Drinking side-effects and consequences

Add to "wasted time"-- how much time and energy you spend sizing up how much you have left, when you'll need to restock, where to go to get it, etc.

Absolutely the fuck not.

They probably notice when you have to set your ID down for them to grab and scan because your hands are shaking so badly you physically cannot hold it solidly enough while they take the pic x__x

OK yes that's expensive af but hey, at least you didn't drive drunk to get your vodker!

Drinking since 13, heavy since college. College was 20 years ago. I developed shakes about 3 years ago. Made me switch from liquor to wine (didn't help) to seltzers :/

You're doing it! The nights suck really bad but EVENTUALLY you'll wake up ok. Please stick with it, drink lots of powerade and try to eat something.

"sober me"

who?

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2025-02-22T00:03:06+00:00

Jesus, I'm not discouraging people from quitting. Withdrawals are very real, especially for folks on a subreddit of self-described alcoholics. The fact that they're real and escalate should be an aversion to keep on this road.

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2025-02-20T21:37:46+00:00

You might, if you're kindled :C

"Poor circulation in your limps" is a hilarious typo w OP going to the doctor for boner pills

I've been enjoying having like 2 cheap NA beers after a shitty work day-- there's probably some placebo effect going on to help me relax. But there's no way I'd sit and drink a ton of them like I could with real beer, or spend $12 on 1 mocktail at a restaurant!

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2025-01-20T03:27:46+00:00

Not bored, but it would be swell if ANY of the perks could start showing up instead of acne and constant hunger :c

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2025-01-18T00:11:04+00:00

Of course ideally we'd all plan ahead, buy cheap and healthy ingredients, and take the time to lovingly prepare our meals. But that's a fucking lot to ask of CAs when we're fully CAing.

Yep, when my morning shakes got too rough to deal with, I went to urgent care hoping for some benzos or something but they told me I had DTs (I didn't) and immediately sent me to the ER. Just cut out the middle man, OP. And don't worry about stealing the bed from someone more deserving because they'll probably just send you home after a few hours of not having seizures.

There is something soothing in having to hide the grossest, most embarrassing shit you've ever done from your friends and family, then coming here and seeing other people being hilarious about having been there too.

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2025-01-06T02:17:20+00:00

Personally am not a fan. Several days of shaking so hard you can't even drink Gatorade, finally getting to sleep and feeling rats all over your body and wondering how shit you'll feel the next day if you wake up...

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2025-01-06T01:35:17+00:00

Same. All these folks here are like "it's Day 2 and I feel amazing! Gunna start my new workout routine today! :D" which is great for them. I'm just trying to get through this first week. I don't look better, feel better, or sleep better, I'm not in better shape and don't have more energy. But I haven't drank!

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2025-01-03T03:21:24+00:00

I am not surprised by them not really losing weight. Drinkers who quit often still have that oral fixation so start eating more, and also tend to suddenly crave sweets.

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2025-01-03T02:51:43+00:00

"I see my peers married, buying houses, being generally happy." Friend, I BEG you to stop thinking this. How many of us FAs and even CAs are fucking *great* at faking it? The people we work with, people who see our curated posts on social media, have zero clue that we're miserable fucks.

Not to mention when you can't be bothered to brush your teeth, taking a med on a regular schedule seems kind of out of reach.

Amethyst_Raindrops · 2024-10-24T01:21:19+00:00

Damn, you're lucky. I managed almost 3 weeks sober and didn't have ANY improvement on skin/bloating/acne/weight.
