My drug of choice for bipolar disorder.
Self-medicating for legit biochemical issues is problematic in itself. But choosing ALCOHOL, which only ADDS physical, social, psychological, and physical issues ON TOP OF those the underlying bipolar bring? Ugh, what a downward spiral alcohol represents here.
Get in touch with local AA group. From everything I've heard, this has WORKED for countless people who failed at other ways to tackle their alcohol back-monkey. Going cold turkey from heavy alcohol consumption comes with medical risks, something those further down the path of breaking this addiction are best qualified to help with.
The GOOD news here: once you stop poisoning your body with alcohol, the secondary issues often resolve themselves. Alcohol breaks down first into acetaldehyde in the bloodstream, which like its cousin formaldehyde, poisons and hurts EVERY cell in the body, faster than natural building and healing processes can keep up.
Not sure I'd recommend going with a dopamine-pathway manipulator like Naltrexone as a first or even second resort.
You've got this, brother. And, you have a community of men here interested in your well being and development as a man. Admitting the issue and your responsibility for it is a big first step. Now, continue on the path to betterment!
Read More@Vermillion-Rx I've read about a drug called naltrexone being used successfully to lessen the urge to drink. Might be worth trying. Regardless of how you choose to address it, I believe you'll be able to do so effectively.
@Vermillion-Rx Sorry to hear that. Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs out there and getting help from others is a good idea. Even telling everyone here how you are getting along will help a tiny bit as it gives you a whole group pf people to disappoint when you lapse and to applaud when you don't.
It is going to hurt but you are capable of sorting this. You have completed self improvement projects before.
The abstinence side is probably the biggest thing to work on but can you find other things too to replace the dopamine hit?
Yup. I didn't want hookup culture growing up, it's just what I had to deal with. Conceded after around 5th serious relationship went up in smoke. Maybe it's the area I live in.
Hook-up culture's always been around in some form or another just with pithy slang for the young and retarded, duped into thinking their smart because they use codes and acronyms. Participation is optional, but always encouraged among those too stupid to realize it's a trap.
While you may see your relationship situation as not ideal, it's better a relationship end as soon as either party realizes their incompatibility with the other, rather than endure several years of a frictional marriage with children.
Regardless, something in you drives you to sort yourself out, dust yourself off, and try again. I can only pray you never loose that spirit and achieve your goal. For what it's worth, while it's not your fault they're stupid, they will make it your problem all the same. You're not obliged to put up with their stupidity.

@throwaway_old_guy so they expect the shit to hit a fan by 2050.
I just wonder what's with that gold advert, if we will mainly case to exist.
@derdeutscher so you believe that liberal women will actually not use the Trump card of screaming, crying, crying for help, being in a dazzled state, disobeying the war/to fight/the draft?
Ok then you lets assume you have passed the first stage. They have been put in the shackles and dragged to the battlefield. Do you want them behind your back, the betas covering their back instead of yours ass as assigned, being on a single battle's loosing side and the women already thinking how to surrender.
That would be Interesting.
The liberal women would be fighting as much as a flower child 'Karen' in Forest Gump.
It is what it is.
Why don't you go monk mode for a while and do a proper field report on attempt to overcome an addiction. Without distractions.
2 significant subject were missing in the space. A diary report and an addiction battle report. Can you manage?
Youtube v=KoB2cqmYZNg
This is a quite sweet animation about na addiction. The Animation doesn't help with anything but I found it nice to watch.
The Link is not direct so not suitable for the boomers.
@Typo-MAGAshiv Honestly, I couldn't spell it the first time so I spoke it into the phone and went with whatever it gave me... lol
@adam-l This is good actually. War would end quicker and decent number of liberal/woke women will die.
