Alcohol and benzodiazepines are the only two drugs that can kill you in withdraw. Because work similarly on the central nervous system. Basically go
into seizures or stop breathing. They usually give your monitored amount of benzos in detox. I know like ex alcoholic had to do that
He's correct. Alcohol withdrawal was known in the 1800s with the medical label of delirium tremens. It means that alcoholics that stopped drinking for one reason or another started trembling and hallucinating, this was a signal that they would die soon.
He wanted to die though and you see how bad his withdrawals are in the film.
So yes they're worse than dying depending how deep you are into alcoholism.
>Why didn't he just stop drinking?
Alcoholics are a worthless pain in the ass. They make all other junkies including injecting opiate users and meth heads look classy in comparison
They are unable to function without booze in them because they despise themselves for all the horrible shit they have done but think that other people won't be able to tell they are assholes with booze in them. That and they have convulsions like someone having an epileptic fit when they withdraw
I've been watching a friend slowly kill himself with booze for ten years. He became such a belligerent asshole who lives off the good graces of his elderly parents that I can't bring myself to care anymore. He has every opportunity to improve and the support structure to do it and he keeps choosing the bottle each day. Everyone in our circle has tried to help and he flips out. Drunks are the most entitled douchebags and I feel no sympathy. Everyone deals with hardship, boredom, fear, etc and has to keep on trucking. That's just life you gays. It doesn't matter how much you justify it, romanticize it, or think you're cool like some heckin' based artist who used it to be creative or something. Everyone hates you and will be relieved when you gracelessly expire.
You're literally jealous that he's getting more attention than you.

His parents are codependent and probably the reason he can’t stop drinking. It’s on him for not getting the fuck out of there, but with friends like you though I don’t blame him for not caring about life.
It's hard to watch someone slowly kill themselves for so many reasons. It sucks that there's no "right" answer when it comes to helping them, because ultimately the choice is theirs. When you help them, it's usually a waste of your time and energy. When you don't help them, chances are you're losing whatever remnant of a friendship you had left while they continue to rot.
My least favorite part of addicts is the lying. It wouldn't be so bad if the drunks in this thread and elsewhere just admitted "I'm a drunk, I haven't even truly had a good time using in years, but I don't know what else to do. I use irony and sarcasm as a defense mechanism because I'm scared of change, even when I'm aware that changing this pattern is the only way I can ever make steps forward in life."
Instead, it's dudes sipping Steel Reserve or plastic bottle vodka at their desk in the morning, fresh (dirty) pants now adorned after changing out of their piss-soaked previous pair, telling you they're cool and you're not.
No drunk is ever convincing past a certain point: they all reach the same level of incompetent slob who reeks and they hang around there for years until liver failure. The "coolest" drunk who seems to have it together the most is Bert Kreischer and that guy's a stupid hack, begging to die early and drunkenly forget all the important events in his kids' lives.
Drunks are obnoxious, lying dickheads.
Either a liar because you did read it all, or by not reading it you're shielding yourself from what we both know is true (lying to yourself). Either way, thanks for proving my point.
I have always admitted that I drink because I'm miserable, and that I hate drinking but it's the only way I can quell my mental illness demons inside which, ironically are no different if not worse if I'm sober. I hate it. I hate it all. I don't want to drink, I don't want to be plagued by loneliness from my mental illness, and yet it's the only way I can feel even a modicum of relief, even if temporarily and tomorrow will be no different before I finally bite the bullet, literally, because I can take it no more.
Where's my help, gay?
It's good you're at a point where you realize that your usage is no longer "helping" (it never truly was, of course).
Now comes the next step, the no one can "help" you with (gay): stop drinking.
You've already identified it as a major problem in your life and you've seen what happens when you try to use it as medicine against your mental issues: nothing good. That "modicum of relief" is beyond a doubt as strong as a fart in the wind, anon. Its cost continues to grow while the effect diminishes. It is only holding you back.
You can only begin to fix your life while you're sober. Really, that's it, the booze has to stop. It will take awhile, but things will balance out. You won't hit the "highs" your brain is telling you are at the bottom of a bottle (they aren't, haven't been there for years), but you'll also stop waking up with horrid anxiety and guilt wondering what stupid shit you did in your blackout stupor.
It's natural to enter the bargaining phase where you tell yourself "Well if I X, then I can drink again" and this is obviously all junk. You've done that, seen where it goes, it's worthless. No drunk (or user) like to hear it, but you've gotta get sober. Nobody can do that for you. It WILL be uncomfortable, if you're too deep you should taper off as safe as possible, but you'll only be able to figure things out with a sober brain. That's a fact.
alright drukbros. Need to make a choice here quick.
College girl friend, last time we spoke, early last year, we left on very sour terms because I was going through a mental crisis. She said she didn't want to talk to me anymore, but yet, after all this time, she still has me added as a Steam friend. I see her come online at least once a day now. Not gonna say I'm in a better space mentally, but at least I'm not a NEET anymore.

Dude, I was on board a ship for 60 days. No drinking. It didn't help. I realized that sober or drunk, I still have a chronic emptiness that is only filled by somebody else. Hence the nature of my mental illness. Drinking has nothing to do with it.
I'm not even an alcoholic. I don't really actually drink that much, and rarely do I actually get drunk enough to the point of vomiting or blacking out. But I sympathize with the people who do, because life truly is abjectly fucking shit. It's lonely, and despite how much we, people like me need help, VERY few are actually equipped to help in the way that is NEEDED. All advice enters into the same space of empty platitudes that work for a normal mind, but not for an abnormal mind. So get the fuck out of here with that shit.

60 days is good, but then you did nothing to change anything else? Sobriety is the first step, it'll allow you to pick up the pieces. Getting to a doctor, trying out therapy (group or solo), exercising, eating better, trying new things, connecting with fold friends you distanced yourself from, etc. >I'm too smart for "empty platitudes"
Have you actually *done* any of this? For a long period of time? It sounds like your sobriety was pointless because you did nothing with it. What you're saying is you walked into a gym, stood there for 60 days without touching anything or moving, then walked out wondering why you're not shredded and got mad at me for it.
Working out is the best example of putting in effort to make progress. For weeks or months you may see close to nothing, you only feel sore and wonder why you're doing this. Yet everybody who is ripped is telling you that's what they did, how can that be, you're not getting there?? It takes time. It's not "fun", in fact it kind of sucks sometimes because that's life. Know what sucks harder? Being a miserable prick who lashes out at people who've put in the time and effort to make progress.

I have BPD. You have no idea the demons that torment me, making it so hard to do anything at all. And yet I still persist. I have to for the sake of my so-called "career". And you try to take away this comfort for me, whereupon I suffer equally as much, if not moreso sober. Getting a little lightheaded at least allows my mind to not be so stupidly fixated on the source of my pain. I was closer than I ever, EVER was to actually killing myself for real 2 weeks ago.

There are other solutions than booze: that's simply the truth. Drugs are appealing because they have effects immediately. They also don't really "work", they're only temporary and they work at a cost, always finding a way to take more than they give. It's unsustainable 100% of the time.
I'm not taking it away, first because I can't stop you from drinking. Second, I'm just telling you I don't like liars and won't stand for it. I'm proposing you trade in a habit that's literally poisonous for a harder, more rewarding journey that won't rot you from the inside out.
Booze won't always stop those voices, anon. Sounds like it's time to take proper care of yourself. Good luck, bud.

Called out my buddy for having like 4 empty tallboys around his work desk and he raged. I wasn't a huge douche about it but he clearly took it personally since he knew he was losing it. The cycle of high stress -> alcohol -> high stress -> alcohol is brutal to break.
No his home office, he's in sales and is constantly in jeopardy of losing his job for not making quota. Getting smashed is his solution, first it was during the weekends, then every day after work, then finally during his shift. Basically became alcoholic dependent in the course of two years.
Used to be like that and got myself not invited to a lot of social gatherings because of it. But I got it under control and have regained most connections and made a few new ones.
By got it under control I meant being a downer in public. Im still drinking as much as ever.
Kids are hypersensitive to behavioral changes in their parents that is brought on by alcohol or drugs. Even if you're not an angry drunk, you are wrecking them. You'll see the result when they get into their late teens. And make no mistake, you are at fault
The world dragged me down. I didn't ask to be the only white kid in a hispanic school and have everyone shit on me. I didn't ask for my step dad to beat me. I didn't ask for every relationship with a girl to devolve into her treating me like I didn't even exist. I didn't ask to be born male and for the world to hate me for it. I didn't ask to be treated like this. If the world wants me to be miserable then I'll be miserable.
I agree to a certain extent with this sentiment. Addiction doesn't exist as it is understood as substance use disorder or in the 12-step framework. Insofar as diagnoses should contain indications for a condition, addiction is best understood as a trauma syndrome. That said, addiction's etiology of an essentially hijacked limbic system is very real.
To anons who have elected to post ITT for the sole purpose of ghoulishly hating on people who drink or who experience a problem with drinking, I invite you to engage my earlier post:
I guarantee you that you cannot refute what I've said. Maybe you could learn something, though.
Too many big words there, unironically. But I will say that "addiction is an incurable disease" is a pathetic cope. And the idea of it being generic is silly, too. It can easily stem from trauma, drink a lot after a bad thing happens, etc... after all, alcohol does fuck your reward pathways up, right? Eventually you end up drinking so much all the time and don't even remember how you got there.

I get that I may have been a bit wordy there, but I was specifically implying the opposite of "addiction is an incurable disease." That is what I meant by
>Insofar as diagnoses should contain indications for a condition, addiction is best understood as a trauma syndrome.
Basically, for a disease/diagnosis to have an "indication" means that it has a viable treatment plan, or cure. In this case, where addiction's cause is physiological/emotional trauma, that is eminently recoverable, but the framework for getting that done is unfortunately not common. picrel.
>alcohol does fuck your reward pathways up, right? Eventually you end up drinking so much all the time and don't even remember how you got there.
This happens via the brain's limbic system, which is a part of the unconscious/reptile/nose brain. It's the survival drive. Substance use compulsion is driven by the same part of the brain which informs us to perform primal drives like eat food, drink water, sleep, and fuck. An addict is compelled to take their drink or drug because their brain is telling their entire body that it's essential for survival.
damn how much were you drinking?
last time i stopped i felt fine after 48 hours, was sober for a good 5 days but ofc i didn't plan on quitting so i started drinking again

I quit weed cold turkey after using it in some form daily for over a year, I do have an ativan prescription though so that helped. I only drink like 2-3 times a week lately, used to be every other night.
Not him but I've stopped before with no side effects. Those times are rare. Most times it's either intense physical side effects or intense emotional ones. The emotional ones are worse imo. It feels like you've just been through a terrible break up. A drink will fix it though... I'll never be able to stop.
It was a hell of a way to go. That's how his dad went out, too, though I don't know many details about that other than he was a monstrous drunk who drank all the time.
>two unopened ones.
Perfect, one for you, and one last bottle for him
alcoholics ranked by how pathetic they are:
1. genuine retards who don't realize they're losers and actually think it makes them cool (pathetic)
2. alcoholics who know they're losers and don't hide it (very pathetic)
3. the ones who know they're losers but use ironic detachment to pretend they're like #1 (the worst of all)
DTs are a motherfucker and unless you’ve had a moderate case of them it’s hard to describe.
It is possible to taper off on your own but it takes a lot of self control/revulsion to not go overboard and end up back on the earthrock express .
i think i had moderate DTs once
i was tapering off in a best western and i kept hearing construction that wasn't happening. there would be knocks on my door, and nobody would be there.
i heard "chop suey" by SOAD audibly, as well as inarticulate screaming from someone who wasn't there
kind of horrifying tbh, it calmed down after several hours
i'm still riding the earthrocker train but i rarely work up more than a buzz anymore, and if i want to get actually drunk i try not to do it more than a couple nights a week

Pretty sure I'm feeling that. Back on the Milk Thistle for me.
I drank a whole bottle of vodka last night over the course of about 4 hours and barely felt it. Woke up without any hangover at all. I'm in my 30s and have consumed about 50-60 liters of pure alcohol (beer, wine, liquor) per year for the last decade.
I need to stop drinking this much, this can't be right. Damn my heritage.
he was drinking entire fifths of vodka when he woke up so he would just black out within 2 hours and sleep for like 5 before getting up and pissing from both ends
how could someone even physically do that to themselves if they wanted to die
I'd get some more booze but i've spent a bit too much money on it recently, not too well as pc parts, aircraft for DCS, birthday presents, etc. Still have two beers left in the fridge at least. I must pace myself which means they'll be gone by 12pm
AA is a highly moralizing system which will most likely lead you to dehumanize and demoralize yourself, then prostrate yourself in front of god and the people you've harmed. That approach does work for some, but not most. If you attend and practice, and it helps you reach your goals, then do it.
That said, AA/NA absolutely spurns any considerations of harm reduction. For those who cannot get "clean" from the 12 steps' limited approach, they can be very harmful.
AA just seems depressing as shit and my life is already depressing as shit. I've tried listening to other peoples drunken horror stories here and on shit like Soft White Underbelly and it's been mildly helpful at best.
At that point why not just embrace hard drugs? Booze self destruction at that level is just sad. Booze is for slowly ending oneself over decades so no one can say you actively suicided like a sadfag.

Adding you on steam without saying anything seems like her bare minimum of assuaging any guilt on her end
Just my thoughts, say hi if you want to, but if she added you with out saying anything I feel thats just teasing/mean
>Adding you on steam without saying anything seems like her bare minimum of assuaging any guilt on her end
No, it was an add from before our fallout. She never just unfriended me, like some other people did. Incidentally, she never responded to my twice sent Linkedin connection invite, so take that as you will.

My hs best friend. Only asked him about our hs reunion a few years back and that was the end of that. I realized that we have changed too much and no nothing about each other anymore, like the ending of IT.
That shitty book has one of the worse endings ever made. The book in itself is not great thing either but at least it's more enjoyable than anything after the prologue of The Stand. But that ending is so shitty that just made my reading those huge shitted blobs of text (almost 2 thousand pages on the edition I had) such a waste of time that I never read anything from that hack ever again. fuck that gay and his "word diarrhea".
When you finish a bottle of beer, you want another. When there's none, you drink a whiskey or vodka, until you either sleep or pass out. After you awake, you start drinking againd.
It’s been 10 months since I stopped drinking. My head feels clear and I have zero physical need to drink. I just miss it. Cut out weed 2 weeks ago too because of course I just went to another vice. But nah, I’m bored of it and it’s time for a break. It’s amazing how many people get offended or angry towards you when you tell them you’re not drinking. That brain fog and cloud of depression that hung over my head while I drank is gone and i feel good
Every time I even just cut down on my drinking I keep remembering all the relationships I've ruined. And I remember her. And even if I distract myself and go a day without remembering her I dream about her. They're more nightmares. My life is hell. If it means I die then fine.
It's sad how some of you act like teenagers going "wooooo drinking is awesome" meanwhile you are in your late 20's or 30's or older. This is how people act when they are 17.

The main reason I drink is because of my girlfriend. My life is pretty great other than that, she just makes more money than she costs so I keep her around. Women are annoying to be around.

It's obvious that you are lying and drinking alone on a weekday and I am simply pointing that out and you show guilt every time you desperately want to flip it back to me. It's a tell tale sign. If you ignored me or simply said no before then it would be more believable but you fucked up.

He clearly was. If he was sober he would have let it go and not responded or simply said no and let that be but he clearly felt guilty.
because withdrawals are a nightmare
Worse than dying?
withdrawals can in fact kill you
Alcohol and benzodiazepines are the only two drugs that can kill you in withdraw. Because work similarly on the central nervous system. Basically go
into seizures or stop breathing. They usually give your monitored amount of benzos in detox. I know like ex alcoholic had to do that
He's correct. Alcohol withdrawal was known in the 1800s with the medical label of delirium tremens. It means that alcoholics that stopped drinking for one reason or another started trembling and hallucinating, this was a signal that they would die soon.
He wanted to die though and you see how bad his withdrawals are in the film.
So yes they're worse than dying depending how deep you are into alcoholism.
I recently tried to watch this and shut it off after about 8 minutes.
>Why didn't he just stop drinking?
Alcoholics are a worthless pain in the ass. They make all other junkies including injecting opiate users and meth heads look classy in comparison
They are unable to function without booze in them because they despise themselves for all the horrible shit they have done but think that other people won't be able to tell they are assholes with booze in them. That and they have convulsions like someone having an epileptic fit when they withdraw
he thristy
That's only about a month's worth for him. Trust me.
because you were filtered
I saw a dream where some woman came swinging at me so I threw a jab. I wake up realizing I really punched the bedside drawer.
There are only lies behind it and he knows... oh boy he knows
I enjoy drinking but hate being drunk.
imagine the shit-chuckle the pool boy got out of this lol. pool-boy because pool-girls don't exist also girls can't into-humor ammirite boys?
because what a life
He wanted to die. Entire point is the movie.
One of the only accurate portrayals of alcoholism in television and films imo.
Bad Santa did ok.
What's on the menu tonight, druksisters?
meanwhile in reality drunks are miserable bozos that drag down everyone around them
sure because their surroundings were great to begin with
so easy to trigger boozebags lol
>trigger
Oh I mean but oh and hey let's what
I drunk drive every day
You can't trigger a drunk by calling us drunks. We know what we are.
all the people around me deserve it
since when?
I've been watching a friend slowly kill himself with booze for ten years. He became such a belligerent asshole who lives off the good graces of his elderly parents that I can't bring myself to care anymore. He has every opportunity to improve and the support structure to do it and he keeps choosing the bottle each day. Everyone in our circle has tried to help and he flips out. Drunks are the most entitled douchebags and I feel no sympathy. Everyone deals with hardship, boredom, fear, etc and has to keep on trucking. That's just life you gays. It doesn't matter how much you justify it, romanticize it, or think you're cool like some heckin' based artist who used it to be creative or something. Everyone hates you and will be relieved when you gracelessly expire.
With friends of yours I'd use the bottle too
T. Alcoholics
We know. That doesn't have the effect you think it does esl.
i'd slowly kill myself with booze too if i had to hang around people like you
jealously: the post
c o p e
you do it regardless and will use any justification to excuse how much of a pussy you are
You're literally jealous that he's getting more attention than you.
you're either a woman or on chudshine.
not him and nobody is jealous of degenerate alcoholics. you losers simultaneously whine about wanting to die and hating life while also having enormous opinions of yourselves. alcoholics are bottom of the barrel stupid
pure sigma behavior
I'm the friend. Can't stand this whinney gay
>Everyone deals with hardship, boredom, fear, etc and has to keep on trucking
Telling that you didn't include addiction lol
The point of the post is that addiction is a lazy degenerate cop out to those problems. Stop gazing at preteens on Tik Tok and work on your reading comprehension.
That's such an idiotic inside of the mental capabilities of an alcoholic. Nobody gibes a crap about your life and never will, you're not interesting dude
*view Oh, I meant beer
>That's such an idiotic inside of the mental capabilities of an alcoholic.
What?
>You're not interesting dude
Never claimed to be and not relevant, but whatever makes you feel better
Addiction isn't a choice no matter how much you want to scream at it. It's never worked.
Kek you really just said
Whoops, meant to tag
>who lives off the good graces of his elderly parents
His parents are codependent and probably the reason he can’t stop drinking. It’s on him for not getting the fuck out of there, but with friends like you though I don’t blame him for not caring about life.
It's hard to watch someone slowly kill themselves for so many reasons. It sucks that there's no "right" answer when it comes to helping them, because ultimately the choice is theirs. When you help them, it's usually a waste of your time and energy. When you don't help them, chances are you're losing whatever remnant of a friendship you had left while they continue to rot.
My least favorite part of addicts is the lying. It wouldn't be so bad if the drunks in this thread and elsewhere just admitted "I'm a drunk, I haven't even truly had a good time using in years, but I don't know what else to do. I use irony and sarcasm as a defense mechanism because I'm scared of change, even when I'm aware that changing this pattern is the only way I can ever make steps forward in life."
Instead, it's dudes sipping Steel Reserve or plastic bottle vodka at their desk in the morning, fresh (dirty) pants now adorned after changing out of their piss-soaked previous pair, telling you they're cool and you're not.
No drunk is ever convincing past a certain point: they all reach the same level of incompetent slob who reeks and they hang around there for years until liver failure. The "coolest" drunk who seems to have it together the most is Bert Kreischer and that guy's a stupid hack, begging to die early and drunkenly forget all the important events in his kids' lives.
Drunks are obnoxious, lying dickheads.
Tldr
Either a liar because you did read it all, or by not reading it you're shielding yourself from what we both know is true (lying to yourself). Either way, thanks for proving my point.
It's good you're at a point where you realize that your usage is no longer "helping" (it never truly was, of course).
Now comes the next step, the no one can "help" you with (gay): stop drinking.
You've already identified it as a major problem in your life and you've seen what happens when you try to use it as medicine against your mental issues: nothing good. That "modicum of relief" is beyond a doubt as strong as a fart in the wind, anon. Its cost continues to grow while the effect diminishes. It is only holding you back.
You can only begin to fix your life while you're sober. Really, that's it, the booze has to stop. It will take awhile, but things will balance out. You won't hit the "highs" your brain is telling you are at the bottom of a bottle (they aren't, haven't been there for years), but you'll also stop waking up with horrid anxiety and guilt wondering what stupid shit you did in your blackout stupor.
It's natural to enter the bargaining phase where you tell yourself "Well if I X, then I can drink again" and this is obviously all junk. You've done that, seen where it goes, it's worthless. No drunk (or user) like to hear it, but you've gotta get sober. Nobody can do that for you. It WILL be uncomfortable, if you're too deep you should taper off as safe as possible, but you'll only be able to figure things out with a sober brain. That's a fact.
Ask her how she's doing and stop drinking.
>Now comes the next step, the no one can "help" you with (gay): stop drinking.
>all the rest of this shit
Dude, I was on board a ship for 60 days. No drinking. It didn't help. I realized that sober or drunk, I still have a chronic emptiness that is only filled by somebody else. Hence the nature of my mental illness. Drinking has nothing to do with it.
I'm not even an alcoholic. I don't really actually drink that much, and rarely do I actually get drunk enough to the point of vomiting or blacking out. But I sympathize with the people who do, because life truly is abjectly fucking shit. It's lonely, and despite how much we, people like me need help, VERY few are actually equipped to help in the way that is NEEDED. All advice enters into the same space of empty platitudes that work for a normal mind, but not for an abnormal mind. So get the fuck out of here with that shit.
60 days is good, but then you did nothing to change anything else? Sobriety is the first step, it'll allow you to pick up the pieces. Getting to a doctor, trying out therapy (group or solo), exercising, eating better, trying new things, connecting with fold friends you distanced yourself from, etc.
>I'm too smart for "empty platitudes"
Have you actually *done* any of this? For a long period of time? It sounds like your sobriety was pointless because you did nothing with it. What you're saying is you walked into a gym, stood there for 60 days without touching anything or moving, then walked out wondering why you're not shredded and got mad at me for it.
Working out is the best example of putting in effort to make progress. For weeks or months you may see close to nothing, you only feel sore and wonder why you're doing this. Yet everybody who is ripped is telling you that's what they did, how can that be, you're not getting there?? It takes time. It's not "fun", in fact it kind of sucks sometimes because that's life. Know what sucks harder? Being a miserable prick who lashes out at people who've put in the time and effort to make progress.
YOU are holding yourself back, not me.
I have BPD. You have no idea the demons that torment me, making it so hard to do anything at all. And yet I still persist. I have to for the sake of my so-called "career". And you try to take away this comfort for me, whereupon I suffer equally as much, if not moreso sober. Getting a little lightheaded at least allows my mind to not be so stupidly fixated on the source of my pain. I was closer than I ever, EVER was to actually killing myself for real 2 weeks ago. That was sober.
> And you try to take away this comfort for me, whereupon I suffer equally as much, if not moreso sober.
There are other solutions than booze: that's simply the truth. Drugs are appealing because they have effects immediately. They also don't really "work", they're only temporary and they work at a cost, always finding a way to take more than they give. It's unsustainable 100% of the time.
I'm not taking it away, first because I can't stop you from drinking. Second, I'm just telling you I don't like liars and won't stand for it. I'm proposing you trade in a habit that's literally poisonous for a harder, more rewarding journey that won't rot you from the inside out.
Booze won't always stop those voices, anon. Sounds like it's time to take proper care of yourself. Good luck, bud.
I have always admitted that I drink because I'm miserable, and that I hate drinking but it's the only way I can quell my mental illness demons inside which, ironically are no different if not worse if I'm sober. I hate it. I hate it all. I don't want to drink, I don't want to be plagued by loneliness from my mental illness, and yet it's the only way I can feel even a modicum of relief, even if temporarily and tomorrow will be no different before I finally bite the bullet, literally, because I can take it no more.
Where's my help, gay?
read the Bible, fren
Life is a piece of shit and you make it worse. I'm not going to get better with people like you in the world.
Called out my buddy for having like 4 empty tallboys around his work desk and he raged. I wasn't a huge douche about it but he clearly took it personally since he knew he was losing it. The cycle of high stress -> alcohol -> high stress -> alcohol is brutal to break.
>4 empty tallboys around his work desk
In his home office or at a workplace kek
No his home office, he's in sales and is constantly in jeopardy of losing his job for not making quota. Getting smashed is his solution, first it was during the weekends, then every day after work, then finally during his shift. Basically became alcoholic dependent in the course of two years.
Ah. Probably better with his pitch when a little cut.
Used to be like that and got myself not invited to a lot of social gatherings because of it. But I got it under control and have regained most connections and made a few new ones.
By got it under control I meant being a downer in public. Im still drinking as much as ever.
Funny, when I'm drunk is the only time that I'm nice to my kids.
No offense but the thought of anyone in this thread with children is absolutely terrifying.
You are in no way refuting his statement, anon, and that's coming from a pathology apologist.
Kids are hypersensitive to behavioral changes in their parents that is brought on by alcohol or drugs. Even if you're not an angry drunk, you are wrecking them. You'll see the result when they get into their late teens. And make no mistake, you are at fault
The world dragged me down. I didn't ask to be the only white kid in a hispanic school and have everyone shit on me. I didn't ask for my step dad to beat me. I didn't ask for every relationship with a girl to devolve into her treating me like I didn't even exist. I didn't ask to be born male and for the world to hate me for it. I didn't ask to be treated like this. If the world wants me to be miserable then I'll be miserable.

addiction doesn't exist.
I agree to a certain extent with this sentiment. Addiction doesn't exist as it is understood as substance use disorder or in the 12-step framework. Insofar as diagnoses should contain indications for a condition, addiction is best understood as a trauma syndrome. That said, addiction's etiology of an essentially hijacked limbic system is very real.
To anons who have elected to post ITT for the sole purpose of ghoulishly hating on people who drink or who experience a problem with drinking, I invite you to engage my earlier post:
I guarantee you that you cannot refute what I've said. Maybe you could learn something, though.
Too many big words there, unironically. But I will say that "addiction is an incurable disease" is a pathetic cope. And the idea of it being generic is silly, too. It can easily stem from trauma, drink a lot after a bad thing happens, etc... after all, alcohol does fuck your reward pathways up, right? Eventually you end up drinking so much all the time and don't even remember how you got there.
I get that I may have been a bit wordy there, but I was specifically implying the opposite of "addiction is an incurable disease." That is what I meant by
>Insofar as diagnoses should contain indications for a condition, addiction is best understood as a trauma syndrome.
Basically, for a disease/diagnosis to have an "indication" means that it has a viable treatment plan, or cure. In this case, where addiction's cause is physiological/emotional trauma, that is eminently recoverable, but the framework for getting that done is unfortunately not common. picrel.
>alcohol does fuck your reward pathways up, right? Eventually you end up drinking so much all the time and don't even remember how you got there.
This happens via the brain's limbic system, which is a part of the unconscious/reptile/nose brain. It's the survival drive. Substance use compulsion is driven by the same part of the brain which informs us to perform primal drives like eat food, drink water, sleep, and fuck. An addict is compelled to take their drink or drug because their brain is telling their entire body that it's essential for survival.
cant wait to drink tomorrow
Going through withdrawals right now. It sucks and I feel like dying every other hour
Anon you may actually be dying. Never go cold turkey.
Nah, second week in. Already went to a doctor and they said I went through the worst time already. They gave me meds to calm my body down
damn how much were you drinking?
last time i stopped i felt fine after 48 hours, was sober for a good 5 days but ofc i didn't plan on quitting so i started drinking again
2-3 tall boys every day for a few years after my divorce. Probably around 5 years
... thats like nothing
Enough that my I had to go to urgent care
are you asian? that's pretty lightweight.
Nah, but I'm 5'10", 155
I'm 5'8", 157lbs and I drink like 4 to 6 units a day and have been for about 10 years. am I gonna die like you? You're scaring me, anon. I know it's too much but I don't think it's that much. Why did you stop drinking?
I only started drinking after my divorce. 4-6 tall boys is a lot
You are like baby
is this bait?
NAT but withdrawals vary pretty heavily. Some people quit weed with no problems while I'm flopping around sweating with berserk nightmares for weeks behind it and others quit booze with no issues despite drinking twice what I do
I quit weed cold turkey after using it in some form daily for over a year, I do have an ativan prescription though so that helped. I only drink like 2-3 times a week lately, used to be every other night.
Not him but I've stopped before with no side effects. Those times are rare. Most times it's either intense physical side effects or intense emotional ones. The emotional ones are worse imo. It feels like you've just been through a terrible break up. A drink will fix it though... I'll never be able to stop.
why don’t you start drinking, huh?
My uncle was found dead in his trailer with forty empty bottles of whiskey and two unopened ones.
Too high test for this world
It was a hell of a way to go. That's how his dad went out, too, though I don't know many details about that other than he was a monstrous drunk who drank all the time.
I was too young to drink then.
>two unopened ones.
Perfect, one for you, and one last bottle for him
Same reason no one can leave Cinemaphile.
alcoholics ranked by how pathetic they are:
1. genuine retards who don't realize they're losers and actually think it makes them cool (pathetic)
2. alcoholics who know they're losers and don't hide it (very pathetic)
3. the ones who know they're losers but use ironic detachment to pretend they're like #1 (the worst of all)
4. ranking alcoholics

yeah im not an alcoholic i just enjoy beer
DTs are a motherfucker and unless you’ve had a moderate case of them it’s hard to describe.
It is possible to taper off on your own but it takes a lot of self control/revulsion to not go overboard and end up back on the earthrock express .
i think i had moderate DTs once
i was tapering off in a best western and i kept hearing construction that wasn't happening. there would be knocks on my door, and nobody would be there.
i heard "chop suey" by SOAD audibly, as well as inarticulate screaming from someone who wasn't there
kind of horrifying tbh, it calmed down after several hours
i'm still riding the earthrocker train but i rarely work up more than a buzz anymore, and if i want to get actually drunk i try not to do it more than a couple nights a week
Hang in there fren

Ah that's the right side of my chest, not left. Thankfully not my heart.
vax status ?
I got the first two doses when they came out, thanks Pfizer! Actually though, I did have some weird chest shit after that but I thought it was kind of brought on psychosomatically since I was a bit worried. No problems since, also I fucked up the post see:
Uh, I think I'd know what I'm trying and not trying to do, you fucking gay.
blood clots aren't that fussy
So you're saying I'm fucked?
no clue, worth getting it checked out though.
I'm fairly sure it's just a slightly fatty liver being inflamed... I probably don't need a doctor, I never go anyway.
Get a life, contribute to society.
Drink more
I can't imagine leading such a pathetic existence. Grow up.
You're an alcoholic so you don't have to imagine it, you live it
And you're the gay that spends all afternoon in a thread about something you don't like, replying with pure seethe, in an attempt to make yourself feel like you have any worth. Fuck, that's pathetic. In fact, it's worse than pathetic, you should be humiliated. Even spending a whole day jerking off would be more productive than this. Your life consists of being angry at nothing online and trying to belittle others. As I've said, grow up, go outside, make some friends. It doesn't have to be this way forever. If you wait too long, you'll probably end up transitioning and joining the 41%, but it isn't too late, son.
>slightly fatty liver being inflamed
Pretty sure I'm feeling that. Back on the Milk Thistle for me.
Cry more pussy. Have another round tonight lmfao
>trying to cut back
No you aren't
I drank a whole bottle of vodka last night over the course of about 4 hours and barely felt it. Woke up without any hangover at all. I'm in my 30s and have consumed about 50-60 liters of pure alcohol (beer, wine, liquor) per year for the last decade.
I need to stop drinking this much, this can't be right. Damn my heritage.

how could someone even physically do that to themselves if they wanted to die
He wanted to die you fool
any other good movies about an alcoholic ?
i still go to student nights at the local club even though i'm 36
I have 3 beers left 🙁
I only have 1 cider
grim up north
me too anon. It's enough for me. I'm sorry if that's gonna leave you lacking. Maybe drink them slower than you're used to.
Im gonna have to. I stopped myself from buying more on the way home. Gotta stop treating my Thursdays like Fridays
Thursdays are Fridays anon... don't tell me you go into work fresh on Friday and ruin your weekend time. Your you time
I woke up this morning to half a can of beer next to me, as well as an unopened one. Good start to the day lads
that hair of the dog is a special little treat
I'd get some more booze but i've spent a bit too much money on it recently, not too well as pc parts, aircraft for DCS, birthday presents, etc. Still have two beers left in the fridge at least. I must pace myself which means they'll be gone by 12pm
>not too well as pc parts
I combined 'not to mention' with 'as well as' what a life cheers guys
Cheers, frens. If you're sipping beers instead of chugging spirits, you're doing okay, imo. Take care of yourselves.
i've had 3 beers and i'm gonna have 1 more and take a nap, even though i'm not even tired. sleeping makes the day go by faster
because he chose to stop living.
dunno how anyone can keep up a gym schedule while being a regular drinker. impossible for me

Anyone join AA here? Doctor recommended it
My mate went along with his mum to one to support her recently
He won 600 on the pokies last night and bought some top shelf whisky
The same doctor that told you to get vax?
WHAT A LIFE
AA is a highly moralizing system which will most likely lead you to dehumanize and demoralize yourself, then prostrate yourself in front of god and the people you've harmed. That approach does work for some, but not most. If you attend and practice, and it helps you reach your goals, then do it.
That said, AA/NA absolutely spurns any considerations of harm reduction. For those who cannot get "clean" from the 12 steps' limited approach, they can be very harmful.
AA just seems depressing as shit and my life is already depressing as shit. I've tried listening to other peoples drunken horror stories here and on shit like Soft White Underbelly and it's been mildly helpful at best.

They really should show that channel to kids in high school who think getting fucked up is cool.
idk maybe. Dropping out of high school was the best thing I ever did for myself. I wish I had refused to go to school since a decade before then.
I'm attempting his drunken overdose with rum for the last 3 years. 4 liters of rum every week, but it still only feels like the tip of the iceberg.
At that point why not just embrace hard drugs? Booze self destruction at that level is just sad. Booze is for slowly ending oneself over decades so no one can say you actively suicided like a sadfag.
I also do hard drugs, and think it would be more sad to give a fuck what anyone thinks what I do.
>4 liters of rum every week
those are rookie numbers
>got drunk on a wednesday this week
it’s over druksisters
It's Thursday
ye hes hungover and full of regret
Just get drunk again
alright drukbros. Need to make a choice here quick.
College girl friend, last time we spoke, early last year, we left on very sour terms because I was going through a mental crisis. She said she didn't want to talk to me anymore, but yet, after all this time, she still has me added as a Steam friend. I see her come online at least once a day now. Not gonna say I'm in a better space mentally, but at least I'm not a NEET anymore.
What do. Do I say hi? See where things stand right now? Or do I do nothing, like I do every night?
Drinking Southern Comfort right now, btw.
Adding you on steam without saying anything seems like her bare minimum of assuaging any guilt on her end
Just my thoughts, say hi if you want to, but if she added you with out saying anything I feel thats just teasing/mean
have this Elite Dangerous screen I just took
>Adding you on steam without saying anything seems like her bare minimum of assuaging any guilt on her end
No, it was an add from before our fallout. She never just unfriended me, like some other people did. Incidentally, she never responded to my twice sent Linkedin connection invite, so take that as you will.
Oh der
>still has me added
yeah idk man I wouldnt look into that, maybe theres hope but it could be the southern comfort
>linkedin invites
its over my man
I sent a "hi." to her 10 mins ago. Nothing. You're right. It's nothing at all. Fuck me.
my friend she will not reply, it will have to be an accidental encounter in person to save this.
Incidentally, there's exactly an opportunity for just that. Old classmate friend lives in the same city as me, and a shared professor also just recently moved to the same city, and [she] lives in the city next door. There's talk about a meetup, so...dunno. Maybe [she'll] say yes, but maybe back out if she learns I'm coming.
Fuck.
don't make a big deal out of coming and if she is there show her through actions that you have changed but do not make her your sole reason for being there
>and if she is there show her through actions that you have changed
ha...haha.....hahahahahahahaha
My circumstances have changed, but I have not. Still the same mentally ill fuckup that spooked her away.
what do you even want from this girl my bro? she has set her boundaries fairly.. If you want her back you will see the importance of change but if you do not then forget this girl and find another who will tolerate you.
I don't want anything from her. Really, in truth, all I actually want is just an opportunity to say that I'm sorry, and to explain to her why I did the things that I did. She has her own life, and I'd like to be updated on it, but at the end of the day, I just want to say the sorry that I never got to.
Seeking closure with women is a losing game from my limited experience. Ghosting them is the way to go. If you fail at that just go full asshole to them verbally and fuck their little(legal) sister then roast them about it.
not you but that closure you want for yourself comes across as crazy that feeling of relief when somebody realises your really did just mean well and circumstance brought out the worst in us alll
thats a you problem i tldr your posts
but you can see why this reads creepy
what you really want is relief that means your not happy with whatever the fuck probably for good reason
you should forgive yourself annon whoever else forgiving you would feel like cocaine on steroids however *note* this is in very loose sensibility the gratification of acceptence in apropreate change while remaining distant is what i mean here
not lets fuck
such is life
I guess in a way, I'm kind of hoping to replicate that scene from Cobra Kai, where Johnny sends that Facebook invite to Ali after having a few Banquets, and then wakes up one day to see she accepted and said hi back.
Fuck, that's so pathetic.
its just too damn comfy to listen to nostalgic music at 3am having drank 10+ beers
>Why didn't he just stop drinking?
You guys stay in touch with ppl from HS? I cant get dudes I went to War with to respond.
My hs best friend. Only asked him about our hs reunion a few years back and that was the end of that. I realized that we have changed too much and no nothing about each other anymore, like the ending of IT.
That shitty book has one of the worse endings ever made. The book in itself is not great thing either but at least it's more enjoyable than anything after the prologue of The Stand. But that ending is so shitty that just made my reading those huge shitted blobs of text (almost 2 thousand pages on the edition I had) such a waste of time that I never read anything from that hack ever again. fuck that gay and his "word diarrhea".
Thank God you didn't read Pet Sematary, then.
>just went offline without responding back
It's ogre...
Whatever, time to move on.
That would defeat the purpose of being a drunk.
When you finish a bottle of beer, you want another. When there's none, you drink a whiskey or vodka, until you either sleep or pass out. After you awake, you start drinking againd.
He didn't feel like it. What's the point of another few years on this planet? Why? So you can shit out another copy of yourself out of ego?
Drump
If you make it the first week of not dying or getting hospitalized, theres a great chance of you not dying during the rest of your withdrawals
DRUK BROS WE ARE SO BACK
We won
it's officially my birthday and i've been drinking 50cl wodka, my only way to feel great
/druk/ bros
So this is how Druk ends..........
It's over
Too much normalfag relationshit drama lately. I don't even bother coming to the threads anymore other than every few nights.
DRUK BROS WE WON
It’s been 10 months since I stopped drinking. My head feels clear and I have zero physical need to drink. I just miss it. Cut out weed 2 weeks ago too because of course I just went to another vice. But nah, I’m bored of it and it’s time for a break. It’s amazing how many people get offended or angry towards you when you tell them you’re not drinking. That brain fog and cloud of depression that hung over my head while I drank is gone and i feel good
WE WON /DRUK/ BROS
So this is how Druk ends...........
I'll /druk/ with you, bro.
WHAT A LIFE
HAVE A DRINK
/DRUK/ BROS WE WON
WHAT A LIFE RANDERS
I'm gay btw
Wishing my drukbros a delightful evening. What are we drinking sirs?
Water
Why the fuck would you stop drinking? It’s the only reason billions of people don’t kill themselves daily
>just started drinking
>thread is dying and there's no new one
did everyone pass out already? fuck
I'm still here. It's after midnight on the east coast so yeah they're probably asleep.
>why aren't there more drunks here on a weekday
Not everyone is as sad as you dude.
WHAT A WAY TO GO
Drinking on weekdays while at work and then going to school was fun but it takes a toll on you
Every time I even just cut down on my drinking I keep remembering all the relationships I've ruined. And I remember her. And even if I distract myself and go a day without remembering her I dream about her. They're more nightmares. My life is hell. If it means I die then fine.
It's sad how some of you act like teenagers going "wooooo drinking is awesome" meanwhile you are in your late 20's or 30's or older. This is how people act when they are 17.
We're on a spectrum.
>drinking is awesome
drinking is awesome though
I am 45 years old never touched a woman and have a shit job. All I have left in my life is drinking and this thread like most that post here.
God damn, dude.
Nah it's too late. I will just drink myself to death with you guys. WHAT A LIFE!
WHAT A THREAD
Let's do it together. These threads seem to only pop up late at night for me when I'm mostly out of booze though.
I am down lets die together
Why not
I don't have anything to live for. The bottle keeps me company and now you guys can too
Neither do I. I am old pathetic and a virgin.
FYI to you young guys who think when you hit 30 you magically get a girlfriend, I hate to break it to you but if you are autistic in your 20's you are also autistic in your 30's and still won't attract anyone.
shit man. go to vegas and get a hooker
Get an escort at this point dude. There are some nice ones who will give you that girlfriend experience. Find one that will let you hold her. I don't care if someone wants to call that pathetic. Human contact is a necessity.
Keep downing garbage booze and looking like total shit because of it, I'm sure you'll find a smokeshow under your next plastic cap.
Stop drinking. It's that easy.
0/10
That type of trolling doesn't work on alcoholics. We're realistic about what is happening. inb4 chud rage
It's not trolling if I'm spot on, idiot.
>chud nonsense
So this is the power of beriberi. Amazing.
In after chud rage. Lmao I called it. Now reply like my bitch or run away with your tail between your legs
>p-please reply to me, anon! I have nothing else!
Here's your last (You), junkie. Withdrawals are coming and they're only getting worse.
Lmao I knew you'd do it. You're my bitch forever. Now reply like my bitch or run away with your tail between your legs.
The main reason I drink is because of my girlfriend. My life is pretty great other than that, she just makes more money than she costs so I keep her around. Women are annoying to be around.
Wish I could share a drink with you bro
How can you be a 45 y.o. alcoholic virgin? Do you never drink outside your apartment?
My half brother died of alcoholism and he was younger than I am now. I probably don't have much time left. I lost my girl over it. And I still can't stop. My mom is there for me. I'd be dead without her but that would have been for the best if I simply wasn't here anymore.
>bar fight at /druk/ last call
Perfect.
>heheheh if I delude myself that I am in a bar it hides the fact that I am drinking alone on a Thursday night
Go home boys.
You drink on the weekdays alone.
I've been drinking water all night but I enjoy my /druk/bros and posting with them.
Who's really miserable here? You two seem pretty damn salty.
>I've been drinking water all night
What is that code for Vodka? I don't even have anything against drinking but Jesus dude it's a weekday wait till tomorrow/later today get your shit together.
Water.
But serisouly though what the fuck is it to you what goes on in this thread? Go alog a c*nny thread and do some actual good, holy fuck.
>water all night
So that's a lie. Even if it's totally true (lol), your /druk/bros are pathetic and so are you for encouraging them. Alcoholism is embarrassing, get your acts together.
You can tell he is lying and bullshitting because of his constant need to deflect back to the one calling him out like he did in the last post and this post
Drinking water and asking a genuine question.
See he is doing it again lol
You low IQ drunks are all the same.
So you can't explain why you hang out itt and seethe at everyone?
>h....he called me out and was spot on quick I have to deflect back to him
kek every time with you losers
You're still doing it, and adding a gratuitous attack in hope I make a claim about my personal life so you can just do it again.
>i....i...it's not working damn it this always works! Keep deflecting back to him! Why isn't this working!
Kek
Deflecting what?
Was this you, or the other guy?
>I don't even have anything against drinking but Jesus dude it's a weekday wait till tomorrow/later today get your shit together.
I explained that I've been drinking water all day, that should satisfy whoever posted it.
How you are an alcholic drinking alone on a weekday. I said nothing about you being on this site just that you are a loser who drinks a lone on a weekday. When called out on that you get really defensive and immediately go full deflection mode meaning I am above the target. You will do it again in your next reply to me, watch.
bro you could use a drink
You picked a fight with me as the thread was dying so I stuck around. Anything I say you will call a lie and do your performative schtick.
Drinking water all day.
It's obvious that you are lying and drinking alone on a weekday and I am simply pointing that out and you show guilt every time you desperately want to flip it back to me. It's a tell tale sign. If you ignored me or simply said no before then it would be more believable but you fucked up.
And I am simply pointing out that I've drank nothing but water all day.
Which is a lie and your desperation to deflect and get the attention off of you nailed that lmao.
>get the attention off of you
I think by engaging with you I've been bringing lots of attention on myself.
Now that we've established I'm not drinking alone on a weekday is there anything else?
You lied and got nervous and deflected to me it was obvious you were lying. Another drunk loser posting here alone on a weeknight.
>You lied
About what? I'm not drinking alone on a weekday night. Your one critique of me is incorrect.
Is there anything else?
>About what?
about not drinking alcohol. You got called out on it and like every guilty part immediately deflected.
You mean this post?
Yeah you're an annoying gay with atrocious behavior.
But I've been drinking water all night. Seethe all you want.
You are another loser who has been drinking alcohol alone on a weeknight and when called out on it immediately deflects like all guilty parties do.
Two facts have been established from our exchange here:
- I've been drinking water all night
- You are an annoying gay
Congrats.
The only fact established is that you are another loser who has been drinking alcohol alone on a weeknight and when called out on it immediately deflects like all guilty parties do.
I have been drinking water all night.
You have been drinking alcohol all night alone on a Thursday night.
I have been drinking water all night.
You have been drinking alcohol all night alone on a Thursday night.
I have been drinking water all night.
You have been drinking alcohol all night alone on a Thursday night.
Alright board is too slow and the bottom of page 10 is far away.
You're an insufferable gay and I'm completely sober.
You are seething alone on a weekday night.
See you tomorrow, gay.
I accept your concession alcoholic. Next time lie better and get your shit together.
Wow you sound hammered maybe call it a night yikes!
He clearly was. If he was sober he would have let it go and not responded or simply said no and let that be but he clearly felt guilty.
>larping as a bartender while sipping Seagrams
Jesus, new lows every day in /druk/.
>bar fight
Some drunk gay fell on his face, muttered about trannies and how "powerful" he is as he was escorted to a dumpster. Not much of a fight.
I hate it when druk threads turn into /LULZ/ lite. Who cares if you don't have girlfriends?
Only good thing about withdrawals is you can't fap because you have no energy
