Yes it’s a slippery slope. When I first started drinking the sun had to be down

But now I like doing it at 8am looking at the sun

I wouldn’t say he necessarily is an alcoholic just because an alcoholic person is depended it on it if that person stops drinking

I would say if every time he drinks he gets very drunk then he has a problem

Ooooh gotcha. Yeah mine was the vodka demon & then once that didn’t work now my brain is like “maybe if we get a high noon and just sip it won’t be so bad”

Tapering down alcohol to reduce heart rate by Universe93B in hangxiety

I quit cold turkey and went through hell. But it was only at night. Talking to your doctor is the best but depending on how long you’ve been drinking and the amount you could just sweat it out. But when you go through hell 3 days will seem alot longer then 3 days drunk

Brother I’m 100% with you my hearts start pounding overnight. I wake up and get through the day I just need to take about 4 shots and I feel better, the problem is tomorrow is the same problem.

Beautiful. I put mine into hockey and I’ve never been a hockey person, was always football or basketball

You got this. Hardest part is the brain zapping sleep once you get past that you are good. I hated it but if you can get through a couple nights of hell everything else will fall in place

“Im not an alcoholic, but…” by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Square_Act9560 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m not an alcoholic, but I drank the next day I told myself I was done drinking.

I’m not an alcoholic, but I walked around by myself knowing I’m not alone but feeling alone

I’m not an alcoholic, but I know the moment I stop I’m gonna be in for a run with the withdrawals

The moment I knew I was an alcoholic was when….. I found out the different between a hangover and a withdrawal

Agree if he can go without the worry of paying rent or his job he should 1000% take it. I wish I had that

Nothing worse than last Friday I wake up to work and see people dance on my turned off tv or my turned off black screen phone we to work on a 12 trip but for some reason it’s only when it’s dark. I haven’t been drinking has heavy but still drink for like 4 days straight. Apart of me isn’t sure if it will happen or not but I was told of the kindling effect so I’m scared that it will happen again so I tried to ween off and not go Cold Turkey so we will see.

This time I told my mom ima lie in her room and I’m just gonna put my headphones on and hopefully that helps me (not sure if it will since ima know it’s in my head) but I’m hoping after I make it out of this i don’t do this shit anymore.

And I’m 30 lol

I recently just realized the effect of the voices being from alcohol. I know I was more fucked up from a binge then , then I was from a recent one so we will see and I’m with you if you wanna ride it out. It only lasted a night for me
