A little OT:
"Raging Bull" is even better when you're drinking. That's saying a lot.

Hi da2ra
Yep, me too. Haven't posted in here for a while but I'm back to full-on drinking every night. I actually have a hangover today which is strange because my tolerance is so high lately that I rarely get hangovers. But yesterday I pretty much drank ALL day and all through the evening. It's just too hard to NOT drink. Pathetic!
 
After quitting tramadol I picked up drinking.
I had some experience with alcohol when I was younger and had a few bad experiences(passing out and landing on my face), from that point in time I thought Id never have any problems with this substance, because it sucked so much.

Now 2 600ml bottles of beer is a must have everyday otherwise I feel so fucking bored that I could top myself. Recently these two have gone up to 3 or 4. Today 2 beers and 5 shots of 40% brandy didnt even get me tipsy.
Is this normal? Do I have a problem?

This is the part that got me worried.
Warning bells are ringing!
Do you feel that it's a problem, i.e. does it cause any problems in your life? Do you wake up hungover every day? Does it have an effect on your job or relationships? Do you spend money on alcohol instead of essential items like food?
Just some things to think about...
 
I've come to the conclusion that I have no reason to stop drinking.




Why should I make other people happy when I'm perfectly content.

Are you perfectly content with being a second class person? never having the best clothes, the most money you could have, the best girl (or guy).


youll always be a second class lover ( lol man those nights suck when u cant get it up from drinking).

you can forget about doing anything really. always going to have the shitter place to live in, shitter car, stereo system, girlfriend/boyfriend.

to me thats the dangers of alcolholism in itself. It robs you of the life you would have had. i mean you wont be homeless like a crack head or junkie. but you will ALWAYS be a underacheiver.

but the other you, who had ambition and goals in another dimension will always be lightyears ahead of you.
 
i'm glad to say i've finally got a handle on my drinking.
alcohol really is a toxin .. and I can't say I much like any of it, save a good micro brew .. so I'm trying to stick to just a few quality cold ones on Saturday.

best o luck everyone else. seems the only way i can ever quit something is to overdo it first.
 
several people in my family are alcoholics....i often wonder if i will end up like them....i drink everyday....a bit of wine.....sometimes a few beers....

i just have to wonder if consistency or volume classify an alcoholic....

nope, never wake up hungover. Iv only once gotten the shakes from alcohol WD, and thats because it was the first week of holidays, everyday was party, party and party.

it dosnt really affect my life that much. Though Iv been using it a lil too much for my depression and boredom ever since I quit the tram.
Yeah, I know, not a very good idea, and Im sure its not gonna improve my lifestyle.
currently it helps with what I use it for, but I'm seeing my tolorance:p go up pretty fast...

My dad is a full blown alcoholic. a 500ml bottle of 56% shit everyday.
everytime I see him at home he's got a big mug of coffee or water and a small glass for the booz. On the plane to europe his hands were shaking so bad he couldnt hold a cup of water without spilling half of it.

i wud just watch out, DXM, cos in the end its probly easier to b a tramadol addict than an alcoholic, physically, speaking withdrawal-wise
just b very careful of making sure u dont get physically addicted
my dad has seizures if he doesnt drink in the mornings
i dont know about the withdrawals of tramadol - r they similar to regular opiates? if so, trust me, ud rather b a tramadol addict
better yet, addicted to neither
gd luck to evryone in this thread with how ur coping with ur alcoholism - i hope ur strategies work

It sounds like you've got it under control :)
BUT, I would be very wary of the fact that your dad's an alcoholic. Alcoholism is hereditary, it runs in my family too, which is why I'm so careful with letting my alcoholism get out of control.
Just something to be aware of I guess. :)
 
I haven't really been reading this thread

Just want to get this off my chest

I'm 18 years old and I'm a raging alcoholic... My own brother has told me this, as have all of my friends

I was hung over until 5 pm today and just told my dad I had the flu

I have nowhere to go, no way to solve this problem.... no one to talk to.. no reason to stop.... I'm scared

God help me in college

That's all
 
^why do u feel u hav no reason to stop? and cant u consider rehab or AA? - those r 2 ways to solve the problem
u dont hav to live with this u know!
 
Even after sober stretches, acknowledging i hate the toxin alcohol, needing $ for other things and being plenty high on my DOC, i still cant push liquor from my mind .. hell of a drug :\

It is indeed.
I can totally empathise with this post.
I am firming within alcohol's grasp and it is going to be tough to get out.
 
Still drinking daily... but reduced amounts. On the positive note, I rarely if ever get drunk anymore. But I still do not like being dependent on it (mentally). Basically I gotta just stop.
 
Daily drinker here, doing about 20 beers a day. Multiple rehabs and detoxes didn't get me anywhere since I wasn't serious about fixing myself. Hopefully sometime I'm going to want to quit. It's just not now.

Recently got arrested under NYS mental health laws and I'm still drunk as fuck everyday.

AA was nice, but I couldn't stop drinking so I was shunned after a few weeks. Got tired of people asking me to say I'm coming back every night. Embarassing at best. Honesty was a big part of my program and when people got sick of my drinking they decided to leave me be.

I'd love to know what it feels like to go weeks without booze and still have a nice life. Hopefully I can figure out how to live day-to-day without NEEDING booze in my body. I just don't know how to live.

-Saying a prayer for all the still sick and suffering alcoholics-
