Liquor store employees start commenting on the frequency of your visits

If it gets to this point, might be time to check out your local AA chapter

Leaving Las Vegas
and isn’t booze cheaper at the grocery?

I got prescribed adderall last year and have only drank probably ten times since then. Have absolutely zero desire to drink at all.

>barmaid pretends to worry if it's the first time they've seen you in weeks
>hugs you when you leave

>tell liquor store I'm moving away

That's fucking amazing and kind of sweet. More details. How many years had you been going there, how much would you buy on an average week, did you shoot the shit with the employees

>store employee cals you "The Nips Guy"
>he's fired a week later

: )

How do I stop bros?

I've been to AA. It's all based on christian religion so it's total bullshit.

Isn't that Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome?

You gotta realize that you're only doing it out of habit and there is absolutely nothing stopping you from going a week without a drop
After that see if you can go longer

Taxi Driver is peak doomer kino. Aside from the fact he can drive and has a job.

I wasn't ready for this.

bullshit in the sense that it doesn't produce results or that it requires you to have faith in something unreasonable?

In Texas they only sale it at liquor stores

I haven't had a drink since ash Wednesday. Going strong. I'll probably just go to drinking on weekends after Easter.

That’s because you are now on legal meth which is a much bigger amount of dopamine then alcohol, you are also fucking with your brains pleasure center way worse then you are with alcohol. Good luck

>mom comments on how shaky your hands are while you're attempting to eat with a fork

I try to hit the same store after work because it’s on the way home but fuck, guess I’ll have to start doing this

>don’t tread on me
>only our local/state government is allowed to, HARD

I feel like a fucking sham but I’m able to hold a job.

*>nurse at drug and alcohol clinic

I don't mind it. I like my specs store and think alcohol is degenerate and needs to be controlled on a local level. I have no issue with dry countries ether. Texas used to let 18 year olds drink until MAD lobbied the US government to end high way funding in Texas if we didn't change it to 21.

I think that is more fucked up the fucking Walmart in the ass and protecting mom and pop shops.

Stop drinking. I'm about to turn 30 and wasted my entire twenties being a useless alcoholic until social problems forced me to finally quit.

It seems hard and it is but if you can make it the first 3-4 weeks it starts to get a lot easier. Just stop now.

I hope I die before I'm 30 lad

She gave me a look and I never went back. I moved across the country and found a new Wendy's

Are you a big guy

LMAO

Being 30 is awesome though. Prime of my life. My early 20s sucked so hard, now I have a wife and baby.
Fat as fuck.

Do you get the fo fah fo wit a strawberry leminade?

if you're going to be a booze bag, the least you can do is own it and not be a pussy.

I am about 20 lbs overweight right now. I was /fit/ when the story happened though.

>decide to randomly ask the liquor store guy a question about something
>his tone instantly switches and he is happy to talk and starts rambling about his life for a couple minutes
>now greets me when I come in

I was drunk one night, and out of beer, and had friends over.
I went to the liquor store to but a 30 pack.
The store owner refused to sell it to me. My friends were bummed about that.
I went back the next day, and thanked him for his concern about my well being.
He turned down a sale to make sure I was going to be OK.

It's always so good to form little bonds with people like this.

Except death from alcohol withdrawal of you are a serious drinker.

>when the pint starts getting pulled as soon as they see your car pull up
>tfw atleast five of the barmaids/bartenders do this

>have faith
Get the fuck out. I'm tired of that word being used as a blanket defense for religions. Might as well stick your fingers in your ears and go neener neener.

Yea I'm aware of that. I'm prescribed a small dose of 10 mg of which I only take half of. At higher doses I turn into a zombie and the next day I'm depressed/lethargic. At the current dose I'm on I haven't noticed any deleterious effects.

That's usually when my autism kicks in and I find a new place to go.

It depends on the person. I drank probably half a fifth of liquor every night at least for 3 years straight. I changed jobs which required me to live in the field on rotation. No alcohol allowed. Two people quit so I was out there for 56 days.

I never got the shakes or anything like that. The worst thing that happened was I had a little trouble getting to sleep on night 2.

If you wake up with the shakes, it is time to cut back, or quit.
Delirium Tremons can kill you. Take care, user.

the third day is the hardest if you have easy access to it
after that, it's easy if you have the willpower

*easier and easy enough, anyway
it's just a matter of effort, but it's a lot easier if you have people to rely on
there's always an AA meeting somewhere

I drank at least a 6 pack every night for 5 years straight and when I quit I got a 101 degree 48 hour fever on day 6 and periodic night sweats for the first two weeks.

>liquor store
why do americans have specific stores for alcohol?

Sad, but I understand. Maybe you should try challenging yourself to stick to it, you might learn something.

Yeah. I'm back on rotation and when I'm home, I have the overwhelming desire to drink. But when I'm in the field, I don't even think about it.

My half brother is one of those people who will get the shakes if he quits drinking after just a week of binge drinking. Thanks for the advice. I'm currently home and will-powered my way through 2 days of not picking up any booze. I honestly feel better and get so much done.

AAs great, there's always people trying to quit so they basically give away their booze

same

But I'm not buying liquor at my liquor store. Only chocolate cream-filled donuts and soda.

I do this, but for EVERY type of store I go to. 7 different grocers, 7 different banks, 7 different gas stations, 7 different liquor stores, and it just goes on from there

81 days sober today. You can do it OP.

I just give it up for lent every year and tell myself I am going to cut back. Being a dad has slowed down my drinking. I don't know if I am ready to give up something I enjoy. I like zoning out listening to music when drunk. Also I can only enjoy corny movies like bond when drinking.

It is kinda pointless though.

Drinking something else helps. Try iced green tea zero Cal or diet soda.

The habit of drinking something is the main addiction.

Nice work man! Keep at it.

I think I need to hit rock bottom with this and my pills before I make any changes
