mugwump Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 No shit!My girl and I were on a three day bender last week thatmade us make many, maaaany mistakes in publicand scared lots of good people away....It's hard to take shit back when you damage other people'srelationships, friendships or just plain out loose respect from drunken actions you might not evenremember...I thought it was fun and games until I started todevelope "THE SHAKES" come noon if I didn't crack opena Heinie for BRUNCH...So we are off the sauce...(Lord knows I could use a drink,but fuck it if my liver isn't gonna take this abuse muchlonger)ANY OF YOU EVER HAD TO TAKE A BREAK?WAS IT HARD?HOW DID YOU DO IT? (I'm getting the muther fuckin jittersas I type this!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crxtacy Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 okay i hate drinking and all but i think you can take the same steps that my friend took when we made him realize how bad he had gotten with dropping.1. avoid having any substances in the house.2. let your friends know what is up with you so they don't put you in a position to mess up.3. avoid situations where taking the substance is a normal thing... i.e. dont go clubbing, bar hopping.4. even better .. go to those situations and NOT do the substance. go several times and NOT do the substance while everyone around you is... It'll make you realize what's really imprtant and that you can have a good time without it. It's up to you to figure out how to stop yourself.. mebbe don't bring money'/cards... don't bring ID... be the designated driver etc etc.5. Most important ... (i wish i realized this for my friend) ... be aware of yourself ... meaning DO NOT pick up an alternate habit. hope this is helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennEfer Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 crxtacy made some good points... but to add to that...Find someone that will keep you in line... a buddy to go out with that will keep you in check. Yeah it sucks to have a babysitter... but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shugabooga Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 if you're really really serious about giving up drinking but find it difficult, maybe you should check out alcoholics anonymous. their principles are based on common sense and it's a very supportive environment.

orlandobreaks Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Last time I saw quoth he had a glass of wiskey and he saw a hot wiatress, so he told her how he wanted to show her his 7 inches of manmeat, however disgusting, this guy has no limits or boundries and has some funny shit even if its for chock value.

Still want a beer? you're so right. i was out one night and drank an o'doul's instead of a regular beer and it was very satisfying. on other occassions when i wanted to go out but didn't want to drink, i found that it was only difficult about the first 20 or 30 minutes until i adjusted to the vibe and realized it was fun sober!

petrol Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I quit smoking on or around NYE.One thing to realize, if you falter... don't give up.And I hate to say it, but "if you think you have a problem, you probably do" Try to learn moderation, if your actions fail to match your intentions, then it may be time to do some more soul searching.PM me if you want to talk, i'll pass you my number, but rt now i gotta bolt.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpander Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Hey Maudy, good to hear you're quitting!If you recognize that it's a major problem, and if you're gonna do something about it, then you've my support all the way.May I humbly suggest that you get addicted to coffee instead?

bigpoppanils Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 nathan, those smilies are scaring the shit out of me but what else is new?maudy congrats on your decsion. it takes a lot of strength to make the first step. now don't fuck it up! and stay away from that drunken lephrecahuan (sp) we all call Quoth. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gqraver Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I've taken breaks from the bottle quite a few times.Wanna clean out your system, fast for a day or two and drink nothing but water or juice.You'll feel like shit at first, but you'll get some of that blood wine out of you.Hardest part is going out with your friends and resisting. Grab a cranberry/orange juice combo or water insteaf of a drink, or for every drink you have, make sure you have a drink of water.good luckpeace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breaksny Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Wow way 2 go maudy. I can't really offer advice having never been addicted 2 anything chemically, but more power 2 u. Have faith you'll conquer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewater Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 My advice, is to learn moderation first. I tried stopping cold turkey back when i was 19, i had become abinge drinker fro a year and a half and it was no good! (hacker can attest to that, hehe he was the one that introduced me to rumpleminze and cointreau.. yikes!)anyways. stopping cold turkey was not good, i got the shakes and all that other stuff you were talking about..Straightup, learning moderation makes it easier to quit overall if thats what you are looking for....Lou () Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustaknut2001 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Get yourself to an AA meeting. Take it from me, it works. You're lucky to find out while you're still young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweece Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Originally posted by mugwump No shit!It's hard to take shit back when you damage other people'srelationships, friendships or just plain out loose respect from drunken actions you might not evenremember... Its so easy to say the next morning your sorry for your performance but sometimes the damage is already done. When you go out as much as most of us do, alot of people only know the person you are when you go out. So if when you go out you get drunk and behave all crazy, that tends to be there only opinion of you.Its very hard to rectify these things once there are done, I think that its very honorable to want to change things for yourself for the better, (I know what I am about to say is corny) but the first step is admitting you have a problem. I am not saying dont go out and enjoy yourself just learn that you have to be able to always have control and to be able to think with a clear head, I am not one to talk cause on many occasions I have gotten out of control, but you have to decide when and were, not every time is a good time to get messed up.
