go to AA

You can go and not drink a beer

this

True that. Ill tell him i wont be drinking. Damn these demon People trying to make me relapse

Get alcohol free beer, take that with you.

Do you want your mommy to come hold your hand so that the big bad alcohol doesn't come to get you?

Explain to him that you dont want/cant drink now, before you are offered one.

Remember why you are keeping sober.

Don’t do this.
Your surroundings are going to kill you
Stay away until you regain yourself again.

>Not drink beers...ppsshaw
Perform a handstand and upend a beer in your rectum, faggot OP
It won't count as drinking

Bad idea. It's never completely alcohol free and WILL make him relapse.

Meditation bro if it’s something you’re into if not your going to have to realize who you can and can’t hang with. I used to be one I just started being alone it led me here wouldn’t have it any other way I don’t even think about alcohol or my bad habits I think about 4 Chan honestly lol

No. Just don't go.
Now go take a 2 mile run to clear your head.

You’re going to relapse if you go. You are going to die a very painful death at a young age. Do not go.

Kratom can actually help you detox booz, worked for my brother. I wouldn't recommend taking it regularly outside of this, but it does work.

Seriously don't hang out and drink beer. You will feel like absolute shit the day after and might just say fuck it and contribute. Just relapsed 2 days ago because of some whore I used to fuck

I went to AA, got my spiritual life and thinking back on track. And I met a rich jewish guy that eventually became my business mentor/ AA mentor there.

Biz/ protip: If you go to AA go to the meetings in the rich part of town. Its great for networking!

>alcoholic
>2 years

Try 20 years before crying about it.

Im in your boat OP. You gotta accept if you drink its over and youll be on a bender for a few weeks then youre back to square 1. you cant even have 1 drink ever. itll make your brain forget what youre working towards and the rational part of the brain dies. so you keep drinking until you crash and spend a week or two away from it and start again

in other words you gotta never drink again. sounds bad but if you can tackle the reason why you drank to excess in the first place it wont be so bad. I.e. I started drinking heavy because of loneliness (living alone) and feeling like I cant socialise adequately sober. So I need to fix my anxiety and my loneliness. Getting a roommate would probs help tackle both at once. thats my plan. Whats yours?

Alcoholic here.
You are making this thread because the booze part of your brain needs validation for relapsing. The chances of you drinking on the trip are near 100%.
If you are serious about getting sober, tell your friend outright you don’t want to drink, or make up and excuse to delay the trip. Otherwise you are boned.
Two years drinking is still pretty early on the boozer scale, so you definitely have time to dig yourself out. But be warned — if you have trouble stopping then you have a drinking problem, and it gets a hell of a lot worse the more you keep drinking.

I bailed on a christmas party with friends I love dearly because I had just come out of rehab on thanksgiving and didn't want to risk drinking. It's totally okay to do that OP, or to insist on your friend not bringing alcohol camping. You'll get through it man don't give up, just commit to it.

If you drink lots your body is missing essential vitamins. Take B12 supplements, drink lots of water, force yourself to do exercise even if you feel sick. Don't fucking drink (((alcohol))) ever again. Life is short become a man you respect, your past is done. Weak men will get fucked by what is coming down the pipe get strong for yourself and your loved ones.

Inform your friends you are a recovering alcoholic. If you can, buy some mushrooms and take those instead. When I was recovering from alcohol mushrooms were great at making me not want to drink. Also they’re perfect for camping except if you have to shit.

You dont need friends like that, stay clean champ, you can do it, I believe in you.

Literally just make up an excuse to not go and tell them youre an alcoholic in early recovery. thats the only way to get out of this mess

if OP has been drinking nonstop for 2 years, presumably alone, he will certainly drink with a friend when stressors are 10x higher. he will definitely drink

the only answer is to keep drinking and go on the trip or tell him no and maybe in like 6 mnth when hes 'clean' and knwos he can resist stressors of life sober.

This is shitty. Just be real with people. Alcoholism leads to enough denial and shitty behavior. No one should feel stigmatized for drinking, especially during this pandemic. Camping is a great way to get away from alcohol, desu. Mushrooms are fun and everything is easier with support from friends.

I'm not saying you should drink on the trip, but if you end up slipping in a moment of weakness, don't let it throw you off track. Just get back on course.

Oh yeah and the Kratom user is right. Bring mushrooms and Kratom. Way fucking better than booze for camping.

??? If you are saying im shitty you can unironically fuck off. Im an alcoholic I know how alcoholics think

Theres no way OP would stay sober if theres any alcohol in the vicinity of 20 minute walk or a drive away if hes driving.

I had my friend over a week ago after being sober for 3 weeks and I walked 40 minutes both ways to buy some booze in the night. I can see OP doing the same if hes not careful.

r/stopdrinking is one of the better subreddits
