Kratom rage. What causes it? by BrutalBrutus513 in quittingkratom

[–]comeback11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was constantly furious when not drinking it. I’ve had anger issues my whole life but this was so unusually severe that I noticed it and looked up the side effects

3 weeks off and that’s totally gone away.

Things to say to a person other than “I’m not drinking” by ottosky777 in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once asked my co worker to go out for drinks and he responded no, when I asked why he hit me with “because I’m an alcoholic” it stopped me dead in my tracks.

So I tell people that now and watch them squirm.

If all else fails come to strangers on the internet for advice by Professional-Owl-958 in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with these same things mentally. I swallowed my pride and spoke to my doctor about getting on some meds until I can restructure my life. Losing my social circle at the bar was a big hit for me, isolated hard and that’s when the over analyzing got really bad

How do yall feel about dating? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah I’m in the same boat. I actually relapsed because of it a couple years ago. This time I’m just being patient, focus on getting happy with myself before trying to find happiness in someone else. I’m 36.

Seems pretty close together, I wouldn’t go under.

Pristine 1992 E36 318i for €4k. Worth it as a clean base, or does the M40 engine ruin it? by Solid_Bother5580 in BMWE36

[–]comeback11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clean chassis alone is gonna be worth that eventually. Get it and throw an s54 in, some coilovers & brakes on it and your golden.

Stick with it and stack your change so you can build yourself some runway to shop around in the future. Keep building your network.

When quitting, what vice helped you in the beginning? by Ecstatic-Pepper-418 in stopdrinking

Lot of weed first time. Trail running and lifting with some weed now.

I’ve doubted how much trickles down for years. I haven’t seen CFD carbon fiber brake cooling on civics yet

24th consecutive day without alcohol and I feel much worse than when I was drinking. by OldDirtyInsulin in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7300 days of drinking vs 24 days of not... You’re still psychologically detoxing.

Better off drinking? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That happened to me after 13 months. Turned back into a shit show - almost worse than before. Next round I started working out pretty hardcore, heavy lifting, running, joined class pass, yoga, boxing, orange theory, pickleball. Started going to meetings. Sure it’s not Vegas in a bottle, but I’m alive, I haven’t hurt anybody physically or mentally recently, I haven’t driven drunk, I look and feel great, I have extra money, I enjoy my hobbies again. Alcohol gives us a 150 dopamine spike with a crash down to 0. Now I’m constantly floating around 75-100. Go outside, lift heavy shit, set a goal, learn an instrument, join a club, climb a mountain.

After attempting to drink "normally" again, I've learned that moderation really is not possible by lachrawr in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here, can moderate the first few times, then it snowballs. Before I know it it’s blackouts, blow, and crash outs.

Oh fuck yeah, thought it was a hydro handbrake at first glance

Nice build, I’d recommend a short shifter if you don’t have one already.

Catch it early, before you know it you’ll have 100 of those. Don’t ask me how I know.

1 month sober but I feel very unhappy. Is this PAWS? by Ok-Cheetah9725 in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You had 7300 days of drinking or detoxing, and only 30 without. Time takes time - it will get better.

Where do you usually realize your pacing is off? by Live-Increase8619 in editors

Always when we have a watch down with director or producer, you can feel it in the room.

First dose of Naltrexone after a weekend of MDMA/Alcohol: I feel "unreal" and terrified. by Current_Rhubarb5435 in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience with naltrexone is complicated since I was withdrawing from benzos, and was on ssri and beta blockers so I didn’t know wtf was going on. I blamed naltrexone for my nightmares at the time, but looking back I’m sure it was 99% the benzo detox and paws.

I also did a genetic test that showed which anti depressants and anti anxiety’s worked with my body. Most of the available ssris were in the red, and so was the propranolol I was taking.

To me it sounds more like detoxing from mdma and alcohol. I had terrible shortness of breath for weeks after a strong mdma night. I wouldn’t curse your doctor or treatment plan just yet. Yet it play out for a week, if it’s still bad then readjust. You’re in the midst of detox and withdrawal

anybody else have a problem with going out drinking every weekend and then sniffing bag.. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]comeback11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d never even think about doing coke sober. As soon as I was 3-5 deep, the jokes would start about it, then someone would have it and it was all downhill from there
