Good luck, Tony. I'm rooting for you.

My father is/was an alcoholic, so I hate to see anyone struggle with drinking.

One day at a time, buddy.

[Russian Rocket]

Taller that's 6 more days of straight drinking added to your two weeks. Quit tomorrow...you'll straggle for a day or two and everything will roll back to normal after that.

[pulledclear]

Quitter.

[TonyTall]

rooting for you as well, Now that nothing good comes out of drinking, especially drinking beer. Its just a ton of empty calories. Its better to drink liquor instead. Start going to the gym or just walk half an hour a day if you're too lazy to go to the gym. You will feel so much better and it will help your sleep as well.

[TonyTall]

thanks ez im really struggling here

just threw up for no reason. lost all my medications now i have to keep them down or ill wake up feeling like crap

this sh1t ends tonight

[TonyTall]

cant believe i went on a bender with insuffictent benzo source

[MoneyLineDawg]

Tony how much were you drinking each day/night?

If you wanna do something every single day, only choice is weed

Anything else fukks your world up after a while

[easyliving]

thanks ez im really struggling here

this sh1t ends tonight

get rid of all the alcohol in your house and simply stop buying it. Also until you have the will power to avoid it stop going to places where alcohol is served even if it means missing out a couple of parties

[zert]

Who gives a crap?

[chilidog]

Good luck man. Nothing wrong at all with taking a break from the booze. You don't need a reason nor an excuse - just do it cuz you feel like it. Make it a personal challenge and stick to it. If you wanna do a year, alright. Start with telling yourself it's just a week though. And before you know it, it'll be a month. And when you're ready, you'll have another beer again. Pura vida!

[BennyBigNuts]

Tony bet Tursunov -150 starts in 30 minutes.
You're welcome.
Quit the fukkin drinking cold turkey buddy.
Stop being a stain. You have too many vices.
You're a good guy.

[Louisvillekid1]

You'll be back by next weekend

you need to start talking lorazepam

[PhillyFlyers]

Good luck bro.

You are transforming right in front of our eyes.

Giving shelter to the homeless. Quitting alcohol.

Pretty clear that God is calling you to service.

Keep up the good work and don't let anyone sway you.

You're doing good.

[Swinging Johnson]

Was going to chime in with a smart ass remark but I can clearly see the desperation in this thread. Just remember Tony, failure is only temporary. Just get back on the horse and don't beat yourself up. I was going to end this by saying cheers...but I thought better of it. Good luck pal.

[Big Bear]

smoke weed everyday

[innovation]

you need to trade an addiction for an addiction...it's going to be tough, but addicts need something to keep them occupied.

choose a healthy addiction and go bonkers. same applies to gambling, I quit for 5 years and became an excersize freak....

[tony_come]

Weak

[PaperTrail07]

I feel there is a mixture here. Little weak sauce mixed with a case of pussidus. ...2 week bender as in had some beers everyday ?? ......Maybe if your really old, take a break....other than that, its all in your head...like that anxiety...Yes we all love a xanax now n then...but if your telling me you cant get by , thats just a lie....Love the anxiety, head right back to the bar you blacked out in, overtip, start drinking again, tell stories, meet more women.... CHEERS!@

[TonyTall]

was drinking 12 ice beers a night. thats like 16 regular beers. so was a lot of booze over a 2-3 week span

ended up keeping down about 5 ice beers last night and did finally fall asleep


thanks to the good guys, fuk off other pricks id break your faces if i even came across you


this wasnt anxiety i dont usually get anxiety this was the shakes it sucked

[PaperTrail07]

5 "ice" beers compares to about 2-3 IPA's and I throw that down with dinner

12 "ice" beers every night is a little wild-esp if nothing is going on ....---but doing that for a 2-3 week span--thats nothing

Sounds like a frathouse-As in kids do that shit for 6 years getting a 4 year degree....


Just saying....its in your head man No need to break faces

Were you also using something else? 2-3 Weeks of drinking wont do this

[chilidog]

Tony, do you recycle? Just askin because my old lady does that chit, and I end up looking like a massive alcoholic when she takes all the recyling to her folk's house. Cans and cans of beer, bottles of rum. She goes monthly, so it's a month's worth of cans and bottles. It ain't that bad actually, but damn, I can only imagine what her folks think of me, hah. I go through about a bottle of rum a week, and about 2 6-packs of beer a week

[zert]

Wrong forum to be getting medical advice.

[chilidog]

Wrong forum to be getting medical advice.

why, because surely people in the health care industry certainly would never have an interest in sports or gambling, right?

[TonyTall]

yeah i take my recycling to my parents house they are ashamed

just had one ice beer so far today. bit anxious, very bored. very angry at myself but this is a good lesson just short of having to go to the hospital

will have 3-4 more beers tonight , then tomorrow 2-3

[bubblebuttluv]

Just think of all that alcohol money that could go towards the bankroll.

It's when we have more than one vice that we start getting worked.

You a good guy Tony, lay off the booze.

It'll only hurt you in the long run.

[Russian Rocket]

stay strong Taller...you gonna make it and you'll be alright

[TheMetsSuck]

not sure the whole weening off thing works quite the way you're doing it pal. Alcohol withdrawal is a very serious thing and people die trying to quit this addiction and have seizures all the time. If you are that big of an alcy i would potentially do an out patient type program where they monitor your vitals and give you medicine to help with the withdrawal symptoms. It's not easy to quit on your own and usually only lasts for a short period of time before you find an excuse to buy a 12 of natty ice or whatever it is you drink. I can relate to you. I'm a mid 20's guy that was guzzling frat suit cases of beers for years. I'd be the guy in the frat doing the chug offs for my team and the beer olympic events, etc. I could sit down and pound out a 24 pack of bud light no problem in my prime. I thought I just had a high tolerance since I mainly just did this on the weekends you know thurs-saturday and on sunday during football to recover from the hangover. I got slapped with a dui mid summer and my lawyer told me only way i was getting off of this (since i refused to blow) was to do voluntary drug counseling, drug testing, aa meetings ,etc. I agreed but went on an epic bender in montauk for a week straight before I decided it was time to enlist in the sobriety program. I caught strep/tonsilitis my last day in montauk and felt like shit when I got home. Felt like it was perfect time for quitting since i already felt like dog poop and was on antibiotics. I literally was in bed for 10 days in a row. My sheets half the nights when i woke up were completely soaked. I had uncontrollable sweating from the withdrawal at times i found out. I was also quitting a daily pot and tobbacco addiction at same time Figured why not get them all out of the way at once. It was hell for 2 weeks. I lost 20 lbs. Once I got thru the hard times I started to feel great though. I was dreaming again and remember them which hadn't happened in a while. It's been 77 days without a drug for me. My court date is still a month away and I've spared no expense to try and get this off my record. Between my 10k lawyer, 3k rehab/drug testing, and a 4k brain scan (my mom insisted on that one). The brain scan actually showed a hole in the top of my brain from all my drinking. it was scary to see and the doctor told me that was 90% from binge drinking. I know I'm not going to give up alcohol forever because I'm young, have an addictive personality, love to party, and fack chicks. But this long hiatus was a necessary detox and I'll probably go another year to let my brain recover. With right supplements (fish oils, exercise daily, etc) you can heal the damage done. Good lock with your quest for sobriety. it can be done. I may drink again. But it will be on a much lower level. That doesn't work for everyone though. If you are serious goto aa meetings and stick to the program. one day at a time and you can live a sober life. (root beer)

[face]

go running (far) with good music or radio show and exhaust yourself
you will be too tired to feel crazy, and will get a nice runners high

[chilidog]

Hey bro, just wanted to say congrats, and it's awesome what you're doing! Your body will recover - it's quite resilient that way. Exercise and give your body all the nutrition it needs and it'll bounce back like crazy. Good luck and just think of all the people in your life that are so proud of you for doing this.

Congrats bro, glad your doing well.

As for the rest of the thread I think we need to define what a "BENDER" is. 12 beers for 2 weeks str8 is a bender?

So what do you call 5 nights in a casino drinking a bottle or 2 of vodka/whiskey a day with who knows how many beers, coupled with Yayo and MDMA and maybe a few hours of sleep sprinkled in.

But too each their own...
