I drink too much and too often. I have lost total control and I am completely addicted. It sucks because I used to like it...but now it in controll of me. Its poison and it is expensive. It gets me nowhere. After I was arested for drunk driving 2 years ago I had to go to AA and they somed up my problem like this. One beer is too many and 12 is never enough.

I am a functional alchoholic. I do not get hangovers too often ,I can drink a lot and often. I do not miss work or family funcions functions. and I do not act retarded when drinking, I am not violent, or verbally abusive.

I do not drink to avoid problems, I do not drink because of internal pain. I just like the feeling of being drunk.I drink like a pirate, A lot at one time. I know i can drink over a 1/5 of anything and do it again the next day..and the next day. and the next day for weeks and months on end. I am tired.I am week. I have lost ontrol. I have been drinking for 10+ years almost every day. It is time for me to stop drinking for a while if not all together, I only post this here so Kato can dog me if I fail so you guys can beat me up too. lol

I would never do that to you

I would do it to you? lol

I know that's why you are Bzob and I am Kato ;)

I feel your pain bzob. I have been struggling with alcoholism since I was 16. We will get through this together, and then get drunk to celebrate! Honestly, I am never going to give up drinking completely, not in the forseeable future. So i have been limiting myself to some days off, and special occasions. Like the superbowl, and I got a snowday so I drank a fifth of evan williams to celebrate that. How I differ is I use it to run from problems some times, but I do just love to be drunk, its my favorite feeling, I have given up every other drug except for alcohol, so I have definately made progress. I am supporting you 100% Quit if you want, or dont drink til the 4th of july when we end up in windsor. I am wanting to get banned from canada, I think I will get sloshed, get a stripper and wipe my ass with the canadian flag in a public park. See bro? We have a future.

Bold of you to admit this to yourself, Bob.... big first step right there in admitting the problem and clearly outlining it for yourself.

Same ****in way I woke up one morning and decided I didn't want to smoke anymore. Same ethic. I liked the feeling of smoking. I liked how it relaxed me, I liked how easily it fit into my life. What a difference a day makes...

i used to be like that man.i was just a beer drinker.i'd hit 12-15 every night for i don't know how many years.i met my wife and i just stopped.i went about 2 weeks ago and bought a 12 pack and i still have all 12 in the fridge.no desire to even open 1 up.i think i am afraid that if i crack one, i will pound thm all and then it is right back to the same old ways

I just need to get some clearity and to seperate myself from it for a while.

I will still smoke weed. Weed makes me happy. And it is not hard to wake up the next morning after smoking a joint.

You probably will pick up where you left off.


Ghost- I quit smoking too... But the only time i would breakdown was if i was drunk and someone that smokes was with me. other than that I have gotten over smoking 99%

well bzob, in all seriousness, i'm glad you recognize that you have a major problem. i wish you the very best in cleaning up and you have my support 100%

i've got the same problem too man. haven't been binging that long but for the last 3 years i've been getting hammied almost every night. i know i have a problem and my family has a history of destroying itself due to alcohol. my dad spent 3 years in prison for getting 5 dui's in one ****ing year.

i hope to clean up myself very shortly and, once again, wish you the best of luck w/ everything.

I did the opposite I gave up the weed and now I just drink, I dont drink everynight like you but I get drunk atleast 3 times a week, quitting drinking can only improve your health and awareness, good luck Bzob.....

Thank you all for the support. Especially you Kato

i think if it had not been for my iwfe, i would still be on a bender.same way with me about work and all that ****.i could get plastered and then make it to work no problem.
i think i justified it cause i rarely went to the bars.i would drink alone and at my house.
maybe i'll toss the beers out.i don't have urges but it would be nice to kick back and drink one every now and then.i just don't want it to turn into 12 you know.
good luck bzob

Id like to take a moment to thank my inspiration for trying to treat myself better and others. Thanks Bella!


*This post will help me get laid. Guys, take notes.

Seems like we all have the same issues to deal with. I often think to myself that I drink too much, so like Waylander, I've tried to "take nights off" occasionly. I'm not going to stop smoking pot any time soon, but I'd also like to cut back on my use of prescription meds.

i'm glad i can't smoke pot anymore. **** gets me too paranoid. sometimes i'll help people hook it up and they pinch me out a gram for the trouble. i'm like "gee thanks."

happened on saturday night. so i took the gram and traded it to some stoner at the bar in exchange for 5 hefenwiezens.

once again bzob, you've got our support. if you can make it through this, i have a feeling that a lot of us will be wanting to follow in your footsteps....

Thats me to a tee. I drink alone and at home, never realy go to bars (because it would cost me 150.00 to get drunk with strangers) and I generally start in the evening after the kids go to bed

me too man.when i lived with my boy, he never even saw me take a sip of beer.he'd go to bed and i would get drunk and just hang out alone, or with the ex cause we were together at the time

Bzob = God, and God can do anything.

Good luck Bzob...it is a hard thing to shake...but it can be done.

I use to drink a ****load, not everynight, but would binge probably 2-3 nights a week. It is the damn Army's fault, they made it all so damn accessible. If we weren't away, we were either drinking, playing rugby then drinking, or counting down the hours till the free keg started.

When I first got out I was drinkning 5 nights a week till I was pretty messy, could drink 12 beers easy with no effects, but that wasn't enough, had to go the extra mile and get completely smashed.

But then I just said enough is enough and now I may drink once every few months...still gets messy, but not nearly as often. My liver thanks me often

You are my hero. I want to be just like you. My liver needs a vacation big time
