Hope you get off this crazy ride soon. Your very familiar with all the options and methods out their so telling you about them won't help. Have some self respect man! You can pull yourself out of this. It gives me pain just reading it cause I know the redundant struggle oh to well. I hope you figure this thing out.
Your posts always made me smile with the unconventional angle you take on things. Maybe you need to come up with a new angle on life.
Get Well!

As of now I have ate a little and found my vape pen (yay). There are 2 more 12oz beers (geez, these things are tiny) in the fridge and the wife has the car and all the money til 4 . No vodka today (another yay).... I'm getting there....

I'm sending you my best wishes and hope you can find the strength to climb back on the horse. I had over 2 years and it took me 3 years to come back properly. I hope it doesn't take you the length of time it took me.

Maybe you just need to bite the bullet and check into detox for a couple of days. Your way obviously isn't working this time around.

Wow. I wouldn't want to go through quitting again ever.
Not sure why you continue to want to be miserable and beat yourself up, but I hope you find your way back.
You have the power to save your own life. You have to do it, no one else can do it for you

I mean...what real alcoholic does THAT? I may be drinking for a little head change but at this stage of the game it's about being able to function. Are we even from the same planet? I absolutely abhor being physically dependent but this IS a very serious condition. Telling someone to "pour it out" is the most irresponsible thing I've ever heard one alcoholic tell another. Death from immediate cessation is a very real thing that happens to us older folks that have drank for 10+ yrs. We're not talking about a 16 yr. old or to be real---even one of the twenty-somethings that come here complaining of a bump in the road due to some heavy partying. Are you folks even real?
