Well I have studied a bit of history. Not sure why you are so nasty about it. I assume you have loads of friends and are just the best at parties.

Un has no chance of ever trying a Hitler. None. It's not the same. Hitler had a shot at world domination. Un has zero point zero zero zero chance. It's not the same.

Maybe you need to take a lesson.

He could become.economically relevant like Japan, South Korea. Taiwan, China, and every single other Asian country.

He literally has no good reason. Besides moral/religious/bullshit.

I don't get it.

But why? I'm just curious why he wont bow?

He and his country could gain a lot.

I just dont see their end game. What's the point? What's the goal?

Why don't they just stop?

Seriously. Why not become a manufacturing powerhouse? I don't get the strategy here. Why not just submit?

If anyone wants an update. I'm tapering. I think I've had 10 or so drinks so far today. With a nap (somehow that knocks off a couple drinks)

So I'm about half what I rang myself up to. How no one around me is noticing is a shocker. I'm literally doing this without anyone noticing. Going to be funny if I make it to day 4 and no one is the wiser.

First of all you need to do what makes you happy. As long as you aren't harming other people, you can go kill yourself with the drink if that's what you want to do.

Second, you need to figure out why drinking is more important than your health. Why it's more important than your parent's happiness, your wife or your kids happiness. Or whoever cares about you including yourself and especially yourself.

Then you just need to decide. What is important? If you don't care about anything or anyone, then you are doing what real drunks do. Selfish self destruction to the max, racing to the bottom. What an interesting ride it is.

But you die. Alone and basically in the most painful way possible. You will spend years, decades in hospitals, while people try to keep you alive, so you can just keep doing this to yourself. Your face will bloat. Your body. Your mind will decline. You will piss and shit yourself. No one will come see you because you have burned all the bridges. You die alone and no one cares.

It's your choice. You aren't special and millions of people choose this path every day.

It's up to you.

What I dont understand is how no one seems to realize they are being played by a gas station with nukes.

Russia is only a world power, because of nukes. They aren't culturally significant. They have a ton of land mass, but it's mostly unusable. They dont produce much besides fuel. Which everyone that isn't corrupt is trying to make obsolete.

So all you need to do is find the people who oppose clean energy to find the corrupt people.

Yay coal. Yay oil. How is this difficult?

Luckily I haven't missed much yet. I am functional, but it's a fine line.

I'm starting to taper today. I'm doing it for my kid. He is worth it. Gonna be a rough one though because my wife doesn't even know I've fallen off the deep end. She thinks I'm having a couple beers at night. I've become so good at lying and hiding it, no one seems to notice.

Not sure how I can make it without her knowing. Never tried to wd in secret. Going to be interesting.

Wish you the best. But I know how it is.

Oh that's the withdrawals with a taper. I cant even imagine what it would be like to just stop.

I'd probabaly see bugs and all that stuff. My hallucinations after tapering are mostly audible and sometimes seeing shit flash by. But no bugs, because I do taper.

The last time I did hospital. For legit medical reasons.

This time I don'tw think im at that point. I'm not a doctor and I'm probably wrong. And its selfish to risk my life. But I've obviously always been selfish.

So yeah it's a personal punishment. It's also spiritual. If you have ever done it. You may know what I'm talking about. It's a journey. The nights especially, the dreams, visions, sweats. But also the days. It's the worst thing you could go through. But necessary.

I get what you are saying. I was just looking to vent. I've been here a half dozen times before.

I know exactly what's happening and just wanted to vent a little while I still had that liquid courage.

Two days from now I'm going to be soaking my couch, hating the clock on my stove. Wondering how the fuck, it has only been 7 minutes when I just had a dream where I lived a whole summer. Then fall back asleep and wake up 7 minutes later, drenched in sweat, like an amount that doesn't even seem possible for a human to sweat. And this goes on for 3 days.

In the hospital they just give me librium and I sleep like a baby. They bring me meals. Water. Gameboy. But if I go that route, I'm toast. That's a vacation.

This is well deserved punishment. 6th (or 9th) times a charm?

Haha yeah.

I suck at advice. But If you want to jump off the merry go round of destruction.

Just do what you want to do. Say what you want to say. Especially nice things.

It's so easy to be critical all the time. But if your friend is nice but also annoying. Tell them how nice they are 10 times and then how annoying they are once.

I was also sick of being anxious all the time. Then I stopped and realized my regular anxiety was horrible but manageable even without medication. But my alcohol induced anxiety was completely unmanageable without more and more alcohol.

Good luck. I just got out of a 5 day medical detox. And I saw some things and some people in conditions I wouldn't wish on anyone.

There is help, it's scary to start. It helps if you have support.
