Being sober is cucked. Just shows you prefer being useful to other people rather than maximizing your own pleasure.

the book helped me far less than the rooms, anon. you're going to have to sit in the rooms. yes, the rooms helped.

Not me. People talk about quitting drinking and getting their shit together etc, but if you’re a true weirdo, if you have a psychotic disorder, if you get little joy from life and are just a notch above homeless bagman on the social ladder - good luck. I’ve quit for years at a time and have concrete proof in my diary that I was a nervous miserable wreck the whole time. To a confirmed Former Drunk this all sounds like a cop out - I don’t care. I’ve been drinking since I was 13, many of the men in my family are heavy drinkers (“alcoholic”). When I drink it’s so familiar and wholesome, it is a very good feeling, better than hard drugs like meth or heroin, to my mind.

The meetings were depressing. I don’t want to shit on these basically nice and welcoming people but spending an hour a week talking about how friggin’ wild you were 15 years ago isn’t how I want to spend my time. I’d rather drink <:) (and read, of course)

I prefer to max my drinking

Here’s some normie drinking advice: “Drink a bunch of water before you sleep it’ll block the hangover :)”

The true drinker knows this will result in pissing the bed and ruining yet another mattress. Man I threw my mattress out last year the stains made it look like a man had died and dissolved into it. There have been times I was pissing the bed twice a week. Put the fan on it, take a shower, off to work. True drinkers do not fear hangovers and rarely mention or complain about them, they know it’s worth it. If it’s bad, 1-2 beers will make it go away.

I found Living Sober a more useful book than the Big Book
The Big Book annoys me

Just take ozempic. GLP-1s cure alcoholism at the source.

It didn't help me, nor did AA in general, but I only attended for 3 months.
What really helped me was creating a life which I was too afraid to lose. It was difficult to do, but once everything was in place I no longer felt like I could drink as I did before.
I'm not a believer in the whole AA thing of "once an alcoholic always an alcoholic" since it convinces you that all of your actions are a result of an illness rather than your own stupidity.
Once I took accountability for my drinking things got easier since I had no thing to blane anymore.

barney gumble mindset

If you have three drinks in one day, you are an alcoholic. You now have a disease for the rest of your life. If you drink once in a while you are in denial.

The only solution is to give up on your self respect and go to church every week. Just trust me bro
