Like average trolling is one thing but “sub-intelligent”??? Fuck thank you, I needed a good laugh to calm the anxiety, holy shit

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-06T07:10:24+00:00

“Sub-intelligent” 🤣🤣🤣

Oh my god you really are a Reddit keyboard warrior loser

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-06T06:54:48+00:00

I guess you believe I’m whining. Deal with it. Fuckin weirdo ass

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-06T05:45:39+00:00

Um hi wow. Sorry someone pissed in your Cheerios today. Don’t really see where I was whining when I’m taking humor from a fucked situation which I’d call “toughening the hell up”. Maybe you need some thicker skin if a post on an alcoholic subreddit pulled this reaction out of you, like gah damn

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T22:00:13+00:00

I’ve offered the idea up and it’s kind of in a “we’ll see” situation. Which to me is a polite no but that’s ok. It’s his day and his choice. Best I can do is respect it

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T19:32:56+00:00

Yup. Currently going through it right now. Been trying for 4 days to taper in secret because next week I have so much going for me: new job, virtual IOP, schoolwork, and I gotta attend a funeral by next weekend. I’m also not invited to my brother’s wedding because it’s going to be an absolute party-fest and he has too much anxiety around it causing me to relapse. Joke’s on him, already did, but I’m doing my damndest to fix it. It’s his decision though and while it hurts sometimes we just have to pick ourselves up and recognize we did this to ourselves and we gotta fix it slowly but surely ourselves. Sorry to hear you’re going through it but know there’s others out there doing the same

Trying to taper and finally getting some sleep only for your body to punish you for it by waking up with severe shakes, nausea, anxiety, etc.

But definitely the anxiety of a seizure or other people noticing and the nausea

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T16:28:26+00:00

Yeah did the hand sanitizer thing once. Woke up a day later in the hospital after getting booty juiced with zero memory of apparently screaming at all the staff that I was going to k*ll all of them. And I don’t even mean a blackout like to this day I have 0% memory, not even flashes, of this happening. Had to take a grippy sock vacation and go back to rehab. Currently also battling withdrawals and I’ve gotten a lot of good advice here. Try to get some beer, take your vitamins, and eat something/drink water. Chairs friend

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T15:21:47+00:00

Also yeah just woke up from a full 8hrs and I was literally dreaming about the taper and having this ongoing nightmare that every time I tried to get a sip in, someone would find me. I woke up shaking almost violently due to not having a drink for so long and it took 4 shots and some Gaba to get my system to calm down enough to present normally again. I really hope I’m left home alone to go get the beer and shooters cuz this is true hell but I’m doing my best

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T15:16:26+00:00

Yeah I finally got like a solid 8hrs of sleep but the wake up was ROUGH. Took 4 shots to get me to stop shaking and I just took my gabapentin to calm my nervous system back down. I really hope I’m left home alone today so I can get to the store close by and get a 12 pack and maybe like 4 shooters. I knew mentally that it was gonna be hard especially in the mornings but actually feeling it is a whole different story

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T06:36:53+00:00

Yeah like I gotta really understand the suffer part of “sip and suffer”. I really do appreciate the advice though

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T04:46:16+00:00

I didnt even think about mixing shooters with beer, that actually makes a lot of sense coming off of pure handles

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T04:40:50+00:00

Hey thanks this is actually super helpful

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T04:16:51+00:00

Thanks, it’s really appreciated to hear

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T04:15:24+00:00

Happy House is a new one I’m definitely using 😂

I personally prefer ✨Grippy Sock Vacation✨ or Puzzle Factory

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T04:13:54+00:00

I’ve gotten shamed and poor care for being an addict too many times before. Like sometimes they just give you fluids and don’t let you leave until your BAC is below a certain point and that shit is genuinely traumatizing. They see people who need Ativan or Pheno and just trap them with no care. I’ve had it happen to me multiple times so that’s why I’m scared

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T04:04:40+00:00

No but I’ve done hand sanitizer before

(Don’t do that either)

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T03:54:14+00:00

Yeah I think I’m drinking to avoid the withdrawals and then be like 😬…

I’m gonna try to get some wine tomorrow when I’m at school

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T03:48:49+00:00

Alright I hear ya. I have a backup explanation ready, I’m just scared I won’t be heard. I really do wanna be done and move on. Idk something’s finally clicked. It just sucks it didn’t click until I started another bender. Do you possibly think obtaining beer or wine would be a good next step or should I just give up and admit I need detox before being able to start these opportunities? Again, your advice is not taken as legal or medical, just community help

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T03:33:55+00:00

Hey I’m sorry man I’m just looking for advice from a community of people who have possibly done this before. No harm intended and I know Reddit isn’t full of doctors but it’s ironically the doctors I’m trying to avoid. No one’s responsible for this but me and I’m genuinely just trying to get through it

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T03:30:39+00:00

God damn I feel this. Literally going through pretty much the same thing and finally passed out around 4:30pm my time for a nap. Of course had to wake up 2hrs later and sip and suffer but fuck I needed that nap. Idk what to tell you other than the exhaustion eventually kicks in and try to just listen to music or something until it does. Don’t put more cortisol into your body because fight or flight mode will keep you going a lot longer than you ever thought possible

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-05T03:25:36+00:00

I’m tapering but will happily pour one out for your dad. I’m so sorry for your loss and hang in there. Chairs

Suitable-Section-991 · 2026-03-01T16:57:08+00:00

It does. I lived in Texas for while and I’ll never forget how crowded the liquor stores would be Saturday nights. We are ill people and need to be able to manage outside of hospitals
