CE mainly supports alcoholism itself, which might not be the best form of encouragement in this situation.

Do be honest with you all I dont really intend to stop. At this point vodka is the only friend I have left. It makes me happy when the skies are grey.

Agreed, don't seek help or advice from the folks, including myself, in the ongoing drinking thread. We like to drink, and don't really intend on stopping either. Nothing constructive will come of it if you intend on trying to quit.

Some users like @metallica846 are good people to look to who have recovered and offer support frequently. He's a good dude.

You do you bro.

But you won't be able to keep this up forever. I'd advise you to start thinking about what you're gonna do when the day comes it's either stop or live in the gutter.

Ain't worth tossing your life in the bottle. You don't have to stop cold turkey. Try and tone it down a little eh? Good luck.

Well, if you can't stop, then there's a problem. Whether you want to address that is your own decision, but there are literally daily meetings of people who are trying to stop if you'd want to try going to one of those.

This is a very depressing side of CE tbh. When I see someone ask what they should do about real life problems and the first post is "drink', hurts my soul. There are people here who want to spread their pain and woes to as many possible.

If I want my skies to be colored something other than grey, I don't turn to the bottle, I put on my sunglasses with Oakley's Prizm Sapphire Polarized lenses (which are currently going through a prescription update ).

Ive got an older friend in his 40s that lost a relationship because she wanted him to give up his alcoholic lifestyle and move to her state. His explanation to me was that she wanted him to be something he wasnt, and that he was okay with accepting that.

He did eventually quit drinking after a third DUI, a stint in jail, and losing his job. I hope he can remain sober, because theres no moderation when addiction is that bad.

Im completely sympathetic to people struggling with addiction, I have my own. What I don't sympathize with is addicts trying to drag down everyone with them. That's just a shitty personality trait that would be there regardless of if that person was an addict or not. They can blame the drug, but there are plenty of drug addicts that will use their life as a warning and not an invitation.

I don't get the correlation. You'd have to walk me through that one.

When youre an alcoholic, a drink feels like the solution to everything

Ah. Like I said, I have my own addiction. So I know exactly what you mean. I actively try to fight against it. The fight never ends but it can be minimized.

I do believe that alcohol is far more of a struggle than my opioid addiction. But like I said, this is more so about pulling others down with you. Being an addict isn't attached to being a bad person, as much as some believe it is. Wanting others to suffer from the same things that you struggle with, the verdict is still out of that one. I'd never tell someone to deal with there problems with opioids. Especially not as the very first suggestion. That's just a garbage thing to do.

You are still sad you are just doing things to not feel it. I'm an addict and have gone back and forth between different things but that is always how it ends up. You feel shitty so you get fucked up to not feel it but it doesn't change anything or improve your situation.

You have to figure out why you are sad and work on that and stop drinking because that is just hurting you and other people and not solving your problems.
