Has anyone in here ever had a half bottle of vodka, 2 bottles of Bud and 28 cans of cider in one session? Weird question but i have my reasons.

At this precise moment in time i struggle to see what will make me happy.

You need to get out of the habit of compounding your problems mate. You tend to do it a lot. You're your own worst enemy at times.

Your problems aren't nearly as big as you make them out to be.

There are lots of things to be happy about. It's just that be default, you tend to view things in a negative light

Just my 2 cents like

28 cans in 2 hours? That's 14 cans in an hour mate. That's a can every 5 minutes roughly

Down on top of half a bottle of vodka?

I was a thirsty c*nt in my pomp, but fuck me, there's no way I could manage that. I don't think anyone could

She's off her rocker if she's making that kind of claim.

Even if me and you teamed up I still don't think we could polish off that much liquor that quickly ;D

When is the court date? Do you want to talk about what the charge is, and what her accusations are exactly? You might get some decent advice from folks in here but I'm struggling to follow what's going on. Obviously, completely understand if you don't want to go into it.

For what it's worth, you can dispute her claims about how much you drank in a certain time span, but the salient point is you got blackout drunk - I'm guessing that part is true - so you may not do yourself many favours by arguing the finer details. The courts may go easier on you if you just cop to that part - "I dispute consuming the amount of alcohol that is claimed as I believe that to be physically impossible but I do accept I was drunk and out of control"

Good timing...

Ive had the last 3 months from hell. Im sure some c*nt is paying the Devil to make him laugh.

My fiancee dumped me. I was robbed , beaten and according to the police, if they catch the offender its an attempted murder charge. Ended up in Addenbrookes in a right mess. My liver is three inches larger than it should be. My cirrhosis is upgraded to high. My prostate is severely swollen. My carotid arteries are expanded. I have a bleed on my brain. I have major hallucinations thanks to that c*nt.

On the plus side, oh yea, there isnt one.

Not seen the mother in law for 5 months now. She didn't come from Christmas, claimed she was ill, which translates as she got so pissed Christmas Eve she couldn't get out of bed, so we had a wonderful relaxed Christmas Day. We lashed the whiskey out so she stopped coming round, she was a c*nt while we were away in Tenerife in January and then my wife got sick of her bitterness and constant slagging of people so she stopped going to see her and they no longer speak. Kids don't mention her anymore, except when my eldest tells people about the time grandma was so drunk she toppled the chair and didn't know and did a fart that smelled like poo.

Glad she's out of our lives now, my wifes sister and brother can deal with the shit from now on.

What happened to all the thread regulars when at its peak? Spen, ACHP and various others?

I used to post in here under my old screen name AndyinVa

I had given up booze at the same time as SHF and I think SPen and guys like Billy were a huge help.

I managed to stay off it absolute cold turkey or three years with the help of my then wife and frankly all the people in here. I found this RAWK support group far better and more understanding than any real world support group I had locally in my part of the world. Medics tell you that you need a minimum of two years to break all physical and emotional dependency. Alkies anonymous tells you once an alkie always an alkie.

I feel I have found a middle ground. I have gone back to drinking beer and wine after three years off it. This seems to work for me. I can drink a few beers and be done and be happy. I can drink the first glass out of a bottle of wine and then have the rest of the bottle still in the fridge next morning. Back in the day of course, once something was opened I finished it.

I have tried to go back to two of my favorites, Port and Vodka. I have found this does not work for me. I will drink way too much vodka or basically finish a bottle of port. This then has a negative affect on my life. So I have quit Port and quit all spirits.

Alcohol is just not as much fun as it used and frankly I am not sure I am either.I don't socialize as much as I used to but don't look for it and don't miss it either. I run my own business so now I work harder and make more money than I have in a while. So that brings more choices which is nice.

I love never having to apologize to anyone after a night out. Usually now I barely drink and am one of the first to leave a party. I don't miss the hangovers or buying some fatty McNasty's breakfast on the way to work on a Wednesday as I felt like shit and needed some energy in my body to get through the day.

The biggest thing is losing that mental urge to get drunk. Shit day at work, get drunk. Party night, get drunk. Those thoughts are gone. Shit day means having a shit day and having shitty work thoughts at night but it doesnt mean get wasted to take the pain away. Party means, go socialise, chit chat, leave early when everyone turns into drunk dickheads.

Life is simple now.

I suggest to anyone to do what they can to expect to give up totally for 2 years and break those mental bonds of dependency and absolutely find a support group. Be it real world or on line.

I remain very grateful to everyone on RAWK who helped me along the way.

[Just as an example, broke up with long time gf on Wednesday, first Friday alone (daughter at her Mums), stayed home alone, did some work and had two glasses of wine, bed at midnight, up at 6 and productive already]. Life really is much easier now.

Drinking isn't fun for any alcoholic.

The drinking is fun. A lot of fun. The consequences are not.

Simple as.

Hey, Andy.
Hi.  Been an eventful couple of years. House burned down. My entire life burned up. No one hurt thankfully. Insurance company has been great. Fair settlement. Had a nice relationship for a couple of years but it just ended for good this time.  Doing great as a Dad with my daughter. Just started rebuilding my house. Home alone on a Saturday night but only had one beer.

I'm still about.     Don't post must on RAWK, always been a reader!

I'm still off the booze.    6 and a half years now!   Will never drink again,   As I always say when people ask me "I have nothing to gain and too much to lose"

I had given up booze at the same time as SHF and I think SPen and guys like Billy were a huge help.

Good to see you back Andy. Sorry to hear about your house. I Hope it all works out for you in the long run

I'm doing ok. I still get the odd urge from time to time but I've learned to cope with it

My addictive personality means that my drinking sessions often turn into 12-15 hour benders, leaving me hungover for a while after. I've had a couple over the past month or so that have been beyond brutal, enough to put me off drinking completely. I get carried away after a while; I find it difficult to just have a few beers and chill. It has to be all or nothing, but nothing seems like a good idea at the moment.

I don't drink through the week, and I only drink once or twice a month, but I fucking hammer it when I do. It's no good for me, and I need to evaluate or stop completely.

Me too mate. I'm the definition of binge drinker. Go weeks or months without then cane it when I do.

Used to be Es and speed in my teens, coke in my 20s and booze now in my 30s. Never been one to enjoy a few pints every few days and leave it there, it's always shit or bust.

I'm kind of similar. The last bender I went on was on a Thursday

Took 500 quid out of the ATM, turned my phone off, and just went at it full on

Arrived home on the Sunday morning, in the same clothes, with an inch of stubble, and eyes that looked like piss holes in snow

I remember the taxi fair home was 18 quid. I was down to my last 20 at that point.

By the time I tipped the cabby that was it, the whole 500 was blown. Fucking tortured myself for days after it
