On the real I gotta spit A serious concern in the chat… for all the dogs… I’m worried ab my health, if you can guess where this going might need some back up

What’s wrong ?

Generally speaking that was a really strange bar… like… what do you mean by that

They aren’t 19 years old white and 85 lbs full of coke

think I’m addicted to alcohol, it got f***ed up didn’t think it was a concern until recently, gotta stop asap
Scared to go cold turkey

Damn bro best time to stop is now, just take a break from it and focus on other things

Replace coke with Kratom and you're there

What is kratom? My friend does that allt

that’s what they all say, easy to say just stop now
Got a lot going for me rn and this s*** rly got me f***ed up it’s actually scary I used to make fun of it lol

I got condemned in the beef thread for pointing it out… but seriously tho… strategically the bar was really weird.

D*** of choice for Lower East Side/Brooklyn hipsters, basically low grade fentanyl, very bad, do not do

dude this happened to me too for the last month or so

I heard it’s like heroin, I guess it could always be worse?

What you do?
It sounds like I’m joking cuz I’m always f***in around but I’m not an this lol
It’s actually sad

started with just like a glass of wine or a cocktail at night, then it turned into finishing a bottle of wine each night or 4 cocktails deep, caught myself going to bet drunk 4-5 nights out of the week and going to bed late too, made it hard to do work the next day and I was always exhausted due to it

i actually did basically quit cold turkey, maybe went from like a bottle to half to one glass but it happened in like 2 days

i actually drank today and it felt much better being able to just drink 2 while out golfing and feeling fine going home, not craving anything

what helped for me was 1. realizing a lot of the drinks i was having (wine, seltzers, etc) were causing me acid reflux and 2. sparkling water with lime/lemon, gets a similar feeling to seltzers and similar taste but much more refreshing and almost rewarding

They're all opiates (Heroin/Fent/Kratom), all extremely addictive, and all will f*** up your life. But a certain section of the population who've read David Foster Wallace choose Kratom, I'm not sure the reason other than aesthetics and a desire not to be lumped in with fly over state fentanyl addicts. Don't do d****, go for a run instead

i actually still crave it, i get home and immediately I want to grab a bottle of wine and pour a glass, but i just try to think like "why?"

i also got a new weed vape and been using that quite a bit as an alternative but this weekend tried cutting off both completely (well, drank 2 coolers today but more in a social format) and have felt so much better lmfao

also realized for me it was "hiding" other problems (mostly just exhaustion, have had a crazy couple months, nothing bad just busy w/ work, life, etc)

having a couple drinks getting tipsy gave my brain a "way out" from all the stuff stressing me out, addressing that head on first and finding more time for myself in between all the stuff going on made some of the craving go away as i didnt need to "escape" as much

Damn I wish I could help but I never liked alcohol like that. Only did it on special occasions. Stay strong bro u got this

What you mean by similar feeling with seltzers? Like regular water seltzers?

uhh like a white claw (idk if thats popular in the states)

sparkling water with lemon gives you the same vibes as a white claw or something like that but its actually healthy and refreshing, helped replace the habit a bit

that’s what I drink, truly / white claws. I gotta stop.
I tried reg seltzers

yeah it was truly and wine for me basically

but i think the biggest thing was finding the reason i was drinking as mentioned above, realizing i was using it to "escape" because i was exhausted/overwhelmed helped me just address that properly and now I crave a bit less

don’t think you ever had a serious issue tho, just a phase. I actually think I have a problem lol

The seltzers helped tho? Like the nonalcoholic ones obviously
