Has anyone here ever dealt with alcoholism?
-
2016-04-01 at 10 PM UTCI've always been a big drinker, but the last 3 months I've drank every day while on the job. I was pulled over 3 nights ago for having a head light out and I thought for sure I was going to go to jail because I was drinking. ( I don't get shit faced just a lil buzzed and I practice driving well) I kind of don't want to drink at work anymore, but I have a hard time dealing with the people I work with and the customers while being sober. I'm planning on going to go to work sober for once today, but I feel so out of wack without having a drink or two.
Has anyone here ever gone through this before? -
2016-04-02 at 2:42 AM UTCNot like that but I'm an alcoholic my pattern is different though I go to work deal with all the doucbags around me get all worked up in my head come home and drink till I fall asleep. I wake up feeling decent but after a few hours my stomach feels all fucked up and nauseated and i don't feel like I slept at all. I feel fucked emotionally and i have trouble hearing people take like drinking is messing with my hearing. When I don't drink I feel great and stable but it's always in the back of my mind and if I'm around girls I wanna fuck I drink. I'm trying to learn how to control it I guess.

2016-04-02 at 4:25 AM UTCIt's not alcoholism until it becomes a problem so no, but I do drink more than I should and it probably would be a problem if my lifestyle were different

2016-04-02 at 8:52 AM UTCYou have also always been a big faggot. When are you working on that?
-
2016-04-02 at 12:33 PM UTC^ actually I've been a lot less of a faggot the last few months. I've been saving money, paying child support, and holding a job that I like.

2016-04-02 at 6:01 PM UTCI've had enough problems with alcohol that it's cost me 38 grand and change, about 2 and half years incarcerated and whatever intangible other things you could probably imagine. That being said I don't feel a need to blame alcohol for my problems or go to 5 AA meetings a week so the all mighty and powerful alcohol demon doesn't destroy me lol. My "problem" was me and the results of my thinking and actions. Out of curiosity what type of job is it that allows you to drink at work?

Thanks for sharing that, really. How long have you been drinking and do you have any other health problems? -

Ahh I see that's cool. I guess if it's not really hindering your performance on the job it's not really a problem but it sounds like regardless you would just rather not. I really want to avoid sounding cliche and so "well duh" but maybe you could concentrate on getting a higher paying job or even climbing the latter within your current job you wouldn't be so prone to it. I know personally I never drank at work but as a teenager I'd often do loads of percocet/oxys etc at work out of pretty much sheer boredom. Only you know the severity of your drinking or lack thereof but I know having tasks in general that don't require much physical or mental demands people tend to to drink or do drugs because it's like a "hey why not" thing rather than a serious chemical dependence and again the boredom of tasks that become tiresome because of their repetitiveness and really their lack of purpose because most people are working a job for a check and there is no passion or drive there.
Really don't know where I'm going with this I guess I'd really get in gear on starting your own business then it's all up to you how it goes. I'd bet anything there's been times were your doing something at work that "has to be done this certain way" that defies all logic and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. For starters a lot of that shit goes out the window when you have pretty much absolute control and can dictate how things are done and how things go because you are your own boss. I've gotten way off the OP here but it's something to think about.

2016-04-03 at 11:37 AM UTC^I work fairly hard at where I'm at and they are training me to be a closing manager
, and part of the reason why I like this job, is because I like the bar/metal/punk scene and its where I plan to eventually have my own hot dog stand. . I just want to keep this job for awhile because its the most fun job I've ever had , and with other jobs I usually quit after a month because I get bored with it.
But yeah I definitely need to cool it a bit. Appreciate the advice. -
2016-04-04 at 3:02 AM UTCThe first step is admitting you have a problem. Lanny is still on the bottom floor.

weather your into AA or not, the first step is admitting you have a problem if alcohol is keeping you down, man. Yeah -

Yeah, but I specifically said I'm not being "kept down" by alcohol. I drink a lot but it doesn't cause problems. Only AA tools think all drinking is problem drinking. -

I've been going to AA meetings several times a week since August, I can confirm their are some of the douchiest, off the wall cringe worthy faggots who attend AA. It's a pretty small percentage though maybe 10 percent. The remainder is court ordered people like me and people looking for some supernatural answer to their problems. I was at a meeting yesterday and smelled beer on the guys breath next to me lol. I wouldn't recommend AA to anyone honestly though it's basically a group counseling session where you talk about your problems..it's a lot of "venting" basically. It's not some magical formula or key to success as they would have you believe if it were the door wouldn't be open to the public for any idiot to just walk in.
I guess I really have no answer on how to stop drinking...I did it cold turkey at the tail end of last summer and haven't drank since but I have half a year in jail hanging over my head if I do so I have a lot more motivation not to drink than the average person who most likely isn't going to face any severe consequences in the immediate future at least. I plan on not drinking in the future as well but I'm definitely gonna order some top notch weed and coke when I graduate the program in 9 days...9 days fuuuccckk.
Actually read some Robert Greene books, shit just watch some of his skits on youtube, or Tony Robbins...nothing to do with alcohol but it seems to help me bare with the crap I had to go through with all of this nonsense...gives me a different perspective I guess. -
2016-04-04 at 9:35 AM UTC^right on man, glad you're almost done with your meetings. I did 62 weeks of anger mgmt, the cock sucker told me I had to make up an extra week because I "missed one to many" It was pulling teeth all the way through, he sent me a text saying basically saying I didn't have to do that extra week.. It was a test to see if I would flip out. I actually went in drunk one day and gave a "speech" and he didn't like it and said "I'll let this one slide, but no one else is going to wing their reports aymore" and I said "okay cool" in a dickish way and I literally saw him cringe, he grabbed his tazer and started yelling at me to get the fuck out of his class and I started yelling back at him how I want my money back, the black dude next to me was like "you better leave man..."
I'm so glad I'm done with that bs.
Luckily my daughters mom is completely hip to all the bullshit I've been through, so I can still give my daughter spankings when she needs them.
and all it taught me was to learn how to talk shit better rather than using violence when I'm drunk/angry. I know of tony robbins but haven't heard of robert greene, I will check him out.
