Alcoholism sucks. When I don't drink I get unbearable anxiety and profuse sweating, when I drink I act like a fool. Sometimes I forget a day or even multiple days(I have google maps tracking activated so I can kind of make out where I was and what I was doing)
Can you get help dealing with it? Fighting an addiction alone is the worst.
>>939234308I don't want alcoholism in my medical record
>>939234279>when I drink I act like a foolHow? I drank a 750 of jack #7 today and I was functionally sober not considering the speed
>>939234403Dunno, I think partly its also automatically cringe at anything I did while under the influence, even if it wasn't anything to be embarrassed about and would have done the same sober.
Also need like one or 2 hours preparation/drinking before I can go outside, and then I might have drank too much and the day is ruined.
Slowly decrease your intake over time. Switching from spirits to wine/beer at first will also help since there’s just less pure alcohol content. Won’t be an overnight fix but realistically over a couple of months you can slowly get back to baseline. Going cold turkey absolutely sucks though so definitely don’t do that
>>939234856>>939234279Shit advice. Cold turkey is always the most successful approach to fighting addiction.You definitively had a shit childhood, family and friends, so best to completely disconnect, join the military or a monastery, go to prison, hide in the woods, move to a muslim country, anything to take a 3 months brake from reality and deal with the unbearable pain of your life.Don't do the same thing you do everyday as it will never work out.
>>939235019>just completely throw away your lifeAbsolutely retarded post. Incremental change is far better than just attempting to restart your life. Doing what this anon describes will just result in you becoming an alcoholic who also just happens to be in the military (and on the way to die for Israel)
>>939234279Yeah, I had the sky-high anxiety when I'd try to go a day without. It's really fucking rare that someone can white-knuckle themselves off booze, so try to build a support network of people who aren't going to mind (too much) when you get all mopey and/or pissy. Rely on those cunts - if they are good people, they will view it as a privilege to help you out, not a burden.If you can't build the support network, check yourself in to a program and try to make friends with the least odious of your peers. People often refuse this because they won't be able to do XYZ with that on their record, but don't realise that you definitely won't be allowed as a drunk.If you can, do it sooner rather than later and try not to breed when still drunk. Nothing worse for a kid than an alcoholic parent.
>>939235147Spoken like a true retarded nigger with no life experience.There is no life to throw away, if you are an addicted it means you are self-destructive/suicidal and actively hate yourself. In this context incremental change means keeping a foothold in this toxic reality.Radical change is required, and besides the faggot propaganda, military offers structure and pozitive values, something that 99% of addicts don't have in their life.
>>939235264Ok Moshe I’m sure you’ve hit your post quota for today so you can log off now.
>>939235285You wanna kill a pond of piranha?Salt the water
>>939235285And you can go back to your nigger tranny porn, you toxic gooner loser.
I used alcohol to treat anxiety. It worked for a couple of years because I did it sparingly, but eventually it turned into an every day thing and the baseline anxiety is x100 worse and drinking barely alleviates it. I tried dozens medications are none of them helped against anxiety, and they don't give you the "good stuff" here like benzos unless you are an in-patient at the clinic(benzos come with similar problems but at least they don't destroy your body)
>>939235389Nice Freudian slip, this is a thread about helping an anon overcome alcoholism and you co-opted it by shilling for him to become military goycattle.
>>939234279Hey Anon, I drink every 3 days until I black out for years. I woke up 3 weeks ago with another busted tv I knocked over when I passed out. 4th or 5th tv in 3 years. only had that one about 4 months. I woke up got drunk on the other half of the bottle to commiserate and wjen I woke up I decided I had enough. didnt smoke another cigarette. (smoker for 32 years) and javenmt had a drink since. you can do it if you want to. dont believe all the bullshit about "need help" "harder to do it alone" you just have to really want it. God knows Id rather be getting drunk every friday night and monday night still, but the cost outweighs the bemefit. if you cant stop drinking you should admit to yourself that its just not worth it to you yet and continue doing what you're doing.
>>939235833I knocked a tv over once but that was like 10 years ago
Aha suck it losers, I'm not an alcohol I cut myself off hours ago and am drinking coffee on a monday holiday. I don't even have to pretend to be sober today.
