to all prior alcoholics like marc

there is one catch 22 to me

if a heroin addict for say stops

they dont have to go out and see
"heroin on special" or "social herion"
commercials and shit

i think it would be hard for me to quit alcohol when i want to cause its everywhere.

its not like an illegal drug that you can hide from it.

so how do you deal with that IN YOUR FACE?

 

do you think you have a alcohol problem though?

If you do there is sooooo much support for people and there are ways of avoiding it - there are so many people out there who have beaten problems and only a few who havent

 

Easy.

Lots of things exist, from alcohol free bars, to even motorcycle clubs like Alternative MC who don't do drugs...

 

yes i know i have an alcohol problem
i dont wanna call myself an alcoholic
though some have

but i am again thinking about stopping

we went out to eat today for a lunch at a nice place and its all beer beer beer everywhere.

seems like it would be hard to quit with all those reminders, ya know?

i mean people that quit cocaine can go out to eat without that!

i dunno it just seems like a thing that would be hard for me to deal with

 

i LIKE gatherings and going out to eat but what if i couldnt do that cause the alcohol everywhere? i dunno it kinda scares me

 

im gonna wind up puttin your ass on ignore again.. man 6 weeks is all i can take of yer pathetic ass at a time without speakin my mind...

jeeze do ya ever have even remotley a clue??

 

Well if you do have a problem there is no point quitting until you are ready - even try and go to AA meetings and things - I know what you mean by the comment about people who do coke - but the key to it will be saying no - believe me my dad is a alcoholic - he is 'dry' now but he doesnt go into pubs and when we go for meals non of us drink and to tell you the truth that isnt hard at all. Even try and find some people who dont drink and start going out with them - or asking your friends not to drink around you - it might even do them a bit of good as well.

 

dude
dont start

its a serious question

i wanna know how i deal with alcohol being everywhere if i do stop
kay kay?
serious question

i really want someone like marc or anders to respond cause i really wanna know how to deal.

 

yeah but what if you like to go to nice restaurants and being at gatherings that you dont wanna ask people not to drink cause of you?

do i just not go.

and if not...
i just dont know how to handle it.

alcohol is everywhere. that is why i made my drug references.

alcohol is accepted and i dunno i think it would be hard.

 

and even that

how do i tell my in laws?

im kinda embarrased

 

Just tell them straight - im sure they will be shocked at first but once they think about it for a bit they will proberly support you alot.

Things always seem alot worse than they are - peoples reactions might just surprise you

And there is only one way of finding out and thats by telling them - but it depends on how long you want to be a heavy drinker for?

 

i love drinking.

LOVE IT

too much

but i cant stop when i start
and i keep getting in trouble cause it
my dad was an alcholic
still is
he's almost dead
i go thru withdrawl if i binge and stop
in rehab in may
my liver numbers were SLIGHTLY LOWERED
very slightly

but i know five more years
cirrohsis
girls cant handle what i drink

i wanna stop
but i like it
and i dont want aa

 

i would assume this was directed towards me..

i aint startin shit tis why im ponderin puttin ya back on ignore for a month or two..

youve heard mine an dillis thoughts for the last , well hers two,, i dunno how long i been listnin .,,, err readin yer shit..

face it yer fucked up in the head...

so quit complainin about it and go out an live yer fuckin life,, as psychotic an disfunctional as it is,, fuckin enjoy it an shut the fuck up..

you aint changin,,ya just cant.. so fuckin deal with it..

 

There must be a reason why you are drinking their normally is - being a alcoholic can run in families - but its up to the person if they think they are stronger than that. And its up to you if you to end up like you dad?

YOU have to know when to stop, when your ready, when you have support, when you can walk past a pub, wine shop etc. And not go in.

I know someone that drinks because she doesnt like her life - she doesnt like what she has become and i told her that unless she is magical she cant do anything to change herself but she can change what she thinks of herself - do you drink due to bordom?

 

after all,, isnt that what we all ultimately do anyway??

 

RE: yeah but what if you like to go to nice restaurants and being at gatherings that you dont wanna ask people not to drink cause of you?

Why would you have to ask others not to drink?

Just don't drink.

 

heroin has its own little advertisment that plays over n over in yer head till you die .....alcohol should be a lot easyer ta quit cause it sucks ....unfortunatly h doesnt .....it feels great ....

 

excuse double post , this bitch is soooo slow , think skips drunk or sompin .....

 

i started drinking cause

i was bored from the abuse in my life

now i just drink cause
it makes me numb
and it makes me feel good at times
and i dont wanna feel

 

so my question is

when its everywhere?

how do you deal
