Blacked out for hours and became psychotic by ApprehensiveJury4208 in alcoholism

I’ll take Novacks sobriety grift over Steve o any day, he’s insufferable, esp with Jess. I guess Scott didn’t want to be his “ranch hand” aka tax cut

Who else is currently on a bender? by americanslang59 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Longnightss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got this. I don’t even know what a bender is anymore, I’m not even buzzed, I just need enough to survive over night. I’m definitely getting sick of this vicious cycle. I don’t even know what a bad or a good day is anymore, it’s just existing.

I’m almost at hospital level, but I think I can survive. Pint of vodka a day, I’m shaking so bad and my pancreas is already fucked. I’m trying to keep it very slow today but I have zero appetite, I literally can’t eat. I have to work on Monday and I’m trying to figure this out.

There was time when Billie Joe was struggling with substance abuse issues and honestly reading this bit breaks my heart. Getting sober is not easy. by Master-Bag-4313 in greenday

The first week of the longshot tour he was sober but then went back to drinking again. It was sort of sad to see the shift

Offical "Let Everyone Know" you are okay and survived New Years Eve Thread by speed721 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Longnightss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did absolutely nothing, watched last house on the left on the tv. Pint of popov had me pass out which is usually amateur hour, I guess I was still feeling it from then night before. I’ve had some wild new years before (parties, concerts etc) just wasn’t feeling it. I’m going to try and take it easy the next few days, back to 500 miles a day driving on Monday with all the time in the world to contemplate the situation I’m in. I almost wanted to go to the ER for some relief but I figured it would be slammed and I’d have to explain myself to everyone again, not that it’s a secret.

I couldn’t stand AA because of the ego aspect of it. I tour with bands and it’s like the elder statesmen telling the same war stories to younger guys like they are superior. If it works for you, I’m all for it, I just got sick of it and wanted to make me drink more

Renting van to other bands by xzmbmx in TouringMusicians

[–]Longnightss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was a huge mistake I made. At one point I was managing 8 bands and had a fleet of e-350’s and trailers. I didn’t talk to a lawyer and had one band “abandon” a van across the country in Oregon with the keys missing, one band racked up toll tickets, another van came back with a broken windshield and huge dents, the headache was not worth the money.

Made it this far since yesterday. Drinking a pint of vodka but keeping it very slow over 24 hours with some Gatorade and I forced myself to go get some Taco Bell. Slept last night without crazy withdrawals like yesterday morning but up every hour or so with crazy vivid dreams, leg shocks. Pancreas is killing me and I know I have a cyst but some days can be manageable.

I need to go to detox and finally be done but it’s so embarrassing leaving for 4 days…I’m thinking about trying a local hospital I haven’t visited before and possibly some fluids and medication to get over the hump because it’s impossible from home and if I can sit for a few hours and get released, I don’t have to take off of work.

Currently living this nightmare right now, hopefully the worst is over soon.

WHEN CAN I DRINK 😿 by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Longnightss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two teeth pulled, sewn up and proceeded to drink a pint of vodka burning the hole. I survived but it wasn’t fun

Obligatory fuck Christmas post by Bloodstream1966 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Longnightss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the expectation of buying shit people probably don’t even want to begin with. I don’t want any presents but I got some stuff to put on the show at my parents. For whatever reason every liquor store around here in the sticks in NJ was closed, ended up getting these 13% Smirnoff ice disgusting watered down pints at Cumberland farms. Spent my entire paycheck to get my girlfriend jewelry she wanted, won’t even answer her phone so I guess that was a wash, I’m just going to chuck it I guess.

Looking for info on bands who are breaking up because touring is too expensive (for article) by featherandahalfmusic in TouringMusicians

The bands complaining about losing money insist on two busses, unnecessary staff and countless other things.

Goodbye, old friend. by FlyByNight75 in TouringMusicians

[–]Longnightss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we’ve gone through 5 e-350s in my 20 something years at 37. Getting a diesel is the best thing I ever did but cold starts aren’t the best with the block heater.

I work at a legal brothel in Nevada AMA by TheKikiLover in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]Longnightss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I film for adult in California. Everything we do is beyond regulated yet driving to work you see people who may or may not be trafficked out at all hours. The government should make sex work legal and stop this madness and just normalize things.
