I been drunk since sunday.. I fucking hate this shit don't even like being drunk just can't stop drinking. I never felt like i was putting poison into myself for fun until i turned into a drunk and this is coming from a guy that smoked hella crack and shot coke and heroin like water... but this drinking shit is so stupid 
^^ I hear ya man.
You have to try though. Can you do something to distract yourself from drinking?? You have to be careful though, you'll need to taper down if you've been drinking that much. But it can be done.
Can you talk to someone about this?? A friend or family member? Even your doctor?

Makaveli69,n3ophy7e has cover it well already, but when one is on a big binge sometimes medical supervision is required to come off alcohol safely. Often binges require some planning to stop and one isn't in a good mental place to do it by themselves. Please let your friend help a little more and if she wants to call in some other people to help with this swallow your pride and let her. There are times it is important to be in control, this actually a time that it is very sensible to let others call the shots for a few days.

My drinking is getting completely out of control. I blacked out 3 times already since Saturday night. I drink from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep. The longest I have gone without a drink was a 2 week period in the last 2+ years. Every single other day I have drank.
Because of this I went from 160lbs to 195lbs.
It is affecting my job performance and worrying everyone who cares about me.
it is 9:22am where I am located. I am already drinking my 3rd drink before work.
I do this so I don't shake.
it kinda slipped up on me. I didn't see it coming. Time to cut back.
Just wanted to vent.

^ By your description it sounds very posible that you will need medical supervision to quit safely. It would be dangerous for you to just stop. I think it would be good for you to become aware of what detox facilities are available in your area. If you ever are forced into sudden alcohol cessation you will likely be dealing with a true medical emergency.

Chaos- I agree with Enki......it would be good for you to familiarize yourself with the medical facilities in your area that can help you get clean.......if that is what you want....
it does sound like you need it though. They can give you medication to prevent seziures and shakes.....They will monitor you.....
My husband was the same way- and he combined alcohol with benzos-
We wanted him in a detox center but he weaned himself off- which is dangerous but he takes the medication they would be giving in the detox center.......
this was at the end of january- he drank a little bit one day in the beginning of February and hasn't had a drink since.
If you want to do it- you can.
Good Luck!

I'm experiencing what I consider to be alcohol withdrawal for the second time in my life, and this is definitely the worst. It started because I won a 40oz. of Rum at a friend's wedding fundraiser last weekend. Losing my job a couple weeks back has not helped either and lately my sleeping schedule is a mess.
Now I flirt the fine line between social and problem drinker to begin with. Typically, I drink about 3x a week, but it's not unusual for me to slip in a 4th.
Well, this time I went and drank 5 nights in a row approx. 10oz of 40% liquor each night. Wednesday I realize that the weekend is fast approaching and I need to slow down. Last night wasn't bad, but tonight is brutal. I'm experiencing aches & pains, physical malaise, and butterflies. I also can't sleep.
I have about 5 shots of rum left from the bottle, but I refuse to give in. I'll simply have to wait until tomorrow night. Gotta have some discipline. I definitely won't let this happen again.

Oh, I am well aware. I was a drug counselor for 3 years. Benzos and alcohol are the only two detoxes that can actually kill a person. I don't have the level of physical addiction that would actually kill me, so I plan on just weening down over the next week or two. I already started yesterday and plan on continuing that today.
I will certainly be safe. This aint my first rodeo. I was a heroin addict for 7 years prior to becoming a drug counselor. I just didn't expect I would get hooked on the booze. but I was wrong. stupid addictive personality.
When i quit drinking after years of alcoholism i had to use meds to get off the stuff because the withdrawals where horrible. I tried to go cold turkey alot of times and i always failed because the physical withdrawals and not to mention psychological where a horror show.
I had mild DT's (if there is such a thing) and i got delerious for awile. When i went to a doctor and got diazepam to help with the withdrawals and make sure i didnt have a seizure i managed to stay off for almost 5 years except for maybe getting drunk 2 or 3 times. So i would definetely recomend to see a doctor if you are to the point where you are having physical withdfrawals. It's a good idea anyway since alcohol really messes up your body and depletes you of certain B vitamines. So a checkup is a good idea.
This past week i had started drinking again and i drank quite abit but now im going to try my damn hardest to stay off because the stuff makes me a wreck and i hate being a drunk. I got my morphine script again finally so im not even getting cravings now. It may seem like im replacing one addiction for a worse one to some people but i actually need the morphine for chronic pain and i think being a alcoholic is much more damaging then opiate addiction.
But that is just my opinion and nothing more. Also i wouldnt recomend taking opiates to get off alcohol to anyone.

posa - I'm glad to hear you're doing so well. to everyone here. I hope everyone who hopes to detox soon goes through with it and does so safely.
I've done pretty damned well this last week, I think. I didn't drink until Thursday where there was a big law school democrats party. I didn't drink Friday. Today I drank 3 glasses of wine and a beer at a wedding that lasted all afternoon. I haven't drank since then. Going to bed sober on a Saturday is very good for me.
I'm feeling well.

I had a few drinks each night this weekend, out partying with friends .. Couldn't miss the occasions but the liquor did nothing good for me. What little I drank made me feel worse.
I always feel like I've learned my lesson .. Until the next mistake. I know I'll be drinking next weekend.
