For a long period of my life, about the ages 0-20, I was not a drunkard.

You see, when I was a young adolescent I embraced weed, hallucinogens, and stimulants. That trifecta of daily usage (well... with the hallucinogens maybe 3 times a week) led me to a pretty decent university studying physics.

It is there that I discovered drinking and boy howdy did I love it. I loved it to the point that I basically ruined every opportunity that was hamfisted into my retarded and unaccepting jaws, and for that I have pledged that from the end of this box of wine, I shall adhere to a very stringent policy of inebriation:

1) Marijuana -- I do not currently use the demon weed but I enjoy it from time to time. If it staves off alcohol, well then... I will smoke more of it.
2) LSD - I will have at least 3 trips a year, with real LSD, not some of those analogs that just.... really kind of suck.
3) MDMA - I will roll between 2-8 times a year, depending on if it feels right.
4) Ketamine - But only in amount that I can properly K-hole myself while listening to Underworld
5) Coke - If it's free, let's party

Other hallucinogens I will consider but they must be something along the lines of peyote or 2C-B.

Who else wants to quit alcohol with me?

I have a similar experience except I drank from 15-19, then switched to weed and became a semi functional human for three years.

Then everything fell apart and I've been a low functioning alcoholic for another three years.

1) quit smoking weed to pass a drug test for a rad job. still don't really, but a hoot before I play D&D makes it more carefree and silly.

2) hallucinogens are dumb. bad trips suck.

3) you're a loving idiot.

4) ^^ same as 3

5) nice, but expensive and I do like sleeping before noon as I am an adult.

Beside losing a kidney or getting cirrhosis of the liver I've basically had all the bad things that can happen, happen, so I figure since those and dying in a gutter are the last things to check off my drinking bucket list I might as well just quit while I'm ahead (behind?)

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Cutting back owns. I can buy a six pack and have it last 3 days. Though not always. I can go to a bar and have a lot of fun off of 20 bucks. I can wake up not feeling like dog poo poo. I can go weeks without even really wanting a drink and then when I do a couple is good enough. Also my liver is not slowly imploding. Sure I can't put it away like I used to and have to be careful of that fact when serious drinking is called for, but overall A +++ would tone it way the gently caress down again.

in recognition that the "self" is a continual synthesis, and that the curiosity of selves to undermine themselves and to investigate the activity on which they are founded is as ancient as the self, i applaud "your" striving to restructure "your" "self" through substance (ab)use;

nevertheless, i suspect that "your" "self" has actually latched onto this substance (ab)use as a kind of dead-man switch, threatening to detonate itself and everything it temporarily organizes, if the urges that constitute "you" continue to threaten to destabilize and destroy it from within;

what i mean is that what began as an investigation into the pliability of the self has become a set of defense mechanisms for that very same, no-longer-pliable self under seige

YOU NEED TO BE MORE FRIENDLY TO "YOUR" "SELF," or it will never relinquish its death-grip on the vital forces of which both "you" and "it" are constituted

try to make peace with yourself and convince it, in a spirit of friendship and love, that both of you can and should change, together

replacing one form of substance abuse for another is not going to fool your self; it's onto you, op; in some sense, it is you

you need to be honest with yourself if anything is going to change for the better: hence, i suggest sobriety as the newest and best high of your life

you are in a mexican standoff with yourself op; a scenario of mutually assured global destruction; the only way forward is radical disarmament!

you're going to have to put down your gun before your self puts its down, however

unfortunately, this means putting yourself in a position of absolute and mortal vulnerability

this will be the hardest moment

you have to stare your self in the eyes and know that it could destroy you, if it so chooses

at that point, you will have to be strong

I stayed drunk from 18-28. Dropped out of a good college, then a lovely university, slowly down-grading my employment as well. Things eventually got pretty bad.
Now, I havent been drunk in a year, still smoke weed er'ry day, and things are improving.
Finally, being a quitter worked in my favor.

I was a drunkard from 21-33. A bad one too.

About two years ago I got my Medical Marijuana card and quit drinking completely.

I've lost 60lbs and finally feel like I can function as a responsible adult.

someone who is smart enough to understand The Truth needs to get drunk as gently caress everyday to nullify the pain. a sensible number of drinks won't cut the mustard.

that's why bad alcoholics are usually genius-level, whereas hard drinkers are frat boys and such.
