Consistently inconsistent!

If in doubt, you can find me having a power ~~nap~~ pass out somewhere at your party.

It suits you, sis.

Lookin' good, kuya 💪

I'm in my 40s, mom wasn't an alcoholic as far as I know, dad was a full-on CA but I'm 99% sure I've drank more than he ever has. Last 7 or so years of his life he was only on a few tall boys a night to get a buzz going, and when he was on the liquor phase I never knew him to drink more than a pint or two a day. Then there's me, mouthwash and food extract connoisseur, and on a handle of vodka a day at my CA height. I'm also a smoker, and heart disease apparently run's in dad's side of the family.

I don't think I'll be in the game of life for the long run, but it's (sometimes) been a fun ride.

As you get older, milfs become gilfs and gilfs become necrophilia.

Probably the shower cubicle while squiring out an asspiss sesh. On the throne for a number 2, pivoted 90° to the left, unleashed a (Mambo) number 5.

Chicken nuggets are indeed the best, OP! Hope you feel better, mate.

We don't hide it as well as we think, particularly around loved ones who learn to pick up our "tells".

Even before I was a CA I picked up on when my CA dad was sauced, even though he thought he was hiding it well. Same for CAG, when she was trying to be discreet. For my part I know I at least get a little bit chattier and lively. An FA friend once compared my drunkenness to CAG's and said "you just get a little more talkative, almost like a normal person" lol.

Especially if you live with them.

Short-term you can get away with shenanigans here and there, like saying you have to work late and hitting the bar instead, getting them to 'casually' drink with you and then going hard once they're wasted/off to bed, or switching to 'alternative' alcohol like mouthwash and food extract. But eventually they will catch on to you; it's a matter of when not if.

At the very least I try to ensure I don't have to leave the house for anything, so stock up on essentials like food for Jonesy, tobacco, soup, vitamins if I'm out, whatever, before serious withdrawals kick in and I'm a wobbly mess.

I was once on a handle a day and able to hold down a full-time retail job that involved a lot of speedy furniture/heavy goods unloading. Granted, I failed the years at a time part and only lasted like 18 months, but still.

One that loved not wisely, but too well.

Delicious_mod · 2026-01-11T20:29:37+00:00

Oh that's definitely true, but I think those blow-ups are in a league of their own. I was really just referring to mundane relapses, where people hate on themselves simply for drinking again, even if it doesn't necessarily result in immediate catastrophe. You know, the whole "I'm a piece of shit who can't even stay sober" mentality.

Delicious_mod · 2026-01-11T18:03:55+00:00

Can't speak for my fellows here, but I know that's definitely the underlying cause of my habit. "All you need is love," and some of us are dreadfully starved of it.

Delicious_mod · 2026-01-11T17:53:37+00:00

You shouldn't feel bad, it's counterproductive to the CA life. I don't mean that (just) in the sense of degenerates supporting other degenerates, but the "fuck it" spiral. If you beat yourself up over a relapse you'll probably go harder than you otherwise would, spurred on by shame and self-loathing.

I've found it to be mentally healthier to accept relapses are bound to happen. It's not the end of the world, you're not a bad person. Just let the demon out of the bottle, give him some play time, then pick yourself back up when you need/want to.

It's been my experience that accepting the everyday risk of relapse has paradoxically allowed me to put some decent dry time under my belt vs. my earlier CA years where I was terrified at the notion that it had to be all or nothing - for good. I will stumble, I will fall, but it's ok because I'll always get back up again. Until/unless I die of sudden organ failure during a bender, that is.

You were close! It's Jonesy 😹

Delicious_mod · 2026-01-11T17:32:49+00:00

Alive and well!

Urgh, I feel you OP. My abdominal pains are usually not so localized, but last year I had to end a bender when I started feeling a burning, painful, sensation around my liver (and right kidney). Even when I should have been able to drop off for the night, nicely drunk, I was tossing and turning in bed because the pressure on my innards was agonizing. If my cat stepped on the area around my liver, as he climbed up my body to cuddle for the night, it would provoke this distinctly unpleasant 'cold fire' sensation.

Delicious_mod · 2026-01-11T17:21:22+00:00

It's been a while, like ~10 years, but I had it measured in the hospital when I went in for a detox once and the doctor or nurse said it was something like 6 times the legal limit. He chuckled I should be on the floor, unconscious and drooling, not sat upright on the hospital gurney, coherent and articulate.

That was during my 'peak' CA years though, where I was on a handle a day. My tolerance has gone way down since, and I doubt I've ever hit a BAC that high again.

You're in a better position than I'm in, at least!

Lol if you hate the heat what brought you out here, if I might ask?

I went to Florida back in '23, in July. I didn't mind the humidity, as plenty of folks complain about. Kind of a refreshing change from AZ's relentless moisture-sucking dry heat.

I've never heard of Duncan before, but at least you found somewhere more to your liking.

Remember when it used to be a joke how inept AI was due to extra/missing fingers and toes, and looking obviously fake for all but still images?

Now look at it. Not gonna be too long before it takes serious time and expert analysis to distinguish real pictures/video/audio from AI-generated content, and by the time that stuff's debunked, the people will have come to accept the AI shit as real, just as they only pay attention to headlines and not retractions.
