@Bard we need to figure out a DnD game with @thedarkness05

i agree

What’s on the agenda today?

Isn’t there a national forest you can go to?

I mean there's tons of them

i don't know if going in a forest alone would really help me at this point

i'm back on the liquor and have been for about a week

Day drinking?

You know I drink like a fish so no judging

Thanks boys

Also @Bard its ok that you slipped, you just gotta get back on it and try again

basically I start at 4-5 and drink about 3/4 of a fifth, either blackout or fall asleep and whatever's left in the bottle I bought yesterday I drink in the morning and either fall asleep during the day or go into nervous breakdowns later in the day

i don't like admitting to people that my drinking is actually a very personal problem

@Bard well you got us, we'll help you if you need

The most I can suggest is push it to 5 and try not to do the morning excess, a shower beer or Bloody Mary or screwdriver is one thing, but catching an actual drunk that early is very bad for mental health

Source, it taking me 5 years to get a 4 year degree

Don’t just stop right away because DTs are bad

What’s the weather like there?

the symptoms of cold turkey sobriety always turn me away, and that's when it gets pretty scary sometimes

it's cold but clear

Fuck cold turkey

You have to ween yourself off/into better expressions of the habit

Source, kicking heroin*

I didn’t just go cold turkey I weened myself off over a week or 2

Yall got this shit

I cant say I have much experience, its hard to get alochol now and ive never been into drugs

i need to go to AA, but now I cannot, I can't talk to my parents about it, and I have no relationship to vent my problems and be truly honest with because my problem with alcohol took that away from me too

They have online AA meetings

@Bard there has to be some AA zoom chat or something

Yeah

there probably is

Or you can just talk to people here

I have a friend who used them for a while

hence why I am here

the self deprecation is real right now

You're more likely to get tough love than hugs and a cry sesh is here though

For if you need it

Oh I'm well aware. The truth of the matter is simply that I need to be a man and deal with my issues than complain and burden people on the internet with it.

Fuck that

I mean I still drink too much but I do it on my terms, I still have that alchy step of “looking forward to when I drink” but it’s only stressful if I’m bored ya know
