In hindsight I believe that if I just drank beer and didn’t touch whiskey that I would have been fine .
I find that Gibsons finest just goes down like water and you overdue it .
Last spring my neighbour and I killed a 15 pack of beer each , then we drank a 60 of whiskey.
45 drinks at a time may be hard for your body to absorb
I saw a guy at the gas station one time buying beer wearing a shirt that said "the liver is evil and must be punished"

Well let's wait and see. Just like with this thread. I tend to do that exact opposite of what I claim.

Some young dude approached me in my pool a few weeks ago, said I had his dream physique (I cringed bc I’m twink). Started asking how long does it take to achieve , what routine to do etc. said he was an alcoholic and had been sober for 2 months so far which he was extremely proud of

Never saw him again, don’t know whether he slipped up but he seemed sincere af - like he wanted to quit for good

I think if you can make it to the 2-3 month mark you’re probably doing good af.

Not sure how long long piram has been clean.

If you make it a month I’ll be mirin hard

2-3 months is a good marker. I've done that before so I know I can do it again. I should be able to lean out a bit while still making bench gains if I don't drink.

Do it brah. See how far you can get. You get the benefit of gym gains, better health, money saved etc

Aim for 3 months and if you reach that shoot for 6 and then after that you’re out of the routine pretty much

If I can get leaner and still improve my bench for now then I could fat max to 4 plates. I'm kinda too fat already that I really shouldn't get any fatter.

I know but I can't just rely on getting fatter forever. I'm meant to be a twink so gaining lard is difficult at a certain point for me.

My dad was an alcoholic and would drink a whole case of beer every day. Felt like chit all the time, not even comprehending what's going on around you, would get shakes/sweats if he had to go a little while without drinking. High blood pressure and organs starting to fail in 50s

Mind is blown how anyone can do that to themselves


OP install a breathalyzer on your computer so it won't let you misc while over the limit. It's the only way to stop
Best lifts:
Bench press: 315x5
Squat: 465x1
Strict press: 205x5
Deadlift: 405x13 (conv tap'n'go with straps)

There’s so many good ones out there you could sink hours into if I ever broke up and didn’t care about sex anymore or being a normie I could literally game for 14 hours a day and only take breaks to lift and do cardio

Lol, maybe if you're drinking a couple bottles of whiskey a day. It's truly pathetic if you're at the point where you can't quit cold turkey without medical supervision.

Amazon is full of woke liberal results. Cant be trusted.
I was trolling on the dose.
OP buy a small amount, take 4g and see if you want to drink while on it. If you do, you're fked. If you don't, just take enough per day to eliminate that craving. Don't let it get out of control

It's not an opiate. It just binds to some of the same receptors. People use it to come off of heroin etc so how bad can it be if a H junky can turn his life around using kratom.
OP try it and be your own judge don't listen to this guy who gets drunk and smokes 50 cigs a day just to cope
