Can some alcoholics have the occasional drink again? Or is it all or nothing.
better to never ever get close to drinking any alc again.the mindset must be "i had the very last drink already and dont ever want one again"for one who truly came off,wont be a big problem.only those whi lie to themselves will fail.deep inside everyone knows whether theyve stopped or not.
Another question for you alcoholics.......you obviously hurt people...but kept drinking.Do you feel guilty, while under the influence, about the things you have done. Why isn't the guilt enough to stop you from drinking? It is a physical addiction?
nah the guilt will be very vague and never honest,untill they stop.the worst scum walking earth are cocaine-alc combo addicts.the highest peak on the scum ranking goes to the heroin addicts when having peak withdrawlals.but median line avergae coke-alc are the scum of the world.esp the ones who smoke the coke.
why dont you release the steam in the gym instead of sipping poison into yourself?result is you look better and get another girl, this is the best cure for past relationships meltdowns
never guilty while drinking, and never guilty after. i felt they did me wrong (when they actually try to help me). then i ran to the bottle for some more liquid morale. vicious cycle and it looks absolutely ridiculous to someone sober. a good way to scare yourself into quitting is seeing a video of yourself bombed out. holy fuck that is embarrassing and humbling.
So you still don't feel bad to this day, towards the ones you hurt?
During times of hardcore addiction there is no conscience.The people that are still with you after all the fucked up shit are the only ones worth feeling sorry for. The ones that are gone weren't worth keeping around anyway.
My "rock bottom" was DUI conviction. I was never a everyday drinker, just once every week or two, but I would drink too much and do stupid shit that I regretted.I've cut down my drinking a lot since then, only had maybe 3 days this year of drinking since february. One year a couple years ago I didn't drink at all.Having said that, I will probably be drinking tonight at a new years eve house party. And I am in Thailand in a few days so will might go nuts with the alcohol, I will try my best not to though, but it is hard with the nightlife culture there.
Man, your bottom needs WAY more depth, guy.Only kidding, you wised up quick is all.
I wised up extremely quick. But it still hurts.
How can you say that? If someone keeps abusing you and your generosity through your tough times should you stay? If they keep lying to you? Basically the addict is using you, taking advantage of you and using you as a punching bag (I don't necessarily mean literally). I WANT to be there for my alcoholic but how can I? All he does is lie to me and makes me feel like complete shit. Everything he does with me is to somehow try and manipulate me into believing he is sober....yet his actions are horrific.Explain your stance, and what would you suggest for being supportive, if only at a distance. The only way I can be supportive is at a distance.
Are you not a drinker, BS?
Instead of trying to get him to stop drinking find out the reason why he does it. Truth is he probably doesn't even remember himself.
not a single sorry is felt. for people that I cared for they all stuck around and still to this day try to help me with tough love. I guess i'm just lucky in that sense.
Does this include a significant other?
I think I know why. I can't help him with it....just support him.Fuck him for hurting me though. I mean that.
