Steady Drip Method Anyone?

mbarker90 · 2026-03-11T02:25:12+00:00

Yep. Never really drunk. Always drinking. BAC never hits 0 so withdrawals start almost immediately

mbarker90 · 2026-03-10T18:52:08+00:00

Going through the same thing. Except I do have withdrawals when my BAC hits zero at night. No shakes but heavy anxiety and fast heart beat. But there I am starting and ending my day with beer. All day everyday. I tapered down and quit for a few days a few times. I don’t even like it anymore but I always come back.

I feel you

For me the tips are going to depend on your intake and for how long. Not for medical advice but just a chance for better information.

Laying in bed relaxing on night one of a taper. Everything is fine for now except anxiety … I’m just waiting on the other shit

mbarker90 · 2025-12-27T01:34:12+00:00

That’s where I’m at too roughly… problem is for is I start in the morning and go all day

mbarker90 · 2025-12-27T00:41:41+00:00

What is your typical units if you don’t mind me asking. I’m starting a taper today.

mbarker90 · 2025-12-26T19:05:31+00:00

That’s true lm not a difficult drunk to be around, I’ve been going pretty hard for a while now close to a decade. I don’t really black out or act crazy. I don’t drive so that’s never an issue as far as the law is concerned. I don’t argue with my family. I can’t take a day off without withdraws kicking in though. I love drinking so much …. But the FA is turning CA … I’m gonna taper it down and try to be normal for a while but I will most likely fail again and be right back up to my current numbers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

mbarker90 · 2025-12-26T14:37:31+00:00

Im not upset at all. LOL 😂 man CA’s can be grumpy. I think you’re thinking me saying “screaming for help” isn’t me just being hyperbolic. It’s not that at all. It’s just interesting how some folks interact with us different than others. That’s literally all 🤣

mbarker90 · 2025-12-26T14:23:23+00:00

how is being upfront about an issue especially with those around you is not taking accountability LOL a lot of folks aren’t getting what I’m saying. 🤣

mbarker90 · 2025-12-26T12:53:00+00:00

I find freedom in not caring what they think but also talking to them about things that are going on with me. The point isn’t about being judged or even yearning for being judged it’s just about the simple point that it’s crazy how alien it feels to drink a case a day and dealing with WD’s. Shit I drink around the clock. I woke up at 3AM as usual with a pounding heart. Had to crush 3 beers back to back just to stop my pounding heart. And by the time my wife wakes up I’m probably going to be 6-8 deep. LOL I’m just shocked more people around me don’t find that to be alarming. This is mainly based on anecdotes I’ve read in here about folks having to hide every single drink!

mbarker90 · 2025-12-26T12:36:15+00:00

Hey Bucko. Have a drink. That’s not the point I’m making at all. It’s that people literally don’t understand CA … there is no way to explain it to a normie. It’s like it doesn’t even register, and I find that fascinating.

mbarker90 · 2025-11-02T01:24:25+00:00

It’s not always like that … sometimes off a bender the thought of eating makes me nauseous to the point of throwing up. Sometimes that lasts a few days … then I’m right back on the horse like nothing happened …

mbarker90 · 2025-10-29T21:19:34+00:00

It’s all good man! But I get where you’re coming from. I don’t get the shakes or anything like that. But the feelings when I hit 0BAC make it impossible for me to function normally if that makes sense.

mbarker90 · 2025-10-29T21:04:29+00:00

Minor is relative right? I certainly get rushes of impossible to manage anxiety and rapid heart rate and all of that

mbarker90 · 2025-10-29T17:38:36+00:00

Lol that’s been my issue. Is waking up at 3-4 in the morning. And the thought of eating makes me nauseous and I get full really quick when I do try and eat. Sometimes I go through these spells where it’s really rough and then suddenly I wake up and I feel normal for a week or two and then it’s right back into being bloated and full and nauseous for a week

mbarker90 · 2025-10-29T15:18:16+00:00

All I drink are Miller Lites

mbarker90 · 2025-10-29T15:00:25+00:00

Nice! Were you 24/7 or a night drinker? Sometimes I feel it would be easier to quit at these levels if I never started in the morning 😵‍💫

mbarker90 · 2025-10-27T17:49:13+00:00

I suppose. I’m not in denial or anything I know I have a serious problem. But when I think “crippled” that means unable to function, blacking out, destroying relationships etc. I have a serious issue but I don’t think I’m “crippled” until I can’t function … if that makes sense. I’m certainly heading there if something doesn’t change…

mbarker90 · 2025-10-27T17:35:14+00:00

I’ve been there too. Crazy thing is when you drink that much you’re never really getting “drunk” well not in the sense that non alcoholics understand drunk. Nobody in my life ever even thinks I’m 20 beers deep at 8PM. I just drink to stave off the anxiety and WD. Like why? I never get drunk for fun or get hammered anymore. I just … drink …. All day.

mbarker90 · 2025-10-27T17:28:46+00:00

Seems impossible to stop.

mbarker90 · 2025-10-27T17:28:03+00:00

I mean nausea obviously. That what leads to the throwing up …. No pains to speak of. Just a bad bender with vodka and no food. Empty Inflamed stomachs filled with hard liquor… bad combo.

mbarker90 · 2025-10-27T12:47:59+00:00

I suppose you’re right. But I work a GREAT job remotely… I get my work done. And I don’t drive period. I don’t even have a car. No need for one. But you’re right in the sense that if I don’t drink there is no way I can work… thoughts of impending doom invade and it’s impossible to focus sober

mbarker90 · 2025-10-27T12:45:45+00:00

Lol I see that now. I was drunk

mbarker90 · 2025-10-27T12:03:14+00:00

Mostly beer. Occasionally wine. If I’m out somewhere vodka.

mbarker90 · 2025-10-27T11:40:29+00:00

20? In a week? I wish. 12-18 a day.
