Honestly, I scared someone off Cytube tonight and it sent me into a terrible tailspin. This shit is starting to be a problem for me.

    I too had an awful experience while very fucked up and it's turned me off from drinking excessively ever again. It's still very embarrassing looking back: anything after 1-2 drinks is associated with guilt, shame. I once ruined a birthday party by going too hard and giving myself alcohol poisoning. The ensuing disaster and fallout undermined a strong friendship and created rifts in others relationships.

    I have a feeling that a lot of people who feel similarly about have a story like mine, or yours. Regardless, I think you should definitely listen to your body in this regard. Alcoholism is a terrible affliction. Any comrade trying to gain control of addiction to alcohol has my support because it will take your life if you let it. Don't let it.

      I've dealt with Alcohol problems for awhile. I'm predisposed to it unfortunately. I'd say that it has had a pretty negative effect on my life overall. Unfortunately, I think I'm well past the point of shame in a lot of regards. I paid a lot of my debts through serious struggle. Heavy drinking still remains though. Citations Needed did help a lot with my coping weirdly, I just need to limit or stop what I'm doing.

          Does CBD show up on a drug test as thc? I've been thinking of trying it.

            No, it should not show up. What people need to understand is, that the drive to consume and craving is basically your receptors screaming for dopamine or serotonine. If CBD attaches to some of the screaming receptors you should feel better. Some antiperessants have this effect and are very usefull for withdrawl. Ketamine helps with some forms of withdrawl since is basically doing the exact oposite to your receptors than opioids. The best thing you can do is probably sports and good food, but I'm well aware that that is impossible for many. Source: Recovering addict, now six month clean.

              I've been trying to get K for awhile. The RCs never cut it, and I haven't been to a festival in awhile. I'm too pussy to do darknet stuff recently.

              Luckily I now live in a spot that has a ton of outdoor stuff if my new job doesn't kill me.

              I'll try CBD when the first paycheck of my new job comes in.

        You understand what needs to be done though, so give yourself some credit. You already even understand you're predisposed to it so you have to be even more heavy-handed. My family is full of drinkers too. My father drinks non-alcoholic O'Doul's just to feel like he's having a beer sometimes. Whatever you can think of, whatever it takes to limit your intake is what you should try next. You got this.
