i was going to quote something i read on wikipedia the other day that said studies showed AA to be ineffective in adults, but it has since been changed to say
Quote : | "AA is not for everyone and attrition rates tend to be high,[5] there is evidence supporting the effectiveness of AA as a treatment for alcoholism." |

12+ beers a night
Pint and a half, sometimes a fifth if I do vodka (haven't drunk it since last October, but I've been considering getting back into it, and spooked myself in the process)

wow, that's a lot, especially for a girl. at my worst I was at like 8 a night, but I just decided to stop one day.
it should be said, though, that some people CAN'T just "man up and quit". just because you don't have an addictive personality, doesn't mean that she doesn't. 7/2/2008 4:39:31 PM |
fjjackso All American 14538 Posts user info edit post |
im not being a douchebag, but seriously, you're only begging for attention and it's nauseating
i drank way more than that for years
tried to quit many times, and when i told people about it i just felt forced and didnt do it
when i did it quietly i did it for myself... and it was easier
perhaps you're mistaking douchebaggery for lifesavery

i have always been in that category dude. it is widely known that I have turned to TWW in the past when I had issues. and you know what? this place is the best therapy anyone could ever have, both the negative and positive comments help snap you back into fucking reality.

my doctor sister says the telltale response in the exam for alcoholism is whether you have ever felt like you needed or have had a drink when you first wake up. i realize that may not sound like rocket science, but in combination with a bunch of other questions, apparently that's the one they really pay attention to. 7/2/2008 5:34:52 PM |

Yeah, I usually try to keep one beer for wakeup next to the bed.
Sometimes I just drink that anyway if I can't get off to sleep right away.

I went for awhile after rehab. just didnt work for me. they sayin "work the steps, just work the steps" but never tell you HOW to work them. But there are good people there, a few. antabuse helps stay off drinking, that and my friends/ family are pretty proud of me. I got fucked up the other night after 10 months. I loved it an hated it at the same time. I missed it like and old friend, but I was disgusted with myself at the same time.
trust me on this one. being honest with others and yourself is the hardest thing to do. and you'll probably pick up that white chip several times before you get any significant amount of time. if you get it. I tried a bunch of times to get clean. YOU have to want it, nobody else can do it. sometimes hitting bottom is what it takes. getting there was the best thing that ever happened to me.
thats the breaks. I'll probably die for it. oh well. its only rock n roll.
