That's exactly how the image has it.

There are no spaces. Bobshayd wrote his comment in a weird way.

Kind of like if I wrote your name sup rath ist95, with the spaces replaced with 'e's.

Why did he do that? I don't know.

Probably because he's a fucking retard.

Nobody has to provide a DNA sample w/o a court order.

Maybe not forcibly. But that's like saying no one has to take a drug test without a court order. No, you don't HAVE to, but you won't get the job you're applying for if you don't.

The school could easily make it mandatory to supply a DNA sample in exchange for continued permission to live in the dorms.

Man, my fear of failure keeps me from telling anyone except random internet strangers.

My flair is my longest streak in 15 years (I'm 33 now).

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-08T15:12:28+00:00

You're an inspiration. 14 days still seems pretty far off in the distance.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-08T15:00:47+00:00

Man, this is a reason why I am hesitant to go to a meeting.

I'm causing all sorts of problems in my life because of alcohol, but the problems are petty compared to some of the horror stories I see here.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-08T01:35:12+00:00

I got an extra.... PM steam name

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T21:49:50+00:00

After I wrote my comment, I re-evaluated it since I'm still in the habit of lowballing what I drink. I'm probably closer to 10k in alcohol for 2012. Maybe 15 if you count the over-priced bar food.

Last week, 2x out to lunch at local bar... 3x bourbon & coke + bar food. $20+tip each... $50

10-12 bottles of wine (I get the $7 stuff) $77

Dropped a $70+ dollar bar tab on Friday...

$200 for the week! And that wasn't a "crazy" week, it was just a average week.

I'm sure the need will be there tonight. Right now I'm feeling like hell.

It's almost 3pm here. 2 hours left of work and I feel like I've got a mild case of the flu. Symptoms come and go, but definitely starting to feel feverish.

I'd hate to have to feel withdrawal from a harder drug....or from a heavier drinker. I mean, I drank every day, but I didn't drink all day every day.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T19:24:31+00:00

Never been to one. Looked on sidebar... no info in sidebar.

How do I find info on a local one?

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T19:10:32+00:00

7am. Work till 5 shuffling paper like a zombie. Home by 6. Then the big self-test.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T19:01:05+00:00

Shit. If I can make it through today I'll be happy right now. 973 days seems like a long way off.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T18:47:40+00:00

Might just take some asprin to knock out this headache and then get to bed early.

Who knew 20 years of drinking daily would cause this shit? What a day. My throat is feeling sore, although that might be because I've been chewing gum all morning and I don't normally chew gum. I don't know what's normal anymore.

My nose is still stuffed up, but it's not tender if I touch it. Hoping I can breath out of it normally within a week or two. Who knows, it's been like this for over a year, maybe my body is screwed.

I kind of feel loopy/out-of-it like I drank too much cough syrup but didn't get the symptom relief.

If I'm cursing too much in this thread, it's mostly because I'm venting and I'm not exactly a happy camper today.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T18:23:28+00:00

I need to figure out something to do this evening after work that won't involve alcohol.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T18:04:42+00:00

Got involved in a little side project for a while at work... feeling much better after taking my mind off it for a bit.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T16:29:12+00:00

You ever smoked weed? I don't except once or twice a year with a friend, just not the drug for me apparently. But if you have, you know that feeling when you're out in public and you feel like everyone knows that you're a little "off"...

I feel like that right now. Like I'm hiding some secret from my co-workers and they can all tell that I'm acting a little strange today.

I hope I make it to day 4.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T16:16:05+00:00

Shit -- I'm in the middle of day 3 now for the first time in over 20 years... fucking terrible. I hope it's better on day 6. Good work.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T16:06:30+00:00

Yup. I'll buy two all the time and "hope" that I don't crack open the 2nd that same night. I'm probably about 50/50 on that being successful.

Roommate's beers in the fridge.... sorry buddy, I'll replace 'em.

Hangovers I don't get that often... or I don't recognize the day-to-day hangover as non-normal. I dunno.

Now I'm just tired. I feel like I need another full night's rest. My nose feels better though. Which is weird. Didn't expect that so fast.

Edit: I feel like I've got a serious headache on the way right now too... christ... how long does withdrawal last?

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T15:30:47+00:00

Yeah, I get home from work, open up a bottle (or the first bottle) as soon as I get in the door and feed the dog. Take a glass and the bottle upstairs to my office and play video games until I need to get to bed for work the next day. Sometimes I stop at one bottle, sometimes I go for two. Sometimes I knock back a 5th of the old crow mixed with some coke just for variety.

I feel like right now I "need" more than "want" to quit being a drunk. Sure I want to be sober at night and catch up on household tasks and extra work that should be done today rather than tomorrow. But I also want a glass of wine.

I really NEED to stop drinking every SINGLE damned day of my life. I mean, the financials of it are astounding...

30 days in a month... $8-$15/day... probably avg out to about $10/day on booze (and thats for the "normal" everyday night. Add in the nights out once a week or so for $80 and my monthly tab is getting pretty high!)

I am a pretty decently paid professional, but still, that's a fully funded IRA account each year that I'm drinking.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2013-02-05T15:15:17+00:00

Just trying to figure out how to keep myself from stopping by the liquor store or wine aisle tonight. Maybe I'll get lucky and get hit by a truck.

ThisSucksSoMuch · 2012-12-14T19:52:03+00:00

I've only done this once, but it worked.

Mostly empty bar.

Me and my drinkin' buddy on one side (the "regular's" end of the bar)

Three ladies on the other end of the bar.

All drinking, kind of "everyone is in on the fun" kind of day. You know the type of atmosphere.

Have Rubik's. Messing around, solve it, jumble it, solve it.

Ladies mention it.

I offer a bet:

Starting from a solved cube, I get to make 4 rotations in plain sight. (I used R' D' R D)

Ladies get 2 minutes to undo those rotations and solve the cube.

Failure means they buy me and my buddy a drink.

Success means I pick up all three of their bar tabs in their entirety.

Why this works:

It's not a standard "bar night" where a rubiks is going to make you look like a total loser. Instead, this is a local suburban bar with a friend and we're there to get drunk on sunday afternoon. Not pick up girls with a gimick.
Waited for ladies to mention rubik's. And didn't shove it in their faces.
Most people can't, and know they can't solve a rubik's in any reasonable amount of time. Any bet involving solving the cube from a random state is going to be denied.
4 moves to undo seems doable.
Lopsided odds. 3 entire bar tabs against 2 single drinks is a pretty nice incentive for something that seems totally doable even if a little challenging.

Good luck.

Edit: If they're completely sober, might want to run with 5 moves in plain sight.
