How bad is your drinking, Anon Babble?

Let's talk about it.

im sober

It's bad, but sobriety's worse.

I drink a 40 or 6 pack a day
I used to drink a lot more hard liquor 12 years ago but I've been drinking less and less

I started drinking Sunday afternoon and that lasted until Monday evening, so when I woke up Tuesday morning what did I do? I went and bought more booze, Naturally.
Wednesday morning and lay in bed rn, just woke up and I know I need to quit the drink but wait until I've had my coffee and see what happens...

Good for you, bro. Working on it myself.

I don't think sobriety is worse. To each their own I guess. The only way I could see sobriety being "worse" is if you personally are just boring as fuck.

I'm currently on probation for my second DUI and live in a three-strike state, so one more and it's a felony regardless. My drinking was getting pretty bad leading up to the beginning of this year. It became my main hobby. It didn't help that I had been waiting tables and bartending the past few years, getting fucked up after every shift to cure my anxiety. I'm honestly considering permanent sobriety once I'm done with probation. Getting shitfaced became boring and having just a few drinks is pointless.

Had to stop drinking because I got so drunk I got on a motorcycle without a helmet, crashed and gave myself a head concussion.
Have no medical insurance.
Cost me $5,600 to visit the ER.
Even after all that I still had a couple drinks the day after concussion.

I have quit drinking since then. I understand the value of life now and how precious it is.

I wish I could have only a few, but even if I grab a couple of tallboys or sixer, I would always rush right back the gas station to get more. It got to the point where I always had to make sure I had enough beer in the fridge to either pass out or not get nervous. I would go to a different gas station each trip so people wouldn't think I had a problem, even though the employees likely knew.

Don't let the bender go on this long. Sounds like a budding dependency.

I mostly just don't have the money
I don't need that much though a 40 is good enough for me

My first DUI was blackout rollover wreck into a ditch between a highway and frontage road. I got super lucky: no broken bones, no property damage, nobody injured. My car was totaled and the seatbelt saved my life.

Yesterday while drinking I was hallucinating a bit. That was weird. Drinking right now.

Probably a 3/10 with 10 being the worst. I drink wine with dinner sometimes. I enjoy scotch a few times month, a 750ml bottle of scotch will last more than 1 month easily for most months. My problem is when I drink wine I will sometimes just finish the whole bottle and then pour up some scotch/bourbon after. I don't drink daily. For instance this afternoon I had a beer, and then for dinner I had a glass of wine. I'm also 6'5 so I can pack away alcohol pretty well without losing my shit. Sometimes I'll go a week or so without drinking.

6 of 9.5% almost every day for months now. I feel something in my lower right ribcage. Inflammation or something more sinister. Time to stop was a while ago, but I'll try to stop today.

all that to say i dont drink

about 12 beers a night

it's quite good. actually really good. only one thing I can say about it: don't abuse it and you will have a long time of fun with it. cheers!

How were you hallucinating?

Thats not bad at all I'd say. Being of larger stature probably helps and not having the itch to get super drunk in the first place. Casual drinking if anything. I never really practiced moderation.

Depending on the type of beer, that could catch up with you after some years.

That pain is in your liver, which is not good. Most people who develop cirrhosis die an excruciating death.

True, but I feel like I've had bad alcoholic influenced since I was a kid and needed to get sober. I never could have just a few, I just kept wanting more.

Damn, imagine the plapp of those cheeks

coors lite or rainier typically

Gives me double vision sometimes, but my brain is fried from a lot of other things as well.

My eyes have been slowly yellowing ever since i tried kava 4 months ago and i still can't stop because im broke and still living with my alcoholic father.

Fuck off with your gross fatties you actual fucking nigger.

have you guys seen scared sober with dirk? i recommend listening to this video and day 1-5 as he describes his delirium tremens. i experienced maybe 15% of what he did, just some sweating and really vivid nightmares but it was enough to make me quit. if i want alcohol now i just imagine the hangover and its just not worth it. at least not the way i used to drink

Might not be the liver, could be inflammation in the gall bladder.

I don't drink, but I'd like to know about how you started, and the process in working your way through a 6 or 12 pack.
And also, from a 6-pack, how did you decide to just transition to a 12-pack a night?

I quit drinking for 18 months, no drinking, smoking drugs, nothing. Then I went on vacation for 2 months in January and I drank again. I ended up drinking pretty heavily while on vacation, 4-6 drinks pretty much every day and often a lot more. Now I've been back for about 2 and a half weeks and I haven't drank since returning. I actually feel pretty great now, better mentally and physically, so I have little desire to start drinking again.

My dad died from liver cirrhosis at 51 years old, so I feel like I should really try to drink as little as possible. I had planned to drink on vacation, a big part of the reason I went on vacation was to give myself a temporary break from sobriety, but I don't know, I feel like it might have been a mistake.

How do you stop? I can't stop. I reach for the drink automatically at the end of the day.

I was never addicted to drugs, always did them for fun and to socialize and stopped when I found friends who didn't require that.
Porn on the other hand...

Personally I drink a lot of coffee and caffeinated drinks instead, I really feel like caffeine gives you the confidence of alcohol without the grogginess and shitty feeling. You have to appreciate the mental clarity of not drinking. When I look back to past drinking I really just realize that drinking basically makes you dumb, annoying, makes you feel like shit. There's no reason to drink, just makes you tired. Also find something to immerse yourself in, get really into movies or TV or video games or better yet actual hobbies or something, people drink because they're bored, people who can genuinely entertain themselves live better lives.

I drink a lot of coffee and caffeinated drinks instead

How do you fall asleep at night then?

porn and booze ahh

Only drink them in the morning usually, I crash out and get pretty tired at night

How were you hallucinating?

I felt likeI was dreaming while being awake. Similar thing happens when I drink for days/weeks and then stop,(delirium) but not while drinking.

I am an addict, and I’ve been through it all — alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, cocaine, crack, PCP, ketamine, psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, hydrocodone, oxycodone, alprazolam, clonazapam

I’m currently “sober” — just nicotine (vapes, bad, but not as bad as combustion) and alcohol (my tolerance is staggering, so I abstain for 72 hours, drink a month’s worth, and repeat the cycle)

I’m married with a child, a boy that carries the name of the father of my father. I support my family, avoid slop and screens and niggerdom and clownworld horseshit. OMAD, clean diet. Same for my boy

It’s all fucked

Asses are for niggers

The white man prefers a pretty face

IMG_9684.jpg - 750x1024, 58.67K

That’s your liver brother

IMG_9805.jpg - 761x1024, 128.81K

Agreed

IMG_9394.jpg - 1120x1480, 478.47K

Y not just stick 2 weed??

avoid slop and screens and niggerdom and clownworld horseshit

And yet here you are on Anon Babble, otherwise known as the internet's shithole. Nice larp retard.

shut the fuck up you double nigger candy ass nigga

don't drink anymore. but now i do stimulants and psychs not sure if im coming out on top here

DOOD WEED LMAO

I drink, I Heil Hitler. No problem.

Drinking and doing amphetamine/ritalin is the best :)

u heil trump bro?

I don't drink because I have a problem, I drink because the world is a problem. A problem caused by jews.

Don't be a fucking retard.

yeah so ive heard. but i literally cannot stomach alcohol anymore so im out

So erase yourself from the problem?

Can you teach me how?

No.

get super hungover too many times and develop a deeply rooted distaste for all alcohol in the general

Once it became legalized and big business, the 25%+ THC shit warped my brain after a few months. Affected me like real drugs. It’s not what it was like when I was a teen (I’m 38)

I always told everyone that pot is “healthier” than booze. and it is, but it’s different now

I’m able to maintain true sobriety (not even caffeine) for weeks, but there’s always something that triggers the dominoes

At this point in my life it’s about mitigation. I find OMAD, monthly 48 hour fasts, and a daily clean diet really offsets anything negative

IMG_9809.jpg - 764x1024, 109.91K

Been here since I was a child. No LARP

You’re here forever

IMG_9383.jpg - 385x485, 40.12K

Just smoke less or try some cbd when u smoke.

Drink some spring water mixed with amino acids and creatine early each morning, after washing down a multivitamin, krill oil, panax ginseng, and several other vitamin and mineral containing formulations

Conquer each day chewing nicotine lozenges, sipping spring and utilising the nutrients for improvement only

Will mix up a mug of magnesium glycinate with some more (spring) water at night to get ready for bed.

My drinking is completely out of control
I don’t need help - I really don’t

IMG_2880.jpg - 960x768, 105.23K

I would be an alcoholic but my irritable bowel prevents this from happening.

If you drink a lot you don't really get handovers anymore.

i never drank like that. i was more of a weekend warrior. so when i DID drink i would just go all in and drink all day until i literally could not drink anymore.

never was a "daily drinker" just went hard on occasion/on saturdays and had some gnarly hangovers and just called it quits fuck it

My tolerance builds for with the bud and I find myself in the same hole. Booze, while physiologically worse, is more manageable

Like I said, it’s a matter of mitigation at this point in my life. I work, maintain my hygiene, clean the house, pay the bills, make my wife cum, raise my child and teach him my values and squeeze my kicks in when I can

It’s all too much, really, but not *really*

IMG_9815.jpg - 1024x856, 104.55K

Saar please, I am from Mumbai. Where do I get fart free water? Please Saar.

Bruh u gotta stop smoking those mids. I don't care if it's too much, it's gotta be top shelf only.

Could be molybdenum (impaired sulphite metabolism) or some other deficiency issue

Intentional alcohol intake turns you feminine (emotional) but don’t accept you can’t metabolise/tolerate it

Irritable bowel is ultimately slang used for “dont know how to fix”

I've never been drunk in my life. And I don't have any interest in what alcohol can offer, honestly.
I feel like losing control of your own actions is crazy risky, and would never do anything that can cause that. And I have a very bad opinion on anyone driving after drinking: innocent people die because of them, and I can't feel sympathy for someone who doesn't care and can't pick an Uber or not drink if using the car.

I do understand that some people like the "inhibition" and whatever, and I don't mind people drinking, as long as they can control themselves and don't drive or put anyone at risk. It's just not for me.

Ask your local quick food for a glass - wear your best clothes

I've never been diagnosed with anything. It's just that caffeine and alcohol make me shit, quite a lot. Like if I drink a lot, I will have to shit like ten times the day after.

You need to drink the good booze. The cheap shit like bottom shelf vodka or boxed wine will give you shits and heartburn like nothing. If you drink good booze(barrel aged) you won't get stomache issu(or at least considerably less)

I need a drink aaaaah

feel like losing control of your own actions is crazy risky, and would never do anything that can cause that

People only lose control because they can't handle their drink. I've never done anything stupid because I've had a drink. Well as an adult anyway.

After 15 years of smoking it all I learned what’s what — it’s isn’t about the purity or potency, but rather the effect it has on me

It’s all bullshit and it’s bad for you

IMG_9810.jpg - 1024x898, 133.11K

You are a subhuman simply for validating and admiring other subhumans. Worshipping them, even. Do humanity a favor and die, nigger.

Can relate
Im essentially the same now
Spent 3 years on “meds” that erased my rigidity - became addicted to drugs, never used intravenously luckily - but constant jacking off, drinking all day, going back on promises and goals - was a mess

Barely even jack it now, let along use anything other than clean nicotine recreationally - corrupts my moral compass, all other avenues of life deteriorate.

Nah bruh. Weed is good 4 you. The government lied 2 you.

Ever consider the act of drinking is stupid? Depleting your body of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals? Or built up too much tolerance to notice it?

Had my first beer in a good while. I stopped drinking beer because it counteracts my daily monster

You're currently raising a future alcoholic wreck like yourself and you disgust me.

" How bad is your drinking, Anon Babble? "

It is mostly satisfactory
I am currently drinking some Arran scotch single malt whisky at about 10:40am here in the UK.
I have five different bottles of scotch single malt whisky at the moment, all opened, but all nearly (70cl) full :

᲼•᲼Arran (Isle of Arran) 43% ABV ;
᲼•᲼Laphroaig 10 (Islay) 40% ABV ;
᲼•᲼Lagavulin 16 (Islay) 43% ABV ;
᲼•᲼Ledaig 10 (Isle of Mull / Hebredian) 46.3% ABV ;
᲼•᲼Talisker 10 (Isle of Skye) 45.8% ABV ;

I usually have a lot of bottled strong real ale in my Private Bar chiller, but right now I have totally run of the ale and thus deciding whether to restock urgently, or "dry-out" for a few days.

Reverse psychology my dude

Scientists are liars bro. You took the vaccine didn't ya??

Not as bad as most drugs. But different

This entire thread is about dopamine deficiency, and how to regulate the deficiency

IMG_9651.jpg - 463x336, 34.22K

Everything in moderation you silly, silly man.

dopamine deficiency

No such thing.

I’m not a wreck whatsoever. I don’t know why I’m taking this bait but I guess seeing old Anon Babble today made me contemplative

I don’t drink in front of him

I pray to God whoever you hood dearest dies slowly of cancer in front of your eyes

You’re a stupid nigger and I hope your loved ones starve before they die

IMG_8580.jpg - 1100x526, 423.83K

used to be an issue, 7-8 20oz beers after work more or less daily, the same or more on weekends
constant heartburn, zero cardio, digestive issues etc, and it was costing a whole fuckin pile of money
took some steps regarding my mental health, started actually treating my ADHD, got on welbutrin which essentially forced me to stop drinking, been off the sauce for about 6 months and it's greatly improved a lot of aspects of my life
the downside is my entire social life was centered around boozing and I haven't really rebuilt any of that

I hope your loved ones starve before they die

Well that's not very nice. SSRIs do cause aggression though, so that's to be expected from a medicated zogbot.

Wellbutrin does nothing for me besides making me feel like I drank some coffee.
Getting actual ADD diagnosis here as an adult is very hard(and the process is not ADD-friendly at all).
Actual Ritalin or Amphetamine helps to calm me down but getting it is too complicated

Actual Ritalin or Amphetamine helps to calm me down

Those jew pills are poison.

ritalin

you want focalin aka dexmethylphenidate. much stronger and cleaner version of ritalin. also, you want a script for 40mg ER. you can crush up the beads and get extremely high off of them its similar to cocaine.

Dis nigger knows wassup. It's basically legal meth.

not quite. focalin is closer to cocaine whereas adderall (amphetamine) is closer to methamphetamine. they are both much safer than their """street""" alternatives

Idk man I think actual meth is where it's at but pills are good if you wanna be low-key like that.

Actually really wanna do some meth rn.

meth is the grand daddy mother fucker of stimulants but it's unfortunately harsh on your heart and brain you have to be really careful with it
it's great but incredibly addictive. don't be a dumbass and stay hydrated, eat, and SLEEP. if you are chain smoking/injecting it and staying up for days on end you are fucking up hard. you can use it *relatively* safely but using for multiple days on end is such a stupid fucking move. i get super high in the morning, maybe redose in the early afternoon, then smoke shit tons of weed in the evening and eat eat eat and sleep. that's the best way to do it ime

Take a dose of calcium youre not used to - could get a surprise from a small amount. Also phenylalanine.

Otherwise saffron feels pretty good, dont fall for the “drugs are superior”, long term the dependence on effects (fatigue), the effects (low appetite, overconfidence) and repercussions of reinforcing reward-seeking (deviation) catch up

First: Addiction is, by definition, a loss of control over your own behavior. You want to get that control back. Willpower is the obvious approach, but willpower alone is often not enough.

The automatism you describe can be disrupted. Best by having no drink to reach for nearby. That forces you to get active, to go to the bar or the grocery store. It gives you time to reflect what you're doing and to interfere with it. So, the iron rule should be to have no alcohol in the house. No exceptions.

The part of the brain that controls the cravings and drives you to consume can repeatedly override the prefrontal cortex. This means there is not much room for being smart with your alcohol consumption while you're craving alcohol. You have to be prepared, so that when the craving hits you can operate yourself with simple commands. "Not today" is a good one. Or simply "No". You're going to lie to yourself, you're going to make a lot of noise in your head justifying why you need the alcohol and you need it now and why you can start stopping tomorrow. It's all bullshit, but as I said, you're not smart in that moment. Don't negotiate with yourself in that condition. You lose that negotiation. Always. Just "No". Without compromise.

The worst part of the withdrawal is over after two weeks, it only gets easier from then. After four weeks, you will already have entire days without thinking of alcohol. After half a year, you barely care anymore. A craving once every two or three weeks, a lazy "no, bad idea" rejects it with ease.

Never make the mistake to think your immune now, you can drink in a controlled way now. It doesn't work like that. The brain remembers for the rest of your life, if you consume it will reactivate all your old addict behavior routines in a matter of hours. The only winning move is to not consume. At all. Which is rather easy once you've beaten the acute addiction and the cravings have become rare and weak.

Disagree. - meds aren’t the solution, nutrients are.

Interesting how this works
They impair the frontal cortex
SSRIs and neuroleptics (“antipsychotics”) are much the same

Widespread dopamine suppression occurs throughout brain with use of neuroleptics and SSRIs suppress it indirectly via serotonin signalling hence the common prolactin elevation -
impairing both limbic/reward and frontocortical systems, hypothesise with time the degeneration of these areas combined with adjustment to the well-known immediate androgen-suppressing properties of these drugs - creates short-fused, erratic, ill-informed, short-sighted, passive aggressive “man” babies like seen here Projecting their frustration of acquired, uncontrolled, sexual perversion on the productive population

Yeah, I've heard/it seems like welbutrin is very hit or miss
works quite well for me, on 300mg welbutrin and 20mg Vyvanse, quite a large difference in my ability to function like an actual human being
I think if things continue on the good trajectory, in 3 months or so i'm gonna try getting off the welbutrin and see if I can maintain things without it or not

You just need to stop jacking and take more nutrients (amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids) what you feel on that liver-toxic drug and amphetamine is a glimpse of what it could be like all the time.

W FART

And stopping jacking becomes easier as you provide more fuel (nutrients) for habituation of more purposeful activities - exercise becomes fun, reasoning and self-regulation strengthens

Intelligence and willpower aren’t fixed, they’re mediated by neurotransmitters, and nutrition is the most sustainable route to alter them, its fundamental.

IMG_2359.jpg - 1307x1870, 1008.5K

Yeah you can just tell when someone is on SSRIs. They have this weird type of aggression that just isn't normal. They lash out while painting themselves as the victim when in realty they are the aggressor.

emotional. - similar to alcohol’s effects and both SSRIs and alcohol produce cognitive flexibility, reducing rigidity
I noticed coming off them had to recreate my morality, thought holding grudges was good

Ended up basing everything around productivity, my behaviours recieve greater praise with the more foresight i have (PFC) - though ironically, i dont value other peoples opinions as much anymore.

Funny how that works, stuffs a total road to disaster

How to increase dopamine?

I like masturbating so much I masturbate like +10 times a day.

Phenylalanine would be a starter
It metabs to phenylethylamine (amphetamine is methyl-phenethylamine), and also metabolises to tyrosine which brain uses to make the dopamine moderated by phen.

The list of essentials goes deep, molybdenum is a common low one - used for enzymes that neutralise toxins. Copper, zinc. Selenium etc.. id suggest using grok (X chatbot) to create yourself a stack providing adequate of all essentials (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids) tailored to what’s available in your area.

A single molecule or element is never a sustainable/good solution.

Calcium gets me going - faster limb responsiveness, wakefulness, its like meth now.

Meth is for wank, and i dont want to wank anymore

You’re diluting your value

There were weeks in December where I easily passed the 14 standard drink guideline. Mostly concentrated on Friday and Saturday.

Its the opposite for me I can masturbate like 20 times a day(especially when I've been drinking the day before) but when I take amphetamine or Ritalin I don't get the compulsory urge to masturbate.

How bad is your drinking

Smirnoff?

Can someone tell me what I'm missing out on? I'm 38 yrs old and NEVR had a beer, not even ONE sip...
im socially retarded (and still a virgin) so ive never gone to parties and got drunk , hence i cant lose it...
oh and ive never once had a drink of tea or coffee. weird aye?

I only drink in about four days a month,tops. My Cannabis consumption on the other hand.....

What dose do you take?
Likely not enough stim-induced limbic stimulation to override the PFC which that + direct impairment is probably how the alcohol causes it for you

Dose-dependent. Curiosity- can you still eat? Do you take everyday?

No I just sometimes take ADD medication from people I know. I'd get a prescrption myself but getting adult ADD diagnosis is very hard here

Self-pity to where you jump at whatever opportunity - eat out a whore, talk over a bag of drugs and call it “bonding”, light a cigarette off the ground, buy some more alcohol, sleep on the ground next to dogshit because being awake is uncomfortable.

Why can you not just drink and not drive? I've never drank and drove. Worse case Ontario I just call an uber. But even before that, I just make sure that when I'm going to drink that I won't need to drive. Like I'm not gonna be a dumbass and drive to a bar to drink. No I'll take a bus there, and maybe have my wife pick me up after, or something else. Never drive drunk. Honestly it should be two strikes you're out. You got warned the first time, that should be kenough.

buy off zogbots

I’d keep it that way, ADHD diagnosis can turn into a questioning of decision-making capacity. Almost impossible to escape once they’ve poisoned you

Its different getting from other people to having a while box/container to yourself

And as i recall - i did have to escalate doses to associate lower doses with sexual gratification - making high doses unnegotiable

i stopped drinking, it's pretty degenerate tbh.

anyway watch this video, it might help you stop, too
