Sometimes it takes a bad time
    #26392027 - 12/20/19 07:16 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Drank too much last night, didn't have a lot of fun.  Was going up to the drive thru evening after evening.  It is sooo hard not to want to drink when I wake up early.

I just want to be sober for Christmas.  I made a pizza last night and it was great, but man...woke up feeling shitty at 2 am.

I had a wake up call on Thanksgiving about my drinking. Don't remember half the night (or the Turkey), I got that plastered on Bourbon in the day. Felt like I let my friends down in the process, which hurt, and forced me to take a good hard look at the reasons for my drinking. Turns out the overriding one was a case of nihilism, which I've been working hard to address since.

Also, I've quit hard alcohol for the first 100 days of next year (until April 10th). Will probably extend it too, but nice to have a short term goal.

What could you quit for 100 days next year that would make your life better?

Yeah, bro. I'm so tired of drinking. Yet I find myself doing it all the time. My family and my wifes family drink all the time. Every time I say I want to take a break my wife looks at me sideways. I've dialed it back big time, blacking out and hangovers are a no-no, but I still drink way too much. The sad thing is, I love beer, I love bourbon, but drinking so much has ruined it for me.

I've poured down the drain about as much hard drink as I've drank.  I rarely go 4 days without.  There is a forgetting problem, forgetting how it can stink.

Last night I had 2 24oz honey brown which is no biggie.  It was the 2 19.2oz 9% abv voodoo ranger imperial.  Waking up early sucks so bad and I wanted to drink around 1pm but held off to 3pm.  So I bought enough to ieep me busy untill 7:30pm which is my dogs supper.  Then I take him out to go potty and go to bed.

I basically pay to get fat.  Sometimes it is fun but it always gets expensive.  Between lotto and beer it's a waste of money.  My dog loves the drive thru cause they give him a cookie and love.  Pretty mufh all the social life I have other than family is the shroomery and buying crap at the drive thru.

I live on a dead end street, right at the top 120 feet down the main road is the drive thru.  They never say I drink too much there.

100 days without beer would encounter a lot of resistence.  I did that last winter when I broke the last time from rhodiola rosea.  Not to mention piecing together some bad repressed memories.  Well that was earlier but still it was a rough patch.

I think most importantly is sleeping and eating right.

I am an alcoholic.

I have now been sober for 2 1/2 years. If you ever want to chat about sobriety please feel free to drop me a PM. If nothing else i'm always glad to listen to your experience.

I'm not advocating sobriety for anyone, however I have never woken up in the morning and said "I sure wish I drank that beer last night."

Yeah I mean I've always been on and off with booze. The holidays are just an excuse for me to get smashed and I usually overdo it.

I know where you are-- I've been there.

I latched onto alcohol for many years in my 20's-- it was always a good time because I felt more like myself and wanted to be around people more.
Then at some point I realized I was drinking at home by myself to feel happier. Then I was drinking a 12 pack every night.

It was devastating-- it got the the level that I was getting ripped and walking out into the woods naked getting all banged up in a stumbling daze. It took some hard-core bad decisions to drive home to me that I had to stop-- and I did-- turned my life around, started working out, eating clean, and got to the best shape of my life. I stayed sober for 12 years, then when I was out of state working I took a beer from a friend on the 4th of July-- which led directly to another couple years of the same terrible hole I was free from for so long.

I was always pretty functional-- which is why it was so hard to quit. I had plenty of ammunition to talk myself into why it was OK-- but I knew I was a mess, and I always went to darker and darker places as time went on.

I will always be an alcoholic by the definition of it-- it's bound to me in a way that always re-surfaces if I drink.

There's no question that the most important thing to do is to gain some time separation from where you are now-- in my experience, I was never really able to see the totality of how fucked up I was until a long time had passed after quitting and I could see it through the lens of my own history.

But that will happen, if you can break out of the habit and let it.

:goodluck:

I've been 13 years without a drink, and I can say it's been the best years of my life.  It was hard at first, but worth it for sure.

im inadvertently sober, I started kratom and I just stopped drinking, i keep meaning to pick up a bottle of wine from the store and get wasted but I never do, been about 12 months since I would drink whenever possible, I only drank maybe 3 times in the last 12 months and 2 of those times it was because I was trying to boost my phenibut high

I envy you if one bottle can get you wasted

my last few months have been a rollercoaster, I've gained like 15lbs probably just from drinking. Gonna start 2020 off with some mushrooms and hopefully some mdma and get back on track, saving the booze for special occasions only

Kratom is not sober.

I gained a bit less than 20 from the year.  Lost 4 pounds of bloat not drinking for a couple days.  I still eat a good bit.  Just think. 800 to 1200 calories from drinking is very easy.

Which is odd cause off med I wasn't a fan much of drinking.  Mostly toked.

no even with no tolerance I need like 2 bottles to get as drunk as I like to get, 1 bottle of vodka will do it though a mickey is not enough, I need a 26, but the only problem here is they tax the hell outta alcohol here a bottle of wine is like 10-`15 dollars for the cheapest one and vodka is like $30 for the 26er

I just drink a beer or two for the taste

Found a nice little independent micro brewery

They have strawberry wheat beer and stuff , it's nice

Not so long ago I was drinking most of a 24 case of beer 

With some whiskey for desert almost everday

I dont remember what I did but I'm not proud of it

It wasnt anything too bad

Then I found 2 jobs while I was going through thought loops of regret

I'm pretty sure they saved my life , they deffenitly took my mind off things

Some girl mentally abused me and stuff

Back in 2017

It drove me to drink

I picked up her father or whatever from the hospital once

He said so you're her friend

He told me good luck and gave me some money

I see what he meant the way he said it and the look on his face

I left my grandparent's house who my grandfather was a massive alcoholic and that drove me round the bend my whole life until very recently am sick to death of alcohol and the thought of old family members who I don't give a shit about.

got 2beers for tomorrow ill have and try to enjoy them and then Christmas I'm going to have some wine maybe and that'll be the last of my alcohol consumption for a well long amount of time.
