I spend so much money on alcohol. Before all this Covid shyt, I was going to speak with a counselor/therapist every week. Found out I drink to cope, and was recommended to go to AA. I don’t think I need it, but I’m going to give it a try. My father is a high functioning alcoholic. Gets drunk every night, and still manages to get up early in the morning for work. I don’t know how he does it. He’s been that way since I was about 8 or 9, and I’m 31 now.

I always promised myself and my little girl I’d never let her see me like I used to see my father. Man, after 8:00pm you couldn’t even talk to him. I had both parents in my life, in my household, but I never had my pop to help me with stuff such as homework. I would teach myself. I didn’t have sleepovers with friends, etc. He’d be drunk, and I’d be ashamed to have me friends see him like that. My mama escaped it through the church. She’d always be at the church, and me and my siblings had to deal with my dad. He wasn’t no mean drunk. Lol, he was goofy. He just wasn’t much help after about 8. I refuse to let myself get like that.
Damn bro. That’s rough. I wish everyone in this thread much success

That's the default option for most people but (A) Weed legit fukks with job prospects and (B) that shyt fukks me up. Don't know what it is, but that shyt just ain't the move.

Fixing to try and give this shyt up again brehs. I hate feeling like shyt when i start drinking. Anybody else there yet? where you get anxiety and feel like shyt until you are like 3 drinks in, and then it finally becomes ok? Tired of feeling like shyt, tired of being skinny fat, tired of workouts not mattering because even if you do work out that 1200 calories of beer isn't doing you any favors. Don't even really feel like eating unless its to make sure i don't throw up everywhere. Tired of my stomach feeling like shyt. And the one thing that really has me is, I can't come up with ideas, my brain is just like turned off, trying to learn something new is a struggle, tired of feeling stupid.
Have you considered AA?

I went to a meeting like when i was in my 20's shyt was super depressing. Nah fukk that. Thats not the way for me.
My uncle just got out of the hospital after his sugar went over 1000 and his pancreas was failing. He has been an alcoholic for 30 plus years. We are trying to get him to go to AA but he says the same thing you are. Seems it's not for everyone.

Damn. that's crazy. but nah AA isn't the only way. I think that actually sets people back. because they legit feel like that's the only way, and that's whats pushed. It could work tho, Not saying it couldn't it just wasn't for me.

When you’re a seasoned smoker such as myself, there is no way you should fail a drug test...only non beatable test is hair, at that point you need to prioritize what’s more important to you
