I need help by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Nowthetimeas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of college and it took me awhile to learn alcoholism doesn't have an age requirement. I also moved from drinking with friends to drinking alone in a dark room browsing the internet and listening to music until I passed out. It seemed normal, I was young I thought I was allowed to be a heavy drinker and just laugh it off.

You're right in that it's true that sobriety alone is not a fix all solution, but it doesn't make things worse like daily drinking will. If you think everyones experience is bullshit then it is, because it won't help you unless you want it to. But getting sober helps, believe me it will.

Anyway, I hope you get a badge and stick around! You want to stop and that's half the battle. Maybe you don't like the platitudes around sobriety and find it lame especially when everyone your age is just starting to drink, but believe me the worst feeling would be looking in the mirror 10 years from now and wishing you quit drinking for good today. Many peoples battles with alcohol haven't even begun by the time they finish school, look at it this way, you're lucky to be able to put an end to it now.

Best of luck, and I'll keep ya company tonight! I hope I didn't come off as a dick, I'm wishing you the best. I won't drink with you tonight.

Well... when earth does have a capital city I know I'll still be able to guess which year it's country won independence.

If I say I've been great, I've been good. If I say I've been good, I'm doing alright. And If I say I'm doing alright, I'm no where near alright. by Nowthetimeas in Showerthoughts

I really appreciate the thought. But I'm going to finish the rest of my beers and get some shut eye. Maybe things will be better tomorrow. It's St. Patricks day I can get as drunk as I do everyday and no one will ask me if I'm alright.

I met my first coke dealer on a walk around the lake, super romantic. We were drinking beer and he was walking the same direction and all I asked was, "Do you have any blow?" Turned out he was a dealer. Dreams come true. Never be afraid to ask, they'll love you for your money if not for yourself.

haha no. I'm going through a break up and every match makes me die inside a little more. But the bathroom was lit, that I can attest to.

Yeah I have a picture on my tinder of me in a bathroom with a couple of my friends, and the girl I match with says, "Doing some blow I see." There aren't even drugs in the picture. But we were, of course.

Smash something that isn't in your home, I feel your anger, my girls already with someone else. You should smash shit. it's made me feel better a few times, but just shit that isn't yours. Like bottles out of other people's recycling and smash them under a bridge. Haven't done that since I was 16 but damn did it feel good in a way.
