So how many drinkers do we got here.... I just woke up, reek of alcohol and dont remeber a fucking thing!!! I know that feeling!!!

That's why I don't drink.

That is why I quit drinking!!




That shit used to happen to me all the time. I was basically a binge drinker. I wasn't out of control as far as day to day functioning, but I would generally drink (heavily!!!) two to four times per week. Usually it would be two times during the work week, but with beer and wine so I wouldn't be hung over, then it would be two times over the weekend (generally Friday night and Saturday night so that I could sleep it off) where I would drink whiskey or tequila (plus copious amounts of beer) because I could sleep in for a few hours and therefore minimize any hangover.

I will admit that I am glad those days are over!!

Thats all I ever did in my teens and early 20s was drink... Many nights of drinking, driving, fights, sex, drugs and hangovers... I used to be able to put back a case or a fifth.. Im a lightweight compared to back then.. Once I discovered opiates it slowed way down.. My favorite part was wondering what kind of stupid shit i did the night before.. I wouldnt take them days back for anything... Maby just the trouble with the law and the dui's!!

I like to drink beer here and there. I can have at most 3-4 beers before I start to get too loaded from my pain meds.

If I drink more than 3-4 brews I end up blacking out and not remembering jack shit the next day. Not fun in my book.

If I wanted to forget everything I'd take a bunch of benzos instead.

You ain't a loser bro. If you are then I am and that ain't acceptable. I was the same way with booze where I hated it (although I do love a good, thick ale simply for what it is, rather than the alcohol in it) but couldn't stop drinking. It was just so readily available and I HAVE to be loaded. One day, I managed to quit. The cravings go away soon with booze and once they are gone, they are gone. It is not like coke or dope where after years of abstinence all of a sudden you get a craving that is as bad as the cravings you get when you are coming down.

You still may think about it at times, but it isn't the same as the "true" drug cravings.

I am sure that there are some people out there whom the cravings are just as bad to them for booze as crack is for me, but I think as long as you are like me- don't really enjoy the effects of booze until you start to drink- then the cravings can become manageable.

The thing that helps me quit things like booze or tobacco is weed! I can't smoke weed anymore, so I have been getting into all sorts of substance abuse problems, but when I could smoke weed, I really had no serious substance abuse issues. I miss weed!!

Oh christ no! I can just see the obituary, "Tickled to death in alcohol and opiate induced stupor by drunken Limey"

Just imagine what the neighbors would say...

[chemboy7]

I miss weed too; I would also rather drink bong water than booze. I am pretty sure that what cravings anyone has to alcohol (or anything else) is going to depend greatly on the person... don't really think it's something that can be generalized. I hate alcohol with a passion; I don't even like what being drunk, or what the resulting hangover, feels like. But if there are people drinking around me then all bets are off, eventually I'm gonna take it WAY too far. I'm the guy that always talks shit about alcohol then makes an ass out of himself being too drunk to function. All it takes is one drink and I can't stop drinking until I am too sick/passed out to drink anymore. But as for craving it, it's weird, if I was the only person in the world I would never even think of drinking... but if people are getting drunk around me I can't get the shit out of my head, like I'm missing out on something.

Yeah you are right about generalizing cravings and people. I should say that would apply to people who are similar to me in their addictive natures.. . .Which strangely enough it sounds like we might be paddling around in the same canoe.

I became a little more of a functional binge drinker, but all in all I recognize with your description there very well!

Most people in my family are like that- I can remember a classic instance that is funny enough to be worth sharing-
I took my brother to a New Years party one year. I was about 21 or 22, he was 27 or 28. I was the drinker at that point and he wasn't. Like you and me, though, chem, he doesn't stop once he gets started. He normally handles himself better than this, but he hadn't drank for a long time and he came from Utah, the land of the 3.2% beer. Well, at this party, we had a keg of 5.5% beer and he forgot to take this into consideration.

He had been drinking all night like a trooper. The sun was actually coming up and he was pretty well past the point of being able to walk, so needless to say, he was floor-bound for his traveling needs. I watched him as he must have decided he needed one more beer. . .It was a Herculean effort that he mad to drag himself across 50 feet or so of floor to the keg. I watched him look at it from his vantage point on the ground, and I could see him trying to puzzle how to get up over the lip of the ice bucket to access the pump (we had put the keg in a garbage can and cut the tall half of the garbage can off for an ice container around the keg).

Well, he finally reaches up and grabs the edge of the can. He starts to pull himself up to the edge and he gets high enough that he can peek one eye over the edge to see the pump. Managing to hold himself to the edge of the garbage can-ice bucket, he reaches his other hand across the top and grabs one of the handles in the molded metal around the top edge of the keg.

With one final, massive surge of will power, he grabbed his cup with one hand, pulled himself toward the keg pump, and PUKED HIS FUCKING GUTS UP all over the keg.

It was one of the funniest things that I have ever seen, except that I had to clean him up and clean up the keg and explain the worst and most heinous of all party fouls that I had ever witnessed since he was my brother after all.

It was so fucking hilarious though!! It was an epic journey and showing of willpower, worthy of something like the Iliad and the Odyssey, all to have a tragic end.

The main point of this story is that the brains continued desire to reach the next level of intoxication is often FAR greater than the body's ability to do so in my family.

I have actually illustrated this trend in far more humiliating and degrading ways, but I am not going to share those stories. They are mine!!

[nick]

Yours and mine both bro.


Oh and props to your bro.....he sounds like one of us-god help him.

Oh and SB sis,I always go with the hair of the dog cure.......which explains a lot of my problems.

I like to tell people that I don't drink any more.

But I don't drink any less either;) .

[JayTrizzle]

I love beer. LOVE BEER. EVERY BEER. lol.

[zombiewoof23]

Alcohol is definitely at the bottom of the list as for as my DOC and yet I still find myself drinking. I have found that if I am taking opiates then I have no use for alcohol. After a few days off of opiates I find myself wanting to drink again. I have always tended to go in cycles with alcohol, even before I found opiates. Even though the drug is not at the top of the list, I will still always have room for my guinness, chimay, a good brand of scotch, a good cabernet sauvignon, or a caucasian as I'm drinking right now. I usually go on benders with alcohol for a couple of months tops, take a break for a month or so, then repeat the cycle.

[ProdigalSon]

Love bourbon. Favorite all around shit is Maker's Mark.

[opi8fiend]

Im a huge fan of expensive liquors such as patron, grey goose, hennessy, and hypnotiq, but when it comes to beer im a cheap ass busch light dirty thirty type of guy. Boy do i love drinking:)

[Euphoricgirl]

Used to love to drink in my younger days but those days are long gone. Don't drink alot now for when I do I always end up dancing on a damn table or starting some shit fight. :D

WOW! This is exactly what I go through. I ran out of everything last week, a friend had a little mercy on me and gave me a little H and some suboxone. I did the H and waited until I couldn't take it anymore then started the suboxone. I took 8 mg pill on day one, took 12 mg day two, 8 mg on day three and 4 mg on day four. I was then pretty okay, but then I went out drinking and REALLY got messed up. I drank more than I have in several years. My pharmasist had mercy on me yesterday. My Rx was not due until the 18th but I took him my scripts and he gave me a few norco to get me by until tomorrow. Then I didnt drink a thing last night. Slept great, feel great today.

I am really screwed up and don't know what to do. Since I am basically clean because it was a week since I ran out of opiates, I dont really want to go back but the pain without them is so intense that I cant walk / function. I am also afraid that I will start drinking way too much. I know in the end I will be back on the norco, avninza, and opana train. But in the meantime I just feel really stupid and helpless.

It is almost like the opiates are a an antidepressant for me. Maybe that is what I need to be on period. I have no clue.

(sorry for rambling)

I find it so interesting how most of our stories are so similiar.

I've resorted to booze as a last resort to being sick, aghhh
