Dear Diary, I was drinking up to 15 5% 440ML Heinekens (or similar eg 1664's, Carlsberg exports etc) every 2 or 3 days from early / mid afternoons until I crashed past midnight so it would be a long sesh while looking at shit on the interwebs.The first 3 or 4 would go down slow and I would almost have to make myself get the next one, but after 5 or 6 we're on a roll and by 10/12 we're in blackout territory.This year I started doing dry February and then decided to go dry for Lent which started mid feb and went till 2nd April so easily about 60 days without any problems really. The result was I became more clear headed, had far far more energy was just engaging with life on several levels higher, just doing shit and getting shit done, felt good 'for no reason', all round the experience was top notch and after 3/4 weeks I didn't miss alcohol or inebriation at all. I stopped eyeing the calender to see how long I had to wait, and was looking at it to enjoy how many days had gone by without getting trashed, or even a drop not passing my lips.I tried a few non-alcoholic beers, Guiness zero, Becks blue, Bavaria and Heineken blue some others, whenever I had a taste for a beer, and discovered that without the alcohol, I would not want to dronk any more than 2 or 3, so alcohol is really a massive driver that pushes the session from drinking enough to hit the 'cheerful zone' and just going for it into the blackout zone. The taste for a beer is satisfied after a couple unless alcohol is in the drivers seat.(cont)
Another thing that happened was buying beers, wines and spirits to 'stock up' even though I wasn't drinking and had no urge to drink, because 'well eventually I will drink again'. I ended up with a lot of beer in the garage, and several bottles of wine (which I generally had not been drinking) and a few bottles of whisky. It wasn't a planned thing, I would just pick one or two things up whenever I went out grocery shopping.Well, eventually Easter came around, Lent was over, but I waited until Easter tuesday for the first beer. Well I was back on the drinky-go-round, and honestly started missing the energy, clearheadedness and just all-round getting shit done-ness of the 'dry days', looking back fondly and thinking 'I should just stop drinking again, it wasn't hard at all, and now you're really only drinking because you're bored, and you're only bored because you're down on energy, clear headedness and getting shit done vibes.Only problem now is I had all this fucking alcohol lying around, so the plan became, drink all this shit and then go dry again. And that's about where we are, drinking through it. Back to the 10-12 hour sessions getting blotto (3 bottles wine/sesh, upto 15 beers per sesh (not at the same time) waking up hungover not drinking for a day or two but also doing fuck all for those days, and then into another sesh, 'because I have to finish all the alcohol in the house before I can get to the glorious dry days again'.So that's where we are, probably one or two 'sessions' and I am back at the doorway to the glorious, sunshiney, high energy clearheaded getting shit done and feeling good salad days. It will take about 2-3 weeks after the last drop if Feb-fast/Lent experience was a guide. Thank you for reading my blog.Anyone else enjoying similar? It really feels like I'm just bored of drinking.
Fuck your blog
>>22063178Thank you for your thoughtful, lucid, insightful, and in depth review of my blog.You druk?
i would have recommended pouring all that alcohol out and not going back to it even once, but if you're good you're good.
>>22063183It was a few hundreds worth, so did not want to do that.Pouring it out is the kind of 'making a statement' action that a totally fucked up alcoholic would do. I consider myself a binge drinking alcoholic, i.e. I can go several days without it, but if I sit down and start, I generally get through what I described above if I'm by myself.I can drink socially without getting fucked up at all. But the enjoyment comes from drinking at home and doing my own thing (i'm fine with my own company) but inevitably we get to BOT.It's the wasted days after a session that are beginning to tire me.
I can recommend a nice Soda-Lime and Bitters as a good and refreshing drink for social out and about warm days.IceClear Soda (works with sparkling water)Several dashes of bitters of your choiceFresh lime -plenty of or lime cordial Stir and enjoy.
>>22063175Yesterday I drank 6 cans 500ml Budvar Budweiser 5%, the Czech original, one can 440ml Tribute ale 4.2%, and one 750ml Leffe brune 6.5%.Then I had half an south-indian thali and 1/3rd of a frozen black forest gateaux.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>22063175Gz, OP, good work
>>22063240Thnx.All good to the good, brother.
For me it's the thoughts of regret and other shit, think too much so feel the need to dull my head and relax with alcohol. Every time after drinking I'm in the mood of being sober for a while, but that lasts only few days. Actually pretty much always three days and then I drink again. What bothers me the most regarding drinking, is that I don't lose any weight as I take so many calories from alcohol.
>>22063175you just are utterly uneducated on how to drink.its that simple.
>>22063175Maybe just grab one of these and leave it at that?
>>22063282That's what I was referring to by the 'Drinky-go-round'. Blast yourself for a day/night, either enjoying it or blocking shit out. This whole routine started after my wife died. The only time I didn't feel like I was in a Vietnamese prison hole was when I got myself 3 bottles cheap red wine, diluted it to approzimate 3-5% alcohol - hence the cheap wine - and sat in front of the computer for 12hrs trawling through /b/ - back in those days /b/ was a lot of fun with a lot of smart people pretending to be dumb, the polar opposite of redshit, where dumb people tried to pass themselves off as smart. Truly those days (a couple of years got me back into life, it was the only time I laughed or 'enjoyed' being alive. I've always felt grateful to 4chan and mootfagget for that.Anyway back to the drinky-go-round, as I said it's the wasted days and boredom, at around day 3 you start to 'feel good' again, and that's the cue to have another blast.That's why setting yourself up for a few weeks without is a good challenge that is experiential in terms of how much better you feel. Give it a go, maybe try yourself a 'dry-july' personal challenge.>>22063289We are so grateful that such a learned and noble, high-minded sould such as yourself has deigned to enlighten us with your great goodness and universal wisdom in our humble blog. We are not worthy O great lord of simpleness.>>22063295Yeah, the buzz is ok, but that's the thing, after a couple or three weeks without, the craving for even a mild buzz is as strong and ignorable as say the craving for a cheesecake. Yeah it would be nice right now, but really, I can't be bothered because I'm enjoying doing the gardening right now.
>>22063295Nine point nine percent. Blimey. That's a lot, isn't it?
>>22063317Yeah, nearing wine territory.
>>22063311If it's legal in your area, you could go for THC seltzers.
>>22063317>>22063295Yeah, I'm a quaffer, I drink beer mainly because I enjoy the physical drinking part, so 'volume', and the 5% is strong enough to deliver the goods in terms of buzz.The times when I quaffed wine at the same pace as beer well lol, those were where the stupidest decisions were made.A 10% beer maybe for a 'German breakfast' thing.
>>22063331My 'psychedlic daze' are long gone.Every now and then when I have a joint it just becomes a thing I have to do because now I have a '50 bag I gotta finish.It's more a chore that feels good in the moment but you're throwing away your edge for the next couple of days. It's the cheesecake thing again.
>>22063295Is that a raw chicken wing in his sleeve?
>>22063342lol i hope so...
>>22063175Tl;Dr reddit spacing >>22063178And I'm hiding this stupid boring thread you'll drink again soon
>>22063357>reddit spacingOtherwise known as 'paragraphs'...Thank you for your valuable and heartwarming contributions to this humble blog.
Hate to break it to you anon but you are an alcoholic. People who aren't alcoholics can have booze around and not drink it. This feeling that you "have to" drink it is the alcoholism talking.
>>22063369you know the part where op said he is a binge drinking alcoholic?lol, 'reading comprehension', you should try it sometime.
>>22063357>And I'm hiding this stupid boring thread you'll drink again soonSpoken like a truly bitter sad sack. I genuinely feel bad for the people who are close to you (providing there are still any left)
>>22063379Have a drink, OP. You're in a mood again.
>>22063397>>22063369>>22063357>edgy as fuck
>>22063357Yeah. Anyone who announces their sobriety fails pretty quick
>>22063317Yes. It’s the highest quantity of alcohol for the lowest price in this store.
>>22063342The fuck? Like the damned thing is blended into his hand or sleeve!
>>22063295>>22063317>>22063467>op has a tremendous thirst on, all of a sudden...https://youtu.be/dfwnjO9o8OU?si=r_Oj3xyPp5KGFiRz
>>22063193>I'm an alcoholic>I'm just not one of THOSE alcoholicsenjoy your spiral
>>22063175My little cousin is addicted to soft drinks, snacks and beer. Every time he comes over to visit he orders a gorillion snacks, cans of beers using the grocery app (and uncles credit card). He doesn't finish it all before leaving so i have to binge drink and eat snacks for a week to finish it all
>>22063739>have to
>>22063181>You druk?are you? dry drunks are the worst
>>22063700What a sad and bitter person you are. god bless you, you sad broken child.
>>22063809he's typing the truth
>>22063178>>22063289>>22063357>>22063369>>22063397>>22063420>>22063700>>22063806>>22063811Lol, the seething misery and self loathing in these posts is off the charts. The very definition of misery lashing out.
>>22063870alkies get really really mad when you point out very basic facts like patterns of addiction and the existence of cirrhosis. we know this already, you dont have to keep bringing it up.
>>22063311No sweat. Have a good one.
I am an alcoholic and drinking like you, often 9 beers plus a tall boy at night. I work nights so it is so incredibly easy to get drunk all morning 1a - 8a and sleep all day til work. It's fucking shit and I am trying to stop being an alcoholic but the scale is tipped so far back it's terrible. Grats on your sobriety when you get there god speed. You should have given the booze away friend.
>>22063175Also did your memory improve at all? Like holy FUCK has my memory been shit ever since I hit 30s and still drinking.
>>22063282This is the cycle I am in unfortunately
>>22063175>5% 440ML Heinekens (or similar eg 1664's, Carlsberg exports etc)There's no such thing as a 440 ml Heineken. You mean 330 ml, which is the standard beer bottle size.>10/12 we're in blackout territory.That's the same as 2 bottles of wine. It's enough to get fucked up but it's far from blackout. Unless you're a woman of course
...we used to have al/ck/ threads, now we get shit like this...fuck mods
>>22064485Yeah I don't get why that shit was jannied?
>>22064491it used to be a staple, cozy to lurk and post. when that shit got banned lurked in 420chan...but that died too..
>>22064493*banned, so I lurked>>>
>>22063176You’re just an alcoholic faggot
>>22064493I was shocked when I went to 420chan a few years ago and it was gone. Any real reason?
>>220644762 bottles at the right speed and not eating too much can be black out turf. its certainly for more to drink than advisable on the reg. so the 'woman' shit is fake and unnecessary.>>22063176drinking can certainly get boring. but theres absolutely no reason to drink for 10-12 hours. drinking like that is either chasing the dragon or just carelessness. i love to feel whiskey make my blood run and watch the sun come up. but thats clearly untenable. I also dont mind a decent buzz and going to bed at a reasonable time. its tough to manage, so you gotta do the maths and watch the clock, or just quit.
>>22063175Heineken zeros are decent
>>22063175I quit almost ten years ago. If you're blacking out and the mornings aren't worth it anymore it sounds like a good time to get out. The fact that you were drinking alone and goofing around on the internet is not a good sign either. But it's good that you don't have social pressure to drink. That's what I had to deal with. Drinking up the rest of your booze as not to waste it is a bad move if you really don't like the life anymore. Give it away if you can't stand to pour it out. Put a box of booze in an alley so some bum can have the find of a lifetime. Imagine the glory.
>>22064485Last time we tried to have a Food Humor thread they kept taking it down. We can't have any fun anymore.
>>22064515The guy who ran it hacked some Republicans and went to Canadian prison. There's a whole explanation of it on leftiepol's new drug board where some people are launching another version to take its place. They aimed for 4/20 but they didn't have it done in time. Those days are just over. People moved on. What's left is not the same and it never will be. The wrong kinds of people came here and ruined everything when other sites kicked them off. And now they think they run the place and will tell anyone who doesn't want to discuss politics and jews in every thread to go back to redddit.
>>22063332>quafferIs that a fanny fart?
>>220631751st time I enjoyed reading a long post, thankx op I hope things work out the way ur planning.I want to stop being a drunk (3 times a week i drink) so I'm working on it man but it's so hard.I quit porn and gore vids at the end of September/ start of October and that was way easier.
>>22063746Yeah well, i can't just ignore the bag of snacks lying around. It wasn't a problem the first few times but afterwards my 30 yr old man digestion just cannot keep up with all these junk food and beer. I get heartburn and don't feel too good afterwardsStill i get greedy and eat it all
>>22064526>>22064543I quit for a while about 10 years ago and felt good but then got into it. I was going way too heavy for a while, 1-2 bottles of wine and 6-8 hard ciders on just a regular work day. I cut back a bunch at first but now I've slid into it again some more, it sucks because I can't afford it and don't like the feeling afterwards but when you're on that buzz and everything feels fuzzy and happy, nothing else ever makes me feel like that or makes me want to sleep. I know when I stop completely I feel much better overall though.
>>22063342no, hes just pleased to see you anon
>>22063602LOL
