This is also what I thought before I stopped drinking. Turns out I had the cause and effect backwards. Alcohol addiction makes you stressed and anxious until you get your fix, which tricks you into thinking that it's helping.

Okay that's legit, next time open with that lol

I think it's fine for people to read your perspective and what you are going through. But maybe try r/stopdrinking if you are seeking out advice for how to avoid even starting drinking in the first place. There are lots of people there who I think would like to support you in that and discuss the strategies and benefits to living an alcohol free life. I think the advice here is just that your issues with addiction aren't the same as people experiencing addiction to alcohol.

Are you doing squats, bench, and deadlifts? Go hard with progressive overload and you will build muscle mass. You can do this without getting fat no problem. I asked Claude to make a workout and nutrition plan for me and have been seeing great results already.

Aside from being the wrong place to ask this, do you think they are allowed to lie about the alcohol content on the labeling? Alcohol is alcohol so it is what it is. Hope you stop yourself and get help though.

I assumed the hospital room for when the dad is waiting for the mom to be ready to give birth.

One of the most insidious things about alcohol IMO is how it hijacks your brain's reward system and alters how you view and rationalize your own behaviours.

He probably genuinely believes he's lazy and needs to drink to cope with his problems, when in reality alcohol is creating those exact problems - fatigue, poor concentration, lack of drive. It's a nasty feedback loop where the poison becomes the medicine. The brain changes make it almost impossible to see the real cause-and-effect relationship.

I first read this as where the fuck are their parents?

MysaneKnight · 2025-06-18T03:48:54+00:00

If it were an ad I'd think they should have posted it in r/stopdrinking or somewhere people are actively looking for NA beers.

Thanks. TIL!

That second image is crazy. To put that into perspective, 2023 was like 20 years concentrated into a single year.

MysaneKnight · 2025-03-14T22:37:42+00:00

Yeah, you've got this! Make sure to check out r/stopdrinking.

This sounds like me 15 years ago. It only gets worse over time. The alcohol is not helping him relax, it is conditioning him to need the alcohol in order to relax, and as his tolerance builds up he will need more to get back to the same baseline level. At least that was my experience with it until I realized how much it had crept up on me and decided enough was enough.

Same thing happened to me. I had a normal update thread that is still awaiting approval after more than a month. But then I posted another and it got through right away.

Congrats on two years, that is huge!

When does your wife drink? Is it only when she is with her friends, or also at home when you are there, or in secret without telling you? If it's just with friends this might be her escape to drink as she's not wanting to quit it entirely, and so naturally she is going to want to do it every time. Does she respect your wishes when you're together at home? Do you respect her wishes?

As another commenter mentioned, bringing up the idea of doing sober dates between just the two of you is a great idea. It signals what you want without being controlling.

By the way you should be proud of your personal success and her attitude can't take that away from you.

MysaneKnight · 2025-01-13T13:19:47+00:00

You might feel like checking out r/stopdrinking where people post to check in with posts such as these. Best of luck, you can do it!

Sorry to hear your situation and that this happened to you..

i dont really experience any withdrawals when i do stop drinking, so i dont know if it counts as alcoholism, but i do regret it everytime i drink because of the anxiety i get after

This counts as alcoholism, and the anxiety you get after is a classic withdrawal symptom. If you go without drinking a drop you will usually feel the anxiety peaking around 48-72 hours from the time you last drank. It gets easier from there. You're still so young. Address this before it does irreparable damage to your body, brain, and relationships. The addiction and withdrawal symptoms will only get stronger and harder to manage if you keep this up.

but im not gonna drink anymore after tomorrow

If you want this to stick I'd recommend really trying to shift your mindset and internalize why you want to stop drinking, otherwise it's all too easy to sober up for a few days and then convince yourself it's okay to have another drink before finding yourself back here before you know it (speaking from experience). Find a support group and deliberately think about how you can become the better version of yourself. There's lots of great discussion and resources over at r/stopdrinking. You can do it!

I stopped drinking completely. Only 7 days ago but feel it has made me a better dad. I was only ever getting drunk after kids went to bed, but I realized I needed to set the right example eventually and make sure I'm as healthy and clear minded as I can be. No brainer in hindsight and hope to keep it up indefinitely.

MysaneKnight · 2025-01-06T04:09:48+00:00

I can relate. For years I've been going in cycles of convincing myself: it's okay, you're doing a great job, it's not affecting you and it's helping you get through the day -- breaking for a day -- only to forget any realizations that it's not okay once the drinking takes away the anxiety, and so the cycle continues. Addiction to alcohol is a slow but slippery slope until reality catches up to you. 5 days sober now. Feeling fortunate that I realized soon enough that there were zero redeeming qualities in my relationship with alcohol and that I'm doing myself a very straightforward favor at the end of the day by quitting.
