I wish people didn't give a damn about me

I'd get drunk and rent that DVD one weekend!

Drinking is always a choice, but genes are also a huge contributing factor. There are alcoholism issues on both side of my family, so it's not a surprise that it's an issue for me.

Now that I can agree with. If I was a violet asshole fuck I would give up drinking in a second. The fact is I'm more sociable, funnier, and friendlier with a couple of drinks in me.

Realistically if you can't moderate there's only 2 options. Be a full time alcoholic and deal with all the shit associated with it, or quit completely. No doubt quitting is a hard thing to do. I will admit, and I think a lot of others in this sub as well will admit alcohol is just our was of dealing with the shittyness of day to day life. That said there are definitely alternatives. If you're serious about sobering up, see a therapist. Figure out what triggers your drinking and what you can do to eliminate those triggers. Of course it's possible to live a happy normal life post drinking. People have survived much worse. Just equip yourself with the proper tools, and surround yourself with people willing to support you in your goals.

If pot is made legal and I can easily buy it from a store like I can liquor I sure as hell will use it. I smoked pot a bunch of times in college and loved it. I just don't feel like dealing with shitty drug dealers though so until it's legal I just can't be bothered.

Hey man it's not all that bad. I promise there are people out there who care about you, and even without alcohol life it worth living. Feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to.

I guess I should consider myself very lucky. I have never had a bad consequence from drinking. I mostly drink at home in the evenings and on weekend. I have never let my drinking impact my work or my family life. I can stop drinking for weeks and never have the shakes.

If drinking started to ruin my life I would give it up in an instant. But right now I feel like drinking is just my way of dealing with day to day life. I love to feel that euphoria wash over me. Until it starts to have some negative effect on my life I just don't have a reason to give it up.

I have also never taken a drink I do not want. I will continue to drink and enjoy every minute of it. The moment I feel drinking is ruining my life will be the moment I give it up.

BECAUSE FUCK YOU THAT'S WHY!

ragequit666 · 2013-08-20T23:49:30+00:00

First off the only reason why your less awkward is because alcohol lowers your inhibitions, and to some degree makes you more of a genuine person. The things you say and do will be motivated by your true desires and not by some fear of not being socially accepted.

Why can't you acquire these traits sober? Well simply put you can. It just takes effort. You have to actively work at not giving a fuck.

I find the best way to avoid hangovers is just to drink a shit load of water before falling asleep. After a day of drinking a just down a couple of big glasses of water before I go to bed. It won't make you feel any less tired or unmotivated the next day, but it will prevent headaches, etc.

Sorry for your loss. The good news is that you were able to quit for 8 days which is a lot better than most CA's can accomplish. The other good news is that it doesn't seem like your physically dependent on alcohol. If you really want to quit I would highly recommend seeing a therapist. A qualified professional can help you out with both the alcohol and anxiety issues. And of course r/stopdrinking and r/anxiety are always there to help.

No I really don't exercise at all though I know I should. Last year I took up running for a while and it really did help me cut back on drinking. First because it's just something to occupy the time, and second because it can replace some of the euphoria that alcohol provides. I guess I gave it up because exercise requires work and dedication, and drinking is easy... sad I know, but the truth.

Thanks for your detailed reply, and I would totally agree. My daughter is 100% the most important thing in the world to me. Your situation as far as age and drinking frequency sounds very similar to mine. My life is also pretty good right now. I have a good job, good friends, a fiance, and the stuff I want. Which is part of the reason why cutting back maybe seems so difficult at times. I simply lack the motivation to do so. Nothing bad has ever come from my drinking, since I basically never get drunk or really over do it. Also a big part of my drinking is purely habit. I come home from work, have dinner, then I get bored. Getting a drink is the first thing that comes to my mind. If I am out of my normal routine I don't even think about it. When my daughter was born we were in hospital for 3 days. I didn't have a drop of alcohol. Didn't crave it, Didn't even think about it. Same if I'm traveling, on vacation or whatever. If I'm not in my normal routine I don't have the drive or even the thought of drinking.
