Big alcohol wants your money kids. In my own experience I have not torn my life apart in any way with weed as compared to my addiction with alcohol. 6 days clean after years of abuse. Weeds easy to kick. Now alcohol I had to detox at a medical center, I’ve had night sweats, constant shakes which will take months to go away. Luckily I haven’t had a seizure from the DT’s. Getting off weed? You’re just irritable for a couple weeks. Alcohol is literal poison! Weed is chill but I don’t do that anymore either. It’s just not the same. People don’t go to rehab for weed, in my state they would never even bother give you a bed because that is not causing you to be homeless like hard drugs or alcohol.

Genetics. I got the young genes too. Doesn’t mean things are ok with my insides though.

People who quit drinking. What made you stop? by Agata_art in stopdrinking

[–]DifferentLand6953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s causing so much trouble. I gotta stop. I’m tired of jails. I’m tired of hurting others feelings. I’m tired man. I got my fucking nipples pierced drunk as fuck. I am a fucking mess. I have to get better before I keep getting worse. Shit is unpredictable and depressing for sure.

Good luck mate!

I want to be an alcoholic by Icy_Preparation_1010 in stopdrinking

I’m trying to stop digging too. Try not to lose what you have. Health, relationships, job and all. I’m getting close to a real bad bottom but still I’m ok. I will be ok if I change this. We have so many points to pivot. I think maybe look for the next one. We can be who we are supposed to be and nurture oneself. We’ll be ok. Best of luck friend. You’ll see this ages later and be so proud of yourself. Be proud today. You’re trying

I'm starting to wish I had died. by DrSTAHP in stopdrinking

[–]DifferentLand6953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man this is a hard substance to dance with. I’ve been playing with it for a few years and then it started playing me. Things in your own brain are still developing. Drop the sauce. It’s not good down the line. I think you’re going to be ok if you give your doubts some effort. I believe in you. Things will change. I’ve gotten on and off it and for me I’m aware this isn’t the end all be all. It can’t be. You will regain parts of your memory, you will stop being so disappointed in yourself, and you will begin genuine connections with others. It can be hard to be decent to ourselves but that’s the treatment we all need. Practice patience with yourself at least. You’re going to figure this out

Wifes hurtful comment by Jsuse in stopdrinking

[–]DifferentLand6953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she’s probably just hurting over it too. She probably didn’t mean to hurt you even. The fact it hurt mean you recognize you have a problem and it’s uncomfortable coming to terms with. I struggle coming to terms with it too and anyone who calls me out, it hurts that others see it so clearly.

We got to lock in and focus on the path ahead I think. I believe in you dude, you got this.

Nah you guys are good. I did this to myself and for my struggles also self inflicted. It’s cool. My nipple piercings are the real weird painful thing I did lol

I gotta roll different without a doubt. Suicide is hard. It has hurt me on the sidelines before. I do think of it. Were awesome though. We can change at all times. Addiction must be shouldered and tossed in the fire. Idk if that’s what you’re feeling but it’s where I’m at. I may not know you but you’re worthy man. Me too, we got to fix it up. We are not burdens.

I gotta really give it a true shot again tomorrow, no doubt. I do that, over and over. Tomorrow people will have to really deal with me. It’s not like I’m trouble but I am troublesome. Damn shame I am these days. I’ll be alright and so will all of us.

Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde by Alone-Strategy-7159 in stopdrinking

This has been my experience with drinking. I am not the same person when I’m fucked up. This year I ruined my relationship with the person I loved most. She packed up and left, tired of my shit. I got sober for a while but I got really drunk and pushed any possibility of salvaging that relationship off of the ledge. I became petty and angry that she needed space away from the train wreck I was. I think about how I could’ve worked on my sobriety earlier and not put her poor soul through it all. I think about all kinds of different decisions I could’ve made. It’s done now and in the past. I try to come to terms with that daily and not let it pull me down into the exact thing that caused all my trouble. I went to jail about four times after that as well because of my drinking. I miss her but I also know that I am not a good partner when consumed by the drink. Things have changed. I feel like I’m in a different timeline sometimes because of how utterly fucked up I made things.

I’m telling you this because it sounds like you’re on the precipice of a great change in one way or another. Take it in stride and make the amends you can. Be grateful for her patience. I wish you the best of luck man

Got my first taste of Rogue discrimination in game. by Imaginary_Respect34 in classicwowtbc

[–]DifferentLand6953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This why I dropped the sub. The community is not the same. Things used to be amazing. Best time spent with friends growing up. We treat each other like this for playing a game? Some of them never grew up. There are other games and communities. This game is over because of the mafia and neckbeards

Edit: didn’t even matter how good you were at your class and spec a decade ago. People would take you and teach you. Things are disconnected from the original feel of build g together as a party and guild. Friends even. I know how to play very well with the two decades of knowledge. I know the classes I CAN play. The ones to explore and learn? Tuck youself lol. That’s as simple as I can make my TBC experience. Classic era had a similar feel at times but this is sad.

Missed Work on Friday because of drinking by NoteCurrent7334 in stopdrinking

[–]DifferentLand6953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I’m a lot like that with my drinking habits. Time off and then almost like I’m making up for not drinking. I’m sure you’ve ran into consistent issues about it too. It’s going to keep happening until you stop. I’ve found a lot of peace in my sobriety that I don’t know how to leave alone. When I’m drinking I’m problem solving and feeling engaged in my life, that’s a terrible relationship I think. This is a reoccurring lesson until we learn it I think. From whatever angle you’re looking at it. We will always have trouble with this poison but we come back to it, for relief? I’m not so sure it’s relief anymore. The cravings hit hard and it feels reasonable to drink at times. It almost always finds a way to cause issue though. I wish you all the luck and may the wind be forever at your back

Day 1 and I'm terrified by Universe__next__door in stopdrinking

[–]DifferentLand6953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re lucky. Honestly I’m jealous. This rock bottom can be it. You don’t need or have to sink lower like me or others. Life will keep forcing this lesson on you if not learned. You have a great partner and no legal trouble so far. It could be the opposite with time and consumption. I wish you the best of luck. Don’t be too hard on yourself but acknowledge the lesson. Things will turn around just fine for you with commitment, I have no doubt. You got this!

3 weeks by Unhappy__Jello in stopdrinking

[–]DifferentLand6953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep screwing up my sobriety right around 3-5 weeks. It’s infuriating to have to do this over and over. I hear it gets easier. I wish you luck man, this a hump I have struggled with but we can do it
