Weed

okayhate it so much srs

A lot of drunks don't seem to care for the stuff (myself included).

Alcohol is no joke once you reach the addiction stage. Stopping cold turkey is dangerous and sometimes fatal.

Listen to this guy^ An expert on many things.History,Science,Medicine,Religion

The absolute best tip I can give as someone who has drank heavily for multiple years on end, and I mean multiple times per week for many years.

You can quit any time you want, you just have to have a desire to do it.

All this bs about withdrawl symptoms and medical stuff is a load of crap. thats stuff refers to down and out drunkards on skid row who drink a fifth of vodka straight on a hot day and eat stuff they found in a trash can. Then drink some more.

The real trick to quitting is to just do it and not tell anyone you are doing it. Others do not have your best interest at heart. They will try to sabotage you or mold the outcome to meet their needs. They do this because they like you the way you are. If you change, they basically feel they have to change as well. It would be easier in many cases if you stayed the same so they didnt have to change.

Same goes with getting fit, losing weight, all that sort of stuff.

Notice that you have tried a bunch of times and every one of those time you reached out to someone for help and look where it has gotten you.

Next time, just quietly drink put down the last drink , dont make a huge issue about it and move along. be a man and suffer in silence. Its really just a matter of finding something else to do so you dont get bored.

Good time to square away your diet and eat some veggies and the like. The added nutrients will be very good for your body.

No experience with tapering from alcohol, but if withdrawl is fukking your sleep, smoke that chit before bed. You may hate it, but it'll definitely knock you out at night.

Didn't we do this thread a month ago?

Stop drinking before 5 immediately, suck it up all day big boy, if you don't work get on your bike and ride, if you don't have a bike go for a 10 mile hike

after 5:00 have 1 per hour until bed time around 9, the physical activity will help you sleep eventually, taper 1 per day from here 5% beer not ipa



Ratfish out here at 8am asking how to taper, you got a long ass day in front of you

4 weeks sounds like such a dream come true and instantly reduces my anxiety

i gotta stop being moralistic about this

Agree with RLA.

My own additional thoughts are that you will probably want to taper in something like 3 day increments.

Like:
- day 1 through 3, 10 beers
- day 4 through 6, 9 beers

You might be able to start trying 2 day jumps if you feel comfortable.

I'd consider putting each day's worth in a separate grocery bag with the day or date on it that you will use it.

The easiest way to eat a chit sandwich is one bite at a time.

god damn

i wanna live in this world but instead i've been telling myself that i'm about to die so i can grab another

it's time to sufferevery part of it disgusts me but sleep wood be dialed afok, ok, i'm listening

if it's any consolation, physically ingesting any amount for the last few days has been so fkn revolting and difficult srs

maybe that's actually worse idk

4 weeks is terrible advice, you will think you are back under control half way through and abandon the taper if you even get that far

i wood posit that the potency of hangover sensations are directly related to how dangerous the exit is potentially

no data on this

Cold turkey, take some narcotic pain killers. Tons or water. Be fine in 48 hrs.

absolutely brutal if true

Gabapentin

Just smoke crack instead

Way more productive

Sucks that I know what this guy is talking about, but he's absolutely right. Your main concern is not getting hurt by withdrawing, DTs, all of that. Seems like tapering is working on it.

You are gonna have to sack up and accept that sleep is a luxury that you aren't provided for a good week or so. It is what it is. You aren't working, so when the naps do eventually come you can crash for a bit. Like he said, it might be 2 hours or so where you're not even sure you fell asleep.

I never did benzos or anything. But at those times where I had to detox myself a bit, I would lay down in bed, so tired, but be awake the whole night not able to sleep, night sweats, and by the time I feel like I'm about to sleep it's sunrise and I gotta work. Lol ****. ****in sucks bro. Even worse, when I did get some sleep, it was nothing but nightmares or eerie ass dreams that felt real.

I've only felt like I had to taper for like a day or two. So not sure if I've experienced what you are experiencing. But one of the worst things was the lack of sleep for days. But I knew I had to go through it because I drank like wild for days before.

Sorry brah, you'll make it. No pain no gain. Made me realize how important sleep is to a functioning body and mind. You can do this dog.

Edit: oh yeah, in between those tapering beers, you gotta force some water and food in that body of yours when you can. Put back in the nutrients that alcohol takes out. I know what can be pretty hard at first too. Alcohol kinda sucks dude. I honestly still drink here and there socially but I'm 36 and it's getting to be less and less worth it. I had my fun. Get yourself right man. Alcohol is now getting in the way of you smooching the world and everything it has to offer.

What’s the point of being sober?

Sober you’ll just be a 40 year old incel loser that sits at home and plays video games

That’s literally the rest of your life sober

Just drinkmaxx and live it up and if you die you die

How many drinks do you usually consume in a day?

ngl, when i made this thread, i wanted to read this the mostthere's no usually since i've only been doing this for a week or so but it's ramped up to 14 yesterday

yesterday morning i tried to go without and it was the worst chit ever

i'm deep

Nobody hustles more than a crackhead

Agreed plus they live forever

Definitely see an addiction specialist. Many will help you taper with Gabapentin. I take Gabapentin and it doesn't have many side effects other than it makes you sleepy, which is what you need.

no mental health advice from the inmates please

i took it in inpatient detox whenever that was and it worked, generally speaking

Go to a doctor/specialist. You're asking people for advice that don't know your particular situation, physical or mental triggers etc.

What kind of alcoholic are you that you get physical withdrawals you can't handle if you don't drink? What's the amount of alcohol you drink in a day?
