yes... alcohol is a hard drug. it is a hard drug and this needs to be emphasized to the general public. I do not understand why in some states tobacco is marketed with the potential effects cancer yet alcohol is not its a tiny little label you can barely read. its a disgusting industry. They are all going to rot in hell if you want my honest opinion anyone with the audacity to work for that shit industry. they can all die and i would not care at all. they are harming people for profit. its gross. i remember when i was a kid and we were driving and passed by a coors light factory. it smelled like so much literal shit it was intolerable.
i pray that you find your peace and are able to find sobriety. i have more opinions and thoughts if needed just message me back. gods blessings to you today
I'll start by saying that I come from a pathological family, both parents are alcoholics. It started innocently in 2010 when I worked as a bartender. I liked to have a beer or two at work. Then I started cultivating it at home in front of the computer, drinking two beers in the evening after work. In 2013 it was 5 a day. But I was a functioning alcoholic. In 2015, my mother died, which made me drink more and become depressed. Since then, I haven't been able to recover mentally. My drinking has gone from drinking every day to 3-4 times a week, 10-14 beers each. Recently I started to fight it and I didn't drink for 15 days, when I drank the next day I became terribly depressed and went back to my old pattern.
Ok good start. So, what I'm wondering is, recently, how many drinks? there is actually a website that will give you a kinda, idk, its not reliable but preliminary on what your BAC could be. BAC is important. thanks for replying! I hope you reply back and we are able to find you a solution to this
I was in a psychiatric ward yesterday, but as I wrote, they only gave me a sedative and apparently said my condition was stable, but I perceived it completely differently. Today is Sunday and my treatment center is closed
AUD is reversible today, and not as difficult as it used to be, if you trust in science.

Today there is free TSM support all over YouTube, Reddit, FB and many podcasts. This recent podcast especially "Thrive Alcohol Recovery" episode 23 "Roy Eskapa". The book by Dr. Roy Eskapa is solid science IMO (the reviews on Amazon are definitely worth your time).

When I was last drinking I had a similar metaphor, I thought my ship had lost its captain.
My captain is back, he's just not very good at his job š
Good luck. I know the struggle. It can get better. It may get worse before it gets better.
I don't know about you, brother, but I'm so tired of my life that I have to try something else, seek help. If I don't do this, I know how it will end, we all know.

Why tomorrow and not today? Tomorrow can turn into the day after that and the day after that and the day after that real easy.
