. my favourite is playing the song that played when I first danced with my hs gf and it's not really a sad song. fuck that was 13 years ago.

Sounds like you need a drink friend
