TFW 20 year old alcoholic

iktf bro, but i'm 26. i used to be Yas Forums five years ago but my life went to hell and i became a skinnyfat, chain-smoking alcoholic. decided to get Yas Forums again to recover, we're all gonna make it bro

it's an addiction. just try imagining wanting vodka in the same way you want food, water, sleep and sex

I'm just bored.
Switching to pot made things more entertaining, but I have still nothing to spend my sobriety doing

Stop buying large amounts of alcohol and seriously try to get help.
Reduce dosage gradually until you find you can go without it.
It took a while for me to kick the habit and I still don't buy alcohol because I don't want to relapse.
Personally I also used alcohol as a coping mechanism which took developing some healthier habits (such as lifting, sports and actually talking to people)

Its not worth it user

Every so called 20 year old alcoholic I've encountered turns out to just hit it hard on the weekend and some nights of the week.

Come back when you're drinking for breakfast

Been there, after the first year of college.

The only way is not to drink at all, not even a beer, i told my friends i was staying sober for athletic reasons (getting on a roster).

Really getting into gymbro culture helped me, like in a stupid way with chugging bcaa and shit all day.

and tea somehow as a go-to beverage at night and other times when i would drink alcohol else but maybe thats just me.

this but instead of alcohol it’s wanking and watching porn. how to stop?

>I've never seen one so it doesn't exist

Holy fuck bro, are you me

I found out i have a gene that makes alcohol kill my liver 3x faster than normal
Since then havent drank
Been 2 months i don't miss it anymore

It's literally just a habit. Dont drink a few weeks you'll find you dont even miss it.

Go to an AA meeting or something, chances are you won't be able to stop on your own, so don't waste a decade or two trying to. Quit properly the first time.

Lucky bastards you fat fucking burgers. I'm in Europe 20yo living with my family in a small apartment and going to uni. I'd take a loan out and live by myself like you burgers can do. Can't even go for a cheeky smoke every now and then without being paranoid that my family finds out. Then when I do, someone has to be fucking calling or messaging in the middle of the smoking. Seriously it's like god is trying to piss me off. Fuck being poor, LINK do your fucking job and get to $20 already.

Fuck AA. They're all miserable, and quitting alcohol becomes their entire identity. I have an aunt who has gone to three meetings a day for 25 years and she's a wreck. I've been to meetings and all they did was depress me and make me want to drink.
Read easy way by Alan Carr. I quit after ten years of very heavy drinking and i don't even miss it. I have beer in my house for guests and i have no desire to touch it. Being sober is really life changing. Good luck!

>this

If you're able to keep your shit together during the week but go hard one or two nights a week, you don't have an issue. Be productive during the week, prioritize your shit, and stay disciplined and you'll be fine. It's when you start drinking during on nights during the week, on your lunch hour, etc. that it starts to be a problem. View booze as a reward and focus on your gainz and you'll be fine.

>food, water, sleep and sex
Those typically don't make me feel like shit after I consume them.

>never drink once in my life from 0-18
>drink and party in college 18-22
>alcoholic (every day drunk)22-25
>clean up, lose weight, still hate myself, manageable drinking 25-27
>life goes south, opiofds during the day, alcoholic at night, +40 lbs, 28-29
>stop hating myself, kick opiod habit (thanks kratom), stop drinking, get fit, finally got to where I want to be in life, turned everything around, 29-30

what a wild ride my life has been
I'm the happiest I've ever been
All the money I used to spend on booze and drugs, now I save and buy myself a nice bottle of tequila (pasote is my current love) or rum (scotch here and there too) which I drink not to get drunk

What I learned is alcoholism is an escape and a way for your brain to occupy itself instead of dealing with something you don't want to, whether that's a particular situation or depression/anxiety/etc
And then it turns into a habit, and habits are powerful and hard to break. So then you are doubly needing to:
1) break a habit,
2) deal with the withdrawal,
3) face what you are trying not to face,

all at the same time. Difficult. Worth it.

I kicked it at 24
we're all gonna make it zoomerbro

This. Everything is a choice, no one put a gun to your head and a bottle to your mouth. I swear people create problems out of nothing because they're so boring and mundane, this is pure weakness, NPC's at best.

proud of you user keep it up!

get the fuck out of Yas Forums you fucking faggot

Having a alcohol problem sucks.
Most of the time i do not even forget them which makes it worse.

here is a list:

>Am invited to a party of my brothers' friends, get in to a fight with my brother screaming at him in public.
>Getting in fights with strangers in snackbars after going to bars
>flirting with women from my university who i attend class with whilst i have a gf
>Friend barged in to a girls room in which i layed naked draging me out of her bed shouting at me that i have a gf and that i should go home
>throwing bottles on the ground at a friends party thinking it was funny
>talking about beeing depressed (exaggerating a lot) with strangers and people whom i barly know

way more stuff but i do not want to be to specific
I think fights with friends suck the most though.

just don't smoke it is bad for you

Good. Don't do that, shithead

>cheeky smoke
what is cheeky and how can a smoking session be cheeky

All you can really do is ride it out OP. Hopefully it gets bad enough that you die or get your hand forced. I really hope you do not become one of those people who spends their entire life complaining about being an alcoholic. Or maybe you will get lucky and have an epiphany before that point. Life is not worth living in that middle ground. Imagine going to AA or some group therapy the rest of your life listening to a bunch of sob stories about something that is not real while perpetually being on and off the wagon. I dont know how those people dont all blow their brains out by the time they reach 30. You have to realize that addiction is not real. They wont tell you that though and most of them will laugh at you or get offended if you tell them that. Try not to retaliate. They are simply brainwashed. It is completely made up so people can blame their problems on something that is not real. They will use some pseudoscience bullshit to try and prove it is real but it is not. Sure you can be physically dependent on alcohol but you recover from that quickly. The mental and psychological aspect of addiction is complete bullshit. They always love to talk about how you can become addicted to anything. You know what that means? You cant be addicted to anything. Addiction is not fucking real. Stop being delusional and or lying to yourself and stop drinking. Go see a doctor if you are really fucked up mentally. Just be careful and do your own research and have an agenda. If you dont have an agenda they are of no use and may even make you worse. They will simply keep you in their rotation while trying a bunch of different medications and justify whatever bullshit you spew to them and yourself. The reality is a lot of them dont care about you outside of you paying them. In fact a lot of them would prefer you dont get better. You need to get pissed off OP. It really doesnt matter about what. Get pissed off that you got dealt a shit hand and deal with it.

>23
>never been drunk or drank excessively
>never done drugs
>never been to a party, club or bar
>not even religious

Just stop living in or going to places with easy access to alcohol, retard. It should be easy with the quarantine. Cut out all relationships that aren't immediate family and never leave your house.

ask me how I know you're black

You're lucky as fuck. Why? Because you've clearly got enough self-awareness to realise this is a problem now at such a young age.

Mark my fucking words, continue going down this route and you'll keep on going downhill to a point which is very difficult to return from.

Either quit alcohol completely now or set yourself a date in a few months time when you will allow yourself a drink after being sober for a while. It's not easy but you will ultimately realise this is the best for yourself.

Hope things go all good, best of luck

>alcohol
I don't get it
Tastes like shit and your body instantly tries to reject when you first start drinking because it's literal poison
Makes you think and act like a retard
Feel like shit afterwards
Ruins your looks and health
Lowers your iq if you drink extensively before 25
Expensive
Smells disgusting
Makes you vomit
I get some other drugs but alcohol? Nope
t. 22 year old who decided to stop drinking at parties at 19 because I just don't like it and was only doing it to fit in. I have like one beer a year now

Just don’t quit and relapse constantly. Look up kindling. You don’t want it. I was an alcoholic at 18 and quit cold turkey on my 25th birthday. Had two weeks of terrible withdraws and then it subsided, started exercising regularly and I don’t even crave it anymore. Can have a couple drinks without a problem now. Yes it’s hard sometimes but it’s worth it to not have the shakes and dependency. Plus now I can deal with my problems like an adult instead of avoiding them with the sauce.

Literally, feels good man

Good post/novel

>Alcohol-related liver cirrhosis used to be considered a disease that would happen after 30 years of heavy alcohol consumption," Shah says. "But this study is showing that these problems are actually occurring in individuals in their 20s and 30s." ... We're seeing younger and younger patients with alcoholic liver disease."
stop now, cirrhosis is not likely reversible and does not give symptoms until it is likely too late.

>typically don't make me feel like shit
it takes practice. you'll get to a point where you can drink a litre of vodka a night without pain the next day

>tfw fallen into a 5/7 system where five months a year i'm completely sober and work out daily and seven months a year i'm drinking almost daily and don't work out at all

AA has literally worse success rate than just deciding to quit.

just get kratom like me and thousands of others. 4 months of kratom and a year later and I'm clean.

don't fucking bump this shitty ass thread. if it dies, it dies, this is not fucking fitness anyways.

get kratom.
