Anyone else here have a drinking problem? Am I just a pussy for not being able to stop. Every time I get in my car it's like it's on autopilot and drives me to the gas station and I don't even realize it until I'm already drinking.

feels good mane

No I drink and then pass out and wake up and be productive the next day rinse and repeat

Same, I workout in the mornings and then after that it's a blur.

define drinking problem

Can't not drink

Me too, 2020 made me develop bad habits.

Same, even though I was working 2 jobs the whole time.

I'm drunk and still hated that song.

just switch to the puffing the magic dragon

lol if u dont do both

You ain't a pussy it's just got a hold on your brain. It's addictive, your brain has been convinced that you need it like food or water.

I've seen people kick it or at least get it under control. It just takes one big burst of willpower and then the fortitude afterwards to keep going.

If you can stop for two weeks, you will notice the difference after. It's like waking up from a bad foggy dream.

I've tried, makes me too paranoid.

I occasionally have 3 week streaks without drinking. I feel so good it makes me wonder why I ever go back, but ultimately I always do.

kinda reminded me of this

I love drinking. It's everyone else that has the problem.

Bro ween is my favorite band, seen em 12 times.

Bruh, my favorite band ever. Nothing ever comes close.

I can't really disagree

You are the only one who IMO has a stronger username than me. Reps.

The first thing you need to understand is that you are lying right now. Not to us. You believe what you said so even though it is inaccurate, it isn’t a lie.

You are lying to yourself.

You make the decision to drink long before you go to the gas station. ****, long before you get in your car.

Pretending this is some type of magic warp in time is simply a transparent and obvious attempt at deflecting accountability and responsibility.

That being said, alcoholism (and addiction in general) is literal insanity.

People drink alcohol and use drugs long after what most people would consider a rock bottom. They are not ignorant about the negative consequences of their behavior, they feel it. At least until the next chemically induced dopamine rush.

Fat people know they are fat and they hate themselves for it.

Alcoholics know and understand they are self destructive to the point of indirect suicidal behavior, but the insanity helps us ignore it.

Denial is both one of the best and worst natural human tendencies that we exhibit as a species on a regular basis.

So stop being in denial and lying to yourself.

You choose to drink long before you get in the car to go get a drink. This is not an opinion or speculation. You will agree after being exposed to wording.

I appreciate simplicity. So make it simple. When you get in your car, say one of these two things out loud....

“I choosing to go get alcoholic beverages to drink”.

“I am choosing to not get an alcoholic beverage”.

Then do that thing.

If you say the second phrase, but then pretend to be in some type of delusional autonomous uncontrollable state, and find yourself in a gas station cooler, or swiping your card, say it again.

I am choosing to drink. I don’t have to. I could not do this right now. I am making the decision to do it. Because you are. And denying that is lying to yourself.

I strongly support you and your process towards sobriety, but it is your process, or lack of.

Be real with yourself bro.

You don’t black out at the gas station and you don’t black out the multiple hours before hand when you make the decision to do it.

Accept responsibility.

Personally I am much more forgiving and accepting of people who accept responsibility but still fail to meet whatever standard, than those who pretend meeting that standard was beyond their conscious decision making process.

My opinion doesn’t matter. I don’t matter. I hope this message does matter. It is not my message. It is a message.

Do with it what you will.

thats pathetic peter

Did it? Maybe, doubt it. If it did certainly the option I’ll choose is death. Making sure those responsible pay dearly for it.

I agree. I hate myself.

I have a pretty bad drinking problem rn. I want to have a drink but I'm all out of liquor.

TF is a “strong” username?

Moes Schrute.....
