Alcoholics Anonymous is a fucking cult.

I used to drink every single day. I decided to not drink this year, it's April now and I'm fine, because I have a rational attitude when it comes to booze. AA treats it like it has some mystical power to dominate your brain when getting drunk all the time is just a lazy ass habit.

Kelsey is based smashed so much pussy and was always high and drunk on frasier and had a smoke show if a daughter

AA is a cult.

How do they reform alcohol? Is it mechanically recovered?

It is in a way, but it does help people to keep from drinking. Some people are just too addicted and have to give themselves up. I can't imagine an addict like Kelsey who had to go to rehab can maintain a drink or two a day attitude without eventually sinking down that hole.

Addiction is NOT a Disease. It's an outcome of disorder.

Did you just quit cold turkey? How did your body and mind react to that?

>implying alcohol isn't one of the most addicting drug
Remember everyone's brain is different, some people are pre-disposed to alcoholism

Yeah, that's because you're not an alcoholic. I've known "recovering" alcoholics and drug addicts who go sober for months but are completely unable to control themselves the second they touch the stuff again. Addiction is tied to mental illness, most people can deal with alocohol fine but alcoholics have pre-existing problems in their brains that make them unable to.

Cold sweat and really vivid nightmares the first week, nothing really after except the irritating emptiness of spending a Friday night without a big glass of whiskey in your hand, steadily refilling it over and over until you're literally emptying the glass as soon as you fill it.

It's not a good feeling or a particularly bad one, my head feels as muddled as it ever did when I was drinking but this is better for my body, I don't get the chest pains or awful shits I used to get.

Based, obviously. He doesn't buy into the whole, "Alcoholism is a disease," bullshit and learned some self control. Fair play to him.

reminder that zoomers only know kelsey grammer from this

youtube.com/watch?v=Eu-BqOsvj00

he will never recover from this video.

I see. Seems like the same things I get when i get off weed after ive been on it for some weeks. I dont mind anymore desu, but the sweating and waking up at night isnt ideal.

anyone who drinks more than 1-2 drinks a week is JUST
it's fucking science, you lower your life expectancy by at least a year
I hope he really savors his last dementia-free years, because they aren't many left for him

>it's fucking science, you lower your life expectancy by at least a year
lol meme for youngfags

don't get me wrong, I drink a lot anyway, but it's nothing to be proud of
you're in denial if you think that drinking isn't extremely harmful

It's pleasurable, serves as a social lubricant, and is a staple of many cultures worldwide
So it takes a few years of your life? So what?

It's really pathetic that you have dependent on alcohol to interact with others.

I drank up to four litres of vodka a week, couldn't do it any more
Makes me feel sick to think of what damage I must have done to my body, and all that money wasted

>not needing to drink enormous quantities of alcohol to distract yourself from the everpresent thought of the inevitability of death but failing to do so while hastening the very same
Yikes and cringepilled desu

I do drugs because they’re fun I do them with people and my gf some people just like the experience

old age is worse for people who don't take care of themselves throughout their life
quit drinking and you'll feel better for longer overall

Look up his life history and you'll understand that if there's anyone that is allowed to drink everyday, it's Kelsey fuckin Grammer.

Some people are "pre-disposed" to inherited holocaust trauma too supposedly. How about taking some responsibility for your actions in life though?

What possible reason could you have for referencing a study on inherited trauma (that had nothing specifically to do with holocaust survivors, but was merely using them as a very effective sample for the study of inherited trauma) other than that you are a pathetic shit puddle of a human being obsessed with JOOOOOOZ

>needs drugs to enjoy being around people and calls someone else boring

I agree with them that alcoholics need to quit drinking forever. They just can't handle it, for whatever reason. They're totally a cult though, with all the shit about submitting to a higher power and all the weird lingo and traditions. it's a shame there's no real alternative program as far as I know.

I was completely dependant on alcohol in the late 90s and early 2000s. Drank every day as soon as I got up. Tried to quit, had seizures and heart problems. Went to detox. Didn't drink at all for about 3 years. Now I can drink whenever I want with no problems.

>(that had nothing specifically to do with holocaust survivors, but was merely using them as a very effective sample for the study of inherited trauma)
On a scale from 1-10, how Jewish are you user? My gut says 7-8 or so.

>AA treats it like it has some mystical power to dominate your brai
That's the point, it's literally (literally) a religious organization. They recruit you by catching you at the lowest point in your life, breaking you down, and building you back up in their image.

Being an alcoholic is genuinely based.
I mean that.

your genes will decide

>being able to read means you're jewish
i see "shit puddle" was giving you too much credit

I used to get shit faced every day of the week. Then I got a good job that starts early in the morning so I dont drink during the week. I still get trashed on the weekends and just don’t drink on days I have responsibilities. It’s not hard.

When I was in AA they told me to just give the program and sobriety a chance for 90 days. I gave it 90 days, and when I was done I went back to drinking but this time I moderated myself, so I keep it to one or twobeers a night instead of the 24-30 I used to drink on a daily basis. I've lost like 80 lbs too, once I stopped drinking the weight just melted off.

Ummmm no you racist

BASED, that's actually somewhat impressive

lol sounds like you need to smoke a spliff and chill out, brah

All of the people I work with mention booze on a daily basis. Sometimes they'll have 4-5 beers at lunch break.

Alcoholics only beat their wives. Weed addicts beat their collective soul of society.

what kind of beer was it usually?

That's what I told them, but they were all like no user you're actually an alcoholic and drinking at 8 am is not the sign of a functioning human being

I wish I could hang out with them

came here to post this.

also, extensive time sober heals the liver massively. he's older and wiser, hopefully he has some more self-control in his limelight years. he may just need a couple,of high-quality glasses of whatever to unwind.

1-2 drinks a week, that's it, that's the maximum healthy amount

Lol boomers

Usually either yuengling or PBR, I like craft beer too but I used to get cases of beer for 17.99 and its hard to beat prices like that

how the fuck do you misspell 'inherited' when it's written in your own shill image. /pol/ virgins are hilarious

Well I'm sure your intervention episode would have been cool. I had to get pissed when the one bitch was an "alcoholic" and was drinking a 250ml bottle of Black Velvet. If you were a real alcoholic you'd have more than that. Though I was addicted to benzos and opiates in that past so I can appreciate the bullshit. I wish I wasn't such a piece because benzos are kino but I just can't use them responsibly, especially with all the people I know online from the past 15 years or so.

It's actually incredibly based, in fact one of the most based things you can possibly do as long as he doesn't go off the rails.

it's a boomer thing to think otherwise lol, it's a relatively recent study, in the last year

Friendly reminder that AA has literally the same success rate as people who just stop drinking without joining a cult. (About 5%)

No boomers believe in the self moderation and all that if you’re young 19-29 you should be out drinking and picking up women every weak and heal iwhen you’re older you can also eat healthy and workout while at this age too

This (I’d explain why I think you’re right but I’m a bit pissed and stoned).

Yeah benzos are bad news, I used to have a script for xannies and one time I took too many and blacked out and forgot that I had taken my daily dose and I did that like 5 times until I passed out. Woke up the next afternoon and half the bottle was done, I could have easily killed myself

If you need help quitting booze or just like funny stories, watch this:

youtu.be/C1d9LfYgkRc

it doesn't really matter, fuck boomers
the science is quite clear

True I hate boomers and you’re probably right but you gotta let lose when you’re young

I can kind of understand. I'm an alcoholic but only for very specific things. I get no enjoyment from any alcohol that isn't wine or brandy. I would go through two bottles of wine a day and brandy on the weekends.

>I could have easily killed myself
It's actually pretty hard to die from benzos alone unless you combine them with other things, otherwise it's usually just blackout city for a while

Imagine being this much of a cuck. I'm not even supporting drinking every day, not even close, but holy shit dude.

your brain doesn't stop developing until you're 25 so not really

Honestly who cares most people aren’t even going to use it might as well spend it fucking and hooking up

What kind of brandy is decent but not super expensive? Other than Henny anyway.

Jeez, alkys might as well just off themselves with these success rates.

Never had a sober night for 5 years, half a fifth or more a day. A big ulcer caused by drinking with a smaller ulcer threw medical bills my way along with shitting blood. No cancer after full screening which wasn't fully covered by insurance so the bills pissed me off about my choices and I chose to go cold Turkey. First I went for a day which sucked because of how out of habit it was. I didnt sleep much, 4 hours compared to the 8-10 i needed. Found a lot more time on my hands and I was always bored. Found a hobby which turned into a passion with photography. I'm not straight edge at all, I went 2 years sober til I realized I'm using sobriety as much as a crutch as boozing. I learned to moderate and I still drink every big event like football games or birthday parties.

I realized booze was my easy way to have fun and be entertained, where in fact the passion I got replaced it entirely. alcoholism for some is just a fast bandaid for boredom.

The ones that get anxiety from cold turkey and all the symptoms from it are just weak fags. AA included.

Peace.

>Thinks substance dependence is a myth

Weakness or will power or whatever nonsense you're spouting has nothing to do with the severity of someone's withdrawal, you uneducated imbecile

I only get laid when I drink, and all the girls who sleep with me smoke. so these are the reasons I cant ever see being sober or not smoking

I used to see it all the time in AA, guy walks in and he's all proud because he's a year sober or 5 years sober and a week later he gets complacent and has a beer and before you know it he's off the rails completely, drinking mouthwash and living under a bridge.

The only reason most homeless are homeless is because of drugs and alcohol, you can always find a bed at a sober living facility or a shelter but they kick you out if you show up drunk or high and a lot of them get blacklisted as a result

Canadian trash is best for mixing and for cheap alcoholism. This applies to whiskey too.
. Brandy has ridiculous diminishing returns for price point. Good brandy is REALLY good but you need to pay out the ass for it. It has a definite taste floor though which is why brandy is pretty cost effective on the cheap and medium end

that sounds like me in highschool

Do I need a PHD to make sense of this graph or what?

yes I drink and go to bars most weekends. but Im also chronically depressed and have almost no friends so Im really not a ""normie""

don't let anyone bullshit you user I'm currently going clean after smoking weed heavily for the last 9 years and it's been quite a ride. I'm definitely displaying the symptoms of withdrawal even if its not major but thank fuck im living with my family cos i never would have been able to work the state i was in the first 3 or so week.s No sleep and essentially one long panic attack to the point i almost fainted a couple of times. Anything in moderation is fine but abusing anything has consequences and there are toooo many weed evangelicals out there who will bullshit you into thinking constant use it a good thing

If you go out most weekends, to bars no less, you're a normie.

I drink most every day and there's no issue. I'm drunk now at work, with a bottle of gin. No problems.

If you can drink and be functional, more power to you

Why would you go to a bar to drink by yourself

Why not just excercise everyday if your actually concerned with cardio health

The whole alcohol causes dementia is from research done on nutritionally deficient alcoholics.

You don’t absorb the nutrients nearly as well if you’re drinking a lot, you just piss them out.

the only reason /pol/ doesn't have censorship is that the inmates don't run the asylum and they aren't allowed to ban people they disagree with. /pol/ spinoffs like 8/pol/ and r/the_donald are strictly moderated hugboxes.

Alcoholism is only a problem if you're successful and have a family who will notice. You could be the most angry drunk in your own home but it won't be the same if you had a wife who talks about your problem to soccer moms and have friends who get annoyed by how many parties you ruin.

I do NA. I have been clean for 10 years. I could see why people would think it's a cult but I don't. Has some crossover but not really. I know people who are I legitimately cults like Gratitude Training and Landmark. In NA and AA the meetings are only an hour and people come and go, are kn their phones, it's whatever. Cults keep you emotionally and physically exhausted by keeping you in some place for like 8 to 20 hours. Also you cant leave and you can't have you phone. Also people really dont care if you stop going. You may get a phone call or two lole "hey it's probably a bad idea to shoot up again" but after a few tries people stop contacting you. Idk for me it's the only thing that worked to get off crack.
