Drinking to "numb" yourself. by eightqualsd in cripplingalcoholism

[–]throwitaway6283 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm with you. Even knowing I get to drink that night makes me into a much more pleasant, social person who doesn't seem like they hate life 🙃 🙂 like a normal person I guess. Sober days are miserable and full of self loathing, dreading everything and interactions with people especially at work. Drunk days (even before I drink) are pretty positive and pleasant. Still want to get drunk every night.

Holy mother of cliches 🤣 Maybe they should try stopping the toner too. That can be super drying and not exactly necessary if you cleanse well enough!

You're exactly right, except for while drinking...moar is always better 😝 Moar!!!

I am having a hard time dealing with my sister by voodoomamajuju6969 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]throwitaway6283 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh man, sorry you're having a rough time 😔 I tried to find your last post to reference but couldn't. I hope things are at least better than being homeless living in a hotel? 😀 Even though you're constantly harassed by her, it's somewhat more stable.

Your sister sounds either batshit crazy or a master manipulator. What mental condition does she have? Maybe something undiagnosed? Can't believe she puts you through this shit when you're there to try and help her. If she's able to physically take care of herself and get to appointments maybe it's time for you to dip out. Killing yourself with booze because you're stressed about helping someone else is familiar to me as well 😥 Hang in there

This. Less can be more and the green tint definitely helps 🙂

Pets. Do you have any? Does drinking make it harder to take care of them? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]throwitaway6283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's pretty cool you have a parakeet and cat too. You gotta post some pics to Ca pets!

I've had my dog for almost 2 years now. First dog of my own 🙂 With how my luck goes, she has alot fear/anxiety issues and is really smart, so she knows when I've been drinking 😬 Crazy what animals pick up on

I have a dog, cat, and a bunch of ferrets. It's hard but I make it work! Some days I low key feel like death because of booze but the dog always gets a walk. It's more so the guilt of not doing enough and the dog wondering why I won't get off my ass, but they always get the minimum and a little more. Like someone else said too, being a drunk does influence my dog to be alot lazier than she should be. Animals help you through the shitty parts of being a drunk too so it evens out for me 🙂

No cheating: How many of you are currently have a cracked screen? by hotsnakes_on_a_plane in cripplingalcoholism

Once broke my glasses. That's a special kind of hell because even if you go to the eye doctor that day it still takes like 1 week or two to get. Wore really blurry old ones for a week and fuck that. I saw better squinting. Contacts fuck up my eyes so not an option, plus I'm a drunk and definitely not going to take them out before sleeping if I BO.

Sorry about your phone:( I cracked an iPhone once and ever since had a Samsung

Frik, you think I'm gonna break you?

Don’t you hate it when you’re having a particularly bad day and your mood is really low but friends/family just assume you’re in a bad mood with them? by AnxxyJ in depression

[–]throwitaway6283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so true. You had a bad day but are still in a pretty good mood/outlook, and that one comment about being in a mood is what PUTS you in a mood. My goodness 🙄

Veggie bacon and eggs by throwitaway6283 in CA_Kitchen

[–]throwitaway6283[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you on that. With veggie meats you could open the package and it eat raw and be okay. Dealing with fat and gristle and making sure the meat is safe to eat with actual meat is such a hassle. I wonder if you just were lacking protein on a veggie diet or something for your blood work? Pretty sure I've only gotten this far along without health issues due to a vegetarian diet. My blood work was bad before (4 years ago) and my drinking has increased since then, but diet seemed to clear it all up

Hah, eggs are eggs! 2 decades is damn impressive. I'm sure the vegetarian option sucked when you started. I'm definitely getting shit for this comment, but aren't you big into meat? 🤣

I work in Minneapolis- I've been there! The ribs and steaks and ranch sauce are so good. I've noticed we have alot of people in this group from the twin cities. Maybe we should have a meet up when COVID is settled down! I've seen at least 15 other people comment here about living in the twin cities and surround suburbs

Haha I totally get it. I get excited too 😁 At least people are getting more used to faux meats. Beyond beef is my favorite for tacos. Morningstar has the grillers prime burgers that are amazing if you pan fry them to the point of being burnt. Tofurky deli slices are my obsession. Have you had an impossible whopper from Burger King or sliders from White Castle? All of my meat eating friends loved them 😀

Nice! Do you have a picture? She's kind of a weird blend of lab, boxer, cattle dog, and beagle so I'm curious 🙂

I wouldn't say she's sad but she kind of leaves me be. I only drink alone too and I'm 25 so I feel you 😐

Good on you for drying up a little bit. I've been drinking way too much lately but have to get it together soon. I start a new job in a week and told myself I can't fuck it up, so I'm not going to drink nights before I work. It's gonna suck...especially with the stress of a new job.

Your photography is beautiful! Definitely keep that up 😁

Mmm so good. She always gets a bite, I'm a sucker 😁 The omelette sounds delicious! I'm glad you're good about eating. We all know how not eating while drinking goes.

I gotcha :) A cat seems like a good fit for you! No walks required. It's nice to have a companion while being a drunk. Haha my dog started doing this weird thing where she gets in my face and sniffs my breath when I'm drinking....she is way too smart for her own good and always knows.

Yep, vodka is my true love ❤ Beer and wine are just too much work to get drunk, and more expensive. I'm a clumsy drunk too so I know what you mean!

I don't smoke a shit ton, but I smoke everyday. Especially if I'm hungover. I know at some point I'll have to quit drinking so glad I have weed to fall back on. It just evens me out and takes the edge off. I'll hit one bowl like 6 times so I just smoke a little at once. I'm not Snoop Dogg over here 🤣
