Should I even bother quitting alcohol if it allows me to function like a normal person?

I only quit because I started getting too sad and texting everyone in my contacts

Never quit drinking. AUD for life!

>>81531476
At least you have people in your contacts.

I only drink to deal with emotions that I cannot deal with otherwise.

>>81531496
I drink because it makes me so HAPPY!!

Yeah. I drank for first time in forever yesterday it was awful. I actually just threw up about 15 minutes ago. Awful substance. I was an alcoholic in the past but now I hate it with a passion. Worst drug that is readily available, by far.

Reasons not to continue drinking:
>unsustainable long term
>very hard to engage with discreetly due to the strong odor (no chewing gum and brushing your teeth is NOT hiding the smell from those around you)
>hard to hide because alcoholism signs are all very noticeable and most people are aware of them
>you can't drive anywhere without risking a DUI ruining your life
>horrible hangovers
>as your tolerance increases you hit a point where you have to drink so much that you no longer get any of the positive effects. Rather you just cycle back and forth from horrible w/ds and being sick from drinking with almost no in between
>extremely bad for your health and cognitive function

I'm an opiate addict these days and it's so much better. I use obscure opiod RCs. I can just sprinkle a bit into a water bottle. It has no odor. Lasts like 7 - 8 hours. I can literally sit in front of my boss at work and be taking more and he has no fucking clue. Even on the occasions I take too much, I just seem really sleepy/tired but I'm not stumbling around or slurring words or anything. People are far less aware of signs of opiate use so long as you don't literally start nodding out and slumping over while standing. Even if a cop pulled me over I would pass sobriety tests/breathalyzer. It isn't looked for in any commonly used drug tests. Also isn't illegal either, too obscure to be scheduled (this may change in the future).

Anyways addiction in general is a downward spiral. I recommend doing no drugs every day as it is always unsustainable. The point about hitting s point where you cycle between w/ds and feeling sick from taking too much with no middle ground is just as true for opiates as it is for alcohol.

I drank a few times in college but would invariably overdo it because "moderation" was perceived to be a waste of time and energy (if I'm gonna be hungover may as well go for blackout). Stopped drinking and never plan on doing it again lamo

sounds like a skill issue. I will never give up alcohol! Never!

>>81531463 (OP)
Ive done this cope before. You will never be a normie no matter how much you drink.

>>81531463 (OP)
I guess not. Just keep drinking, anon

>>81531463 (OP)
It must be a low dose if you can maintain it all day.

>>81531463 (OP)
yeah, you should upgrade to pregabalin instead, it's like alcohol in pill form that lasts for 12 hours and it genuinely fixes everything wrong with you.

How does one get prescription pills?

>>81531782
Buying them illegally or faking/having an ailment that requires you to take those.

>>81531792
Where do you go to buy them though?

>>81531809
dark net markets, you can ask on /drugfeel/ and have a certain % chance of getting called a fed over it.

I'll probably just stick to alcohol
