No, I live in Wisconsin
Yeah, I haven’t had a drink in ten years
I won't let you drink alone, Brad
>>540603913I've managed to be self-disciplined and don't get addicted to alcohol.Addiction is a personal flaw, not a disease.
>>540603913>>540603913>Have you managed to tame your alcohol addiction?Yes, I quit six months and lost 50 pounds now 224 lbs.
>>540604302
No gotta stay loyal to your first love.
>>540604302Lol you still weigh more than my 1.5L wine per day ass
>>540603913its more a temporary problem... but thank you mentioning it, i will take a glass of whisky right now^^
>>540603913alcohol addiction is no different than any other addiction, food, coffee or any other drug like coke, meth, weed, pills etc, it's all just a dopamine hit, if you have control over yourself you don't need to worry about anything like that, you won't get fat because you won't over-eat, you won't have problems because you won't over-drink etc just have better self controlif you can't control yourself stay away from these things or you'll be fucked
>>540603913I never had a drop of alcohol in my life
>>540603913Good for him. Making it a point to be sober is a sign of weakness
>>540603913I wish the Oklahoma Chad well.
>>540603913Nah. Been drinking everyday since the start of the decade. Last few weeks were a bit of a bender since I had vacation. Been working since last Friday and today was the first day I managed to eat something without having 10 beers in me first. I really don't want to continue living like this but I also fear that if I go to rehab, I lose my job.
>>540603913Elton john
>>540603913I never developed one. Alcohol and tobacco are truly disgusting enough that I can't consider people who use them to be my equal in any way.
>>540603995Nobody cares faggot, this isn’t Reddit.
>>540607251Shut up jeet
>>540603913Phenibut reduces withdrawals and is a healthier alternative. Get some NAC too to help repair your liver & reduce visceral fat
>>540607309Phenibut is incredibly addictive. It should be stressed that someone wanting to take phenibut should only do it for a short amount of time.
>>540603998heroic
>>540603913Good idea! I should at least enjoy some cider.Haven't had a drop for years I guess.
Never got addicted in the first place.
>>540606800Prove it!
>>540606800Hi Trump.
>>540607414I personally don't find it incredibly addictive. It modulates GABA like alcohol so it produces a similar calming feeling but it doesn't activate dopamine receptors so it lacks the euphoric of alcohol
Posting this from rehab rn It gets better bros… and we all have the ability, I was drinking handles everyday and at work too. I finally checked in. My insurance is being billed $130k for my stay here. Another few more weeks… I’ve been here since the beginning of July
>>540603913It's not an addiction. I can stop anytime I want.
>>540607820>My insurance is being billedI know enough about burgers to know that's not true
>>540603913He's a boomer it's probably a glass of wine with dinner
>>540606922I don't think he associates with this mudshark shithole
>>540603913K
>>540608071You still get fucked, like that anon will be a debt slave the rest of his life, but yeah. If you're actually doing a handle a day, it's that or death.
>>540603913The Fear of the LORD is clean.

>>540608259hey bradsorry you got divorce raped by angelina and now shes trooning out the kidsnext time wed a waitress in montana.-pete, i liked fight club
Saw my dad and both grandpas have alcohol issues so have never allowed myself to have more than one drink a day.
Never had one.And I can tame any addiction I may be prone to! Not just saying that... I mean literally, I can control the wants easily when I feel like it.
>>540607309>Take this even worse addictive benzo that's only approved in Russia wew lad
>>540603913If these were "my" kids I'd drink too. Bigly.
>>540607309>withdrawalsI have no idea the ridiculous amounts of alcohol you’d have to consume regularly to have withdrawals. I drink the equivalent of 12-16 beers every other day (used to every day) and have never had any withdrawals when taking a break.
>>540608875It's only approved in Russia because it was invented in the USSR, so US regulators refused to acknowledge its existence because it was invented by Commies. That's also why it isn't prohibited in the US either
>>540609058Yeah I don't know if it helps with literal "the shakes" withdrawals, it just helps ease the "I really could use a drink right now" feeling if you're trying to quit or reduce drinking. Other GABA agonists like kava seem to do the same thing, but kava is usually more expensive in my experience. I made the mistake of getting phenibut powder once and wouldn't recommend because it's hard to dose, taking too much makes you retarded and clumsy like alcohol but without the fun feeling
>>540603913World is so fucked that even Brad fucking Pitt can't bear it.We never even had a chance...
>>540603913Ozempic did that to me
Me too, Brad. Suffer well. My bender is over. Had to bite the bullet. Thank god my heart is strong, it can get scary.
>>540603913im surprised he made it that long
Whats a safe taper timeline for someone who drinks 10-12 beer a day and has for a decade?
>>540603913Because of his worthless kids and cunt wife
>>540606800I've had drops but never found the taste enjoyable so never got into itThank fuck too, even just average booze seems crazy expensive, and I used to have a housemate who would cover the coffee table in empty cans every other night, as a frugal person the idea of being tempted to such binging as a normal habit is kind of terrifying
>>540603913if you have stopped drinking or would like to try and protect your liver, the allicin produced from chopped/smashed/chewed raw garlic (about 1-2 cloves raw per day) has shown clinical prrof of helping clean and protect teh liver from alcohol related damange. Most of the NAC studies show good promise with NON alcoholic fatty liver. Note that jarred minced garlic will nothave allicin. Cooking will greatly reduce the allicin. The allicin is produced when the raw garlic is damaged. Best method is to smash up a raw clove or 2 and then wait 5-10 minutes as the damaged cell contents will produce the allicin which is the active compound. then, eat the shit. 6 weeks of this clears up quite a bit of damage. Lycopene may help before drinking as well, but several hours prior. Sun dried tomatoes is an excellent source of lycopene. Don't think that it makes you invincible though, consider it as a backing down/quitting grace period. ACS Publications data below.Allicin (5 and 20 mg/kg bw/day) was orally administered daily in the AFLD mice for 4 weeks. The results indicate that allicin promotes hepatoprotection by significantly reducing aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels (p < 0.05) in the plasma, which are key indicators of liver damage
>>540603998It's Tuesday noon here in Commiefornia and I'm halfway through this bottle of this Chardonnay
>>540603913Good for him. Men drink whiskey and chill in thrir mansions and it bothers nobody. I’d be a drunk too having yo put up with turbo roastie Angelina “adopt a bunch of kids from SEA Joley instead of making me real babies. Can you imagine what their daughter or son would look like? Hawt. Americans need to get over this stigma they have against addicts and recovered alchoholics. Tommy Lee was literally injecting whiskey with a band member. Shot up enough medicinal quality heroin to nod out an entire metropolitan city and no one bitched or judged him. Meanwhile Pamala is still pining over him and he has a constant stream of qt. 3.14’s a quarter his age clambering over each other to get to his dick. Quit judging people wanting to feel good. Expecially my fellow Christians. Jesus drank wine and there is only one vague scripture afainst pharmacea neanwhile there are entire chapters warning against fornication that no one talks or cares about. Just leave people alone to be who they want. Or at least quit cherry picking sins you like and judging lesser sins you don’t like.
>>540603913he never tamed it to start with, he just started hiding it better, that's what the whole divorce thing was over and the adopted kids complained about, he would get drunk and hit them.He's a closted homosexual.
>>540611035if you are on blood thinners, start small. if you are on blood thinners and are drinking enough alcohol to be concerned about your liver, you probably already don't give a shit. allicin does have a blood thinning effect. i am not a doctor, do not consider this qualified medical advice. consult your doctor for a very thorough invasive prostate exam if you feel you are in need of medical treatment.
>>540603913I'm not dumb enough to damage my brain and think that inducing retardation & nausea/dizziness is in any way fun or exciting.
>>540603991Kek
>>540603913I cut way back and only drink occasionally. It's fun, but also is a good reminder why I don't drink a lot anymore.>>540603995Good for you, Anon.
I actually just start drinking almost daily just last year. Ive never been a drinker before but its fun so far.
>>540607309Does nac really do that? How'd much should I take a day? Do I cycle on an off?
>>540603913I'm never going to quit. But the frequency in which I imbibe is much lower in my late 30s. I you don't like it, don't do it. And shut the fuck up about it. >>540608071He probably had a decent "big boy" job sitting in an office doing nothing. And now he's going to be one of those guys who makes sobriety his personality.
>>540610684Beer only? You can do cold turkey without any issues. You'll have the shakes for a few days, but after that you'll start to feel much better. Suggest you go to your local AA meetings to help keep you sober.t. Was 12 beers a day for 17 years, quit cold turkey. Almost 3 years sober now.
>>540611467NAC will work great on NON alocholic fatty liver. for alcohol related damage, allicin has produced more evidence of action/improvement. works best when alcohol is stopped as well. still has some effects if you're struggling. add in lycopene during that struggle period, best to take in the lycopene 2-4 hours before drinking. it's not a pass to down a fifth, it's like a 5mph over the speed limit buffer.
A couple years without, it's easy
>>540611467>listening to someone on /pol/ tell you what to put in your body
>>540607188
>>540611467Idk it seems to improve insulin response and reduce oxidative stress, there's some mixed small sample studies showing it can help the liver. I think it helped me lose some beer belly & helped reduce snoring because it dissolves mucus so less nasal congestion. Seems to help reduce allergies too.
I'm one month sober (record is 2 years). I've finally accepted that all the times I relapsed, my life didn't improve. I hate who I am when I'm drunk.
>>540611442if you find yourself shitting bright yellow or even pale gray shits, you are looking a bile issue which means a very stressed liver/liver damage.
>>540603913all the men in my family have had some level of problem with alcohol so I just never touched it as an adult.
>>540603913Yeah actually. Not an issue for me anymore. I drink in moderation and only actually get drunk a few times a year.I’m against drunkenness and alcoholism and also against Alcoholics Anonymous culture on the opposite side.Middle path is the key. All things in moderation. Just straight up quitting if you enjoy drinking is almost like cheating. You’re not actually learning self control. I always keep in mind this story about Joseph Smith the guy who founded Mormonism (I’m not Mormon or anything but I like this story) He gave a whole long sermon about the dangers of using tobacco and how it was sinful and unhealthy or whatever at the end of it after lecturing everyone about it, he lit up a cigar. That’s how I more or less think you should deal with these things.
>>540611916Basically NAC helps reduce oxidative stress. Drinking too much regularly increases oxidative stress. Gylcine, vitamin B6 & magnesium seem helpful too for naturally increasing brain GABA -> reduced urge to drink
>>540603913>Sober 12 years.>Go outside.>Watch all the dumb motherfuckers wandering around in this bullshit society for 10 min>Go back in side.>Crack open a handle of Jack.
>>540608911How are two out of six already balding when Pitt and Jolie have a full head of hair in their late 50's?!
>>540608116i've tried this and it doesn't make sense, unless there's more than two people joining dinner. once that bottle of precious wine is open and decanted, it needs to be gone before the next day or tilt. the lady will decline after a glass. now you're in a dilemma. drink the rest or chuck half a bottle. i stopped doing this. let brad have his drink. we all need some dope to cope.
>>540604302>224Time for a new scale fat boy.
>>540603913My last drink was in 2018. Was a bottle and half of scotch. Sobered up in the hospital with 2 broken ribs, i once again fell asleep behind the wheels and crashed my car into a tree. 8 Years off now, and i wont drink another glass of alcohol in my lifetime. Fun thing is when i am surrounded with alcoholized people, i somehow also end up being "drunk" even tho i only drink water, idk what kind of mimetic mind trick it is, but it works. Basically ghost booze, which is free, don't destroy my liver, allow me to drive and don't give me headhache the tomorrow morning. Would recommand/10.
>>540613764>no likes>24 viewsI would drink myself to death desu
>>540613461They don’t take adrenochrome or cover themselves in stem cells yet
>>540607094You don't need to go to rehab to stop alcohol anon.All you need is a strong will.jk, replace alcohol with weed, at least it wont destroy your body, alcohol is the worst poison imaginable for your organs.
>>540603913>greek flagThat shit gimme dating ptsd now. I have greek spammer fatigue
>>540607544this. I don't drink. Period. I never started. Never felt like it. Besides, all I know is that alcohol is bad for my gains.
>>540608606I liked Fight Club also
>>540608259Yeah I can't blame him for that.
>>540613857Ghost booze is real. I also experience this.
>>540603995Bout time for a celebratory drink I’d say. I’ll never forgive AA for denying Bill W his dying request for a whiskey.
>>540614443Thank god i'm not crazy lol, i was wondering if i was alone in this self-induced "secondary state". Do we know why is this even a thing? It's not like i try to convince myself i'm drunk, it just happen.
Yes i havent been drunk since yesterday. I couldn't work today but tomorrow i will be productive.I will overcome it.
>>540614719There was a study done way back where college students were given NA beer without being told and they acted just as drunk as if it were the real stuff, including failing sobriety tests. Groupthink is extremely powerful.
DUI ruined my life
>>540614155>replace alcohol with weed,Worst advice ever.
>>540603913Have you managed to tame your breathing addiction?
>>540615102how so?
>>540603913I go through kratom withdrawals right now (monthly tolerance break) and this thread really tempts me to open those three bottles of wine I have stashed, in solidarity with Brad.The problem is that I'm well aware the hangover on top of withdrawal would kill me tomorrow.Luckily I have plenty benzos to save the day.
>>540615102>>540615200Replace it in the short term but quit it as soon as you can
>>540615200Answering substance addiction with substance addiction is like paying off a credit card with another credit card that has a higher interest rate.
>>540613461Theyre adopted lmaoObviously the niggers arent theirs
>>540603913Based
>>540615200That shit gives you schizophrenia and generally numbs and dumbs you, kiffer are SLOW drinkers just get a fucked liver and that will spill over into bellyfat.Really heavy drinkers will face additional problems but as the saying goes:>Die Dosis macht das Gift
I heard kudzu extract can help you get rid of addictions but also gives you estrogen.
haven't been drunk in 60 days. every few weeks i'll have some drinks with dinner or a social event. but had a death in the family and cannot handle the depression that comes with a hangover. the sober depression is hard enough.
>>540611156Good lad >>540614253Based foid?
>>540603913Why do quitters glorify their quittiness so much?
>>540615036That fucking sucks. One time a pig was following me at night while I was sauced up and I was shaking with fear until he finally left, gotta count my lucky stars kek
>>540603913he looks happy. Just let people enjoy things
>>540603913I typically drink a few times a month. Alcoholics are retards. Completely sober people creep me out. I'm happy for him.
>>540607251Are you a retarded nigger? That was OPs question.
>>540611319>Damages the brain That's the whole goddamn point. If life is good while sober then you didn't need it to begin with. It meant you're below the threshold of comprehension. Alcohol brings you down to the level of understanding that Africans and other happy but retarded people inhabit
>>540615536So can mega dose vitamin C/lysine supposedly
>>540603913Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
was a daily drunk for 16 years, then stopped for 7, then started again when my dog died for 1 year, now sober again for 4 years.
>>540603913I did not care for F1. Ford vs Ferrari was the better film. Looking forward to the Cliff Booth movie around Christmas.

Born and raised here in Los Angeles… currently living in the Valley.We went from +100 degree weather to it being super cloudy and fresh today and it eve drizzled here on the border of Van Nuys/North Hollywood.Bet you were up for an earthquake. Screen cap this, anon. God speed.
I don't know. Nowadays I usually drink a 24 pack of Modelo from Fri-Sun. I might have 20 of those. I didn't think that was bad and then a coworker basically said that it was and now I'm unsure.
>>540603913Fucking based. Get drunk daily until you DIE!
>>540603913He's a decent sized man with a decent sized liver. He'll have his fun, live, write a book about it, maybe a movie. It's good to be rich.
>>540603913I want to slice your neck open you greek piece of shit
>>540603913I'm drinking right now.
>>540603913Is he really letting this angelina demon get to him by making his kids hate him? Just make new kids and this time make sure you keep all the rights so a foid can’t steal them from you.
>>540614719It’s literally just placebo but also probably code switching in real-time to the degeneracy and disinhibition that your surroundings are emitting.
>>540614253Beautiful woman actually putting her feminine powers to use. That’s what life is about ya know. If you’re a woman, using your tits and womb and pussy to pleasure a man. If you’re a man being a destroyer , of your enemies, and of your woman’s pussy.
>How have none of you not posted pic rel?
>>540603913I drink about twice a week, and around 25-28 units per time. Been doing that for many years. It has never escalated and it never will. I'm even a neet, but I can't drink two days straight. I don't like being drunk all the time. Just a couple of times per week. If you feel the need to be drunk all the time, you have some serious personal issues you need to deal with. I literally just drink my boredom away now and then. I should get a job or something, but it's also nice with freedom.
>>540615644>Based foid?Adult Nursing Relationship (ANR) is a real fetish couples get into. I'm honestly surprised that more /pol/ users haven't heard of it, what with the milkies posting and milkies memes.

>>540603913i hate alcohol

people are deficient in glutamine and gaba related cofactors becuse we cant afford to eat as much animal foods as humans used to do
>>540606557Damn dude, thats around 10 standard drinks a day, how do you not perpetually feel like shit?
>>540613741Just finish the bottle while browsing the chins hans. Had a cheeky little traminer blend from alsace recently btw. Not too bad

>>540615283If you've been an alcoholic for years and the only way you manage to quit is weed, you'd be an idiot not to do it. There's a definite harm reduction in switching booze for weed.
alcohol is gross and I dont have any addictions
>>540603913For me alcohol and gambling was easy to quit. How the fuck I stop being a coomer tho? Thats impossible to stop
>>540606800This is political speak.

>>540618206Are you a man who appreciates it when women commit themselves to becoming devoted mothers?
>>540611319Only temporarily, eh?
>>540603991There’s literally no force behind this anymore. All small town bars are ghost towns before midnight. Covid and millenials tapped alcohol out generationally.
I get intense abdominal pain if I drink. Its the only thing that tamed my alcoholism. Now im just a dry drunk.
>>540619753Sounds like you have an ulcer or some other condition
>>540603913I'm either drunk, hungover or a mixture of both
>>540603913i used to drink a ton of in college but stopped after i started working a real job and didn't want to feel like shit while doing it. but about a year ago i moved to NYC and decided to start drinking heavily because i don't have to drive anymore, i was drinking every day for about 8 months straight, and now whenever i drink anything i puke the next day even if its dry heaving so i stopped. i also now just feel permanently tired and my stamina isn't coming back so im going to be sober for a while until i feel like myself again.
>>54060391315 months sober.Fucking easiest shit to beat and I'm a ex-woman beater

>>540606800Apart from a sip of beer my grandad gave me as a kid, which I hated, the only alcohol I've ever had was a bottle of sake I bought when I was going through a weeb phase. It didn't taste great either.
>>540611467take milk thistle instead
>>540622530>>540611467>>540611746and garlic, allicin is from garlic
Grandfather started smoking at 11, survived WW2 drank every night never drunk just drink had a car crash 86 and broke a hip declined but even in his last he would take his wheelchair to the porch and light up. After 60 what the hell is the point of being ramrod sober.
>>540603913>Have you managed to tame your alcohol addiction?Kinda. Was sober for 9.5 years, relapsed for a month, and when I tried to kick it again, I went cold turkey, had a withdrawal seizure that caused a stroke, and partially paralyzed my left side. Been sober (again) for four years now.
>>540603913WHAT A LIFE
>>540614493Funny also that when Bill W. had his "spiritual awakening," where he saw god and got sober, he happened to be strapped to a hospital bed, tripping on belladonna. No one in AA likes to talk about that.
>>540603913I replaced it with weed smokingi cant say its better
