How many alcoholics do you know?
 

I know five. Three of them has been in rehab. One is still in rehab. One of them has been in and out of mental health hospital. Crazy, eh? :)

Just five? You have no social life.

quite a few, myself included, my immediate family, some are bar hoppers, i am the only one that drinks and stews

and that with NO social life

I know one or two people who aren't alcoholics.

Careful Keeping It Simple, you might be confusing enthusiasm with addiction.

imagine if you had one, you could start 50 threads like this one.

and welcome back to the board!

I know seven, each is tormented by being defined by one single aspect of their personality, as well as being outcasted from society due to the genetic condition of Dwarfism, and their chosen profession of mining.

mining will drive you to drink for sure.

this

personally i know two. i work with addicts so at work everyone is so lots.

One of my supervisors was; he was pissed at work, yet strangers would not notice it when he showed them around. He died three years ago, he was not even 55.

One of my best friends used to be an alcoholic; he ain't no more; too many parties, bottles of strong alcohol for ceremonies in his office at the cinema he managed at the time. Used to wake up in a seat in front of the big screen, at the sound of the cleaning lady's vacuum cleaner. He's over with it, but says he has to keep drinking wine to make the loss less cruel.

And some Tottenham fans, obviously.

I met one of the alcoholics I know yesterday and he told me he went to see the doctor who told him he had 6 months to a year left to live if he continued drinking. His liver is twice the size it should be. He's only 22-years-old.

me too

I know at least 5 that cold be considered alcoholics, and two that are bona fide

i live in northern ireland.

i know one alcoholic, whose name i wont mention, who was asked to be the drummer for a rather successful band, when they were just starting out, but turned it down because he thought he had a better shot at making cash with his own band.

i wont say much more but the band has one letter and one number in their name and the singer is a turd.

L7?

hahah!

no.

think bigger, all male, now millionaires and prone to histronic charity aid concerts that accomplish nothing

i shouldnt be saying anymore about this.

The problem with alcoholics is they're generally likable people, however, at its extremes alcoholism is as self-destructive as heroin addiction. If anything, sometimes even worse because the duration can last decades..

well this guy has been at it for decades and quite frankly is on his last legs, living in care, in and out of hospital etc.

i am intimately connected to his life because of business stuff i wont get into. suffice to say he came from harsh origins, was adopted, and then went on to really do something with his life. he accomplished a lot. he led an impressive life, but got kicked down by circumstance again and again in ways that were beyond fair.

at some point he basically gave up and settled into alcoholism, and ive seen what its done to his son and his life, and it truly is sad.

noone will ever care about people like that, who come from the middle of nowhere and struggle harder than anyone else to succeed, then get lost on their own.

one day in the future people will look back at this century in particular and the addiction and misery that was happening and see it as truly the mass plague it was. peoples brains harvested, turned into rats that move coins around to exhaustion and consume themselves to hell.

and whats so fucking disgusting is the ENDLESS aggression and pressure from all sides to either ENJOY yourself or SHUT UP. its like we're living in a modern version of some medieval theocracy, only today the sacrament is enjoyment. there's never any shortage - even when your'e broke you're always full of TOO much of something, some chemical or some junk food or something. we're all drowning in a land of unlimitable desire, swapping addictions, mutually torturing each other with the maladaptive enlightenment fallacy of the individual self, which is supposed to transcend these neuro-physical realities through sheer force of will.

and all the victims are left to rot, endlessly hectored by all sides to work harder and think more positively, even though they are the losers of the zero sum economic game and will never get out of it.

someone once asked me if i had emotional baggage, and i said no, i had a suitcase full of drugs.

god that ended badly.

FML.

i think about cocaine ALL THE TIME

im just sitting there "damn i need to go skiing"

even the fantasy of it is highly pleasurable.

it constricts the brains vascular nerves, permanently. its one of those "your life is permanently fucked welcome to in and out of the psych ward until its in and never out of the grave."

i know ive beaten it, and wont do it ever again, but DAMN is it appealing

you know if the nazis were in power they would have put all the coke and crack heads into the camps.

i dont say that in a mean way, i say that because those things really do fuck your brain so much you end up functionally retarded.

i know because the coke bugs under my skin told me.

you basically get "disappeared" if you go too far with it. you end up in and out of jail cells/psych wards, then you just rot inside a house the rest of the time until you die young of a disease or something.

yeah ive had the "reading thoughts" shit.

still have friends who are that bad, who have obviously scarred their brains and will prob be permanently pyschotic forever. they smash up their own houses, cant tell whats real and whats not half the time.

YAY CAPITALISM WE'RE ALL INDIVIDUALS JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF YAY!

you know, i mean everything i say, but i also really would like a bag of coke right now

its all his fault.

all the carbs, all the crack, it all flows from his undead mouth.

we're all just PUPPETS MAN

OBEY CONSUME REPRODUCE

under the watchful, milky eye of our LORD and SAVIOUR Ronald McReagan. he watches us dance in the thick alzheimic fog of his meth hallucinations

How do you know what is or isn't in jerry bear's case?:cool:

yeah, the commodity consumes the human.

baby powder sure, but creatine, talcum powder, hell even good old sodium. all of thats better than fucking strychnine (rat poison).

'round these parts they cut ecstasy with strychnine in order to fuck up the nervous system of the user so he can be hooked on H later because it will "calm" his by now fucked nervous system.

it is man. it really is - out of all the drugs i did i crave it the most yet it was one of the drugs i did the least.
