Well boys, after two years of drinking almost daily I have decided to check myself into a 3 months rehab program.
good thing is Im completly covered through insurance and they have a nice gym in there, a recreation center, hot tub and a bunch of other nice stuff.
I recently had my liver checked and the dr said I had a 40 year old liver at my age of 27. So the drinking has got to stop.
check it out

good luck mussolini.
they dont make those rehab clinics for quitting snuff do they? i gotta quit that.

I have been, 3 times actually. It was easy to stay clean while in there, but I wasn't down with the 12 step bullshit and the meetings sucked. I looked at it as more of a drug vacation by the third time(and an easy detox), cuz I knew it wasn't going to work. At any rate, I haven't used any drugs(besides valium) since January 7th, this time I used Suboxone for three months, no rehab. I wish I could say I was happier sober, but it is what it is. Good luck to you.

This is the guy who advocated drinking like a case of beer while dieting per week.

Alcohol is to him what blow or speed might be to someone else. A true alcoholic can drink everyday and not only live a normal life, but in many cases do things better.
-
I never understood how one can get addicted to booze. I feel absolutely miserable for days when I had too much. How does it work to get addicted? Serious question.
-
All the best to you. :)
Get well soon.

almost two decades ago i graduated from the betty ford center.

That's a ridiculous statement and if anything enables an alcoholic to continue their destructive path.
My old man drank himself to death at 37. He sure as hell didn't live a normal life nor did he do anything better via drinking.

I just liked the taste of beer, and it became a nightly or daily routine.

Well, I could very well be wrong. I know about the effects of addictive drugs, no so much about alcohol addiction.

How many a day?

sorry to here about your old man. What was the actual cause of death?
I have decided to stop because of my liver enzymes, I would rather live to be old sober then die young drunk.
-
How many a day?
atleast 8, sometimes 24..an average of about 12 probably.

Never man, I never get hung over from drinking beer, not even after a 24. If I drink wine or spirits its a different story though.

Bad luck, I guess.
I would vomit for three days after just one night like that.

more denial
-
denial? never denied I drank too much, just dont get hung over from beer. Lots of alcoholics are that way.

we used to hang out with this guy who was the opposite, this little dude could down one of those bottles of vodka with the little handle on the side with a little orange juice and be totally coherent but literally 2 beers would knock the dude on his ass, anyway good luck big guy.

thanks man
-
Good luck from me too.
-
thanks man
you'll be allright man, a young dude like you with the self discipline to build a good physique and compete in MMA should have no problems, both of those things are way tougher than kicking alcohol, you'll be fine.
-
yeah, best of luck Mussolini. Do what you got to do

literally burned a hole in his intestines. By this point though he had dementia, failing liver, was broke and had severe diabetes all from drinking.

I was raised the same way. All the men in my family are dibetics. I was raised in a beer drinking family. If anyone doesn't know what that means? All day and all night. Cold, Cold, Cold!
-
really sorry to here that man.
It's all good. In matters of addiction and personal destruction I leave it up to that person to choose the path they want to walk. He knew the result.
-
take it serious and dont look at your feelings and emotions as a weakness. :)
-
well When I look back on my life, all the bad decisions I've made, all the stupid things I've done I have always been under the influence.
This past year as a result of my drinking I lost my finace, friends, family, and lots of $. Enough is enough.
-
it wont come immidietly, it will take time, but eventually, if you allow it, you will be just as happy sober as you EVER were when you were drunk. give it time.

ALL OF THE BEST.

I never understood the whole "rehab" thing. If you want to quit drinking, just quit. Like someone else said, if I drank as much as you in a day, I'd probably feel like shit for two days and wouldn't drink for a week or two at least. Having four or five drinks and catching a buzz is one thing, alcoholic-type "drinking" I just don't get.
Anyway, good luck. If you fail, we will add you to the "your lack of willpower is sickening!" thread.
Dont be close minded. you have not experienced all things that can be experienced. you dont just JUMP INTO an addiction. it progresses. and 98% of people can not just 'quit' a TRUE addiction on there own. its not as simple as just = stop performing the action. you have to fix the reason behind why you are abusing whatever your abusing.

I'm not really sure why this was sent to the "Religion" board. ???

it is physically addictive, aburptly stopping long term alcohol consumption can cause grand mal seizures. Its actions on the gabaergic system are probably the main reason
ANTABUSE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If at all, it should probably go to the Injury & Rehab board.

Maybe because they use the "12 step method", which involves belief and and prayer to God.

Spirituality as a cure for alcoholism
"Carl Gustav Jung (IPA: [ˈkarl ˈgʊstaf ˈjʊŋ]) (July 26, 1875, Kesswil – June 6, 1961, Küsnacht) was a Swiss psychiatrist, influential thinker, and founder of analytical psychology."
"Jung's influence can sometimes be found in more unexpected quarters. For example, Jung once treated an American patient (Rowland H.) suffering from chronic alcoholism. After working with the patient for some time, and achieving no significant progress, Jung told the man that his alcoholic condition was near to hopeless, save only the possibility of a spiritual experience. Jung noted that occasionally such experiences had been known to reform alcoholics where all else had failed.
Rowland took Jung's advice seriously and set about seeking a personal spiritual experience. He returned home to the United States and joined a Christian evangelical church. He also told other alcoholics what Jung had told him about the importance of a spiritual experience. One of the alcoholics he told was Ebby Thatcher, a long-time friend and drinking buddy of Bill Wilson, later co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Thatcher told Wilson about Jung's ideas. Wilson, who was finding it impossible to maintain sobriety, was impressed and sought out his own spiritual experience. The influence of Jung thus indirectly found its way into the formation of Alcoholics Anonymous, the original 12-step program, and from there into the whole 12-step recovery movement, although AA as a whole is not Jungian and Jung had no role in the formation of that approach or the 12 steps."

This past year as a result of my drinking I lost my finace, friends, family, and lots of $. Enough is enough.
This kind of shit got me to quit, all the fucking regret. Either I would regret some shit that I did, or I couldn't even remember what I did ( although I was always reminded later ).
It takes BALLS to quit drinking, especially if all your friends do. You just have to fill that time up with something else or it just won't work. This is actually how I got into weightlifting.
Anyway, good luck to you, man. You are making the right move.
