Giving up Drinking.

The only time i enjoy being around pissed people is when im on it myself

Had a few problems with booze in the past, used to drink myself into some horrendously fucked states through my teens and early 20s, falling off bar stools, passing out on pavements, hedges, falling down stairs, waking up still drunk with massive memory blackouts and feelings of guilt and regret. weekly occurance. some rebound at the age of 19, discovered stims at the age of 21 so hammering booze with stims and staying relatively sharp and functional whilst out. much better. carried on for years

I gave up drinking alcohol almost 4 years ago and while the first few months were a bit difficult, it was well worth the effort. It's about making a choice for yourself and having respect for your own health and choosing not to drink is a very empowering thing. These days I drink a lot of black tea. It is a bit of a social problem because so much socialising in the uk revolves around drinking, but really I don't enjoy being around pissed people anyway.

when I drink on stims I drink twice as much as I usually would and it gets to the point where the alcohol and speed feel like there fighting each other and I always end up doing something really stupid.
 
The kinda time I first started drinking heavily (beginning of uni) was a couple of months before I started getting into stims. Think it's probably because of that that I've never gotten into a stupid state or done anything ridiculous on booze. Since trying stims I've always prefered to stay sharp rather than getting into a mess and acting like a moron. Not that people on meph don't look like morons when they're talking shit to people not on meph but eh, better than having memory blanks and puking on your shoes/mates ;)

I drink a lot, to the extent that I barely get pissed off a bottle of wine anymore unless I neck it. Have cut down a lot recently (since being skint haha) and can go days without drinking without thinking too much of it but def still drink too much generally.

Don't think I'll ever stop completely as I mainly drink for the taste rather than the feeling of being pissed (which I'm not keen on without stims as I said) and am not hugely bothered about living till I'm old and hopeless so as long as I'm not feeling shit off it health wise for now I'm not madly concerned. As it is I never even get slight hangovers cos I know my limits so tis all gooood.

After spending most of last year and the first half of this year without drinking, I've come to terms with the fact that complete abstinence is never going to work for me. Alcohol is something that's ingrained not only in my culture but to an extent in my personality. I can be so inhibited sometimes that I don't feel like myself, which I expect quite a few people will understand.

I do, however, need to stop drinking alone quite as often. There's just something really comforting about having a bottle to hold, and feeling the warmth spread through your stomach. Dunno if I'll ever get over that.

Can relate to all of that too.

Also, nowt wrong with drinking alone (to some extent). I'm far more interesting than anyone else so I'm definitely my ideal drinking partner ;)
 
I do sometimes wonder what it'd be like to have an exact replica of myself with whom to drink.

We'd probably spend the whole time trying to outdo each other in terms of strutting raffishness, wit, charm and obnoxiousness though, and inevitably end up killing one another.

That will eventually get to your heart. You realize that, right?

Yeah, I do. I've seen what the long-term effects of heavy drinking can look like, and it's horrible.

I was going to make some 'witty' comment about it being my poor auld broken heart that makes me drink in the first place, but I restrained myself.

EDIT: And then restrained myself from making any innuendo about restraining myself.

IF you quit smoking, you can quit anything.

Certainly. I see my self very far away from achieve it though. Same for alcohol. Being legal makes it the most difficult thing to quit. It is just everywhere. Actually, I've been now two months without drinking and I think that has been the most. Thing is, every time I drink at the end I always want to get some other hardcore stuff, and end up spending all my money. So yeah, having no money may be the easiest way to stay sober.

How to manage it? The only thing that has worked for me is to be very very passionate about something that demands your full consciousness, like an art project or something like that. In my experience, even with a busy routine, being at the office was only dead time waiting to go for a drink at six p.m….
 
My best mate is down atm, i witnessed him drink an inhuman amount of gin at a mates flat and take 5 mg of etiz yet you wouldn't expect him to black out, and yeh i let him walk home a mile on is own cos he has the tolerance of a rhino. But its cringe to watch
