In the past months I have found myself sneaking off to the liquor cabinet on an almost nightly basis to get a nightcap. It's a terrible habit, and I'm sure that if it's carried on for long enough it will result in an alcoholism that is nigh-impossible to stop. I want to nip it in the bud. Comrades, what do?

went to the free-clinic for a drinking problem and they gave me some pills to help wean off it. they give you the relief of having a drink. cheap pills too only like 30 bucks
Luke King
Drinking a little bit to sleep at night isn't actually that bad. Just restrain yourself so you don't get drunk every night.
Leo Turner
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or find another way to get high like weed. Some people say LSD/mushrooms/mescaline/DMT help them kick the habit but I've never tried and can't confirm. There's also a pill you can take before you drink that prevents excess cravings.
Nicholas Howard
What is the name of the pill? I suspect the pill itself is also addictive, isn't it?
I will be of legal weed-buying age in September, so I guess it's not a bad idea. CBT, well I've been looking to get CBT for my depression for half a year now and it seems like mental health services in my town are dried up to hell.
Aiden Gray
Not them but there is actually a drug restricted under psychotropic laws that can cure addiction, it's a non-hallucinogenic form of LSD called LSDb. Dunno if it's available on the darknet.
Tyler Garcia
Retard.
Aiden Howard
Rude. People used to take a shot or two to go to sleep comfy for hundreds of years.
Jace Lewis
nah, Oxazepam. its this
if anything I try to avoid drinking just to avoid taking it. only side effect i get is some nightmares when you come off it. goes away though.
couple months back I also got something to help with quitting smoking, pills work!
Andrew Rivera
i think binge drinking once a month is better for your liver than having a beer a day. your liver needs recovery time
Wyatt Peterson
Oh, "people" did that? Guess I was wrong and becoming an alcoholic is actually a good thing.

This looks unpleasant.
People also used to treat coughs with heroin, lethargy with cocaine, and "female hysteria" with genital douching. Maybe let's not be too attached to the "ways of the past".

Get some "babicka" brand vodka, and keep a notebook by your bed to record any interesting dreams. (Babicka contains wormwood, the mild hallucinagen also found in absinthe.) Once you have a dream record, you can rework it into short stories, artworks, or whatever you want. The artist Henry Fuseli was said to have eaten undercooked meat, to get the same effect. Stick to one nightcap only. But you do need some vices, and one nightcap is a lot better than late night Internet porn trawls or whatever
Wyatt Nelson
I'm looking to avoid alcoholism, not find creative ways of applying it to the making of poetry.
For your information, my late night internet porn trawls have zero risk of causing me liver damage or DTs.
Michael Taylor
May or may not work for you, but I always find jacking off in bed helps tire me out and help me sleep. Worth a try eh?
Jack Jackson
Mix the pills with the vodka. Trust me. Just dont over do it.
Cameron Moore
Pick one.
Landon Nguyen
I just picked stalin flag because it reminds me most of Freddie Mercury's mustache. My fap sessions are legendary.
Ryan Martinez
all government health ministries say the opposite. the average liver can fully process the daily drink but not the occasional binge drink.
thou shalt not:
1. exceed more than two "standard drinks" of an alcoholic beverage in one day, and
2. exceed more than one "standard drink" of an alcoholic beverage within two hours
Aiden Robinson
This is a benzodiazepine, it isn't even allowed to take this drug over a longer time.
Grayson Lewis
People did many stupid things in the past.
Carter Martin
replace it with a less harmful drug
Logan Ramirez
Unironically, apparently drinking 7–14 pints (depending on your weight) a week is actually healthier than drinking nothing at-all. And that's not going by specific health benefits from specific forms of booze.
Lincoln Sanchez
Honestly user don't do that, it's really unhealthy.
t. has family that did that and are now alcoholics
Colton Campbell
The best thing is to stop eating. Look up prolonged fasting.
5-7 day fast will cure most addictions
Grayson Bell
Cure, nah. Prove whether you are or not addicted, yeah.
Carson Young
i highly doubt its consumption is "healthier" than to not drink it at all. such claims are funded by big alcohol, just like how pro-coffee studies are funded by big coffee. my guess is they're playing the stock market.

addiction is a spook
Matthew Ward
If you don't have a physical dependency yet I would just get rid of the alcohol. If you do you should ween off and just quit. If you don't think it is actually alcoholism yet it might be okay to drink at social occasions, but never actually keep any around the home.
Angel Lopez
just drank like five double whiskeys while watching Evangelion netflix (jihad against no flfy me to the moon)
gotta say boy do I love alcohol. you just love to drink it
Hudson Jenkins
Throw all of it out and take a break from drinking entirely for a few months, reset your relationship with booze
I quit drinking entirely for six months and it really helped me reassess my relationship with alcohol, I now drink far less overall and pretty much never drink at home, but instead nearly solely at social events, occasionally I'll sit down at a pub and have a beer while watching the world go by if I'm in a strange town or am waiting on the train or something but that's about the only time I ever drink on my own now
Ayden Garcia
You may have a genetic predisposition towards alcoholism and may want to take Naltrexone, an opiate receptor antagonist. It blocks the pleasant and reinforcing effects of alcohol by preventing the stimulation of opioid receptors and the reduction of dopamine release in the ventral tegmental area (VTA).
Naltrexone suppresses the euphoria and pleasurable sensations of alcohol. Alcoholics no longer receive a “reward” for drinking once they are on Naltrexone and are therefore less likely to continue consumption.
There appear to be no significant dangers associated with taking Naltrexone and drinking alcohol. Naltrexone is considered to have no abuse potential and does not result in the development of physical dependence.
Henry Cruz
I despise liquor and I only tolerate beer. The draw for me is that I'm miserable and hate being sober.
It's… not mine to throw out. I'm ashamed.
I don't know how I'm getting my hands on that.
Liam Foster
might want to start by admitting this to the person you're stealing from
Levi Turner
while Naltrexone intervenes by blocking the "good feelings" from alcohol, you can also intervene by getting your dope hit other ways. nicotine (such as from vaping) or weed will help wean you off the booze by giving you a healthier alternative.
Liam Brown
I was addicted to weed (inb4 weed is not addictive) to the point where I felt terrible without it. Taking LSD got rid of that problem. I still smoke cigarettes sometimes which is awful.
Dominic Stewart
If your miserable, get a hobby. I can't promise it will make you happy, but it will keep you thinking long enough that drinking won't be the first thing on your mind all the time.
Oliver Mitchell
yah seconded the worst thing porn will do is give you a chafed dick from jacking it too hard
Benjamin Perez
Or a bruised urethra.
Grayson Thomas
Good thing my hand is not an abusive partner, then.
Brody Phillips
Can't believe people are recommending weed here, weed is worse than alcohol. You can cure an alcoholic, but have you ever met a pothead who smoked weed every day for one year straight? They're eternally fucked, can't even formulate a single sentence anymore.
Dominic Garcia
Speaking anecdotally here (and have talked to multiple experts on the matter), but I smoked weed every day for 5 years straight, currently 4ish months sober. I'm definitely not fucked up like ex-alcoholics tend to be.
Though I would not recommend trading one addiction for another.
Isaac Nelson
Alcohol is poisonous to the liver, and alcohol withdrawal is potentially fatal. Neither is true of cannabis. On balance, I'd rather fry my brain.
Henry Watson
Quit cold turkey
Henry Howard
Yeah weed has been shown to have many positive benefits. The only downside is smoking does increase the chance 9f lung cancer, but not even remotely close to cigarettes in that regard.
Bentley Ross
Come on, be honest with yourself, weed can lead to mental issues, I'm not gonna say it always does but definitely in some people it either accentuates their mental insecurities and problems or dulls their wits in general.
Samuel Perry
I used to do something similiar some time ago. For a few months in my life, I used to get drunk on almost daily basis from beer. There is only one way to quit daily drinking - just stop. It's that simple. subsidizing it by stuff like pills is bourgerious habit of persuading yourself that you are weak and what you do is out of your control.
Do not worry, you are not alcoholic. If you were, you'd not fall asleep before drinking everyting you have till you pass out. Find a reason why you don't want to drink daily. Then simply stop.

Eh there are a couple of health outcomes where drinking moderate amounts is better than not at-all.
Also lowlevel regular consumption of wine is very good for cholesterol, which is a plus.
James Gutierrez

Jackson Morgan
question: what the fuck is a spook anymore, and who fucking cares
Oliver Morgan
That isn't physics its biochemistry.
And biochemistry is literally the opposite of a fucking spook.
Jason Peterson
I switch between drinking and smoking weed for relaxation/sleep so I dont get too dependent on either. Works good for me, an eighth lasts me 2 weeks and a bottle of liquor about the same. But be sure to throw in totally sober nights every now and then to prove to yourself you dont need booze/drugs
Matthew Robinson
Praising my ancestors releases dopamine in my brain. I guess I'm not spooked after all! It's just, like, a biological compulsion.
Ryan Thomas
You're a burger aren't ya?
Andrew Bailey
fuk off
Caleb Phillips
I was demonstrating his dumb logic. Dopamine release is tied to ideology.

Oliver Cooper
How do you function in society with 50 Autism Level?
David Ward
How did you leave school with such a failure of knowledge in basic biology. Again are you a burger because only the american education system would allow people to leave school not knowing how fucking basic human bodily functions work.
Lincoln Price
How god damn stupid do you have to be to think dopamine can only be released by "biological means"?
Have you never watched a movie and had dopamine release?
Brody Williams
anytime someone says "spook" the thread goes to shit. prove me wrong
Christian Sullivan
God you're thick.
Alexander Lee
i believe most highly in this. I was able to quit smoking/drinking cold turkey when I was living on my own. Problem is I stopped living alone from my car and got roommates who leave their alcohol and smokes around and yeah its fucked up
Nathan King
Maybe my property should stop being so spooked?
