i really want to revealuated my life in 2026, i was wondering, is it normal as a NEET to drink a 12 pack of beer per day, ill be honest here, i have 6 beers for breakfast, and i will have 6 beers after dinner, i have ritualistically been doing this since 2016 during the trump elections, i used beer as a way to cope with my boredom. I have been doing this 7 times a week 365, since that era, im kind of tired of this lifestyle, which is weird, most normies when i tell them about this think its insanity, but ive been so conditioned to this that its the only way i function, i want to become sober next year.What does the average robot think about this? i think i fried my brain desu. but im also a cig smoker, im tired of living this way, last year i went sober for 2-3 weeks after new years but i ended up buying a pack of booze and slipped back into it again, the years have just all merged into 1 week since, i feel like its still 2016 and time hasnt moved, i still am stuck in that era, im hoping i will change
I've been doing the same but not as long, I drink like 9 tall cans of beer a day and have for 4 years nowI need to stop but my brain chemistry is fried so even when I stop for a couple days I just replace the beer dopamine with something else, like taking pills and masturbating all nightThe question "is it normal", no its not you are all alcoholic and so am I
>>834955594 years is kind of the sweat spot, around 2020 lockdown i was having the most fun with alcohol as my tolerance went up and i continued to have fun, the last 2 years alcohol doesnt have the "fun" effect anymore.it becomes kind of just a ritual, also i noticed during the chrismas time i can go for 14-16 beers or like i did last night 24 beers, and im at the point im just over doing it and enough isnt enough, its getting real bad for me, i don't even get hangovers, i stopped sleeping for days.Not sure if they are putting uppers in the alcohol these days but i had these wide eye moments where im 18 beers deep and gaming and shitposting all night. sometimes ive been sharting when i fart too, its getting unfungood luck man
I'm not at a 12 pack yet but I drink a 6 pack every night. 9.5 IPA 19.5fl oz. Wake up every day with worst stomach ache ever. I hate his life
i got up to 24 a day before it really ruined my lifealcoholism is progressive so you might get there or you might decide to change your life
>>83495515You gotta tone it down or else you will get DTs when you don't have alcohol and see pink elephants and spiders that aren't there and shadow people out of the corner of your eye. Start by listening to your body and not drinking when you actually don't feel like it. Much of it can be the force of habit and you'll find yourself drinking when you would really rather eat a nice meal or just go to bed that night. Doing this will help lessen the brute force of the addiction because you're force-feeding yourself a chemical and your body has to adjust to the sheer volume of alcohol it's being fed. Then, you can taper off and tone it down a little. If you drink every day, you're an alcoholic, even just one beer. It gets boring anyway, and there are some things you would rather do that require mental acuity. Do some exercises, you'll feel pumped and great when you exercise a few times a week. I'm saying just start by not drinking when it's just a boring habit that's going to make your stomach all fucked up the next day from drinking too much. You gotta get a little more natural balance in your cycle. Being able to get to sleep without a drink is a big milestone. You'll have better quality sleep when that day comes. At least you're a NEET and don't have the pressure of a job to fit into. You could go scorched earth masochistic detox and lock yourself in a room for 2 weeks if you wanted to. I'm not saying to do that, just start to cut back when it's an empty ritual and you don't even feel like drinking anyways. That little bit of cutting back will get you a little more well balanced and put you in a little bit better health so you will FEEL LIKE doing more wholesome things instead of self destructive things.
>>83495515>12 a daydude. how much money is that? that's ridiculous. you're going to spend yourself into a hole doing this as prices go up. wean your habit a bit if only to free up some cash. target 10 a day, then 8 when you're comfortable, then 6 until you're able to make it through without drinking at all or just drinking a reasonable amount.a 12pk must be about $20, $30 depending on where you are.
I feel like the AA people gave a lot of people a real bad view of what addiction is. It's not all or nothing for most people (it is for some and that's who AA works for). People like us drink for a reason, it calms that little anxious voice and works! The only problem is that it is possible to overdo it and it's not sustainable to do everyday
>>83495515youre an alcoholic lol t. drinks 15 a night
>>83495515Youre an alcoholic. You have to choose what you want out of life. Do you wanna go do stuff or do you wanna chill and just get drunk? Theres nothing wrong with either. I just to just get drunk and do nothing for like 6 years of my life but then I got bored and wanted to go do stuff so I stopped. But do know the older you get and longer you drink the window of opportunity closes as your health declines. Theres no need to feel ashamed of your self, millions of people are alcoholics. Its because theres nothing in your life at this point thats better than getting drunk. Try to find something thats better than getting drunk. Usually that is the hard part tho.
>>83496797Toughest thing I realized once I got in a relationship and then it ended, before I dated her i just used to drink mostly every night. When I was with her I could control it easily, could just go out for a couple, was happy abstaining. Now that we've broken up I find myself back in the old pattern of drinking nearly every night again
>>83495515Starting in 2009 I started drinking. By 2013 I was drinking about 10 beers a day, and I was smoking. By 2018 I was guzzling vodka. My body got weaker and weaker. I was so weak I actually got one of those old people strollers lol. I started having seizures, then my legs swelled up like balloons.Anyho, new years 2020 I decided to quit (both). And as gay as that sounds I did.But it sucked. I remember feeling like I was food poisoned and in severe pain for weeks, I couldn't stop shivering. And then for months I felt despair. But within a year I started feeling good again.
All alcoholics ITT should consider taking glycine and N-acetylcysteine, it will help with the cravings and slowly overtime heal the damage caused by alcoholism. Godspeed.
>>83495515I'm locking myself in my bedroom for 5 days come new years with food drinks and Vidya. No nicotine, no alcohol. Been smoking and vaping for two years and just this year I got really into a habit of drinking very very often.
>>83495515I've been relatively sober in the same time period and it still feels like nothing has happened since the mid 2010s
