being sober is the most boring experience ever

[highwhey]

been sober a couple months. go to meetings. met arian bothers at the meetings, met super hot girls you would not expect to be alcoholics, met preachers, etc. meetings are great.


been working out quite often. lost good amount of weight.

close family member dies...leaves me in shambles. don't drink. :( still haven't processed.

work project goes awry, lose SHIT LOADS of money, make it right, lose shitloads more of money. don't drink.

meet beautiful girl, quite possibly the most amazing woman i've met ever...family member tells her i'm an alchy...she runs for the hils the night before a big date. this chick was in love with me. not wanting to talk to me at the moment. *intense feelings to drink*


this all happened within the span of 2 months. super close to drinking. super close to saying fvck it all.

pretty lost. been hiking a lot on my own to find something to keep me from drinking. still haven't found that. i don't think a break is ever coming.

[highwhey]

went to rocky point 2 weeks ago. did some donuts in front of some douchebags. they circled us right after. it was 3 of us. 8 of them came out of their razrs trying to fight, threathining they knew people that could make us disappear. i laughed in their face. got into it. knocked the dude out and got into my raptor and took off. i guess that was good.

[highwhey]

this is the video im talking about, at the base, those 4 razrs i was doing donuts in front of them after the video. i was the truck hauling ass in.

you probably developed social anxieties from being a fat loser so you need the booze to feel confident. you should isolate yourself from everyone for a while and get on this OMAD diet. i do it every other year for a few months and get super thin and sexy. canadians have to do it cause we hibernate all winter eating poutine and other junk just getting drunk with friends. usually its only for 4-5 months but due to covid its been 2 years straight of this. any non canadian would have gone insane. for me it was just really annoying. so try it out. you'l only have headaches for 3 days. mix in some push ups and squats as well. then after 2 months or whenever youre no longer an absolute sloth behemoth of a brown failure you can switch to 2 meals a day within a 4 hour window ... you'l gain so much confidence youl be happy sipping on light beer the whole night and telling others about how you were once as shitty as they were and how they can change too

OMAD worked wonders for me in 2019 I went from 240 to 205 in 6 months without working out or anything

btw OP I think you should consider speaking to a therapist/psychologist it sounds like you're going through a lot

Congrats on achieving sobriety for an extended length of time. You should feel proud of that achievement and try to build on it.

Few points.

1.) Alcohol is a depressant. You state you're feeling shitty now, add alcohol to that mix and that improves your mood how? Have to focus on the long-term here as best you can.

2.) Alcohol lowers cognitive ability and increases risk-seeking behavior. Your finances have taken a hit, does falling back into drinking have a higher likelihood of improving that situation or worsening it?

3.) Alcohol wreaks havoc on your body. You mention you have made improvements here. Why take all the hard work you have invested and piss it away frivolously? From weight gain to liver/cardiovascular damage to increased fatigue = all net negatives to your current physical and mental well-being.

4.) The chick will come around, or she won't, but if she liked you that much she'll be back in time. Can't control that stuff right now, but a sober you has a better chance at improving your status with her.

5.) It sounds like you could use a helping hand. If financially able this may be a good time to explore addiction psychiatrists in your area. This is why they exist.

Good luck, highwhey. I hope you do what's right for you and if you fell back into drinking last night there's no reason that has to continue.

Keep up the hiking and take care of yourself.

no reason not to hook up with one of the hot chicks in your meeting for morale support. :pimp:

[Patrick Chewing]

I don't know how drinking yourself to death all day counts as entertaining. If you're bored, there are so many sober things you can do with your life. If you're drunk, not so much.

unfortunately addiction is not listenting to any common sense or logical thought. my therapist breaks it down for me as well. "will drinking improve your situation?" of course not, there isn't a situation where grabbing a beer will improve my situation. the little voice in my head telling me to drink though...that is what causes addiction.

i've been more open minded to doing new things though. can never go wrong with going to a suns game. last night i went to an art event downtown and i am not an art person, but i had a great time.

i actually am visiting an addiction therapist. but the meetings is what is helpoing the most i think, or at least the combination of both work great for keeping me sober.

and she came around :pimp:

i have my reservations about seeing a girl during my initial recovery period, but my therapist is encouraging it so i'm game.

[Norcaliblunt]

There needs to be some sort of hardcore “moderation” program. Sober meetings all week. Casual and moderate drinking/using meetings in a safe environment on Friday and Saturday. Reinforcing balance instead of straight up abstinence.

[BigKobeFan]

I wouldnt want to be a fat loser either so coping with alcohol makes sense

[Lakers Legend#32]

Only weak people feel the need to drink.

[TOUCH MY BODY]

Smoke weed instead

[highwhey]

Smoke weed instead

i smoke so much weed and it barely has any effect on me. haven't smoked it in a week and i don't even miss it. i've bought the top shelf stuff too. vape pens. dabs. weak af.

[John_Connor]

OP is depressed and seeking attention/self medicating his sorrows. that's why he has like 50 guns. small man complex. fat man complex. brown man complex.

you should just do something that fits your body like become the 3rd version of la parka or something

nobody that's happy drinks themselves to death.

I haven't even touched a beer or shot of whiskey in like 3 months. and before that I would drink once every 2 weeks to a month since covid started. it's more of a social thing to either deal with idiot friends or gain confidence in yourself. that or commit suicide

the people who say they're addicted are just dealing with an anxiety issue. they need the booze to calm them down. I always drank cause most of my friends are morons and I'm way slicker with women cause I'm not horny when I drink so I'm not always trying to get them in bed. I can treat them like guys and they love it.

since the covid lockdowns turned everyone into reclusive hermits with isolation sickness I've just been cutting off people that are shook for life still wearing masks everywhere they go. and since like 3 weeks ago I've been shedding weight and working out nonstop trying to get into peak physical condition so I can go after a young chick and knock her up then move out of the city and cut the internet and beat the piss out if her if she acts out if line. only way il complete my last goal in life to start a family before age 40

Forgot your highweight password?? Have you been drinking?

:oldlol: ppl still think that's my alt? i don't even have any alts

[ZenMaster]

@OP which of the things you describe would have been more fun if you'd been drinking?

And what the **** are they teaching you in these meetings, since you're here writing about how you'll never see an end to it?

[Patrick Chewing]

:oldlol: ppl still think that's my alt? i don't even have any alts

Like, why are you ashamed to admit it? Everyone knows I'm PistolPete. Be open. Be honest. This is a safe place.

[highwhey]

because that's not my alt. if i had an alt, i wouldn't be sloppy. i openly admit what i am. not the first time and i'm sure it won't be the last time. why i would create an alt with an obvious reference to my favorite player is too easy to figure out. but ISH isn't big on logic so you eat it all up just as well. :facepalm

[highwhey]

sober life is absolutely better in the grand scheme. but it's boring. doesn't mean i can't have fun sober, just means i have to constantly force myself to do it. the meetings help a lot, they also make me realize how crazy we alcoholics are, like everyone in that meeting is legit batshit crazy. everyone there is one drink/shot away from being a public threat.

[fsvr54]

Just smoke weed at night dude, after a long workday. Works wonders and non addictive.

No BS vape hits. I'd recommend a bong.

Glad it sounds like things are going better for you and that you were open to seeing a therapist. Successful treatment is most often associated with a multidisciplinary approach, meaning the more angles you attack this from the better off you'll likely be.

I should preface by stating I subscribe to the biological/disease theory of addiction. The theory behind this model is that some brains are wired in a manner that makes them susceptible to cravings/feelings that others fortunately are not. Neural dopamine reward pathways are reinforced the deeper someone falls into addiction. So it becomes important to break-up that pathway as best as we can. Otherwise, sobriety can be achieved only temporarily.

I mention this because there is a 3rd prong of support that you may find useful and that's a pharmacological approach.

1. Naltrexone -generic name - is a drug that works by blocking the mu opioid receptors that trigger the feelings of euphoria in an addict. The theory behind this is, if you slip and decide to take a drink, the neurosynaptic connections in that reward circuit will be unable to spark so the reward, the euphoria, is now gone. With no reward, no incentive to reinforce the behavior. Pathway is weakened.

2. Disulfiram aka antabuse - this medicine is for those that have an extreme commitment to sobriety. Oftentime, but not always, folks that have accepted that their job/family/freedom status are at risk. The pharmacology behind this drug is simple. If you drink while on this medicine you will get violently sick. What this does is it not only helps break up the rewards circuit, but it creates a new memory circuit that can begin to associate alcohol with the extremely noxious physical reaction associated with antabuse + alcohol. The bonus idea behind this is to also eliminate the cravings associated with drinking and replace them with disgusting memories.

Anyway, just wanted to share this info with you on the offhand that you haven't received it yet. Therapy and AA tend to stay pretty committed to their lanes without venturing too deep into the medical aspect. All 3 approaches reinforce each other and provide their own method of support so if you were to attempt something new, you wouldn't want to drop the others.

Regardless, good luck with this and glad the situation improved with your girl as well.

^ Youre a credentialed virologist AND addiction therapist? That’s impressive.

Altho it’s weird you never directly state your ‘medical background,’ rather using implicit language that suggests youre a professional in virtually every medical field (amazing feat) but never actually stating your irl qualifications.

It’s as tho this is something you badly want to pass as online and have people believe about you, but cant legally make such a claim if youre doling out advice. Like a veneer of expertise you dont really have. It kinda feels like maybe you look things up on wikipedia in the moment and then try to pass it off as medical training.


I mean I dont really care, just kinda thinking out loud here

You didnt know that vaccines are classified as drugs.

You pompously corrected me when I stated as much, I posted readily available info confirming this basic fact (which I literally remembered from 8th grade health class), and you disappeared for months.

Can you please not leave it up to our imaginations as to what qualifies you to be giving out medical advice online?

Well I dont doubt that, but you intentionally affect an air of qualified, professional expertise whenever you discuss covid, addiction, or ANY medical topic that comes up here.

But you dont know basic facts and refuse to simply tell us what your general academic background is.

It’s kinda wild you dont realize how obvious it is youre a secretary or janitor etc at a hospital who goes home and pretends to be a doctor on the internet :roll:

It’s also sad that you have to resort to doing that for self esteem, not to mention morally dubious that you present yourself that way to others gathering medical info.

But.... “okay.”

[Loco 50]

:oldlol: I've mentioned my background numerous times:

Bio degree
Virology research
Post grad professional degree that I won't narrow down for you because I know you're a weirdo with too much time.
Medical training

That's as much as you're getting from me, because I've known you to be a demented person since about the first year I've had the displeasure of communicating from you.

Again, feel free to double check anything, unlike you, I hate spreading incorrect info.

Years of posting info when I feel I can shed some light on stuff or help someone out and I got the definition of vaccine wrong. I gave you props for that and here you are holding onto it like Smeagol and his ring......odd that you haven't been able to correct anything else.

Keep at it, one day I'll slip again. I'm sure you'll be ready to pounce. :oldlol:

Im pretty sure you have not posted this before, feel free to link me to a thread if you remember one.

So the only thing concrete is... a bachelors in biology? (assuming youre being truthful about that).

“Virology research” (as in looking at random articles in your spare time since 2020) “professional degree” aka any number of potential fields unrelated to medicine, and “medical training” as in you learned to apply the heimlich when you worked as a lifeguard in college.

You could give plenty of detailed info about areas of specialization, units youve worked in, topics youve done papers on etc without leaving a trail of personal info (and I would NEVER use my time looking for you, obvious cop out).

It’s PAINFULLY obvious youre trying to maintain a charade of medical expertise because you want to feel important on the internet. You are not a doctor, pharmacist, research scientist, credentialed counselor, or anything of the sort. If you were any of things you would simply say so. It’d be the least big deal in the world.

This is like some kijd of sad midlife crisis where you live out a fantasy of being a doctor when youre like, maybe a phlebotomist at best.

So bizarre.

[FultzNationRISE]

Anyway whatever, I feel silly for even having wasted my time discussing this.

I guess I have something of an “addiction” to calling out the phony cringe you post 100% of the time.

It legit is a harder habit to break than it might seem :lol

Nah, search it out on your own.

BS in bio. Only thing I'm comfortable sharing because it's so generic.

Virology labwork. Developing vaccines, studying disease progression in BSL-3 and 4 bugs. That's already too narrow and won't go further. Your demand for details shows your ignorance at how easy it is to identify someone or you're trying to bait me. Not happening.

Medical stuff I'll leave to your imagination as to what level I've achieved, but I do feel it's important that anyone reading this thread seeking help does understand I do have significant schooling/training/experience in working with folks suffering from various mental ailments with a heavy focus on substance use disorder.

But again, it is important that anyone reading fact checks and seeks in person medical advice over anything I or anyone else says regarding health issues

With that disclaimer out of the way, this thread isn't about me and I won't be speaking about me any more.

So you just happen to have professional medical experience in virology AND addiction counseling? Impressive!

Convenient too, given virology and highwhey’s pretend addiction (which seemed to parody John Connor’s real post about it a couple weeks prior, which nobody seemed to notice and I guess highwhey liked the attention and went with it, complete with a tale about some dimepiece falling in love with him lmao) are the two medical topics du jour on ISH. Theyre not especially related so the fact you have career experience in both is remarkably coincidental and fortuitous.

Guess this internet thing is just the kinda place where everyone’s telling the truth all the time.

Who knew.

Strangely enough I've shared information on both medicine and virology years before either of these current issues arose.......

Folks have asked for dietary advice, Shogun asked for info on cholesterol metabolism, a fella asked about what to do about his mother that was falling further into Alzheimer's, I've attempted to help Smoke and failed, I've attempted to educate Patricio on fetal development and failed :oldlol: etc etc...you're freaking out about nothing again. Honestly, I've been met with much more failure than success here, because folks like you are way too angry to learn anything, but when I can help it's been pretty f'n good.

Was also in the ebola thread years ago when it reached the states trying to calm down the hysteria by explaining how difficult it is to transmit that virus.

Take a breath

Highwhey's post did not strike me as parody but as someone asking for help.

Connor's thread was that of a narcissist that is beyond my ability and temperament to help. He spoke of only staying in rehab not for his benefit but to help other's for Christ's sake.:oldlol: I can't do anything with that.

Strangely enough I've shared information on both medicine and virology years before either of these current issues arose.......

Folks have asked for dietary advice, Shogun asked for info on cholesterol metabolism, a fella asked about what to do about his mother that was falling further into Alzheimer's, I've attempted to help Smoke and failed, I've attempted to educate Patricio on fetal development and failed :oldlol: etc etc...you're freaking out about nothing again. Honestly, I've been met with much more failure than success here, because folks like you are way too angry to learn anything, but when I can help it's been pretty f'n good.

Was also in the ebola thread years ago when it reached the states trying to calm down the hysteria by explaining how difficult it is to transmit that virus.

Take a breath

Highwhey's post did not strike me as parody but as someone asking for help.

Yeah but right now at the time we’re having this discussion where Im asking you about your medical background, the two most topical med subjects on ISH are virology (covid) and addiction (john connor and pretend highwhey).

Weirdly enough, those are the two medical disciplines you have extensive experience in, which is improbable enough considering how disparate they are, on top of which the unlikelyhood they would be simultaneously topical on ISH.

Thats like a major, MAJOR coincidence. I wonder what the odds are of that.

I wonder what the odds are you are just clumsily bullshitting most of your claims.

I wonder which odds are higher.

sobriety may be boring, but i suppose spending a significant amount of time on this forum between 10+ different alt accounts each with thousands of posts to their name and accusations of people lying (projection of own failures) is probably more boring (and miserable). :ohwell:

Well, seeing as how I'm not going to post any more self-identifying information than I already have all you can do is read up on the stuff I post to see if it checks out or not.

I will say, understanding the history of this place, your suspicion is warranted.
