i am a shell of my former self thanks to alcohol

[highwhey]

just got kicked out of rehab for relapsing. honestly, the psycologist there is crazy, she's a red head that moves around like she hasn't gotten dicked down in months. felt like unzipping my pants and doing her a favor. they called the cops for a welfare check :facepalm i called the rehab place and told them i'm drunk, they told me not to come back :roll:

was running red lights on purpose the other day, daring a cop to pull me over. i'm a ****ing mess man. gave my keys to my brother this morning. can't even face my past. i have unresolved trauma that i can't seem to deal with. but the drinking has to stop. there are no hangovers, there withdrawals now. one day i'm not going to come back to reality from being drunk so often. my brain is fried. even when i'm sober, i have mental lapses, i've been making bad jugdement calls. all of my family tells me i used to be a happy person that made others laugh...now i can't even bring my own self to laugh. i missed most of the suns series because i don't enjoy my favorite sport any longer.

the drinking has just compounded my issues. i've seen crazy shit that you may have seen on worldstar or something along those lines.

my ex dumped me because of my drinking. her father was a drunk that beat on them so she doesn't want to relive that, even though i never raised a hand or threatened her. i did beat her ex's ass though, her sister told me her ex tried to rape her so i asked her to tell me where he lives, mind you, this is on her quincenera, after the photo session. i drove down there and beat his ass. i don't think my ex knows i did that, at least i hope she doesn't.

i am a hypocrite. i complain about rich white entitled folk in the US, yet i go down to mexico and i do the same shit i say i hate. i was driving drunk out of my mind going over 100mph, got pulled over twice by the same cop within the span of 30 minutes. i called my cousin who's the chief of police in that state, they immediately let me go. spoiled ass behavior. i'm a piece of shit. i could have killed someone. not to mention i had an m4 rifle and weed in my truck. they saw the rifle too.

don;t drink my brothers. it's a bottemless pit. not to glorify myself, but lots of folks tell me "Alan's great, he's a class act, great individual"

now those same people can't even look me in the eye because they know i'm a drunk.

the greatest woman i ever met left me because i chose alcohol over her. what a fukking idiot. sweetest person ever too. way out of my league. i showed a video to hawker, the poster from texas, he lives in australia now i think.

it is. i don't wish it on anyone. the therapy sucks too. it feels fake, they always ask if i've been raped as a child or some bs like that. no m'fer i was never raped. but i did witness people getting killed and stabbed. i hate violence. yet i have nightmares every night about it.

Bad times pass man.

You have to either switch to weed or give it up cold turkey and start working out hard. Get into some kind of fulfilling, clean hobby. Something is really bothering you obviously and that must be rooted out and dealt with.

highweight is a potential school shooter.

[Patrick Chewing]

The problem highweight has is that he's using alcohol to fill in a gap or a void in his life. It's a temporary relief that provides him immediate pleasure so that he can forget about whatever it is that upsets him. The hardest thing for him to do is to quit drinking. Yes, drinking makes you forget the things that hurt you by putting you in an altered state, but the bottle doesn't have to be the only thing highweight can go to when he's feeling down. The thing about alcoholism is that it's probably the worst thing you can do to distract you from the bigger issue. The toll it takes and the destruction it leaves behind is like no other. Look at all that highweight has lost. Look at the regret he has in his post.

So my quick and easy solution for highweight is that he focuses on something else to fill in the void and provide him happiness. Cause I don't know a single soul who drinks to near blackout cause they like how it tastes. Nope, any alcoholic I've met does it because they are trying to hide the pain as best and as quickly as they can.

Not sure what highweight's demons are, but my only suggestion is that he read up on alternative methods. Whether that be a shopping addiction, an addiction to lifting weights, or drinking something different. I used to have an addiction to Coke. Well now, all I drink all day is carbonated water. It could be flavored or just regular carbonated water. I drink like 5 or 6 cans a day. As I type this, I've already drank 3 so far. Drinking Coke to me was like busting a nut. I can only imagine how good a Coke made people feel back when they still used cocaine in it.

The point is, stopping cold turkey is a joke. Just like smoking. So if highweight can will himself to address his addictions by gearing them towards something that's healthier and less damaging to him or the people around him, then maybe this will save him. Cause I'll be frank. Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. And you're only cutting your life short that way.

[Long Duck Dong]

How's your business doing? Can't be going good. I can't imagine very many steady clients would want to deal with this. But if you're in a business with a revolving door of new customers I imagine you could pick right up after you get straight.

Your life needs to get boring for a while. Move in with your parents or a sibling. Jog every day(probably only early morning is possible in your climate) to good music. Exercise. Make yourself useful around the house of whoever you live with. Binge watch some stuff on TV. It's very possible a wave of revelation and focus will wash over you out of the blue that will set you on the right path. Just as likely it won't do jack shit like with my brother but you never know.

[ArbitraryWater]

i guess this sheds some light on that dime breaking up with you, op :lol

[Gohan]

My advice to highwhey: “dont be a nickel out here looking for a dime” STATISTICS

[hold this L]

You got to see a psychologist my man, a good one. And you know you're f*cking up and while addition is brutal, there's no point continuing to drink. I agree with Duck, you need to go back to boring lifestyle. The lifestyle you got is for college and at most 1 year after that, that's it. You have to man up and grow the f*ck up afterwards.

You've messed up a few things already but that doesn't mean it needs to continue. Do you want to spiral and continue to ruin your life or stop the bleeding and slowly begin to improve? This part is on you, and I wish you the best of luck.

[rawimpact]

The only thing more pathetic about going onto a basketball forum comprised of teenage kids to talk about your problems is pretending they're actual problems.

Here's your bump, I hope it met your social need.

And even in the event this is legitimate , there are infinitely better places you vocalize your self thought and reach for help.

Switch to weed. You don't even have to smoke it. I ate 3 of these sour strawberry gummies with total 30 mg THC and 60 mg CBD @ 9am and have been legit stoned all day.

[Meticode]

Addiction of anything is difficult to overcome. Smoking, drugs, all the garbage people stuff down their throats and eat to make themselves feel good in the moment mostly laced with sugar, drinking, etc.

The only way that's going to change is if you look yourself in the mirror and you're absolutely tired of the person you've become. Otherwise, you're just going to slowly whither away.

You have to find some motivation or find a goal. For me when I got diagnosed with chronic kidney disease several years ago, I had to make changes to my lifestyle. And I'd do the changes, then fall off, then do them again, then fall off again. And eventually I had a good day with my daughter like usual, but just more fun than usual and I thought to myself I want to be around for her life and support her as long as I can. So I changed my lifestyle to be healthy, to feel good, and to be there for her...

...find your inspiration to change. If you don't you'll regret it later.

and there is the personal connection with knowing another a lil bit at this point

[Doomsday Dallas]

was running red lights on purpose the other day, daring a cop to pull me over. i'm a ****ing mess man. gave my keys to my brother this morning. can't even face my past. i have unresolved trauma that i can't seem to deal with. but the drinking has to stop. there are no hangovers, there withdrawals now. one day i'm not going to come back to reality from being drunk so often. my brain is fried. even when i'm sober, i have mental lapses, i've been making bad jugdement calls. all of my family tells me i used to be a happy person that made others laugh...now i can't even bring my own self to laugh. i missed most of the suns series because i don't enjoy my favorite sport any longer.


Highwey... again I'd like to remind you I'm an expert on this subject.

In July it will be 7 full years since I've even touched a drink. Rule #1: Don't have the first drink.


If you start right now... no drinking whatsoever... it will take your brain 2 full years to fully recover from what your describing... 2 full years to overcome the temptation or urge to have a drink.

If you're dealing with trauma... get some counseling, you may think it doesn't help but it definitely will in your situation.



Don't worry about money, jobs, friends, family, health or any of that right now... if you can go a few years without drinking, you will see your life change and things will start to fall back in order on their own.

AA and rehab will preach to you about working steps, getting a sponsor and doing the work.... man, I said F*ck all that, the only work I have to do is just avoid having the first drink... and that's what I've done for 7 straight years.



Oh yea... I'm pretty sure you do still have some loser friends and females you still like to party with,... if any of these people in your life have any effect on your sobriety, gotta cut them out for a few years. It doesn't have to be forever, but it does need to happen temporarily... and knowing Mexican people the way I do... I can only imagine the beer-drinking pieces of $hit you hang out with.



It's real f*cking simple... and I wish I had discovered the solution a long time ago: You're not allowed to have the first drink. Do that, and you will find the help you are looking for.

It's not like you're being asked to never jerk off or have sex again, and it's going to be years upon years of semen retention... no, just don't ****ing have the first drink, how hard is that? Smoke weed if you have to.




Also.... I once thought I had hit rock bottom in my early 30's, but wasn't done drinking

I had no idea how far my rock bottom really was... you can sink so much further.

if you keep drinking, doesn't matter how much money or how many women you have... your life ain't going to get any better.

and more importantly... one day at a time.



But what do I know? It's not like I have any wisdom on the subject.

keep trying to limit your drinking to the weekends or just 1 or 2 a day... see how that works out... or you can just stay away from the first drink like I did.

[TheMan]

highweight is a potential school shooter.

Nah, he's nearing 30, way too old for that. It's more likely he'll end up killing himself or other innocent people while driving like a maniac drunk out of his mind.

It's obvious he has unresolved issues, hopefully he gets the help he needs and I wish him the best.

I am no therapist but my brother is an addict. You need to eliminate drinking, but you're not working on why you're drinking. This post shines a light on a hard truth my dude. You have to learn to like yourself. Look at the last statement you made here... total credit goes to the girlfriend for pushing you to things like the gym and feeling in a positive way about yourself. Loneliness sucks but you cant let it consume you.

Won't seem like it now, but that girl breaking up with you was the best thing that could happen in your life. I can guarantee you she was not the one. It only felt like she was the one because you don't love yourself enough to know you are gonna be all right with or without anyone you are with. From what I have seen from my brother, that's why you do the high risk shit like running red lights when there's a major disruption in your life like the break up. You want someone else to give a shit about you so that you can care about yourself again. A cop noticing you would do that. That could be at least in part why you keep ending up in rehab... there's easy attention there because of the authority from rules.

Everyone in this community likes you. You are charming guy, fun to talk to. Sometimes short fused and dialed up on the homer, but that's part of your charm. You need to be able to see that without having other people tell it about you. Americans have all these sayings with self improvement and success seminar stuff. One of those is fake it until you make it. Just keep faking believing in yourself until it becomes natural.


thank you my brother. i appreciate your honesty and advice, i value it greatly being that you are a fellow addict.

Malcolm X believe it or not had a good quote about this. Talking about the time he spent in prison he said something like he wasn't going to give power to the people that tried to hold his criminal past over him. The point i am trying to make here... It is okay to remove yourself right now. The way I handle these situations are if people are drinking and i am not or cant... I willl just say no thx or leave if anyone is past the checkpoint of being a jackass. Don't be that guy preaching about the evils of alcohol to people that still drink. You are just in an irritable spot right now and i get that. It is not the real you because you have always been an easy going guy posting here. :cheers:

This may be an inappropriate joke, but these 2 have a relationship like that. If that crossed the line, highwhey could have spoke for himself. These two guys are actually friends if you look past the hatred for each other on the surface of their posts.

Fck you loser. Begin by censoring your own work. You have been a nuisance to reading the NBA forum for like 6 years because you are insecure about who people half your age pick as the best basketball player. Worry about improving your own contributions here. You are not the only member. This is not your playground. It is a free for all and very loosely moderated. Spam is the equivalent of the cheap pop. In wrestling Mankind would yell out the name of the hosting city, the crowd would react with loud enthusiasm and that was called a cheap pop. That is you taking the lowest effort path to getting any reaction you can get. You are real bold showing your ass all over the nba forum then without missing a beat you frame it a social issue and position yourself as some pillar of moral character here.

I can only imagine how good a Coke made people feel back when they still used cocaine in it.

The point is, stopping cold turkey is a joke. Just like smoking. So if highweight can will himself to address his addictions by gearing them towards something that's healthier and less damaging to him or the people around him, then maybe this will save him. Cause I'll be frank. Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. And you're only cutting your life short that way.

This sounds good, but the fact is he's just a junkie for adrenalin. Dude likes to get a buzz going and can't control himself. Just wreeks of a spoiled brat childhood where he never got told no

Not surprised you can't relate to the story in the OP. His gun was in the truck and yours was strewn out on the $5 table you bought on half off day at Salvation Army next to your bags of crack rock and half smoked cigarettes. Shut up

"It's the first drink that will kill you."

Once you buy into that philosophy, you'll be alright. Takes awhile for most alcoholics and addicts to learn this. It's the people that can't be honest with themselves that never get sober.

You have to be willing to admit to yourself that you lost the luxury to ever drink again. Somewhere along the way... you lost that privilege.

I mean... that was the only thing that worked for me... finally understanding that the first drink is the key to victory.



Become more powerful than the first drink... and you win, very simple solution.

and one day... after a few years have gone by... you will finally feel "recovered"

I still don't understand the allure to drinking alcohol. More especially, the allure to drinking alcohol outside of social situations. I guess I'm lucky my body rejects alcohol. I get migraines immediately just by sipping some alcohol. It's been like that since college. I've limited my drinking nowadays to a few craft beers every once and a while. I will absolutely reject a shot. Whiskey, Tequila, Vodka, whatever. If I do one shot, it immediately comes back up and I'm puking all over the place. If I somehow manage to keep it down, then I turn into Frank the Tank.

It's probably genetic, I don't like getting drunk but I need a beer at the very least to get through the day. Mexicans, Irish and the Russians, we consume a lot of alcohol, it's our burden :(

My suggestion would be not to over dramatize your situation. Don’t call yourself an addict, don’t dwell on trauma and search for root causes. You end up living up to that hype. It’s like a self fulfilling prophecy. Find a way to stay sober for 30 days, however that may be, and move on like it never happened.

Very possibly. His last post made it sound like he had a near encounter and expected the next one to be it. Sounded like his body was failing. :(

Currently in an inpatient rehab. Living at some house with other sober people. Actually pretty cool, it’s a mansion in a very nice area.

One of the therapist brought up the flight movie reference during a class lol.
