    19 months and 6 days sober… but a Lemmy post told me what to do, so I’m going to get fucking drunk.

    I only drink pretty rarely, because sometimes I misremember the taste of booze and think they tasted alright (no, they didn’t, especially the cheap stuff used to get drunk on the cheap).

  • Day 3 for me. Not giving it up for good, just taking a much needed tolerance break (which I should do way more often than twice a year.)

    Usually I compensate for lack of alcohol with more energy drinks, but I’m off those too and it fucking sucks.

        The insomnia was the hardest part for me since as a daily user I would previously fall asleep within seconds of my head hitting the pillow. The dreams were incredibly vivid - and the nightmares. 😨 Trying to really reign it in in 2026.

          This happened to me too! I also started an SSRI for my anxiety and my psychologist said that would cause my dreams to be more vivid too. I had a dream last night that I accidentally ripped my back skin off and had to go to the emergency room. Then I had to live with my, all of sudden, crack head father in a hostile while I was recovering from surgery. Sometimes they feel like they’re nightmares when I wake up but so real when dreaming.

      Falling off the wagon doesn’t mean you have to give up for good, you can always start again. I believe in you. It should be more about overall accumulation rather than the neverending streak. You’re allowed to be fallible if you can course correct, no one will look down upon you less.

      something thats helped me a lot is remembering that recovery isn’t a linear path.

      if you’re driving from New York to California, then make an unplanned stop in Nebraska, you aren’t back in New York. you just gotta deal with the fact you’re in Nebraska and move on.

      you got this. stay strong.

      Nooo :( I hope you’ll get back on track. Setbacks are ok. It took me about 5 years to get sober once I started trying.

      Oh, you’re fine. It took me 4 1/2 years to get over sobriety and back to normal life.
      You’ve wasted much less time.

      Detours like that happen to most of us. It’s totally worth it once you finally arrive at the place where you don’t need it anymore. It’s an amazing feeling.

    Health is for losers.
    Go on a Rager that people will talk about for decades.

    (You may want to consider what community you’re posting in)

      People pretend ragers are something inherently cool. Some others do too if they don’t question their motivations and then they are often embarrassed whenever people do ask them why it should be cool. Because they don’t know. They just thought it represented something and people just pretended it did for social cohesion reasons (which is just boring old people habits now)

      “I got fucked up and did dumb shit!”

      Why?

      Cause I hate my life mostly. And I don’t want you to know that shit so I pass it off as something you want to do but aren’t cause I’m better then you. Like social media showoffs before it was around. Pretend your life represents some real quality and the idiots will believe it type deal

      The only time it isn’t that is when your just doing it for yourself and aren’t really forcing anything and it happens, but then people don’t usually talk about it forever unless its has particularly embarrassing parts or props up their social status by being a part of it or in proximity to it 🤔

      Basically the real ones go wtf you doing talking about my badass life like that for? And the fake ones (that have basically nothing going on for them besides jobs) they eat that ‘telling the same old story’ stuff up with a big ass smiles like “I peaked then and its everything to me” which is really sad old people shit and unless they’re really nice persons and/or are sharing it just to connect with you its not really worth any congratulations. They’re usually just impressed with themselves. (Taken on its merits its alright of course)

      Mostly tho this mentality is just dumb person aurafarming bullshit 🙄

      That all said, do go ahead and get some life experiences, and allow yourself to be in positions that let life happen and make some memories! Just be careful not to be an asshole, and remember, no amount of bullshit storytelling will make whatever happened not what it really was. Even if you think it will in your young/old brains. And people that try to ‘change things’ that way are the absolute worst.

      Tldr: Rager people prop themselves up with that bs because they know they didnt/dont do anything of actual value so they pretend that they did and they mean something instead of doing anything important or valid/real like everyone else does 👍

            Idk man, you seem to be the one writing novellas crying about obviously facetious comments in a shitpost community, telling people what is and isn’t ok.

            You may wanna take a look in the mirror to check who is actually the bitchbaby here.

              Yeah hiding behind your sarcasm doesn’t work, get fucked

              I don’t post for your little whiny asses or for your “ideal community” baby bullshit. I post for the best of what I see is needed here

              Obviously I stuck a chord

              Go back to bed bitch, or reply like the limo dick you are trying to convince yourself you don’t care about telling people what to do. But bitches like you always do. That’s why you all whine the same, project that shit after you do that shit.

                Lol go re-read the thread, and then reflect on who you’re describing in your diatribe 😏

                Honestly, Poe’s law is going hard here. I can’t tell if you’re doing a bit or not.

                  Obviously I read it, you can’t write shit or have anything to say we get it

                  Look using emojis (copying me) like your some snappy young man but your just a little boy and a smug and inexperienced manchild so desperate to prove himself to anybody that he can.

                  And oh my goodness! Top it off a Poe’s law reference to project intelligence you clearly lack and backtrack from your lack of comedic talent! (And hide the fact you weren’t kidding of course 😂)

                  Such wow. Much loss of self respect to play to a crowd you don’t even know well enough to see how lame your stupid ass looks trying that stupid shit

                  Get fucked poser 💀
