Started with Wine. Moved to brandy after dinner. A buddy is coming over soon so I will make some Manhattans. Wife is sipping on vermouth Rossi. Had a fantastic dinner and we are enjoying the evening. Why you sad bro?

>sipping vermouth
Shit I didn't know anyone did that unless they ran out of booze and were addicted. Vermouth tastes so awful.
I'm not sad I have it very alright at the moment but I want to carry the torch of the threads since the last one went out this evening over here. People get pissed off and say go to soc but this has been happening forever on ck and I truly believe it is the proper place to contain it.
>tfw things are suspiciously ok
That's happened to me before and then it just gets worse.

Vermouth Rossi and some club soda with a citrus garish is god tier and keeps you from getting too shitty. Slightly stronger than wine but not 40 proof or some shit. Try different vermouth's till you find one you like. Also try campari. it's a reset button for your taste buds. Wife is Russian, and when she was young her friends and her would buy vermouth (at the tender age of 14) at the liquor store and drink it straight.

I hope you all are doing well. I'm finishing this sixer of grapefruit IPAs (not too good), and I'm probably going to snort an ambien and head to bed.

Not necessarily sad, but next week I'm flying back home for the first time in a year, and I'm going to have to explain my suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization to my mother. I feel shitty about that.

I was sober 26 days until Saturday. Had 12 beers catching up with friends and 2 Kahlua and Milks when I got home (last little bit in a bottle was all I had in the house). Haven't felt like a drink so hopefully my continued sobriety will be relatively smooth.

It really doesn't stop there but the boat boarding was the worst part.

I have driven drunk many times but that is the way of life in the west indies. After 7:00 if you have not had a drink you are probably one of the 20% of people on the road who haven't had at least one in the last 5 mins.

It became clear to me again this weekend why I drink alone.

Went out with some friends and we all got drunk, and I ended up being a total arse hole to a couple of them and I have no idea why. This isn't the first time that I have made bad decisions when drunk with other people.

I fucking hate it, when I am drinking on my own (most nights) I just sit and chill with some music on or a tv show. Occasionally I shitpost here, but am generally nice to people.

I don't understand why I am like this. Must be an inferiority complex or something. Anyone else know this feel?

You don't get life-threatening withdrawals from 8-10 beers an evening. You get them from drinking half again that amount or drinking all day from the moment you wake up. Even then, it's absolutely unnecessary going to hospital when you can detox at home with beer.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been through periods of being chronically drunk for a week or two at a time, drinking day and night, usually a couple of 2 litre bottles of cider, sometimes as many as 4 or 5.

I haven't done that for about 8 months or so now, but I've managed to moderate my drinking without abstaining. I'm not sure what changed, but I came to an epiphany that I didn't need to stay drunk, and that it wasn't making my life any more tolerable. Since then I've been drinking only twice a week, but still getting smashed.

First drink in a month now. Alcoholism runs in my family, and I'm no exception. I felt completely lost and addicted before, but I genuinely feel like I own it now that I can get drunk without feeling the need to get drunk every night. There's still that lingering worry that I could relapse.

Sometimes I wake up feeling on top of the world, full of energy and confidence and horny as fuck. I feel better than I did the night before, more lucid and like the positive effects of the alcohol have increased while the drowsiness etc are gone. Even if I carry on drinking, the awesome hangover buzz will wear off and the fresh buzz won't be as good.

I get horrible hangovers like everyone else, but only if I drink until I'm paralytic and vomiting. Otherwise I feel good.

I drank way more than him daily for 7 years straight and blacked out basically every time, on top of being a really small, skinny person. I stopped cold turkey and was fine other than some mild DT's for the first day and just feeling exhausted/irritation for a while etc. I'm not saying everyone will be that way, but to suggest literally everyone who drinks a lot will go through life threatening withdrawals is silly. Everyone's body deals with shit differently.

The amount he drank was actually pretty tame compared to a lot of people I know who quit CT just fine .

furthermore, on that note: if drinking was a skill, I'd be really good at it. Like phenomenal.

stomach is rarely gurgly. but the mental haze is an absolute bitch for me; I forget what I was doing; I forget words; I involuntarily zone out and if it's bad enough, I'll even avoid driving. and if the hangover is bad enough, horrible anxiety about what I'm doing to my body.

So what I'm getting at here is: does anyone else feel so tired until they drink? I need to get to bed, but I feel so good right now. It's like the alch puts me into a manic mood or something. I just don't want to sleep. I just want to stay up and drink more and more and more.

High Life as your standard brew, eh?

Recently, I've went back to my High School roots and reverted to Busch Light. I love good beers like a nice doppel bock, porter, or balanced IPA. Hell, I live in Wisconsin, there are good beers at every single gas station.

It just seems that I've done the math. I plan my drinking on the time period. 3 Busch Lights equal 2 Miller High Lifes. I can extend my buzz for longer and not have to worry. Then there are the other perks of being more hydrated and it not attracting fruit flies.

Kind of off on a tangent, but it's kind of expected that I'm drunk posting this. Steel Reserver has always seemed like a bum's drink, but I'm not judging if that's all you got for the night. After all, I have a job. Price doesn't really matter as much as having beer on hand.

It sounds like you might be able to do some good, and you sound like a good person; a good command can make all the difference in the world. But sit on this decision for a bit longer. Do not believe a work that the comissioned recruiter tells you. You will be doing a few years of soulsucking work before you get to where you really want to be, unless your recruiter sets you up nicely.

I'm impressed you can get through 10 12 oz. Steels. I made it to about 7 or 8 and then have to go to bed.

Anyway, as far as drinking giving you energy, that's definitely what happens to me. I could be dead tired when I get home (and until I started taking a second antidepressant recently, that was every afternoon and evening), but the second I started drinking I suddenly had all the energy in the world. That's why it never worked for me to just have a few before bed. No matter how tired I am, I'm going to wake up, run out, and get more and stay up way too late before passing out.

As for the AD's, my combo is prozac and wellbutrin. It's really worked wonders for my energy levels. I now get up early in the morning naturally, something I haven't been able to do since my pre-teen years (twenty-plus years ago). And I don't feel nearly as tired in the afternoon and evening.

Beer in the shower after work, that does sound pretty awesome. I'm so unimaginative with my drinking routine. It's just sitting at the computer, shitposting and chugging cheap beer.

yeah i ran a ton in grad school, now i'm working and it's a bitch to run after work

i was on celexa and wellbutrin which seemed to work well, but the wellbutrin made my anxiety a bit worse which worsened my drinking

now it's celexa and abilify, which seems fine. i haven't drank on the combo yet because i'm like 20 days clean.

thinking about relapsing every night though...i just feel like i have zero actual pleasure in my weekdays if i don't drink

Anyone have recommendations for cheap shit to use when girls come over or for parties? My go to has been Svedka vodka because it's not terrible to shoot, but is there any better option?
Shit like Aristocrat or everclear are not options; taking shots of those is not worth their cheapness whatsoever.

In a PhD program, have lost all motivation. Working in a kitchen 35+ hours a week and considering giving up the degree and going into the industry.

Finished tonight's close and had a double gin & tonic then an okay ipa at the local hipster bar. Picked up a bottle of meh Syrah on the way home and now I'm contemplating what happened to cause my most recent significant other to end the relationship.

I quit drinking when I was having therapy 3x per week for 8 weeks straight. It was hella expensive, but raping my bank account. It solidified the fact that connection can replace addiction for me.

But it was expensive, and I realized that I didn't want to get better. I'm subconsciously suicidal, so I just want to die.

I really would expect nothing less. Starting new at any profession deserves to have all of the bullshit that comes with the position hoisted upon yourself. Really not too different than starting in any profession, and learning what the shit entails.

The dynamic of cherry Lieutenant of being over people who actually know what the fuck they're doing seems the most daunting aspect, though.

That's why you mix whiskey and bourbon with diet ginger ale.

I've really cut down on my drinking, but I've also cut down on my eating. A couple of strong beers or two shots of whiskey in diet ginger beer keeps me happy. I take a long time to get through em. Haven't been getting stumbling drunk every night like I used to. Been too busy with school and work for that. Also trying to be hot for the college girls. I'm sick of em, but I also love em.

I'm glad. I was going through a case of beer every two days or 750ml of vodka or bourbon. Felt like shit but also loved it. Gotta get good grades this semester. Can't fuck it up. Gotta balance booze with progress. Also taking a kinesiology class that requires two hours of weight lifting a week. Gotta do it gotta do it. Still get to enjoy my bourbon right now.

I am doing a very similar thing, in my 3rd year (out of 4) of university so my grades actually matter for a change.

Used to drink a lot of beer and bourbon in the afternoon / evening coupled with a lot of snacks. Decided to cut beer out entirely and limit bourbon consumption. Snacks don't go with whiskey anyway so that helps.

Even joined the gym, I reckon I can get to where I want to be.

Eating less is great, means the bourbon has a quicker effect and I end up not going through as much anyway

Later in the show another addictologist would state that healing personal wounds is more important than strict abstinence (which was called a dogma), provided that the alcoholic would be willing and involved.

On a side note, I did a one year third wave generation therapy, costed me €560 to change my life for the best. Choose your weapon carefully. I did not do it because of alcohol but I was on a very slippery slope with the bottle at that time.

I know that feel, man. That's pretty much my life too. And it's hard, having nothing to look forward to at the end of the day. Nothing you really want to do anyway. I find busying myself with non-fun stuff that gives me a sense of accomplishment or makes me feel less wretched about my life makes it more tolerable than doing purely recreational activities and pretending I'm having a good time sober. So I set a goals list for each night at the beginning of each week, and when I get home from work, I just keep busy until I'm tired enough to go to bed.

5 days sober so far
I know it isn't a lot but I'm starting to feel it pretty heavily. I'm coming off of 2 years.

Admittedly after the first two days, my head did feel better? Just more awake, I guess. But thinking on how I feel now, it's probably more just some vicious anxiety. I'm really stressed out and my girlfriend is coming up to visit me in a few days (we had planned this; she doesn't know about my sobriety yet as I wanted to surprise her). But I guess seeing her is just wigging me out to the point where I don't even want to leave my house.

I dunno, some of the more savory fruits could work fine with chocolate; e.g. Citronge Mango might actually be really good with hot chocolate (I'd cut sugar from the main recipe if I could though, the citronge is really sweet)

I made a fantastic sangria last night with a bottle of sav blanc, a few pours of midori, 3 passion fruits, 3 gold kiwis, a small can of mango nectar, and a splash of simple syrup. if you're looking for a refreshing bitch drink then this is it.

Trying what you're trying anon. Past two years I've felt a consistent undercurrent desire to drink, and once or twice a week I'd get shitfaced. Dealing with the increasingly rough hangovers and beginnings of the shakes.

This year I've done pretty well having a single mixed drink, or two or three beers. That almost subconscious desire to drink is still there, but I can abate it decently well. Keep up the good work, nothing pathetic in being proud of your accomplishment.

sok. Done the "5 minutes to 11" drive of shame many, many times.

One thing that's helped in the past is playing a decent FP action game to get me over that demonic 15-30 minutes at night, but I haven't been able to play a decent title in ages due to time constraints. I just hide a fith of emergency booze somewhere shameful and drink it if I miss store closing and hate myself.

Thanks m8 I fit into the retarded asshole category

I drink because I'm selfish. I have a great job but a 1 hour bus ride home, and it's so easy to consume half a bottle of vodka on that drive even with other passengers in my space. 2x 600ml bottles from coke vending machine and I'm set.

Yeah I am doing pretty well with that so far. Used to drink half a bottle of spirit (usually gin or whiskey) a night and a few beers.

Decided I needed to do something so joined the gym (really light "workout", not /fit/ tier stuff) and am down to between 1 and 3 drinks a night now. Also cut down what I was eating so it is easier to get a nice buzz without drinking half the fucking bottle.

If anything, my bank balance is a lot healthier. I think I am sleeping a bit better too although the first couple of nights were bad. It can be done, just hope I keep it up.

that sounds like shit. not only are you alcoholic but you're also ruining yourself with a pound of sugar, caffeine, and horrible preservatives

I used to have a nearly 2 hour commute home and never got booze for the road. Of course I would usually mix myself a couple of cocktails after getting home, but nothing on the scale of 1.5l of booze and coke. you need a better hobby, just load up your phone/mp4 player with something you can enjoy watching or subscribe to some series YouTube channel so that your time is better occupied.

I'm envious. I can't seem to go longer than a day. I don't even realize I'm doing it, and suddenly I've mixed myself a drink and have sat down and take a sip, then think, "Eh, fuck it, it'll be fine."

Several hours later I'm drunk as shit, opening another bottle of something, or cracking open beers. I can't read because my eyes can't focus so I'm watching anything on TV that makes me feel anything. Nostalgia stuff works well, but I find myself wishing I could feel like I did as a kid and end up crying and drinking while watching some blockbuster movie from the 1990s. I don't even feel drunk, just emotionally destroyed. I keep at it for hours, then wake up the next day after blacking out, take a shower, go to work, be a fully functional human being. And then back to it the next night.

The worst part is, I have money, I have a good girl, most things seem to be going okay. I just can't help but fuck up my life, though. I don't know if I drink to numb myself or make myself feel, but it's not good.

Flatmate has gone out for the evening and I have caved and decided to have a few drinks. Music is up loud, and the Bulleit is open. Might get some beers in later.

That is what happens to me every time I pour the first drink. My solution is to not pour the first drink. That isn't too hard if I have no alcohol at home unless I plan to drink that day. Sometimes it's unavoidable though (I ordered something and the bottle arrived a few days prior before I can use it) and those times I have to just try to forget the booze exists.

Keep holding onto that chip. I'm going to start going back to meetings too. I went on a date last night. It's the second time in two weeks I had a woman come home with me but got too smashed to do anything and she ended up leaving, presumably in disgust at my out-of-control alcoholism or the roach motel I call home, at some point after I blacked out.

Who else here finds alcohol a lot better than sex? I enjoy sex, but never nearly as much as a good binge. In fact, most of my most enjoyable sexual experiences were while drinking.
