500 bad things posted:Just imagine how many avatars you could buy if you quit drinking I have an app on my phone called SoberTool or something. It keeps track of how much you would be spending on booze based on your habits. In one month, I saved hundreds of dollars. Mind you, this isn't going out to bars. You guys should get the app and see how much money you are pouring into your liver. It's kind of eye opening.

How it Works Also, be nice to yourself. One technique for anxiety is just to pretend that whatever it is worrying you is definitely true, and how will you deal with it? Oh, she definitely killed herself and it's definitely my fault? Well, I'll probably find a therapist and talk about it and eventually believe it's not my fault or at least I won't kill myself too or whatever and someone will still love me one day. Oh, I definitely have AIDS/herpes/whatever? Well, people get AIDS. So I have AIDS now. So I take AIDS medicine and talk to other AIDS people about how AIDS sucks and one day I die from it but everyone dies from something eventually so whatever it's just AIDS. Anxiety is brutal. If you live somewhere with affordable/accessible psychiatrists, speak to one. That said, it's basically impossible to diagnose someone in active addiction, and alcohol/drugs do not play nice with psych meds. There's links in an E/N sticky about crisis helplines. Maybe bookmark them while you don't feel like using them. Anxiety can be more dangerous than depression. Depression suffocates you; anxiety attacks you. --- Online AA meetings if you live somewhere that IRL AA is inconvenient. But if you just call your area's Intergroup usually someone is able to pick you up and drive you to a meeting.

AA is terrible. It literally says that you are a piece of poo poo and you have no control over your addiction and only god can help you. SMART Recovery is good. It actually uses..... science. CBT mostly. It also works for literally anything. You have an addiction to loving lizards? Well, the SMART program still works. I hate AA with a passion.

Last week, at a bar, I admitted to my buddy, who has an iPhone, that I'm an alcoholic. YouTube has served me 90% beer/liquor commercials since. Sometimes I hate the goddamned future.

Oh yeah, and my VA benefits are up for review a year early because I tried to get help but haven't followed through yet because I accidentally moved into this tax section 42 building populated with invalids, poors, and heroin dealers after being homeless for nearly a month and a half because I couldn't decide where I wanted to live and the new girl I was working with through management never does her job and I can't get a job because I almost make too much money to live here and

It's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. poo poo works for some people. edit: myDad posted:Hell, it stopped me from loving lizards I was joking about the whole lizard loving thing. It's not a problem so there is no need for recovery.

unpleasantly turgid posted:Weed is better, but it comes with its own cons for sure. Yeah like making you eat literally everything in sight causing you to become a fat piece of poo poo, oh and destroying short term memory. I haven't smoked in 3 weeks but still frequently forget what I was doing 5 seconds ago. It sucks.

Chlamyllionaire posted:Sobriety gives me a migraine. You got anythin for that? i get those for about 2 weeks after a period of heavy drinking. i haven't found anything to make them go away once they're started but sometimes i can prevent them by taking ibuprofen immediately when I feel one coming on. mine disappear completely after a couple weeks though OctoberBlues posted:I posted this in some other thread but last year I was thinking maybe I was drinking too much so I went three months with no alcohol/tobacco/weed and it did absolutely nothing. I didn't sleep better, I didn't lose weight, I didn't feel happier. if you're drinking heavy it can take 6 months-a year to feel "normal", but if you're eating garbage/gaining weight/not exercising you're going to feel like poo poo anyway.

edit: ^^^ Swear to god, along with what I said below, that was one one of the reasons I stopped then. I was just too loving depressed to drink. Although now I'm too depressed to stop. Meds might finally be kicking in though so I'll try stopping in a day or so again. The last time I quit (before I got Naltrexone), my biggest motivator was coming out of the shower and seeing myself in a mirror and getting even more depressed seeing a fat piece of poo poo. During the month when I didn't drink my face immediately thinned out and I lost a few pounds. I suggest looking at your sad disgusting amorphous body in a mirror. It can't hurt! Well, you can just drink right through the sadness and not give a poo poo. It can hurt, but it works!

Try hanging out with drunk people while completely sober. If that doesn't make you not wanna drink, I don't know what will.

For me the effect runs the opposite direction - in my heaviest years of drinking I shed weight to the point of being unhealthily underweight. Took a while after quitting to get up to a normal weight again afterward.

He might not know any better - no telling how much experience he has in dealing with recovery issues. AA has been so successful in terms of capturing the public imagination as the go-to for recovery that it might have been largely unconscious on his part. I'd do some searches in your area and see if there are any other alternatives available locally.

I ususally just go sober for a month's time here and there whenever i feel like i'm becoming an alcoholic it sucks and isn't worth it, but i do get to act smug and superior to other alcoholics also since trump's become "president" i can't muster to courage to be sober
