alcoholic trans girls.... (and boys, because you are an underrepresented demographic)why are you an alcoholic? what is your situation in life that causes pain you try to escape? is the alcohol cheap or do you go for the pricier brands so it tastes good? what's your favourite drink?
>>41682182Married to an alcoholic, chronic pain and mental illness is his reason. Jameson I guess, he'll drink anything though
>>41682253Has he tried cannabis instead or is alcohol really the best method?
>>41682378Hm, alcohol isn't the best anything, it's killing him. He's wasting away, becoming more feeble and incoherent, his organs hurt from it. We've been in the ER and got back near fatal levels in his blood. Gabapentin was managing it for a while but we just lost our health insurance due to the price going from 100 to 1000 a month that we don't have. Weed does nothing. Booze is the only cheap legal thing to keep him from screaming in agony, but he drinks too much every time and the overdrinking hurts him too
>>41682471Well damn fuck, what a fucking situation to be in eh? I'm so sorry. I want to hug both of u. Alcoholism is a horrible disease.
>>41682182Thinking that pain and life situation "causes" drug abuse is literally the defining feature of the addict. For the addict literally anything or anyone else is to blame for his or her decision to consume substances EXCEPT the addict.Once you realize this and realize that everyone has trauma but ruining your life by choosing to consume alcohol and drugs, it becomes possible to choose sobriety and break the chemical cycle.
>>41682182>why are you an alcoholic?I'm a FUCKING tranny lmaoand I go for slightly overpriced higher % ciders
>>41682485"Alcoholism is a disease" is a truism that alcoholics use over and over again to wring sympathy from you while they ruin the lives around them.As a former alcoholic I can tell you no one is more selfish or more of an asshole than the alcoholic who is constantly whining to everyone about how the "disease" made them do what they did.
>>41682485It really is anon, thank you for the compassion. It's lonely and terrifying. I will give him a big hug on your behalf! He'll love that
>>41682520if you really want to help your partner or save their life you would give them an ultimatum to go to AA today or you're out. You're literally killing them with kindness.All this liberal touchy feels crap about sending hugs, thoughts and prayers means nothing. YOU are the only one who can take care of YOU, 24 hours a day 365 days a year. YOU are the only one able to take action to better yourself. Are you going to just keep clinging helplessly to your partner and making excuses for what they do? You deserve better and your partner deserves cold hard honesty.
>>41682519So do you think alcoholism is purely the fault of the one consuming the alcohol? I don't think so. The warnings are there, sure, but alcohol is marketed also as a social lubricant so it's a slippery slope to fall down if someone were to consume it in excess while thinking they're just being social at first, for example. My point is, is it the alcoholic's fault for being an alcoholic, in your opinion?
>>41682519How did you get sober?
its a social lubricant and anti anxiety for me when around a lot of people.
>>41682547All cultures have pervasive drinking culture, because alcohol is addictive. Alcohol needs to be regulated by rituals and regulations because it causes chaos and destruction. Thus, parents in traditional cultures literally help get their kids hooked on alcohol to "teach them how to drink properly" if you are unlucky with your genetics, that's often how alcoholism starts. So yes it is not the fault of alcoholics that they are unfortunate and get hooked.But when the evidence of what is happening is overwhelming and you're an adult you have a very clear choice to either take a knee and admit the truth, or keep covering it up with excuses and rationalization.
>>41682590Ah yes but there is also the aspect of the chemical imbalance in the body, the fact that alcohol is an addictive substance and time without it causes the user to feel like they are missing something. Therefore, can we really trust them to act in a rational manner? Sometimes we need smart sober people to do the heavy lifting, and perhaps it is the fault of the alcohol being so widely available in the first place or the user for deciding to drink it. I think there has to be a middle ground somewhere. Really it's a case by case basis I think.
>>41682551One cold lonely rainy October night a few years ago. My then GF told me she didn't want to hang out with me tonight and was hanging out with another girl instead. The writing was on the wall at that point. She was going to leave me. My anxiety and misery was overwhelming. So I thought, well fuck it this is as good an excuse as any. I went out and bought a handle of vodka and a jug of cranberry juice and decided to start drinking. I decided I didn't care if I died. I was miserable.I blacked out, I vomited, I almost asphyxiated, i managed to regain some consciousness, rolled out of bed, vomiting and blood flying everywhere, dragged myself to the bathroom to finish with my head literally hanging off the toilet, leaving a trail of vomit blood and piss behind me. I passed out again. Woke up a few hours later. I cried. I realized I had almost died without ever talking to my brother again, I had almost taken away my ability to ever breathe air or see sunlight or feel the ground underneath me. I sent my GF a long semi deranged letter message on discord about how I knew she was breaking up with me and saying I just wanted to hear it from her. She said I was being creepy and blocked and ghosted me and banned me from her discord and left town on a road trip with the girl she had been seeing.Being called creepy and feeling humiliated, covered in vomit and blood, single, and almost died over some girl who didn't give a shit about me, I made the decision then that I would never let myself feel that way again. I've been 2 years sober since.
my life is more or less meaningless and as an otherwise average person i have basically no agency in a hyper judaic technodystopian surveillance state where you now have 50 year mortgages no jobs and everything is sanitized and everyone is insane
>>41682650I think overall it's similar to cigarettes, a mostly pointless drug that got it's foothold in human society in an era when there was much less to do and less personal freedom.Instead of spending the money on liquor you could buy cake, or a videogame, or go on a dating app and have sex or open Spotify and listen to music. I think alcohol is now obsolete and should basically be banned like any other toxic substance-- the government and corporations shouldn't profit from addicition.
>>41682710This is all very familiar to me, I am so glad you survived it. So you felt so bad you never want to feel that bad again. I'll hold onto that. Seems like viewing alcohol as embarrassing is a good tool as I've seen that merely seeing it as bad doesn't do enough to deter. You've helped a lot
>>41682736I don't want to listen to music or play videogames. That stuff is boring. I played games as a kid. Music I listen to all the time. Doesn't excite me as much as it used to, I still listen to the same old songs and I'm only 21. What I need is new sensory experiences. And alcohol gives me that. So?
>>41682499get lost loser. please fucking touch grass. noone is interested in ur retarded reddit slop
>>41682182I'm a repper and I love drinkingit lets me temporarily numb the pain of being trapped in a disgusting man bodyport wine is my favorite, high abv for the money and tastes pretty okay
>>41683932you're clearly not an alcoholic, cause wine stops being an effective or even economical way to get buzzed if you drinkr regularly.
>>41682182I actually don't drink often, I smoke far more weed. I'm medicinally licensed though, a quarter ounce of weed (legal/illegal) is about the same price for a 24-pack of Lion Red here, and I prefer this way more. Gotta admit, love a good bottle of soju though
>>41685055I don't really seem to have much of an increase in tolerance even though I drink a lot but I definitely do drink a lotport wine is like 20%, I drink vodka/rum a lot too but port does the job just fine by itself
>>41685056That container is cute it looks like some kinda body cream. We don't have those over here cus it's illegal :( is the weed tasty?
>>41686291Very tasty yeah and it turns me into puppy :333
>>41682182Alone, in a stressful degree, I just really like beer.I try to ration and exercise but when I drink it's 10+ beers in a sitting.I hate it and I hate myself. Them's the breaks kid.
