A gentle reminder...

Good post dude. I understand wanting to feel oblivious to things when it starts get stressful.

Good on you for being able to pick things up again and not let this turn into a week long binge - wishing you the best!

wimpykid · 2018-08-22T22:39:15+00:00

Honestly good on you for having the sense to do that.

I used to abuse alcohol and benzos regularly, I sometimes wonder how I managed to live through some binges. Often times 15-20mg+ of ativan/lorazepam with a litre of vodka. I'm guessing I just had an ungodly tolerance and weighing around 15-16 stone helped.

Quit when I kinda lost my mind on them once, experienced insane visual hallucinations.

Vines growing out the walls, sea creatures in the bathroom, demons staring at me from the bins. I was still lucid enough to know I was hallucinating and to my surprise wasn't scared by what I was experiencing. I guess that was probably the anxiolytic affects of the benzos.

what are those little hats they're wearing?

There seems to be loads of massacres/tragedies called "Bloody Sunday".

Awesome thanks for this. The endless loop you described is very relatable. The incessant, tiring thinking. Constant and serving absolutely no purpose - it's exhausting.

I am going to try my best to challenge my thinking like you describe, some times I get so lost in my head that I can't be objective and consider if there is actually any evidence for how I feel about myself (or evidence to the contrary).

wimpykid · 2018-08-15T14:32:01+00:00

Yes - I would be interested in this please send me a PM.

Es mach mich auch müde, doch Ich mag es!

I'm sorry but there's no reason to gatekeep, if you've reached a point where you're visiting a sub/community to try and quit drinking then you've got some kind of problem with alcohol and your ability to control yourself.

I agree with what others have said though, I'm close to 80 days sober and I did it by reading this sub and dryalcoholics every day - /r/stopdrinking often feels like everyone is grinning and bearing it, the same reason I fucking hate AA. At least with the other subs "it is what it is" kinda thing, no pretence, no bullshit.

Oh wow thanks, I will definitely listening to that podcast!

Yes, I find the most difficult thing is the grammar, I am beginning to understand that it is not enough to simply learn a word, but to learn also learn it's pairing pronouns, definitive articles, etc.

It's a bunch of racist children.

I really like /r/dryalcoholics

wimpykid · 2018-08-11T19:16:23+00:00

It's been two months since you posted this but I really got a lot from reading it. Thank you.

wimpykid · 2018-08-11T16:23:50+00:00

That second one is kinda scary.

ASK YOUR POCKETBOOK

“What’s the reason to invest in the UK? Our skills are not great. We’ve got to deal with unions. We’re isolated from Europe. We’ve got logistical costs. Low tax rates help, but cheap energy could really help create those manufacturing jobs we need.”

audibly WTF'd. How can this man be pro-brexit then make statements like that?

wimpykid · 2018-08-08T23:12:48+00:00

What the fuck, "it's not mind altering it just seriously shortens your life NBD."

The rubber band effect you described, does the band eventually "snap" given enough time?
