I will be 29 this year. And I mix sometimes. And sometimes I oversleep or don't get enough sleep.

i think it might be that you don't get enough sleep. normally after i drink i try to get a workout and go in the steam room in the morning so i can sweat out all the toxins in my body.

OP I believe you just go to the point of no return and do not stop at your limit. I grab a couple of beers while studying, just all in how you take liquor. Also I cut way back on hard liquor

i agree with my man sub too. how hard do you normally go?

chichiloves5s · Feb 3, 2015

I'm way too generous and reckless while under the influence. From often waking up to a depleted bank account to normally completely blacking out with no memory of the previous evening I think I'm going to cut out alcohol as well. I'm approaching 30 :smile:

eek). Time to grow up.

I doubt I'll give up :pimp:

though

stay lurkin · Feb 3, 2015

Man I really appreciate everyone reaching out it helps a ton.

I am not sure how hard I go to be honest. I don't know how to really measure it but obviously I too hard for myself.

I just got out of rehab a month ago. I am 35 and now 64 days sober and in the middle of my 90 for 90. Alcohol is a terrible thing for your whole body. You might not have a problem but I did. If you can just give that **** up man. If you run into any problems have any questions or just need some one to talk to pm me I will give you my number. Alcohol ain't no joke man

how was it? who.sponsored u?

havelka44 · Feb 3, 2015

It wasn't to bad actually in rehab. But difficult when got out. A guy by the name of Andy from my home group is sponsoring me. Not a bad home group either only like 8 of us in their so pretty small

It's a combination of guilt and a chemical reaction. Alcohol robs your brain of the chemical which regulates mood.

Most drinkers are not alcoholics in that they're biologically dependent on alcohol, but binge drinking is seriously dangerous.

I'm off the sauce and feel great.

I mean, what is it? It's not just a AA meeting right? Do they chisel things into your head? Or chemically test you?

Yeah that guilt.

No man they are trying to help you build a structure to you life. Because you wouldn't believe the the stuff addicts lose or don't do or care about during our addiction it's crazy. So while at rehab they help you get those things back. Also help you detox so the with draws are a lot easier.

OP - I don't know if this applies to you but when I was drinking a lot, I was going through some rough patches in life. I learned that alcohol is only a temporary solution for whatever I needed to go through. It's a chemical induced formula paired with good times with friends and feeling lively. I would definitely run with the idea of exercising more or pick up a physical hobby like rock climbing, boxing, jiu jitsu, MMA, etc.

stay lurkin · Feb 3, 2015

Yeah the last few years of my life have been pretty rough and j am sure that all these things go together. I have been trying to keep my mind as clear as possible and have done a relatively good job but it is that one time I decide to drink or whatever that gets me. I mean it hits me really hard mentally.

stay lurkin · Feb 3, 2015

I don't know if this makes sense to everyone but every time I get drunk or do something I am not supposed to I feel my long terms goals slipping away from me. It is just messing with my mind and when I have to sit down and be discipline about something in particular it makes it very hard.

No need, helps you tolerate all the drunk people now :lol:

spamandsugar · Feb 4, 2015

Sounds like me op. I was like that before, you either control it or quit altogether. I controlled it, I wasn't about to give up drinking. Drinking wasnt the problem, control was. Or it might be different for you, I don't know I'm just sayin. Good luck to you op. And haha at a lot of us approaching that 30.

I've been there, late 20s. It made a lot of things worse. Just made me realize it was time to fall back.

titosshoestore · Feb 4, 2015

so is beer and hard liq = depressants or is it just hard liqs

mr marcus · Feb 4, 2015

i cut back hard liquor 4 years ago when I first found out I was having a kid on the way. I might drink hard liquor once a month max. I just drink some brews when I watch sports but I don't get "****** up"

I had a good run b/t 17-25 tho :lol:

I can't even handle liquor like I could then. Also doesn't help that I see a lot of people detoxing off alcohol and I would NEVER wanna be in that situation in life. Alcohol have those people lives all ****** up and the withdrawals can be pretty damn dangerous

im sayin, i try to avoid it at all costs. like scared to hit the bars, cause once the pitchers and shots flowing, im maxing out debit/credit card plus having others get rounds. plus the bottle in the car before we came. I drink once a weekend now. but even now trying to avoid that. i keep my nieces on my phone background and try to keep my goals in perspective, each night you go out blowing money you pushing out your goals another day/week.

Also i got 2 DUI's in 1 week back in 2010 and im still suffering from that ****. my recommendation to anyone is dont mess with it. period. its good times, but all it takes is that one bad time. not worth the gamble.

chichiloves5s · Feb 4, 2015

Had a bad day at work. Bought two bottles of champagne as coping mechanisms :smh:

I need help :frown:

georgescorewell · Feb 4, 2015

Switch to natural herbs to help you relax, and I'm not talking about trees either.

Chamomile tea, ginseng, passion flower, valerian root. There are a lot of natural remedies that can help you cope better.

St. John's Wort combats depression as well. Take 3 or so a day for a while and you'll probably feel better.

stay lurkin · Feb 5, 2015

^cant you become dependent on that stuff?

Generous and reckless huh?

Oh.

alcohol is a depressant. That's how it's supposed to make you feel. Also, you may not have experienced this yet in life, but as you get older you'll find that you can't do the things you once did. You might be able to play ball 8 hours a day when you're 18-24 years old. But you'll gradually notice that it takes longer to recover. And smaller collisions hurt you easier. The brain works the same way. You get more emotional, easier. You don't recover from drinking as fast. You'll take breakups harder as you get older. Sad truth of life man but just know, it's normal. And try and come to terms with it as soon as you can.

shenggg · Feb 5, 2015

Yeah 100% agree. From 2012 to 2013 , I go out at least 2-3 times a week. A pack of cigs a day. Plus bong rips sometimes. By the August of 2013. Every night was like I was getting a heart attack when sleeping alone. Evey single night was a nightmare for about 1 month. I seriously thought I was going to die. Then I quit all those. Took me more than a year to recover. Now I still get exhausted after running a few laps. Remember the days I could play ball the whole afternoon under the sun. My body has weakened so much with all the alcohol and tabacco I consumed. But the feeling after drinking really depends where and how. If I'm going out alone And drink I get depressed. If I was at a club with chicks or buddies. I get hyped as hell. But stay away from alcohol and tabacco. I'm only 22 and I feel like 42 sometimes. That's not good.
