Anybody else an alcoholic?

[Ciggavelli]

Yeah, got a few questions for you:

- what made you go to rehab?
- how much were you drinking when you went?
- how did it help you?

I like hearing success stories; motivates me.

I actually discussed that in great detail here:

If you still have some questions, I'll be happy to answer them

I'm at an age where alcoholism doesn't even register; I have friends that are alcoholics but wouldn't even be pointed out, some are at their late stages in college or just reaching their mid-20s.
Going out multiple times a week and drinking like a fish is still "normal."
I have a beer at most when I go out, same for when I'm at home.
Drinking makes me sleepy, and the only benefit is the removal of anxiety.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Nothing better than having few drinks then they urge to smoke some good green. I couldn't be an alcoholic tho, That's not a good look, at all.

I'm an alcoholic. Need to slow the fukk down but my life has been shyt lately. I've been extremely lucky.

I've had a few wake up calls lately. I had an ex who drank so bad, she had alcohol induced seizures. Now I have a homie who is in his early 30s with kidney failure and needs dialysis multiple times a week.

Damn my dad just startrd dialysis at 65 and I thought he was too young. I take my dad to dialysis in the morning before work and I see a couple of folks my age in there along with the older folks.

Does ur homie look different after being on dialysis? Any negative signs u see by him being on dialysis like him slowing down?

Surprised I haven’t been tagged in this thread yet. Everyone here knows I’m the resident alcoholic. 90% of my posts are done under the influence. I’m drinking a beer as a type this. The hard liquor comes after midnight

Lowkey we haven't been on the best of terms in recent months. He was 6'1 pushing 300, and from what I heard he lost 60-70lbs in 5 months or so.

Wanna buy 2 40s cause it's my day off. I keep repeating what will happen if I do. I won't go to the gym, I'll stay home tonight, drink more, and pass out. I'll wake up fat with a hangover and cause it's payday I'll probably start drinking early and spend the whole day drunk, another day, no exercise or dieting. That means Friday I'll be super hungover and probably won't workout again. I'll feel super overweight and will not be productive at all. Because of the hangover I'll probably fall asleep at work and put my job in jeopardy. The whole day I'll feel crippling anxiety, regret, and shame.

My dad is an alcoholic, and I believe I’m slowly turning into one, as every other day I’ll sit in my truck and go through half a pint of e&j. My pop is a functioning alcoholic, as he can and will drink for a few hours, get drunk, and then be in the bed by 7:30. He’ll get right on up at 4 am, and go to work like it’s nothing. He gets off at 3, then will start drinking around 5.

Me, I used to be so scared of alcohol due to seeing my dad drinking every day. I didn’t drink my first drink until 22, but that first drink I had was some moonshine in Tennessee at a U of T party, and it went down pretty smooth, so I kept drinking and became a social drinker. Anytime I went to an event of some sort, I had to be drunk. I wasn’t really drinking much though, and didn’t really start drinking much until I got laid off 3 years ago. The stress was killing me, and I felt less of a man because my fiancé was making real good money just like I was, but I became somewhat intimidated. Every time she’d ask me if she’d need to cover the check or pay such and such bill, it would hurt. I needed something to clear my mind, and liquor did that. One of the best feelings is being drunk; I can’t explain it. I’m a happy drunk too. I’m not an alcoholic yet, but I do go through a half a pint every other night. I can kill a bottle of crown or E&J. Whenever my boy is in the city, I get damn stupid. I’m lowkey thankful to the Lord I haven’t gone to jail on public intoxication or some shyt like that. One thing I can say is I’ve never let my daughter see me drunk, and I promised myself and my fiancé I’d never let her see me in that state. I used to hate seeing my daddy like that, I’ll be damned if I do that to her.

My advice to people is, alcohol is dangerous and be careful with it. If you haven’t started, then don’t. If you have, try not to allow yourself to drink when going through something.

Facts, especially when you are around people you enjoy or on the town. Being drunk enhances the fun all the time

i feel you breh, i hate them type of hangovers that are filled with shame and regret even though i would have done nothing.

about the bolded, are you female or are you battling weight/ confidence/self esteem issues? i find that when dealing with stress alcohol is a no no..i started drinking heavy when i travelled a lot through work many years ago, i was young and never enjoyed life away from my town so although well paid for it..i found that part of my job stressful and alcohol was my way of coping until returning home.

and another point is i stopped enjoying alcohol about 5 years ago but i still drink.

Once upon a time...

I used to smoke a ton of weed.. Like daily. Several times daily..

I eventually stopped and then just had a few beers here and there, which eventually turned to a daily thing. Most of my adult life I'd never been much of a drinker until then. I learned how to sustain the buzz getting fukked up with alcohol which allowed me to drink for hours without getting sleepy or sick..

Fast forward about a year and it was full blown few drinks every day after work and completely smashed on the weekends.. Bad hangovers ,fights, fukkin up and all that ol shyt...

i went got help and got sober and have been sober since for some years now..

I'm here to tell you guys who are struggling or think you might have a problem with alcohol or drugs (yes this includes weed), as frightening as it may seem making the decision to get sober would be the best decision of your fukking life!!!

 

[Rigamortus]

Im a functioning alcoholic.

Drink about 2 glasses of tequila or beer depending on my mood every night and used to get shytfaced every weekend but that changed once I found out i had a kid.

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

I drink but try not to too often.

My grandmama died of cirrhosis when my pops & uncle were 8. My pops dead now but he used to drink & my uncle still does even worse since my pops died and I'm talking since 2006. Gotta cousin who is an alcoholic also & you can see his eyes yellow but breh wouldn't listen if you told him breh you fukked up & need to detox. My family on both sides alcoholics like a motherfukker.

I keep milk thistle around as precaution though

weed cures Alcoholism

just sayin' I'd rather ingest something that has healing properties than something that your system treats like poison
