I don't think I'll be in the mood to sober up until my food money is compromised tbh

I'm a no longer sober alcoholic. Drinking a beer right now. I got sober for three years after spending some time in AA. I really fucking hate drinking and focusing on how much it fucked my life and how much I hated it really helped me make it that long. Now I'm back to my old ways for a few months after hitting some hard times. Best advice I guess is to cold turkey quit EVERYTHING. Including weed. When I tried quitting before I just replaced alcohol with weed and then when I tried to lay off that just went straight back to alcohol. By quitting everything for about a year it wasn't a big deal to smoke weed every once in a while because I wasn't using it to replace alcohol. Of course not everyone is the same. Just quit everything and do some AA. Won't cost money and despite the Christ-faggotry the people there do want to see you succeed and will help out.

drinking now I feel ya
hmm I tried AA but I found the christ shit so insufferable but that was one group, I could try another. I think cold turkey is the way to go to just hope I don't get crazy withdraws like a seizure.

No I only drink occasionally.

In my country socialists used to abstentionists.

that's why I want to go sober, I hate myself drinking and being wasted all the time while fellow comrades are suffering. it's not right, plus for my own health, know for sure I lost a few years due to drinking and it pisses me off so fucking much

Depends I guess. There were a couple atheists at mine though the majority were Christfags seeing as I live int he southern US. I'd recommend putting up with the Christfags whatever the case. I didn't do the 12 steps or anything and I think that itself is less important than making a real commitment to yourself to quit and finding some healthier outlet for whatever pushes you to drink. Yeah, cold turkey might be an issue depending on how much you're drinking. I was drinking fairly large amounts of vodka or sometimes everclear, like a big bottle a day, but only got sick when I quit. Not a doctor so I don't really know. Maybe try to reduce the drinking somewhat if you can handle that.

Best of luck my man. The way I stay clean is by never ever drinking alone, I only drink socially, so when I go out with friends.
Parker Williams
I am, but a lot of people in my family are too, so that might explain that "maladaptive behavior" of mine quite a bit tbh.
The first real leftist that appealed to me was Guy Debord too, and I feel like his theory pushed me to get more hardcore when it comes to get fucked up and carefree during the nights in the city, which isn't too good for me.
And now I fell for the Nick Land meme, so I started experimenting with amphetamines when I can get hold of them
Bad advice fam. You can get seizures and delirium tremens if you drink a lot everyday, and if you do this repeatedly during your life, your withdrawals will get worse and worse over time (it's called kindling)
The best thing is to taper with benzos, alcohol or similar GABA agonists but it's fucking hard
Also, weed addiction > any downer addiction

There's a beer type with that name. It's pretty good.

My nigga. I don't know how Belgians are doing it, but their beers are always the best.

I've gotten my drinking somewhat under control but I still binge heavily at times, especially when I'm really anxious or depressed. I also have fallen into the trap of using other addictions to distract from your main addiction, I'm basically subbing exercise and pornography for alcohol at this point.
It's kind of a reddit aesthetic but this vid is a good primer on how addiction works

Dude fuck AA. I've never been but my father went for years and his stories just make it sound like a cult. It sucks cuz without the higher power horseshit it would be a great model for getting off of anything but the God part fucks it up tbh
Anthony Murphy
i really feel sorry for alkies because when that shit happens to you, either you keep drinking or you stop for good, and i wouldn't wish that on anyone. being an addict really is a lifetime commitment even if you quit.
Blake Allen
It is kind of cultish, but I think it helps. If there is a secular alternative I'd recommend it over AA, but it's the only group of that kind in my area.
Jordan Harris
nice gun but booze is not for me. only rarely.
Jace Robinson
who needs alchohol when you are addicted to painkillers
Camden Edwards
I'm trying to quit smoking so I've pretty much replaced it with booze
gonna go so buy some rn
Jace Sullivan
Start lifting. Once you did that you don't want to drink because that will ruin your gains. The best way to quit drinking is to do something that doesn't allow you to drink.

I am about to get drunk as fuck tonight, just like every payday.
So, you want to cut back on your liquor consumption, do you? Well, I have a system that works for me. The first thing that you do is to go to the liquor store (really!), and go to the whiskey section. Ignore the shit that you usually get. In fact, pretend that there is no shelf beneath the top shelf. Now browse the scotch selection. Take every bottle or box that has a number larger than "12" and read the back label. Try to imagine the taste.
Next, pick a scotch that looks exciting. Buy it. Yes, I know it costs more than a hundred dollars. The financial pain of this purchase is part of the point. If you do not have a proper glass for drinking scotch then buy one of those as well. Take your booze home and chill it. Put on a robe or smoking jacket and sit by the fireplace or in your recliner. Play some chill music.
Pour yourself a partial glass. Swirl it around to activate the aroma. Let it wet the rim. Put your nose in the glass, and inhale the smell. Try to identify the oak, the peat, and anything else. Take a sip. If it is too strong for your taste, add one ice cube–one ice cube only. Take another smell. Have another sip. Relax, and try to parse the complex flavors. Keep doing this until you are about a quarter of your way through the fifth.
A quarter of your way through the fifth? Oh shit! That bottle cost your entire booze budget! You are not going to have booze for the rest of the week at this rate. Better put it back in the fridge for tomorrow.
When tomorrow comes, do exactly what you did after you got home the night before. You are not really getting properly drunk, but goddamn is this nice. When your fifth is finally drained, go back to the liquor store when you are financially able. Repeat the entire process with a new kind of scotch. Note the differences in the smell and flavor, even in the way it makes you feel. When that bottle is done, do it again. You are going to have days where you do not drink, but you will get through them by thinking about how you are going to drink like a sir the next time you get paid. After a while you will discover that you are enjoying drinking more than ever without drinking any more. A while later you will realize that you have been controlling your alcoholism the entire time.
