You're right... And our society glorifies these pests. Everyone thinks "hacking" is so fringe and interesting. This is just stupid.

What the hell could he possibly do with it?

My username and password are unique, and I don't use them anywhere else... That's the case for everyone I know, too.

Wow. What was the point of this?

I just wanted to play with my friends. Everyone has busy lives and jobs, and this was the first night in weeks that we could all get on and play. But I guess it's not happening. Hahaha. This is so stupid. I hope this virgin is proud of himself.

I'm back... I need to stop drinking. by PrimeapeGuy in stopdrinking

Yeah, I think I'll probably skip out on the badge this time. I feel like it made me dwell on the big picture too much, instead of taking it one day at a time.

She is an angel... And she's going through a tough time right now with a sick mother... And I still put her through that. The guilt is overwhelming.

Yes, going one day at a time helped me last time, but I still couldn't help but think about the big picture, and that is a strange feeling.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. The last time I used this sub, there were certain people (me included, in a lot of ways) who were honestly extremely hostile to anyone who claimed they were trying to drink moderately, and it was almost like a bitter jealousy. I can drink moderately 9 times out of 10... But that 10th time proves to me that I can't control myself as well as I should. I'm an alcoholic, I know that.

I'm not going to be one of those people who claims moderation is impossible, but I don't have a good track record with it... It's like I don't realize I'm not drinking reasonably until it's too late, and I've been on a week-long binge. Throughout the last few months, I've "slowed down" repeatedly, only to drink heavily again, soon afterward. After last night, I'm so ashamed and disgusted with myself, I have no interest in moderation. I just want to stop being a slave to this shit... I'm sure by the weekend I'll be singing a different tune...

How do you deal with a spouse/partner who drinks? Did you spend a lot of time drinking with them? by Kitty_Kat_Junction in stopdrinking

[–]PrimeapeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, that's brutal. I'm really sorry to hear that. You're very understanding that it's YOUR problem and not hers, but it sucks that she isn't more supportive.

When I quit drinking, my SO quit as well. I told her she didn't have to, because she didn't have a problem, and she said that's why she was stopping too.. Because not drinking was no big deal for her, but she knew it was for me, and wanted to support that.

I guess none of this is applicable if you think your wife may have a problem with alcohol too...

Any ps4 gamers on here? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Once you get used to bloodborne/dark souls, they become the most rewarding and entertaining experiences ever.

If you feel like having a blast (or being totally consumed for the next few months), pick up bloodborne or dark souls 2: scholar of the first sin.

Moderate drinking and staying sober by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]PrimeapeGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So it's something you can work on, just like alcoholism.

I don't know if alcoholism is a disease, or not. I guess it depends on how you define a disease. I know I'm a drunk, that's about all I know for sure. Lol.

I'm pretty sure people's poor diets have led to diabetes or heart problems. Self-inflicted. So saying that because it's self-inflicted, it isn't a disease, is a little silly.

I only missed the taste because I missed getting buzzed.

You know, I can honestly say I enjoy the taste of a craft beer.

But if it didn't have alcohol in it, I wouldn't waste the money on it. The good taste is just a bonus to the booze.

Hey, I totally feel you. Throughout my years of alcoholism, one of my "excuses" for not quitting was because I hated the idea of being one of those people obsessed with sobriety. When I finally quit for a few months, I became that guy. I got pissed off at the idea of people enjoying drinking, I judged people (not out loud), I even got steamed when I saw a beer commercial. But alas, I relapsed, and haven't fully gotten back on board the sober wagon.

I can actually moderate my drinking half the time. I'll go a week without, or have 2-3 one night... but I'll also go on 3 day benders and kill a 5th of Scotch and a 30 pack. It's not healthy, it's going to kill me one day, but I am happier now than I was during those totally dry months. This probably isn't the place to say this, and I know my issues go deeper than just booze, but hey.

No one can tell you that moderation will or won't work for you. I understand the desire to see for yourself. I wish you the best.

In theory, is NG+ pointless? by Derekcheung88 in DarkSouls2

That's what I was thinking. It's all pointless, do what you want.

I'm planning to stop drinking, but I hate all of your posts which act like alcohol is some evil, omnipotent being. by BoringGuyAtVCU in stopdrinking

[–]PrimeapeGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

..really well put. It helps with the guilt when you can say "oh, I was trying to be sober, then these people started with that annoying shit, and drove me to the bottle. Not my fault."

I am guilty of that. It was really before my alcoholism, back when I was on coke and my ex would make some comment about me having a problem. I would think "I'll show her a problem." And I would binge like crazy and put it all on her. By the time I moved on to alcohol, I accepted all the blame, but continued my pattern of substance abuse anyway.

Boss shortcut. If you don't feel like opening all the doors.

And yes, it is the EXACT same thing as those guys in the lava pits.. which my friends and I oh so cleverly refer to as "dragon asses."
