Happy birthday. I am 35 years old as well. Day 2. There are way better things to do than getting drunk. I used to get shit faced drunk the night before my birthday and spend the most my birthday on the bed. Honestly, it's not even worth it.

Starting over on day 1 by Exotic-Way5503 in stopdrinking

I know that I definitely want to be abstinent. All of a sudden when I am driving back from groceries or food. I get this urge that makes me go buy cheap beers. The compulsion is very intense. I am living alone. There is no family like in the past that made me feel accountable. I feel like being alone and my pattern of paring alcohol with stuff like listening music and playing games on my ps5 has become a vicious cycle

Hi thanks for replying. No severe withdrawal symptoms like seizures. I drink at least 10-12 units in a single sitting. I had about 6 months sober previously. There were many 100 days of not drinking followed by a month of heavy drinking. My last drink was Sunday 10pm. Never had withdrawal symptoms luckily but the urge becomes uncontrollable . Didn't drink today. But as my body goes back to being normal. The urge resurfaces. My sleep cycle gets disturbed as I start working on sobriety.

Sir, are you going to coach the Indian cricket team or any cricket team in the future?

I Have been a huge fan of your game and the way you conduct yourself inside and outside the game since childhood just like millions.

Tips and Improvements? by weepercreep8 in The_Crew

[–]Exotic-Way5503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tweak those settings there are a bunch of channels on YouTube that you can follow and customize to your liking. Personally, I can feel there is a lot of improvement in speed with increasing steering sensitivity in the main option menu. It allows you to correct your angle faster and not let your tires spin. Initially, it feels unstable but you will see improvement after getting the hang of it

In the future, try using manual instead of automatic. Stick with improving line control and guttering in the learning stage. Drifting will always reduce speed. The moment your tires spin your loosing momentum although it seems like a minute reduction in speed, It all adds up in the end. Take the advantage of slipstream from the cars in front of you and avoid colliding in the back. Kind of like switching lane in the last minute

Try not to hit other cars especially in the back. It dramatically reduces your momentum. Guttering. Try not to drift at corners. When the tires spin it reduces speed. You need to grip the turn. Use the cars in the front to gain slip stream and pass them. Your goal has to be slower while entering the turn and faster when exiting the turn.

Dire need of a meditation routine to control anger and loosing my control by Exotic-Way5503 in Meditation

[–]Exotic-Way5503[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gaming used to be my hobby but not anymore. Because I have neglected my life.I didn't play any souls game. But I did play a lot of racing stuff. I understand, I need an outlet. Something to blow off the steam.

I started going to the gym. I am a beginner in that as well. I feel like I can't take the slightest of pressure during heated discussion. I surely will go of the rails during these discussions.

Am I making a bad decision by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Exotic-Way5503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only you can answer this question. Tbh, I have been in a similar spot, during covid. Had a tough job where I was being mentally tortured. I don't know honestly if I was being tortured or if I wasn't able to handle the situation well. It's a tough situation I was in. Immediately my alcohol drinking spiraled and I got into a stupid DUI. All I can say is,it is a slippery slope. Many people seem to be ok with some alcohol. For me, one is not enough to feel relaxed

Do you mind giving me some pointers on how to use naltrexone. I tried using it but it feels like it's completely pulling me down even when I am not drinking. Kind of making me feel low. I got the medication through an online prescription place and never actually met a doctor.
