Buy bottle water and organic food , completely switch it around , buy vitamin tabs b12 + calcium. maybe treat yourself to other things. buy one of the things you've always wanted with the saved money. hot bath every night , keep occupied. throw out all bottles of beer and cans. drink lots of water. 2 litres a day , aprox 50p in bottle water calidonian or highland spring. flush your body out with water. eat very well. |

bottle of red wine a night |

Dude don't buy bottled water, tap water is perfectly drinkable and you won't have to waste (and ingest traces of) plastic. |

I'm pretty wasted now, but I can't imagine being an alcoholic. But I can imagine being a super stoner. Or at least a moderate stoner. Or I have been a stoner. I haven't been drunk in ages, but now I am remembering that the retarded nature of alcohol is fucked. Dyaaamn, I'm farked. Weed is loverly, though. The cure for alcoholism is quality ganj, yo. |
||||||||

|

|
|
ok thats not so bad right? Maybe try to reduce it to a half bottle and you're perfectly healthy again |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
only drink at weekends don't drink on your own dont get wasted every time you drink |
||||||||

the attitude to tap water in western countries is appalling. |

a bottle of red a night doesnt make you an alcoholic, carry on as you are sir. |

A bottle a day keeps the family therapist away! |

enjoy some activities that dont work as good with a bottle of red intus, so it makes sense to not drink, like reading for example. i dont think its too good to have one bottle every evening. people i know who do drink amounts like that after work dont cope too well and it doesnt make them happy either. just think of some fun things you could do without it .-) so dont spoil alcohol for yourself by abusing it too much. |

About a week ago I managed to go 3 days without drinking. Then I drank for 4 days in a row. I didn't drink yesterday and I am hoping I don't drink again today. I have gone back and forth about whether or not I should drink at weekends (with people), without always drinking to get drunk but I don't know if I have that kind of self-control. I feel like it's one of those things that I need to just stop in its entirety. I mean the fact that I should have to think of it like this and note the days I haven't had a drink shows me I have a bit of a problem. |

Also I agree with griffin, bottled water is lame. I only ever drink tap unless I desperately need a drink of water from a shop. |
||||||||

you don't have to be an alcoholic to be a problem drinker |

friend of mine who drank every night quit for a whole year. prolly was easier to deal with it than drinking occasionally in between. he was able to enjoy drinking on weekends after that again, but began drinking alone about 5 years later again. i think if he led another life he wouldnt have fallen back to it. |
||||||||

i don't think drinking a bottle of red wine every night makes you an alcoholic, though it doesn't mean it's okay either. |

A bottle a day? Supposed to cut heart disease, but increases chances of cancer and liver damage. It's also an extra 4000 calories a week, so you might end up a fat fuck. |

subtle diff4rence between binge drinking and addicti0n imo |
||||||||
|

I heart red wine helps prevent cancer. Watched a TED video on it and everything. |
||||||||

Only when you drink max 2 glasses a day |

As crazyhorse says, in moderation razor, in moderation. It's like red meat, under 500g a week, a good source of protein, a lot more often and it's cancer of the anus! |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
what?! what did you say?!! cancer of the anus?!!!! |
||||||||
|
|

Cancer of the poop hole, in layman's terms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
While I love the idea of moderation, I simply cannot do it. It's basically no booze or cancer of the poop hole for me. |
||||||||

oh i see gaping hole anal ass you mean |

Binging is worse than regular drinking in general. Good luck kicking it for good Razor, I am rooting for you! :) |

I'm gonna celebrate my 7000th post with a glas of wine :-) |

I quite like a drink, I must be honest. |

How old are you? Are you living on your own, roommate, single, dating, married? A bottle of red a night could be considered almost normal for a privileged American college student, while it is almost certainly a sign of alcoholism for a 40yr old unemployed man with three children. It's all about priorities - and context. |

for a while i was drinking 2 bottles of beer almost every night. then i started gaining weight. i was slightly underweight before so i wasn't fat. however, being able to observe how i grow a beer-gut and how my face becomes more and more like an amoprhic fat mass, made me stop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you ever lose the fat face? A lot of people have told me that even after losing weight their fat face remained. Now I call them my fat-faced friend. |

i have tried to quit. been successful in a couple of attempts at a month of weekends only, which ended with me going back to regularity. then i have gone an entire month without a couple of times but to revert back to set ways. i hate my drinking, and yet rely on it as a form of escapism/entertainment/numbing from the banality of life. much like a few different drug choices of my past. my self loathing and boredom drive my excuses for not continiuing going without, when really i know it is holding me back from focusing on what i really desire. it is a part time momentary fix for every and any problem. i never started drinking regular until i was 27, and like my cause for drinking, my cure will likely be to find yet another substitute, for the same reasons, that damages me just as much. i am cunt. |

Move to Ireland. We dont care over here. |

in a world like this, i feel the necessity. also, im from denmark, which makes it normal. |
||||||||
|
|

The Irish also have major economic imbalances... |

2 days done already! let's hope i can hold it together tonight |

I was gonna recommend that you celebrate with a drink, but then I realized that the joke might push you over the edge and into binge drinking of fury. And then you would blame me for unleashing the föckin' fury. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol I actually thought of that joke earlier in my head "well done mate you have gone 2 days without drinking, why not celebrate with a nice big glass of red wine?!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mentioned water cause it is what you body needs to heal and also going to the shop to buy a bottle of water is a good substitute. but tap water is o.k for you too. if you can enjoy water. knowing it is healing you , 1.5 litres a day you'll feel so much better,. your skin will improve and show you that it really is a good thing. |

i'm not cabable right now. |

good job. But i think you can have a drink in the weekends though..life is to boring without a drink once in a while. |
||||||||
|
|

I havn't had a drink in 1 year and 2 months. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this thread made me hunger for wine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how's life without the bottle? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's great. No waking up in jail cells. Losing belongings, jobs, loved ones, etc. I had a choice to quit drinking or die. It's the hardest thing I ever done but it was worth it to get my life back. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway, hope everything goes well. |
