Nah bro, I get drunk sometimes but I definitely don't need it to function. Sort your shit.

last time I quit cold turkey and I think I had a seizure
but I have no self control so detoxing correctly is rough
and I'm polish and fucking love drinking

Taper off, dude. I've been there

tapering off involves me telling myself I'm going to do it then getting drunk and saying fuck it
but I have no money for alcohol now so maybe I'll just die

>I'm polish
if you look at every country's history there is a tradition of drinking, don't blame your heritage, it's your own shitty self-control

it is joke my friend. I take responsibility for my actions, there is a clear trend of apathy and lack of self control in my life with nobody to blame but myself

For a while, i thought i was the only one. Been doing multiple week-long binges until my tolerance gets too high and i end up drinking suicidal amounts of whiskey. Im hungover tonight, work tomorrow. Will probably drink when i get off work and start the process over again for the week. Question, does anyone ever get so drunk they involuntarily start to produce a death rattle? I keep getting to a point where i start breathing heavy, almost sounds like snoring. Feels like if i dont do that then ill start to lose my breath. Usually about the same time my eyes cant stay open any longer. I have no idea what normal drinking is, never really met or talked to any real alchaholics before. Very curious what its like for you guys.

at least you recognize it, but that's only the first step (not talking about the 13 steps btw, fuck AA)

how often do you black out? to me that's the scariest part about drinking

youd be surprised lol. everyone's got a vice, some are just better at hiding it or practicing self control. I know the feeling though, the thoughts of "I'm never drinking again" and by the time you're no longer hungover youre ready to go again. as for the death rattle I have not noticed that but it's safe to assume if that did happen I may be too drunk to notice. I'm sure theres a reason that is happening though but I couldn't tell you. idk what normal drinking is either and I just keep going until i pass out if i can

oh no doubt. I'll admit to anyone I'm an alcoholic but I already know AA's preachy bullshit isn't for me

I like to listen to the scatman's story, really inspirational for anyone struggling with the drinkyoutube.com/watch?v=F9ajbpTjiv8

I dont really black out. I have large patches that i dont remember, thats about it. If it matters, a couple months ago i slipped on my own puke in the middle of the night and cant even remember how long i laid there.
Relatable. Used to smoke weed to get to sleep, moved up to doubleshots of nyquil after that didnt work anymore. Now, here i am struggling with alchahol. As stated above, a lot of it is just more of a blur rather than blackouts. You ever look at something then blink and almost hallucinate when youre hungover? I had that happen to me today when i was driving. Kinda felt similar to tracers on a hallucinogen.

>I have large patches that i dont remember
That's blacking out my dude

same and I still love weed but usually only once I'm drunk. if I'm just high I get in my head too much
same here though if I usually pass out before I black out because I have such a tolerance but often I wake up feeling ashamed at what I do remember because I say some stupid shit when I'm drunk
and yes for sure i hallucinate often while withdrawing, hearing shit, seeing shit, sleep paralysis. no fun at all

also I just drank a bunch of my step dads Jameson because I'm a piece of shit. he'll notice and not even say anything. idk if I'd rather be enabled or confronted, either way I feel like an asshole

Really? I thought blacking out was literally blacking out. Im concious of whats happening at the time but come morning time its just blank. Needless to say, thisll probably sound contradictory but i could walk from one room to another and forget i was even in there if im drinking. Its like a memory span 15 seconds before and after the current moment.

>hallucinating, hearing things, seeing things
Holy fuck, im not the only one. Especially if i stop or if im hungover. I hear voices almost clear as day but cant make out a single word. It doesnt bother me all that much, it just ever so slightly unsettles me. Bit of a shut-in so i dont know if that effects anything.

oh yeah dude hallucinations of any sort are a huge symptom of withdrawal. the sleep paralysis fucks with me the most, it's full on visual auditory and physical hallucinations with a typically horrifying theme
I spend a lot of time alone too and I get freaked the fuck out. that's a big reason I keep drinking, I can't sleep otherwise and always hear and see shit

I live under bridges and drink constantly. The only time i stop drinking is when i dont have booze and im on my way inside the store to buy some.

Jameson like 25 bucks a liter dude no biggie just take out the trash and do the fucking dishes

oh I know. more just the principle of it. I wouldn't drink anything expensive or rare. but you right I can at least not be a burden to make up for it lol

God, do i hear that. Checked.
I both understand and dont understand why they criminalize opiates but not booze. Honest to god, they feel the exact. Theres always that sweet warm blanket feeling right after the first five or so swigs. Its like a physical coaxing to drink more. The worst part of the manipulation on your brain is when it starts tasting so smooth. Soon enough, you start just drinking it straight from the neck. When i was sixteen, if you put an open bottle of jack under my nose id probably come close to puking. Now i cant get enough of it, it tastes like honey, ill swear by it. Its so sweet. I have no idea when it started to taste good but its quite the effective lure. Its amazing how easy it is to substitute effort towards a social life with booze. It embodies such a nice friend in itself. Im garbling too long.

oh for sure, if it wasn't alcohol it'd probably be opiates for me. they just provide a general feeling of "good" before you overdo it. and apparently some people legitimately have a different function of the part of the brain that allows normal people to stop at a point. lol yep nobody likes their first drinks but once your body starts associating the pleasure with the taste its game over
on point about the social life though, I hang out with maybe 5 friends total and usually just 2 of them a couple times a week
alcohol does provide a friend in a way but i also get very social when I'm drunk which is nice as I'm usually very withdrawn and fine being alone

..don't you just love how cute Westerners sound when they talk about drinking.
On Glorious Balkans everybody drinks homemade brews at around 40-50% and the small one you order in a restaurant for lunch is a measly 50ml. (big is a 100ml).

literally every man over 35 that has the right to pretends to called one makes his own Rakia (brandy) and homemade wine once or twice a year.

of course you guys with your holiday garden squares just next to the railway zone on the outskirts of town woudn't be allowed to make alcohol in your 10x10m garden. ... neither will you have the time with 40+ h work week

Alcoholism gave me scurvy, to the point that my skin was breaking out in blisters and my legs and hips hurt so bad that I could barely walk. I drank a few gallons of grape and apple juice, and now it's fucking party time. Red blisters are gone, leg and arm pain gone, desire to party: 100% here.

while everyone on the Balkans owns his own land, his own heritage village house from the grandparents, his own apartment for which he doesn't have to pay rent, his own guns if he wishes so...
you Westerners are overworked , overstressed and sleep deprived, your freedom limited to going to a disco on a Friday night and getting wasted on 1 or 2 drinks and hallucinating for days afterwards

...or working for a month for around a net pay cash of some 2500 Euro which you then spend 1500 Euro on rent and 500 on your car using the rest to go on to expensive vacations in lands where the locals consider you a walking piggy bank.
On the Balkans you are paid half that in Euro but you have almost no other expenses.You are free to drive where ever you want and it'll cost you only what the gas is worth. With the rest of the money you can buy land , build a house , own 3 dogs, go paragliding or spend on bitches

On the Balkans even the Orthodox priest drinks more than you sissies
