Ok captain douchebag

And ya, Im just buying into tv adds

no..... cause u think to have fun u gotta get wasted, and thats the farthest thing from the truth, theres something call choices.

no need to stay home just cause your sober..... thats what my point was.

( no douchebag)

**ibanez0720** · 04-09-2010, 05:39 PM

I found my GF in a bar. We went out alot then we drank at home aot. After awhile I took a 6 month break from drinking....I just worked out, built models, and watched alot of movies...... The 6 month break did me wonders though. Now I just drunk misc either friday or saturday.

I know its kinda out of this world, probably has never been done before tbh, but give it a shot.

/sarcasm.

Why do people feel the need to drink to have a good time? LOL seriously, arent you confident enough to enjoy yourself/talk to women while your actually yourself?

When you're an alcoholic it isn't that simple, and when someone tries to buy me a drink wtf am I supposed to do turn them down? Not only does that go against my core value of accepting free things, it seems rude to other people and starts raising questions and makes things uncomfortable.

And like I said, I'm less than a month out of recovery for serious alcohol problems, I don't trust myself in a bar.

You gotta find people that dont drink if you want to get out of the house. I know what its like to go to a bar and not be able to not drink. If im there, im drinking. So, i stay home. Honestly, life is not fun right now, but i have decided i dont want to drink. So im going to stay away from the bars until i feel i can stay sober.

As for what I do on a friday or sat. night. Misc, PS3, hang out with people that dont drink.

Good luck with the recover and sobriety brah.

I texted a few randoms I haven't talked to in ages in the hopes that they aren't going out (despite the fact I met them at bars)

I'm pretty good at getting the first couple dates........ terrible at maintaining them, I start to feel claustrophobic and start ignoring them, has lead me to a lot of disappointing finishes

**DavidJr74** · 04-09-2010, 05:47 PM

Go to the bars/clubs/parties etc and if anyone asks why your not drinking just say your the DD.

**poolshark472** · 04-09-2010, 05:48 PM

you should try and give going out with your buddies but staying sober a shot, seriously. once you get comfortable in your own skin socializing without the "aid" of alcohol, you'll realize how much more in control of everything you really are.

**deadforaminute** · 04-09-2010, 05:48 PM

try bowling and playing pool. those are things you can do with friends where they can drink and you dont have to cus you can focus on the task at hand. if you goto a club or bar theres nothing but drinking

**The Philosopher** · 04-09-2010, 05:48 PM

I only let myself drink once a week while cutting, so tonight.. I will be playing DOTA.

Your only 21 and already been in AA? Man when I was 21 I got drunk about 5-6 days a week. My ex called AA and told them this, they said "He's just being 21 chill out call us when he wakes up with the shakes and has to keep a drink on the night stand for the morning" (srs) You must have been drinking since you were 12 or 13 or something. I mean they were right I grew out of it after a while.

hey bro sorry didnt know ur recovering from addiction..

but yeah if u wanna get better then yeah pay 5 buks for awsome cocktails that have no liquor, pina coladas,carpirihas... or just water..

for the most part when we go out we drink water, its free anyways, and after hitting the dancefloor its the best..... yeah ppl will ask u drinking water say yes, i dont wanna drink booze and done...

but if u still dont wanna go hit the clubs then do any of the stuff i told u in the rep.... theres alot of options.

I know, I need to find a sober group of friends ASAP or else ima go stir crazy.

I have the group of alcoholic friends/acquaintances (this accounts for 90 percent of the people I know, they go out every weekend).

Then I have the group of pothead friends (I don't like smoking, gives me anxiety and hanging around with potheads sober=torture).

I can hit up my drinking bros during the week to lift/play sports and whatnot, but its these weekend nights that are killin me.

**The_Animal11** · 04-09-2010, 05:52 PM

i do the same thing you did when you drank, i just remember it the next morning.

just because you are not drinking doesnt mean you have to be a friendless loser (sorry most of misc)

perhaps, it at least deserves a legitimate shot, I just gotta let my buddies know ahead of time if they pressure me I'm gonna just bounce or something

It's really a mixture of the two, I'm not gonna sit here and blame all my drinking problems on genes, but I'm certainly willing to point out I'm likely more predisposed to becoming dependent on alcohol than you are

I dunno maybe I just need to get it out of my head that friday/saturday night is no different from any other night and treat it as such, but when I hear all the stories from friends it drives me crazy, and I miss the drunk bitches lol

Your friends are a bunch of ***gots if you really just got out of rehab and they're telling you all their 'cool stories' about getting smashed on the weekends.

You need better friends.

Get on POF and find a girl, trust me there are plenty, and just start bangin hardcore all the time, also you are somewhat on the right tract when you speak of not making fri/sat. nights a big deal as opposed to other nights.

**MexicanStandoff** · 04-09-2010, 05:55 PM

same thing i do every night...i furiously masturbate.

like I said I can kick it with bros during the week and even then they might drink a bit but thats no biggie, but on the weekends when my buddies are getting HAMMERED I know I'm gonna fall right back into place

they aren't rubbing it in my face or anything, it just comes up in casual conversation among groups

**ibanez0720** · 04-09-2010, 05:56 PM

Tell you a secret mane. Food coloring at the bar brah. Order water drop blue food coloring in and you got yourself what apears to be a cocktail. Gigner ale looks just like a CC&7. Crown and 7. If no ginger ale is availible then get sprite and add a drop of yellow and a drop of orange food coloring. It will give it that amber look........
A friend of mine does this all the time. I am one of the only ones who knows they dont drink at bars.
