I've seen so many ex heroin addicts jump to drinking after quitting because it seems like the only thing that they can get by with. Then it gets to the point where it's not acceptable because you are losing control.

I can assure you that switching to hard alcohol would absolutely ruin your life. It would not stink less and that isn't the issue. The issue is you are addicted to alcohol. Plain and simple. If I was you I'd seriously order some gabapentin online. That is really the only thing I've seen alcoholics use without going into benzo blackouts. Get rid of the alcohol man. It's such a shitty way to go out. Once you get to the point of having physical w/d you really need to think of medications to substitute and taper.

Steels reek of beer man, just drink some cider or make your own, your breath or smell like fruit, and i'm sure like most experienced alcs you can hold yourself together your just avoiding a seizure or whatever else, hell drink some wine or something, we have these blackberry beers over here that no one can ever recognize and theyre 8% just like steel for only 99cents a pint.

fixed...:smirk:

I finally gave up my right to drink socially after I accepted the fact that
any attempts I made to control my drinking in the past, always ended in failure.
(Sometimes really epic failures...:ashamed:)

I've only got 18 months dry, and I still go to 3-5 meetings a week.
i like the experience, strength and hope I get from a bunch of recovering booze-bags.:shrug:
I still smoke pot, but that really has little to do with my alcoholism.
Booze messed up my life on so many levels, cannabis doesn't do that.

Well, there was the 2 times it took to finally quit heroin back when I was y'alls age,
and 2 more times in the past 3 years when I thought I could taper myself down
from my rather large daily intake of alcohol. Big mistake.
Both times I ended up in ICU for a week.
You're lucky if it's only being " curled into a ball wishing you were dead bleeding sweat..."

OP, they have meetings on line if you just want to listen/ check it out(or share something)

I wish you the best, but only you know when enough is enough.
It won't get any easier as time passes, trust me.

Enjoywho has me on ignore but I went through something similar not even a couple week ago. I feel so much fuckin better now that I've controlled my drinking. Granted, I was never close to losing my job or anything like that, but waking up not hungover and with some mental clarity is really nice for a change.

Yes I know this my friend. I read that there's a lot of ex heroin addicts that move to alcohol. It's a depressant. Same shit but not as strong. They got some gabapentin in the fridge but i'd never steal from my renters. I'm quiet and clean. But I've never stolen. Never have never will. I know I am you really don't have to tell me that. I never was before but it's a depressant and it numbs me.

What my homie I randomly ran into told me was. Dude if your going to do this you have to learn to play the game. I'm heading for a job interview (as he lets me have a sip off his bottle) Your drinking the wrong shit of course you smell. Carries an almost gone tooth paste bottle in his bag. I don't want to go to hard alcohol I will drink it like beer I've already tried and be twisted by noon.

It pays my rent. Do I want more out of life of course. But I've been to college and told them to fuck off. I have to pay 100$ just to do my homework. Ya fuck you.

Yo, Enjoywho, we're you intoxicated at work or just smelling of booze?

If you we're legit not intoxicated, get a fucking breath-o-meter thing.

Prove them they are fucking wrong.

NOW, if you WERE drunk, learn to fly below the radar homie.

Only reason I don't drink before work is I 99% of the time, drink all my booze the night before

:shrug:

Just smelling I guess? I was completely sober clocked in 45 minutes early. I dunno who the fuck I said something too I just start working. I forgot to brush my teeth fuck I wake up at 430 am. Fuck man and I made myself a lunch that is far above on my priority list. I really don't worry about it.

I didn't show up for work yesterday and I told him. I missed the bus by 5 minutes and it's the only one that runs from Hoquiam. Plus I had a pretty girl sleeping in my bed. Just laughed and said yes I understand.

In the 4 months i've been there I make them so much fucking money. I take pride in anything I do and work hard. You can shake 2 boxes but why? I do 7-8. I take pride in what I do. He knows that that's why he didn't up and fire me. Shit I could quit tomorrow and he'd immediately hire me on the next day.

Yeah but that doesn't mean you should take advantage of the situation to fill your desires only to short out the company, at least of which cares somewhat about you. Stick to your guns and enjoy the adequate "you're needed" feel from your job. Be more discreet and cautious about your ways, it's so easy to be unsuspicious on alcohol, get your shit done, and stay true to yourself.

I would get a breath'alizer, if it was a continues problem, blow a 0.00 and show them you are sober.
Regardless if you smell like booze or not.

:shrug:

I always have a set pair of work clothes to make sure I don't spill drinks on them, because, like last night for example I probably spilt a beer or two on myself over the course of the night, and would have wreaked if It was my work uniform.

Just keep in mind, there is a limit to how much they can let fly, after a certain point they have to follow protocol before they are risking their own lifelyhood, you know?

After a certain point they have to send you home, regardless of the personal relationship.

I understand this. I made the mistake of saying something. Half the people never even show up. I'm the one helping people so we can leave. They literally don't care just show up and work. I've never seen anything like it. But I'm not going to leave people hanging especially new people. It's how I learned. A hot ass mexican lady. Look. Mira. I don't speak a lot of english.

I don't leave anyone hanging i'm one of the last to clock out. Once we get to getting off time I just take a bucket around load it up and bust that shit out quickly. They should be paying me more as i'm apparently one of the trainers now.

I stop them and shake my head. No watch me I will teach you but you have to watch me.
