Have any of you fucks gotten sober?

I'm not talking about the Norton/Kelly (I didn't like how I acted when I was drunk) sober. I wanna hear from the people who loved drinking for years and somehow quit. I don't know what's going on. Ciggy time

Go smoke another carton of Marlboros, you fucking hoosier.

Will do

I used to get drunk on a nightly basis. I cant explain what happened, I just got tired of it.

I still drink on occasion, but it just isnt fun anymore.

That kcsgay dude you were arguing with yesterday deleted his account.

Yeah I saw. Dude went insane, I said something bad about a stern staffer and he went through every comment I've ever made.

I make fun of people on the amiugly sub, he took one where I made fun of a 16 year olds moles and said I was a pedophile. I called him a faggot, he got really pissed and started commenting after everything I did. Then he deleted like a 5 year old account.

You did the HowardStern Sub a favor! Much appreciated.

You are quite welcome. How old was his account, it had to of been a couple years.

I don't think his account was older than a year actually. He will just make a new one.

I'm sure, I don't get why he deleted it.

He probably realized he had a few gems of his own in his post history and burnt the whole thing before you had a chance to stoop to his level.

I wasnt going to waste time looking through his post industry. His autism was greater than mine.

I've been banned from a few subs when the mod looks through my post history and sees some of the horrific shit I post here, but at least they're just weird cunts that no I don't belong in their sub and are looking to ban me. Digging in a redditor's post history is just weird otherwise.

Fuck I better not comment in that sub. Word to the wise.

I'm banned from Hapas too. I wonder how many of us are because of that Ku thread. I assumed I was in OnA didn't even realize I was in Hapas until I was banned and a mod sent me an angry message.

I'm sure it was the same mod, he's a sensitive little cunt. Claims to fight racism wherever he sees it, talks shit about anyone who doesn't have a drop of Asian. He sums up the whole sub nicely, they wish they were as cool as black or as socially blessed as whites so they created a little pocket of the internet where they can pretend to be both.

Holy shit that could be the gayest sub

There was a post there that was dead serious claiming the Kung Fu movies influenced breakdancing. These delusional fucks seriously are trying to claim breakdancing from the blacks.

He's the fucking worst. He's forever on the Stern sub looking for attention. Job well done

Sounds like the behavior of a drunk

Yeah I've done stupid shit like that when tanked up. It never began at 10 am though.

shit there was a guy on a 3 year old account who did this exact same shit here a couple months ago. he was starting elaborate arguments and I called him on it being an alt and he went nuts, looking through my comment history and using made up slams that he prob used in prior arguments since he had nothing on me besides the 3 subs I post in. I wish i could have seen that throwdown that triggered him to delete his alt. I think the alt had "pork" its name.

I drank in excess for decades. Not like Norton shit. I bought gas station coffee cups in bulk, would fill them with whiskey and bring them with me everywhere. Driving, in class when i was getting my degree, just everywhere no matter how bad the idea. I'd drink in my car at lunch break. I'm sure I've done irreparable damage. Anyways, I'm sober now. Been a couple years. I'm not one of those freaks who flips out if they sniff a beer. I buy a sixpack a couple times a year, so I'm not militant. But yeah, I had to stop for the more part or bad shit was going to happen. Good timing, too, I was in an accident with a fatality a few years back and had I been drinking or had alcohol in the car at that time, my ass would be behind bars.

I'm worried that I'm going to have to face the facts and stop myself here soon. I don't wanna, though.

I don't want to either. It's the only thing I look forward to.

Dude it will happen. My body was shutting down on me. I wish I could drink more than anything but it's become apparent I just can't. I've been sober 4 months and there's absolutely no way I would have believed that 5 months ago.

Went to rehab now i'm in an outpatient program lol. I don't really do the 12 steps bullshit that they force on us and I like to think I'll be able to drink like a normal person one day... I've been sober 11 months and it's pretty gay honestly

Fuck that!.. That's impressive dude! I'm jealous

I did the same thing, minus the rehab. I was out of control. Coming home from work at 4 and started drinking until I passed out. On the weekends I would wake up early, 5 or so, and start making vodka drinks until I'd pass out, and repeat the process throughout the day. So, one day I decided I need to fix this. I went into a facility to dry out for about 4 days. My goal was not to quit forever, but just get me off the path I was currently on. I still drink every night, but I don't get drunk. I've taken week long breaks here and there, but found out that I really do love my 3 drinks a night and probably will for the rest of my life.

I don't make drinking a priority anymore. I do ti when all my chores and working out is done.

i call bullshit on his username

drank/drugged almost every other day since I was 16 got to 27 now and I haven't had a drink or drug in 6 months. I've been arrested several times, flipped two cars and almost ODed was my wake up all.

That's fucking amazing man! Congrats. I can't make it more than 1 week sober.

you have to care about yourself and life. find a purpose and take it day to day. I couldn't believe how much I really didn't like myself but I never regret not drinking. are you older or younger than me?

If you're Vic Henley's sister I'm younger. Part of the problem with me is I don't care. My plan is to drink until my body can't take it anymore and then I will opt out.

I feel for you brother, trust me I still feel that worthless self-loathing haterd for myself hourly sometimes (that's why I shitpost). How you see the world is a reflection on how you see yourself. Start looking for the beauty in it and it'll work itself out. Ronnie Bs got my fav outlooks on it.

Yea, Ronnie B is great. I'm just drunk venting. Thanks for your input.

just take it easy on yourself cause no one else will, I promise you I was/still a hopeless fuck but it gets better if you care

If you're a Ronnie B fan, you might want to send him an email at [email protected]. Callers have said he's really helpful. If you are sincere (and not a dick) I bet he will write back. He may take a while to get back to you, but it can't hurt to write and ask for some advice.

Are you serious? I feel like doing this but replying to fan emails seems so unlike Ron's radio persona that I think you're making a joke. Give me the skinny buster.

I'm serious. That's the email address that took over for [email protected]. Just don't be a dick and "act like a person" if you're going to write-in.

flipped two cars

Fucking muscle-man over here.

by muscle you mean dipshit

how do you almost od

well i had a close incident on liquid hydrocodone and Xanax in my early twenties woke up and I believed my heart stopped for a time. Didn't learn my lesson 8 months ago after a 3 day binder on coke/mdma and finishing it off with smoking heroin collapsed and woke up in bathroom in my piss/shit and throw up took me almost a week to before I could function.

switched to prescription drugs

Kratom?

Benzo sleeping pills until I pass out. Takes care of the urge to drink

worse withdraw ever when I stopped, worse than pain pills or coke

True. You should probably quit when you start feeling sick in the daytime.

I had a friend limit me to one a day to combat the shakes. Also som ritalin-variant in the morning gets you sobered up and focused on other things

My bro was on heroin and he said benzo w/d's were worse mentally, I believe it

I've never did heroin that much, I preferred oxies but I had no problem going there but it was a hand full of times. It felt too good

Sobriety is for faggots.

Guilty as charged

I'm sober multiple times a week thank you very much.

Who did you kill?

A guy on his way to work. My tire blew, there was nothing I could do about it, but just a year prior, I would not have blown a clear breathalyzer.

Tss, yeah you'd have probably blown a peckah!

his tire blew... HE NEEDED DA MONEY! OHHHHH!!!!!

rip

What kind of rig were you driving?

I'm not a trucker

What kind of vehicle blows a tire and makes you completely lose control?

Go fuck yourself, buddy. I was sharing something with the group, I'm not interested in how well you understand the situation.

Well now share what kind of vehicle completely loses control from a blown tire. Doesn't make much sense unless you're a Philippino three-wheeled jitny driver or something.

christ, what a story.

tell us more.

Cough up the story there friendo.

Cool you named your account after your kid though.

"In an accident with a fatality"

Lol, yeah. Not gonna fly. Lay it out faggot

Instead of the interesting story can you interview a wwe star?

When I was 11 years old, but now I feverishly masturbate on a constant basis to trannys like a rabid rodent. I just know if I touched drugs or alcohol again it would just be horrible, I just know even though I quit it all so long ago

I pissed my pants at a drinking party when I was 14 which led me down a trail of despair and disrepair which included drinking every day along with the biweekly marijuana cigarette that was until the suicide attempt at 14.2. It's been 27.85 years and if I smell an O'Douls I will throw myself off a bridge after a brief stay in San Francisco.

Listening to Soder, Luis and List get sober on ykwd helped me quit drinking. I'm only 24 though and I'll do anything but booze and needles. For some reason I just can't handle my alcohol.

they goyt sober years ago

I know. Now they're all way more successful, funny and happy.

not in their social lives

I quit for one month every year just to keep myself in check.

When I get really drunk I almost always regret how I act, but I fucking love drinking because it's worth it. I might say some weird shit or grab a couple girls asses and they'll call me a creep, but I'm a young dude and I don't care. Young guys do stupid shit when they drink but half of it is fucking hilarious to look back on and if you aren't a complete weirdo you'll cut it out when you get older. Guys like Jimmy are such weirdos. You did weird shit when you drank at age 17? No shit, just learn from it and enjoy your life you faggot.

Same as this guy. I always regret stuff I do when I'm drunk but I still do it every weekend. I drink once or twice a week but it's heavy binge drinking till I pass out. I'm 30, have been doing it since 14. Don't know if it's a problem or not, doesn't seem that bad. I'm certainly not an addict.

I quit soda does that count?

I reme-...I remember.

I just got a dui a couple days ago. It's the worst feeling in the world. I'm going to do everything I can to never drink again.

Just thank Xenu that you didn't kill anyone.

someone sold me 2x litre bottle vodka, cheap, I've lost bank card & phone ... feeling crap & sobriety is fast approaching, hang in there bro

Why on earth would I do that?

opiates are the shit dawg

I drank like about 3 liters of liquor and a case of beer a week for about 5 years and quit almost 3 months ago. Quit cigarettes too, almost two years ago now smoked a pack a day for about 6 years. It's ok, i feel a lot better than when I was a stupid drunk. Wish I could drink even semi-normal but i was putting away 15+ drinks every time i drank.

I quit seven years ago. All or nothing personality. All becomes exhausting after a while. One glass of wine with dinner? Impossible. Didn't like drinking with others, because they could cut themselves off when I was just getting started. Get me behind closed doors with a bottle of cheap liquor and my satellite radio; the outside world can take a rain check. So many intoxicated nights listening to xm 202 replays and playing Call of Duty. I stopped probably for good when I started a new job and wanted to go in with a clear head. Build up enough sober days and eventually you don't miss it. I quit weed several years before booze because it started inducing panic. Don't know how you damn kids these days handle these exotic strains! Will never fuck with painkillers if I can help it, barring a big-time physical ailment. The idea of so swift a delivery mechanism to getting messed up freaks me out. Anyway, good luck to anyone who wants to clean up! Do what you must.

Never got addicted to booze, I always felt there were better drugs to waste your time on (acid and the like).

That said, I did have an issue with sedatives and the trick for withdrawing from any GABA agonist is to switch to a drug with a longer half-life and slowly ween yourself off.

In the case of alcohol, I think there is some promising research in switching to Baclofen and weening off that.

Usually, however, it's safe to cold-turky from booze so long as you're not SERIOUSLY physically addicted.

It simply takes will power. I'd stop drinking right before a long weekend so that the first few sleepless nights don't fuck with your work performance.

Also, start exercising. No lie, it helps speed the healing process via numerous mechanisms I don't care to explain.

Actually, definitely ask your doctor about baclofen.

This study showed tremendous results in reducing cravings and abstaining while using it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3540966/

Also, there are other pharmaceutical interventions for alcohol addiction but I don't remember the names.

One is an opioid receptor antagonist that decreases the pleasure you get from booze, and the other makes you sick as fuck whenever you drink on it, because it inhibits the enzyme which breaks down acetyl-aldehyde, a metabolic by-product of ethanol.

Funny enough, the reason many asians can't tolerate alcohol is because they have a polymorphisms which naturally lower the amount of this particular enzyme in their blood

My cousin was on the opioid that makes you sick, doctor prescribed. He was off it when he died. Fucked up.

I like Stanhope but nobody should take life advice from him, especially not when it comes to controlling addiction.

Get hooked on pnenibut? Ive taken it like 6 times in 3 weeks and was already getting shitty detox sleep. Fuck that stuff.

Nah, I've heard phenibut is nasty though. For me it was etizolam and then klonopin. But I did a shitty taper and stopped before I should've

Stopped drinking for about a month now (down from 10-15 drinks every day). I still smoke weed though.

Gotta have something. I honestly don't know how people go through life 100% sober. Thank god for weed.

I stopped for three months in September. I was drinking everyday on top of taking two or three bars plus whatever else I could find. Then a close friend I know died from oxys and benzos and decided to clean up my act. Eventually I went back to drinking but only one or two times a week. Im just kind of bored with booze. It just makes me really want other drugs

I took off 2 weeks of work starting May 1st.

Gonna go cold turkey off a long Oxy/suboxone binge and I'm hoping I go back to work in two weeks feeling human.

Sucks!!

Good luck man, I remember those days

Good luck. I'm going to be tapering off the booze this week and will be starting around the same time. It's gonna suck!

I quit cold turkey for New Years. I was about to become a father for the first time, was drinking way too much prior to 2017, usually to excess. whenever I would go out with my friends i didn't get home until 4 or 5 am. My days off would be XBOX or sitting by the pool with a bottle of rum & coke on ice. It started to feel like I needed to drink whenever I was out. That, and I was out of work for a little bit and happy hour began to start earlier and earlier. I didn't want my daughter's earliest memory of me being hammered. That and a recent doctors visit showed I had done some damage to my liver. Not irreparable, thankfully. Now I don't even want to drink, I'm giving my unopened bottles away as birthday gifts, etc. I'm gonna take about a year off & see where I stand.

I stopped when it got to the point where I'd feel demons stabbing every inch of my body after 3 hours without a drink. Feeling like I was bleeding internally, not being able to breathe or sleep, hallucinations, waking up covered in blood. not fun! Eating more than once a day is great and not being full of estrogen is increasing my bloodlust in preparation for WW3/race war 1, whichever comes first.

damn this thread is like some kind of hbo doc from the 90s

I've had a few threads like this on here, as I'm an alcoholic. Lost probably 400k in work and a gf/dog/car/apartment due to booze. Most recently found my cousin dead, but he had a heart defect that actually killed him, with a bunch of anti-anxiety and vodka bottles throughout his apartment. That was on the 5th of this month. I've gotten drunk 5 times since. It doesn't sound like much, but that's actually really good for me. I told myself that I will take small steps at a time, and it seems to be working. I've decided to throw myself back into work and just stay busy as much as possible.

Yup, I'm in the same boat. Been drinking daily for the last 10 years. Lost my job, relationships, all of my life savings intended to buy a house and 80% of my 401k because of it. Drinking just 5 times in the last 3 weeks is huge! Congrats

How do you lose your life savings by drinking? I seriously don't get it and I'm a massive boozer.

Cause I'm an idiot. When I lost my job I just sat on my couch and drank and drank never looking for work until my money started to run out.

I can easily see myself doing that. I have no ambition at all and my work is the only thing that gets me up in the day. My personal life is terrible and I hate every minute I'm at home. I hate myself and I want to die.

I'm dialing it back, I had 3 bottles of whiskey over the weekend and I enjoyed none of it. It's just not fun anymore. I was reading more about neurobiology and neural pathways and realizing all the triggers to drink are mundane things and you only snap to them like a fucking dog receiving a command, not because you actually desire it. I'm just now noticing that, like when I quit smoking, all my use of it was triggered by dumb routine shit so it really seems pathological and hoarder-ish when it's explained like that.

I've noticed the same thing. If I go a night without drinking, the evening feels incomplete, but I'm certain that would feel like the 'new normal' soon. And the weight gain is just getting fucking ridiculous, I've put on over fifty pounds in five years. It's not like my life is spinning out of control, it's more mundane than that, drinking isn't entertaining enough to accept being THIS overweight.

reading more about neurobiology and neural pathways

This sounds very interesting. Would you happen to have any book recommendations on that subject?

Here's the one I had in my mind when I brought it up, but there's more like it out there. He uses cocaine as an example but it's for all addiction. Maybe even someone like Sam Harris may have some, he's into neurobiology too.

11 days clean from oxy. Prob gonna celebrate with oxy.

Should take one for all the days you quit now that you have a stash saved up. Down it with whiskey, cocoa emperor and heroine. At the same time from the same syringe. You've earned it.

I should except I don't have a stash. I have to buy it from some blonde chick in the suburbs just like everyone else.

I just get it from my kids. They're underage so if they're caught it's no big deal and I don't have to drive around town or tracking down a dealer. Plus they don't cross me anymore after what happened to their older brother.

LOL an opiate "stash". Conserving isn't a characteristic of opiate users

Haha wel he said he had quit for 11 days. That's 11 days worth of opiates out there somewhere that I'd have gotten my hands on to celebrate my sobriety with

Fuck am I glad those days are behind me. Shit was so fucking exhausting. Went from living at my parents hustling all day to keep from being sick to a nice apt in city of Chicago and just under 6 figure a year salary in the 3 years since I quit.

Glad I don't have to deal with those fucking flaky shitbag dealers anymore. Just sittin in your car for hours fucking hoping they'll pull up bc the dope sickness is upon you! haha good times

You're 300 percent right. I think half the reason I've gone this long without using is I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of them not showing. Getting my hopes up for nothing just to feel like absolute garbage when I run out.

Yep, realizing your life is being controlled by some shitty dealer you pretend to like (then do like when the dope kicks in) is the worst. You're totally at their mercy and they know it

I drink 70+ beers a weekend, it feels fucking phenomenal, then sunday rolls around and my gastrointestinal tract feels like a hamster ran up my asshole directly into my stomach. My brain power is diminished the entire week, I feel sluggish, sick, weak. Tell myself I won't do it friday and then I do it again. I even drank filtered hand sanitizer once. HAven't hit rock bottom yet but I need a different speed up button on my life that isn't getting fucked up beyond words.

Put down the bottle and go for a run you fuckin bum

I was deep into addiction, went away to a different country by myself and did a fuckton of mushrooms, came back, able to drink socially but not problem drinking anymore. Not recommended for most.

I think there's something to this.

Back in the 90s, I was involved in two scenes: the rave scene and the club scene.

The ravers were INSANE about their drugs, doing everything they could get their hands on. Weed, LSD, mushrooms, heroin, crack, meth, GHB, MDMA. This was back in the 90s when raves didn't serve alcohol. It was literally easier to buy E at a rave than sneak a bottle of vodka in, and there was no alcohol for sale at all.

The clubbers just drank a LOT of booze and smoked a lot of cigarettes.

Now fast forward 20 years, all of these people I knew are in their 40s and 50s. And you know what? The ravers are all sorted out. Good jobs, happy families. A lot of the club kids I knew are stuck in dead-end jobs and still drinking and smoking.

My 'hunch' is that alcohol and cigarettes kill you slooooooowly, while the raver lifestyle is so intense, there's simply no way you could maintain it while holding down a job. So people do it for a little while, and then they move on with their lives.

ive been clean 3 years tomorrow from everything

I drank for 15 years. I wasn't a drunk but I drank plenty, and when I drank it was whiskey 99% of the time. (I never drank beer) The older I got, the worse the hangovers got and the more it triggered my depression.

I quit 9 months ago this Saturday after a particularly bad few weeks/weekends of drinking. It's made my life drastically better. I still go to bars and everything, drink with all my friends. I just get diet Cokes or coffee or a "...CRANbewwy juice."

Are you serious? I feel like doing this but replying to fan emails seems so unlike Ron's radio persona that I think you're making a joke. Give me the skinny buster.

well i had a close incident on liquid hydrocodone and Xanax in my early twenties woke up and I believed my heart stopped for a time. Didn't learn my lesson 8 months ago after a 3 day binder on coke/mdma and finishing it off with smoking heroin collapsed and woke up in bathroom in my piss/shit and throw up took me almost a week to before I could function.
