Quit Alcohol - Support Thread

Last night I am sitting in a bar after going out to see the fireworks and what not. So I'm talking to this guy, and I could tell right away that this guy was not right in the head. He was also very drunk. So he starts telling me how he has no ability to feel. To me, this is a really strange thing to say, obviously.

So he decides to prove it to me, and starts punching himself in the face. Really hard. He was not playing around. The whole time he's telling me that he doesn't even feel it. My jaw is dropped. Next thing I know, he grabs a glass off the bar and smashes it over his head, and starts yelling I DON'T FEEL IT!!!!!!

I had a STRONG feeling that the next person that was getting hit was me, and I got the fuck out of there. I am done hanging out at that bar.

Yeah it was insane. He was also an incredibly large man. One of the scariest drunks I've ever seen before. Alcohol does crazy things to people, but I have a feeling that was only half of this guy's problem.

No, it was a little hole in the wall dive bar. It was me, him, and the bartender in the bar. The bartender knew him. I sat at the bar, he was at a table, and then he moved to sit next to me.

you did the right thing get the hell away from someone like that it sounds like more than alcohol was involved maybe a little pcp or fake marijuana dust who knows he might just be straight up looney tunes .not much good happens in bars anyway most of the time if its a purely drinking place .aloha cls

Yeah, I agree. I dropped a $20 on the bar, and bounced. He was either on something, or he was just out of his mind, but I did not stick around to find out.

Fake marijuana dust is K2 or the like I believe and can kill you and trips you out bad, but IS NOT WEED. Another reason to grow your own so you know its not laced with who knows what. Please... don't smoke that crap. My uncle tried to get me to smoke some recently, like he did get me try cocaine when a teenager and I got addicted for years, asshole. Some people never grow up and better left to there own misery if they won't listen. Can always pray for them or this guy from a distance while he's drunk anyway. Heard an old friend say to keep on the grass and great advice. Think I'll take it. Glad your ok and smart enough to leave. Seen so much violence in many bars and I'm all good, thanx. Even restaurants with bars can be a problem and who wants to pick up a to go order from a bar/restaurant where all the drunks stare at you and/or make nonsense conversation. If ever you do get attacked, running does work and if not an option, always fight dirty. That glass he just broke like mr tough guy would also very quickly slit him up good and seen big guys run like babys when all cut up. IF dire can always go for the throat, balls or eyes etc. Best bet is to not socialize at all at bars or frequent them period. A note on anywhere you might encounter a crook in parking lots, bars etc. If you don't carry a knife you can always use your sharpest key. Can jab in eye or do some serious damage with just a key if you know what your doing and not being afraid and aware of your surroundings. I recommend trying to cooperate always first and use as last resort and fake cry whatever to stall and get them to look away and boom. This can help women too, but could get you killed if you miss or just barely hurt them and piss them off worse, so again last resort. Honestly for women who go out alone or not I recommend a good concealed boot knife or even just a razor knife or mace at the least. My step mom just carries a beretta in her purse, but if not ready in hand and in purse still might not save you. Always happens very quick. I do recommend at night especially to walk to your car with your best key in hand. I put in palm of hand with key poked out the middle of fist. Be safe out there. One way is to not go around drinkers to begin with, but can be hard to do at times with so many that drink. All the best. peace... :tiphat: SR

hi yes I meant that phony shit with all the different names spice k2 bath salts incense what ever sold as its poison and really make people nuts .it really piss's me off they call it synthetic marijuana and thc when its not even real weed gives weed a bad name to people who do not understand they are totally different aloha cls
 
For women, if any read this. My wife said Rachael Ray has been mugged multiple times in NYC and to throw your purse far away from you and run if being mugged and not worth losing your life over. Self defense is exactly that. Using only if your being physically attacked, but only with prior training, as you might get yourself killed if not done right and you just piss him off.
I would also like to say to always be aware your surroundings and don't be afraid to look around alot and behind you etc and try not to look weak or fearful if possible. Personally if I was a women I would have a boot knife and be legally packin' and not in my purse as is what they want. Maybe a small 25 or 32 derringer in a bra holder. Yes seems extreme, but if I lived in NYC or the like, definitely. Even in the woods are crazies, Large cats, wild dogs, etc. and yeah and bears, oh my. If red had only been packin'...
peace... :tiphat: SR

Dewd,

Try and get a along without Alcohol, you can do it.

I have not had a drink since before Thanksgiving.

Get rid of all of the Alcohol in your house to start with. Stop going to bars.

The most important thing you can do is let your friends know that you are not drinking anymore.

If they are real friends, they will understand.

Trust me, you can do it.

Peace

I quit a 48.wish it were sooner.nothing but hangovers and depression for many a wasted year.
Morning dewd.When you get over the first month or so, you will be empowered by the
fact you are no longer a slave to ethanol .
Good luck.even if you relapse,never stop giving up.
Its a battle you either win or lose.
Im a winner.Winning is good.

With no offence, I like to drink for a week or two non-stop, and all is fine i am alcoholic then.

But i can stop when i tired or bored or something.

Serioius thing occurs when you are so mentaly weak that only thing u see to keep it goin.

I sugest to you all "alcoholics" to try with acid then drink just a little bit like beer or so.

Alcohol is not a problem, you are.

This is just showing your ignorance.
Mr tough guy ,eh.
