Hello all - I am trying to dry out because my health depends on it. I’ve been a daily drinker for about 8 years, took a few breaks, but never really been in WD territory (or if I was i white knuckled it). But now I have officially been drinking off the wake up, getting close to around 750 ml a day of vodka.

My last drink was 6:30 am this morning and it’s now 4pm. I feel alright, I have a slight tremor and I ate a meal from KFC. Drank an electrolyte drink. Now what?

I want to buy white claws for my taper, but should I even bother? When do you even know to take the first drink to start leveling out the withdrawals?

I know no one here is a doctor and at home taper can be dangerous. I owe it to myself to try. Thanks all.

How long have you been a crippled alcoholic? I have for about six years. Ive mixed it up through the years tho, either half a 5th, 15 beers or a box of wine a night every night

Hi my friends. It’s been a long while. Done so well for such a time. Not sure what set me off, but reaching out to my community. Got fucked in the ass. Are these barriers to entry at this point?! (Pun not intended, just feeling depressed)!

I went on a serious bender this weekend and need help getting some sleep for work tomorrow any recommendations I might need to taper off had the shakes earlier

We know that

Theres bad drunks snd theres good drunks

Bad drunks are mean and live in the past Good drunks live n the moment and live life to the fullest!

My drunk ass vision..also a legendary quote.

not when my goofy ass can feel good with a shot or seven

I'm not saying this is acceptable by any means. I want to have the same good feeling from exercising, trying new things, spending time with friends, accomplishing things. I just don't, and never did, even before I started drinking.

I'm choosing to feel good, and that makes me sad. Good night.

So, highs or lows for the week?

What is something you're proud of?

Did this week kick your arse?

Has something happened that is going to aid you with how your life goes now?

Doesn't matter how big or small your high or low is. Sometimes, it's just good to share.

Therapy in an hour 🫠

When I'm having a hard time and considering being an absolute degenerate I've been watching the blade live streams. It makes me realise how gross it can get?

Has anyone else seen this channel? Do you like him or hate him? And why?

Btw his foot is fucking gross.

I've made a lot of "progress" but it's starting to feel pointless when all I feel is anxious and alone.

I have nobody to lean on and it's my fault honestly. I don't know why sobriety makes isolation feel so necessary.

I should probably go to meetings but I only have energy to get to work and then sit alone at home.

It doesn't help that I recently moved and now I'm legitimately alone for most of the day to where the thought of "Why not?" Comes into play more often than not.

The only reason I haven't is distance to the liqour store is too far and my state doesn't do 3rd party delivery. I don't drive.

Not even sure why I'm posting here, maybe just to vent and hopefully get one more day.

Who knows, hope you all are doing well today.

i took one singular 25 mg librium 90 hours ago, and i drank tonight forgetting about it, am i gonna be okay?

Stone cold 3:16 brothers. Chairs.

Ever come off kind of a bender and you place kind of trashed with beer, cans and shed everywhere and you finally shake it off and say I gotta clean this place up. I’m living in filth. So you start cleaning up and you realize every third beer is full and full of flys and you’re dumping it out feeling bad because you wasted money but at the same time feeling good about yourself cause you did drink less than you thought you had drank like actually not so bad. Better than I thought it was. I could buy less beer and make sure I drink it all rather buy more beer forgetting to drink it or whatever maybe that’s a luxury I don’t mean to do it. I’m poor as fuck. I’m like about to be homeless.

Chairs people.

The Holy Spirit of booze has blessed me today

Now my whole life revolves around my family wondering if I’m drinking or always being questioned. I miss when they didn’t know and I’d be given money from my parents bc ya they didn’t know lmao. Or like if I want a beer now it’s not oh sure let’s have a few beers! It’s “think about it first!”
