>sober since a week >can't sleep more than 2-4 hours/night >tired and no energy all day but at the same time nervous and on edge >voice in my head constantly screaming at me what a fricking looser failure I am and that I should do something about it immediately
I really want to stay sober until the weekend but I'm not sure if I can make it.
Stop being a pussy. You do not feel that bad, and the longer you go without drinking the better you will feel about being sober. Your ability to find comfort outside a bottle will return.
in my head constantly screaming at me what a fricking looser failure I am and that I should do something about it immediately
Do you actually get delusions of hearing voices? I do too when I stop drinking after drinking heavy for a bit. I fricking heard a voice all last week and the condtant anxiety and never ending pounding heart and killer cramps everywhere. It's hell on earth but I made it through and so will you man,you just gotta pace yourself. I want to drink so bad right now but I'm dead broke so no choice but to live on this gay earth sober for me.
I am an alcoholic, but dry seven years. Life is way better but the want to escape never leaves. Life is by far better without drinking though. You either find your way to that conclusion, or you are going to die a drunk.
I drank a lot for about 10 days once, then went into moderate withdrawals, and while lying in bed in the dark I saw a man lying on top of a bookcase with 2-3 cats standing by him. Thought I was asleep and dreaming. Was kind of neat.
>Do you actually get delusions of hearing voices?
Not really delusions, just a voice in my head, like talking to myself quietly. I do this when I'm druk too but it's a lot more toned down less aggressive.
Go to the gym or go running. Get your heart rate above 130 for 30 min somehow.
Doing this already, but it only helps a tiny bit and very temporary. If I do too much sports the effect of feeling a little less bad vanishes completely.

I don't drink much actually (I'm a skeleton), just a couple beers as soon as I'm home and then a drink or another beer every 1-2 hours. I also normally don't have a problem with going sober for a day, but longer sucks.
That’s temporary and will improve day by day, and the first time you get some real sleep will feel fricking incredible.
The urge to drink will pass whether you drink or not. Hang in there.
>stop drinking because liver apparently damaged >have to keep going for blood tests >cut down to only drinking at weekends >last blood tests after doing this for 2 months said my liver results have gotten worse
I don't even know if it's worth bothering to cut back, that or they're lying to stop me from drinking again.
Apparently that is not the case. Your liver is continuing to degrade, so you should lay off it all together until you experience improvement... numbnuts. Good luck!
Drinks loads of water and eat proper foods during the week and still drink on weekends. Go for runs and stay in shape and then go for another test and see. If not just nip it in the bud for a bit.
I suppose I should accept my punishment for drukking too hard so that I can do it again one day

Had a solid 3 year stretch of no booze and then got severely injured, and I do mean severe and relapsed. Can't find the motivation to get sober again. Unfortunately I'm in such a good stable position that allows me to get away with drinking every night. I gotta do something quick.
You are not getting away with anything. You are making it so you cannot even depend on yourself. Get better. The only thing in life you can actually control is yourself.
I appreciate the support. I just have absolutely nothing to look forward to other than maybe seeing me family once in awhile. I'm stuck with this life till I die and I'll aways be alone. Having a6 pack in the evenings allows me to get through the night without staring at the drawer where I keep my gun. Yes i know that's ironically the booze talking but as you know it's a catch 22.
Use that then. Look forward to watching your family see you improve. Improve your life by small measures and watch that add up. There is a pretty straight path out of being a drunk.
Improve what? My health maybe for an extra 10 years of horrible nursing home living?
I'm not overweight, I run and work out.
My mood? Yeah, that is a benefit of sobriety. I'd just be in the same misery sober and more aware of how bleak it is.
I get it, do it for them... but that's not easy knowing you are only alive so they don't have to grieve. They know I'm a loser that will never be happy. I guess I'm just losing the fight right now. It's easy when you have nothing to fight for.

Start by cleaning up your immediate surroundings. Once you got that, you will be slightly more comfortable. From there, judge yourself honestly and determine what else drinking has allowed you to neglect in your life, then fix that next. It could just be cooking dinner. It does not matter. Improvement can become a habit in the same way drinking was.

moronic reddit advice. you can’t replace something you enjoy with something you don’t enjoy. you can do it for 1-3 months then you regress. you can only replace it with something else that you enjoy equally much, which sure as frick isn’t cleaning your apartment and other maintenance shit like that, since if you enjoyed those things as much then you’d already be doing them.

7 years sober frickhead... how about you? The notion is to make small improvments until life gets better than being a shitty drunk.

when i was 18 i broke up with my gf and i was so distraught i went to morrisons and bought a bottle of smirnoff vodka and waited until my parents were asleep and sat in my room drinking it and chainsmoking marlboros while watching twin peaks for the first time ever
incredibly comfy, i ended up doing it every night for a month and then i met somebody else
a month after that i met someone else
>go on a binge last night >wake up, feel fine >don't have work >have no want or urge to drink, drink a little bit and it just feels like too much work to get that drunk again even though I'm free to
It's like I'm immune to benders, I have to wait for my druk meter to cooldown
Okay, go to a Mexico or India and eat as much local food and drink as much non bottled water as you can.
Then take notes over how you feel the next 48-72 hours huddled near a toilet freezing your ass off but sweating out a liter of water every 20 minutes and having viciously bad vomit and diarrhea shits.
That will give you a pretty good idea anon
You stop getting hangovers after a while and will learn to control yourself when druk. At least I did anyway. I just feel a little tired and that's it
I need to drink about half a litre of vodka to even feel a slight buzz
Before I was able to stop, I needed to buy 1.75 l of vodka every 24 hours or I would shake shit and sweat too hard to function at all. If I did not have a high level of Alcohol at all times I was detoxing hard.
No, do a medically assisted detox. Go to your doctor, and get checked in to the cardiac unit. If you are detoxing you will present with heart problems anyway. They will monitor you for around 3 days and feed you benzos so you do not die. After three days you are pretty much out of the woods and not in danger of fricking dying.

Nta but no it isn't.
Alchohol withdrawal is the most deadly and dangerous withdrawl process.
Herion and benzos are more uncomfortable but they are way less likely to kill you than booze detox.

These threads always surprise me with how many people are overtly alcoholics on this site. I drink maybe MAYBE 2-3 times a year at most. It's fun socially but the taste of alcohol is so ass I can't imagine being addicted to it to the degree some of you are. I love being drunk though, it's fun as frick.

just say no. alcohol can't enter your body without your consent

you could just be rotting by now
they told me it would get better if I stopped, not that my liver would commit suicide
You did not stop. You still drink. You have to stop if you want your liver to heal.
Liver is the only organ that can fully repair itself. Just stop drinking.
I just want to be able to enjoy a few beers at the weekend still, my doctor didn't say that would do any harm
Apparently that is not the case. Your liver is continuing to degrade, so you should lay off it all together until you experience improvement... numbnuts. Good luck!

God damn what a shit /druk/ thread.
Who are you people?
Sober up anon.
I've been sober for 3 weeks now. When do the drink cravings end.
The weather is so nice now and this boomer lady I work with blasts country songs about drinking all day every day
They never end, but they spread out, and in the luls you remember the bad parts of it clearer than the fun parts. It gets easier, but never leaves.
Thinking about hangovers and stupid shit you've said and done really helps keep you from drinking when you get a craving.
>go on a binge last night
>wake up, feel fine
>don't have work
>have no want or urge to drink, drink a little bit and it just feels like too much work to get that drunk again even though I'm free to

I was like that for years bc of responsibilities and hating hangovers, but somehow I eventually got into daily drinking.
ill be driking friday
Pretty funny how the butthole of the internet has all these totally earnest do-gooders.
man just be quiet
close your eyes if you want quiet.
I drank the 50% bottom shelf.
Sensible decision with vodka imo.
i want to experience alcoholism

barr bubblegum
Yep
>I used to be White
I hate hangovers and the dumb shit I do when DRUK, but I also love being DRUK. Its tricky
Hangovers are tolerable at around 10 drinks. Anything more and I'm just in pain for days
If you still get hangovers you're not doing it right.
Yeah exactly anything over 10 drinks and its hard to wanna do anything after that.
Red Bali kratom.
Use only in emergencies because it doesn't help with hangovers, it eliminates them within an hour.

THAT'S THE TYPE SHIT I LIKE

I need to stop 🙁
I read the other day Tommy Lee was drukking 3 gallons of vodka a day at one point. I can't fathom drinking that much water
Before I was able to stop, I needed to buy 1.75 l of vodka every 24 hours or I would shake shit and sweat too hard to function at all. If I did not have a high level of Alcohol at all times I was detoxing hard.
so you taper by declining the dose 0.25 l every couple of days?
No, do a medically assisted detox. Go to your doctor, and get checked in to the cardiac unit. If you are detoxing you will present with heart problems anyway.
