This thread is for alcoholics. You don't want our advice. Please stay away from booze if you start to feel you can't control it.

Nice work anon.
I recently managed 10 days dry which is a record for me for the last decade.
My neighbor downstairs saw I was on the wagon so he offers me a nice bottle of whiskey. I refused but got it on my mind so the next day I bought 2 bottles of wine. That was 6 days ago and now I’m up to 5 bottles a day. 6 was my former usual day.
Strongly thinking of trying AA. Sounds tough though, talking about your addiction. I want to hide from it. I hope I get into financial trouble ASAP so I can try again and actually quit for good.

Seems like you self-medicate with the alcohol, to shut down other issues, am I wrong?
Self talk is normal when you are stressed out, don't think you are crazy for worrying about stuff, it shows you are looking for a solution. Use whatever it takes to set small short term goals, so you can feel your going in the right direction, you have to get "addicted" to achieving short term goals, and they will add-up.

Yea it's essentially self medication. Idk i remember people would talk about how the "first time they got drunk it was like everything was bright and beautiful for once". That wasn't my experience, it just made things more tolerable.

The first two weeks I did a full body cleanse from Whole Foods. It was essentially just fiber, milk thistle, and laxatives but it got me to the two week mark. I originally intended on drinking after the cleanse, but I felt dam good so I said I’ll drink the next weekend. Next weekend rolled around and I was still feeling good so I said next weekend again. This kept happening so instead of saying next weekend I started saying when I felt like it I would start drinking but I kept loosing weight and feeling good. All of the sudden I was sober for over four months and I just decided to keep the streak going. There were definitely times when I wanted to drink, but I recognized the urge and it passed. I got really into eating healthy which not only helped me loose weight, but also just distracted me from drinking. You can do it too just start with one day sober and go from there.

I think that's pretty rare with booze. I had a retarded doctor who prescribed me lorazapams (90 a month) for several years. I was a retard for not stopping them myself early on but I was truly hopelessly addicted. My pharmacist abruptly cut me off (saved my life) and I was able to get a small script of Valium to taper to prevent a seizure death. Still am suffering 13 months later, though it's a hell of a lot better than it used to be.

The worst is premature ejaculation from it. I could fuck fine before, and while I was taking the meds I was perfectly capable, but ever since I stopped I fucking touch my dick while jerking off or fucking and I'm done. It's horrible and nothing i have tried can fix it.

You're right to say PAWS lacks scientific backing, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

You’re actually not sleeping well when you drink beforehand. Alcohol doesn’t allow your body to reach all phases of the REM cycle so you may think you’re getting a solid sleep, but you’re not. Drink a ton of water, take some Benadryl, and just close your eyes. Once you get a few nights of non alcohol induced sleep you’ll feel the difference.

I feel like I have finally got a grip on my drinking. Stores close early around here so at 19:00 I get some beers and then I’m fucked until the next morning if I want more.

I find it easy to buy a sixpack or less when sober. The madman only kicks in after a few drinks.

If I find a hidden bottle at the house I will drink it all though. What matters is restricting availability.

I was diagnosed with depression years ago, but have been self-medicating since even before then. I can't make myself go to therapy, and hospitals can basically only treat symptoms or get you in touch with a social worker, and social workers are fucking useless for these types of thing (not that they aren't helpful, just not for treating depression). I've tried quitting many times and every time it ends the same. I have a mental breakdown and have to get back on the sauce. Also, the last 2 years I've had horrible withdrawals whenever I tried to kick the habit. Endless sweats that smell the worst, itching all over, general anxiety, nausea, flu-like symptoms (I tell my boss/coworkers I'm sick all the time. They probably know the truth though), insomnia, the shakes, and the dreams. Oh, the dreams. I don't sleep so much as have waking nightmares of the worst kind. They're fucking horrible. And varied. I have all manner of different dreams in which I die horribly. Could be I've been crushed by a bear backing up into me against a wall. Could be I've been shot. Could be anything. My dreams are the fucking worst, and because I'm only about half-asleep, they seem like reality. I've actually asked the people I live with whether certain things have happened and they look at me like I'm crazy.

Listen to me, folks. Listen up, and listen well: Booze is no game. If you can't do it in moderation, don't do it at all. That shit will fuck you up, not just in your liver, kidneys, brain, and GI tract, but in your fucking waking or half-waking moments. Just don't fuck with it. I can't stop because the withdrawals are so bad. But you don't have to get where I am.

Bojack Horseman is one of the best shows ever created, and is al/ck/ as fuck. The best part about it is that it only gets better and better the more you rewatch it, because there is so much going on in the background, and it probably has better continuity than any show ever made, where an off handed comment in season one gets recontextualized multiple times across the (up to now) four seasons. Seriously, it works on so many levels that you can put it on in the background and it will be just as entertaining/depressing as it will be if you pay attention to every little detail and get completely wrapped up in the amazing characters.

But yeah, it comes off as stupid seth mcfarlane garbage at first, but it's really dark as fuck, and more real than any live action series I've ever seen. If you want to wallow in your own downward spiral of self-destruction and self loathing, there's nothing better than Bojack.

Not that I don't still get drunk, even blackout drunk, but the longe ryou drink, the more "functional" you get when you do drink.

Had a fifth last night and was still able to let my boss into the office when he called me at 9 in the morning to let me know he locked his keys in the office.

In my own life, I've found that as long as I can make rent and I'm not in agonizing pain, I drink as much as I please. That does mean I've taken on a mostly vegetarian diet though, to compensate for the beer.

No one can really help you quit until you really want to. And then you have to be ready to go through hell. Because it WILL be hell. But it's worth it. Tell me more about yourself and maybe I can offer some advice.

If you were an alcoholic, you'd understand. We DO see ourselves in the mirror. That's one of the reasons why we hate ourselves. Also, for someone who's really addicted, a 10-day sober streak is pretty damn good. It doesn't get the job done, but it ain't too shabby. Imagine not being able to get through a day without drinking. And when you do stop, you turn into a sweaty, shaky mess who's paranoid, can't sleep, and can't concentrate on anything.

Honestly I hardly even get “drunk” drunk anymore. It’s all maintaining. I only wild out when I’m hanging out with friends, and even then I’m always the last one up (because of fuck ass tolerance).
The worst shit is when I can’t get a glass of ice water for my vodka in the morning, because I spaghetti every handful of ice I try to pick up. Gf/friends didn’t think it was that bad until I actually had to ask for help.
Otherwise, I’m pretty confident things will work out. I just need to find some benzies and taper down.

Almost 6 months no drinkin/smokin weed
Been running since (even while drinking though not as much because hungover all the time)
Got a 1:41:43 half marathon time yesterday (pic related)


Anything is possible bros, AA is bullshit, just find what is causing you to drink and deal with it. Mine was being underemployed and bored all the time. I just worked at being a better person, worked a shitty job for 3 months then had the opportunity to get a new job with a lot better pay/opportunities and took it. Also tackling boredom is probably the hardest part but it is totally possible. Especially if you manage to get a full time job which will take up most of your time. Not going to quit forever but have no desire to go back to drinking every-goddamn-day. I do plan on smoking weed again regardless but again, not anytime soon. Try the sober train boys, shit is rough at the beginning but it gets better. A day at a time bros

dehydrating is horrific. i'm still traumatised by having broken my phone and laptop, having shitloads of vodka, but no food or water and ataxia so bad that i couldn't walk to a tap. eventually after 3 days (same as you, it gets INTENSE at 3 days) i crawled/slithered/fell/broke shit/did anything i could to get to water. got to a bathroom tap and drank like fuck. instantly everything hurt, stomach, head, whole body, mind, everything, and slept for fuck knows how long. after that i made sure i had water available all the time. no matter how much of a chore, i'd always have water by my bed, and ate a lot of watermelon and bananas. i later found out that the neighbours had put a note in the door threatening to call the police if i didn't stop screaming. didn't even know i was.
my next relapse will probably do me in too. i keep thinking that though and here i still am. sometimes wonder whether i actually died and this is hell.
