Barely slept the first 4 days, couldn't eat that much, diarrhea a couple of times a day, irritable as fuck. First two days I could barely get out of bed.

Weird how much more productive I am even after a week. Starting reading again, walked my dog, made some pretty good dinner. It was tough over the weekend though. It's sorta boring, but I'm enjoying getting back into reading.

No, I'm talking about a constant fear, an all-encompassing terror. It's not just in your mind, you can feel it in every cell of your tense, sweating, heart-pounding body as well. Every terrifying thing you can imagine seems terrifyingly real - your family is about to die, you're about to go to prison, you're going to be fired and be homeless, everyone hates you, you have cancer, monsters are real and are about to make you rim them - every awful thing, your own, personal hell - whatever is most horrifying to you personally, suddenly feels like it's inescapably imminent and worse than you could ever have imagined. There's absolutely no escape other than fuckhuge doses of benzos or another sesh on the bottle. At which point you feel absolutely fine again. You can immediately escape and feel awesome, just by relapsing. It's a proper fucking nightmare trying to get through that exit barrier. The fear is absolutely inescapable even if you do manage to realise that it's irrational.

It's more than that. It's not rational. It's hard to describe. It's like feeling electric.

I remember once I was looking at my hands and i had a panic attack because I didn't recognize every single crease in my hand. A fly could go by your head and you would jerk your entire body. You can't sit still, but you don't want to move either.

Just imagine being on the edge of a panic attack going "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck", tipping over into panic attack, and then back to the precipice for hours on end and knowing that slamming back a few beers or shots could keep that feeling at bay.

That's the fear. Like they said. You'd know.

Yea I don't know, I've never experienced the fear and I drink quite a lot I think. I have been drinking heavily every weekend for about 2-3 years and too often during the week as well, though I've avoiding multiple days (3+) of heavy drinking pretty consistently. Only failed twice. The closest I've gotten to something like "the fear" is when I've had a lot 2 or 3 days in a row and I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop myself from drinking again the following day. It's a sort of irrational fear but I've always been able to overcome it without too much trouble.

>>10240926

At least for me this is absolutely not true, otherwise what you guys are referring to as "the fear" is some pussy ass shit. I've gone 3 days MANY times now. I definitely get this sort of elevated anxiety where I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop drinking if I choose to, and in general I just get anxious and afraid of how life is going, but it's honestly pretty mild and pretty easily overcome by just distracting myself until it passes.

What you guys in these threads describe as "the fear" is a completely incapacitating thing that is like, an order of magnitude more severe than anything I've ever felt.

i was talking about withdrawals. takes 72 hours for your nervous system to stop flooding itself with adrenaline.

>> No.10240979

>>10240955

I mean yea that's basically what I've been saying, I've thankfully not gone as far as some of you guys.

Yea, I've noticed that 3 days are the sweet spot for withdrawal. Two in a row gives me nothing, but three will definitely give me withdrawals. Then the severity of withdrawals increases, but relatively slowly. If I do 3 days in a row I'll have WD for ~2-3 days, but then the next step up is doing a week bender which will stretch the withdrawals to 4 days with maybe a weak 5th day.

Anyway the discussion was about "the fear", which I've heard a lot about but I really don't think I've ever experience or come close to experiencing, and I'm really curious when it actually happens.

idk what everyone else means by "the fear" but I use it to refer to the mental state I find myself in that I use alcohol to escape from. Things like how my life turned out, tfwngf, poor health, shitty job, poor outlook on life, dying friends, things like that that I can forget about for a while if I get loaded. Sure I still think about those things while on a bender but good old liquor makes it go away.

It is different for everyone

Typical early warning signs include
>be sober for a stretch of time
>have 2 cheeky pints
>wake up with much unnecessary psychological distress

Like what you described having.
But that is pretty much reversible with time.

In the latest stages of the phenomenon you end up damaging your brain irreparably.
There is no set amount of wds you have to get to reach that point as it all dependent on how well you took care of yourself during the benders and how clean the wds were.

It's not a set science man, it's gradual and slow and most of it can be reversed except in the late stages.

The key is staying drunk. If you let yourself get sober and mostly recover from any hangover you might have before getting drunk again you will probably never get chemically addicted, meaning no withdraw, so no fear. If you want to avoid it follow the simple rule: never drink to recover from drinking.

Years ago I was dating this woman named Rebecca, Literal 9/10 with daddy issues. She had the perfect personalty and was a real ride or die, If I told her to go rob a bank she would have asked which one. Her dad was an alcoholic as well so she put up with my drinking

Eventually I stupidly cheated on her after 4 years and got caught, She stayed with me after a big argument. A few months later I did it again and got caught

She left me and eventually started dating another guy, Became a RN, and got married.


Googled her about 3 months ago and the feels hit me like a ton of bricks, She's still so fucking sexy. That was literally the only woman I've ever truly been in love with

What would you say to me since I'm a 28 virgin. I'm not being confrontational at all, like just what do you think about that.
After all this time I'm really distancing myself from thoughts about even wanting a girlfriend. I feel like I want sex at times but what does it really come down to besides just an instinct. I get along alright being alone, but it sucks that I've lost a lot of my sense of romance from when I was younger I think.

>> No.10243846

I would say you’re in the same camp as me. I’ve been with the previously mentioned gf for 4 years and it’s boring as fuck. When I look at my friends (I’m 29) they’re all losing the spark in their relationships and life in general, we all just take on this gray malaise. It gets more depressing looking at married men that have been beat into a corner their whole lives as I work with a few and ask them questions just like you asked me.

You can look for answers through mgtow, incel, red pill, or whatever circles but no one really has it all figured out. I see it as romance is nothing but youth and hormones, the rush of dating and fucking goes away and just becomes work and suffering. Your life experience and hormones dropping tell you that you’ve seen it all before, and this bitch next to you still refuses to wash dishes in a decent time even though you pay all the bills, and she wasn’t like that when you met.

Hope that helps

This just made me realize something. The Internet is literally going into adulthood. By that I mean there's a certain age range that has been on the Internet since childhood but is reaching the age now (30's) where we've seen enough to know that a lot of the ideals from youth don't last and aren't going to actually be a part of our lives. Yes there's older people on the Internet but we all know that words don't teach these things, you just get there with age. And there are younger people on the internet, but they haven't lived long enough to begin understanding fully. Angst isn't the same as what I'm talking about. The Internet is becoming jaded with life. It's what happens when you get older, and the biggest chunk of Internet users is reaching that currently. I dunno just a dumb thought. You'll see I'm right in five years when you fire up 4chin and every post is somehow more depressing than they've ever been! I love being right!

Are you aware of which thread you're currently in? When you're a little drunk and socially awkward and the girl who rents the spare room in you and your gf's apartment gives you a hug and then starts kissing you when you hug her back, it's pretty hard not to go along with it. That's happened with three different girls for me, and I'm the furthest possible thing from normie. I'm in my 30's and have literally never once initiated anything with a girl; like not only sexual stuff, but I've never even asked a girl out before.

The 'fear' youguys describe sounds similar to when I had a psychotic episode from smoking 4-6 grams of weed a day, plus casually drinking every day.

I was abroad and spent nearly 4 weeks doing this everyday at a bar/coffeeshop type thing, saw someone change into a famous person from a distance but didnt think anything of it in my state. The next evening I decided to get plastered instead of smoking weed and thats when it all went downhill.

I was convinced that people I were talking to were spooks, and the following day, ddint get much sleep, didnt eat properly, went back to the bar and had a beer, and some joints, and wasn't really functioning properly. People were telling me I was ruining my health and shit because I must have looked like ass. I bought some CBD to clear my head, but after a while on the CBD I started to panic, left the bar and got lost, got some food, got panicked and thought people were after me and rang some people i'd befriended and properly scared them with the crazy paranoid jabber.

After what seemed like an hour of running around in sheer panic I ended up going through a glass window, getting arrested, taken to hostpital bleeding like fuck with serious injuries, then spending the night in a cell, couldnt sleep, didnt know what the fuck was going on it was horrible.

The next day I was walking around aimlessly for a while, still convinced about the spook thing, I saw people's faces change into that of famous people and then change back. A friend came and got me and I stayed at his place and went cold turkey off the weed (first time in years) and booze.

Was going hot and cold, sweating, thinking all sorts of crazy shit. Went back home, and saw a MH team and a psychatrist, had racing thoughts, talking about what I thought id experienced etc and was medicated with anti-psychotics. Took a week or two for em to work, I was pretty elated for some reason during this time, then they kicked in and had a comedown when reality kicked in.

I've never asked out a girl ever being 28. I had one girl who wanted to fuck me once, I was in bed with her two separate times and I didn't go all the way with her to full on sex because I just didn't feel right about it and my nerves were completely fucked. We never did anything together besides meet up for parties, I knew her well enough but I didn't know her seriously and never went on any dates with her. She would have let me fuck her, and believe me I was drunk all the time and I never ever get nervous when I'm drunk, but the nerves still bled through the alcohol when I had two chances to have sex with her.

I beat the shit out of some guy last night.


First fight I've been in since college (I'm 32).


I was in Baltimore with my younger sister and some dude walked up and started asking for her number and then grabbed her tit and I flipped..I fucking lost it.... I literally blacked out for a minute despite only having "maintenance" amount of alcohol in me and being no were close to being drunk... I punched the guy and when he dropped to the ground I kept punching him until I came out of the blackout of anger. Not sure how many times I hit him but his face was covered in blood and my hand is cut to shit.

I beat that guy worst then any fight of my entire life. Was paranoid as fuck all night an dday today that the police somehow got her tag number or someone reported it (I know he didn't, he was a thug) as we drove off.


I never knew anger blackouts were real until last night, I thought that was just a made up thing.


I'm almost 99% sure I broke at least one bone in my hand, It's swollen and sore as fuck

Not a great story, but assholes need to be dealt with. He likely won't do that again. If he can speak or breath enough to attempt it.

The older I get, the less I feel sorry for assholes.

I'm not a angry or violent person but something in me just snapped, I honestly can't remember the last time I was that angry. I think it was the fact he touched my little sister that put me over the edge and made me snap like that

I felt bad for a little while then told my older brother what happened and he convinced me to feel otherwise.

I still kinda feel bad for reacting so violently, But at the same time I kind of feel it was justified. It's a mixed bowl.....

Fuck thugs regardless of what race they are. All gutter niggers in the end no matter where they come from. They don't deserve any help from anyone or the government, they should just die off.

Sexual assault should upset people. You were just hosed, and possibly over-reacted. It happens.

I agree man, Any race can be a nigger. But I bet you could guess which race that piece of shit I beat last night was.....

>>10245413
I'm glad it doesn't happen often, It takes a lot to make me mad. But I just flipped last night....Idk what it was...The sexual assault part or the fact it was my sister, Idk.

But I agree that I overrated, I could've hit the dude once and GTFO of there but like I said...I just blacked out for a moment and the next thing I know is idk how many times I hit this dude but my hand and his face was covered in blood.


Like I said...Anger blackouts are a real thing apparently..

I spent the weekend binge drinking and now am sick as fuck. I'm not experiencing anxiety this time but my stomach is upset, I am hungry but haven't eaten in two days because I know I will just puke it back up. I also have one beer left in the fridge but I definitely cant drink that.

I need to quit tomorrow and just eat the insane dreams and few days of weirdness that ensue. I'm not physically addicted but it's still no fun quitting with nothing to replace it.
