That night i realised the grog/mead gave me stomach pains! (again) didnt have much too.
Soo im back on track hopefully not much damage done :-/
Going the docs soon ive decided! a bit of inspiration if nowt else but im hoping my basket case/mis shaped stomach which has now shrunk a little will show that im now a "non drinker"
big chance of that lol

Since 16 ive been drinking vodka, never recreationally but more abusively rush drinks into me as fast as possible. Ive been blacking out and waking up with physical damage for years. Ive tried to commit suicide even. Anyways, I quit drinking April 20. While most of you were smoking copious amounts of oil and herb with friends and family, I was sitting in my moms basement drinking vodka mixed with rockstar energy. I woke up the next morning in the drunk tank, super sick and was handed an EPO (emergency protective order) protecting my mom from me. Terms are no contact, 300 feet distance and stay away from her workplaces. If I fuck up I go to Calgary remand centre. So anyways that meant I couldn't live at home, luckily I had a friend who said I could stay with her and her boys and that's where I currently am, looking for work and a room to rent.

I'm 25 and don't need to go to jail or a cell ever again.

Good luck everyone, we can do this.

Reasons why I'm quitting are I just turn into a beligerant monster. I start to get off on fear... 95% I'm an angry psychotic idiot, pulling weapons out on friends and then whining and about how lonely I am. I drunk drive or used to, on the regular. Its normal around here in a small town, to take a six pack with you as you go visit friends.. Not normal to drink a 26 of vodka and go driving..

I don't know if anyone else gets like this, every night I drink I feel like I'm on the fucking brink of snapping killing someone or myself and it feels so good to release some aggression but people are afraid of me, others mad at me, and others who won't even waste their time bc they know I'm just fuckin struggling or they think I'm nuts.. Which hurts the worst, lol. I duuuunno. Feel like charlie Manson when I drink, heh.

Thanks for the place to spew another emotional enema.

Funny, when I gave up drinking for a month or so, people noticed. They told me I looked 'sickly', just because I had lost weight just in that small amount of time. Friends were like wtf, you're weirding me out not drinking... interesting observations.

Been drinking since then, gained probably 5+lbs in a few weeks, not just from drinking though.
At this point its just a bad habit, mostly stemming from boredom, being alone etc. I can't seem to kick it, I know its unrealistic to think "ill never drink again', so I'm going back to the 1-2 a day, trying to take days off esp. during the week. Meh, I love beer what can I say, don't need to get wasted, that part gets old for sure. Just wish it didn't ruin my attempt to lose weight lol

late edit: gave up drinking = had lyme disease and had to take antibiotics for a month or so
