AA, Substance Abuse and all other related discussion

[Tokitoki]

and my posts are not related to it?

They are if you're admitting that this is a bad look for you and you need to get help.

I would if I could. Nice argument.

From the first post:

Do to the nature of the thread we will be modding it heavily. Don't be a shithead to people coming to vent and/or looking for help.-BG MOD TEAM

If you don't think this is a thread about people discussing their issues, seeking help, and seeking support I dunno what to tell you.

Speaking as a provider it's pretty fucked up to come into a thread where people discuss their vulnerability to addiction and what they struggle with only to brag about drinking and it not being a problem, while very specifically saying it's unrelated.

I have seen people die from this. I have seen people who don't and have to have huge needles jammed into their abdomen to have fluid drained off while waiting for months to maybe get a transplant some day MAYBE.

So, having dealt with it and watching you rationalize that, you either have a problem you won't admit to or you're an asshole. And if you're just being an asshole just quit posting. It's fucking stupid.

Don't worry, at least I get it.

Keep in mind people tend to be sensitive about this. Even if the thread is about discussion and not "BG is part of my AA" they are going to make it all about the latter.

Anyone with a functioning brain can read this thread title and know that it is about supporting people who are trying to stop abusing substances, not a "Hey I abuse substances so guess I'll gloat about it here" which by the way stopped being cool when you turned 21. I'm glad you feel so good about enabling someone with an obvious drinking problem and apparently some social issues as well, but as others have stated this is not the thread for it and even a moron like you should be able to see that.

"I like to get wasted" is not even related to the thread title. That's like going into a thread titled "Forced rape, sexual assault, and other related stuff" and talking about how much you like fucking drunk women.

It's not resulting in life dysfunction, so i can't really jump on the he's an alcoholic abuser train, but that shit definitely ain't healthy and we have like three people admitting they struggle with real alcoholism that has actually impacted their life.

Yea, not the thread for that kinda stuff. No amount of rationalization will change it.

It isn't self-righteousness. It's my job.

I'm currently struggling to live with my grad school friend (me and two other dudes, real bachelor life here). I never knew him before grad school but we always went out for drinks after classes and I never thought anything about it. When we started living together it was then I realized he would pound a pack of 30 Miller Lites a day (on top of whatever bar/restaurant he eats out at).

Now that we are living together outside of college his habits haven't changed. He doesn't claim to be an alcoholic because he doesn't drink at work, but it bugs me that he gets piss drunk every night (a "high-functioning alcoholic" by other definitions). He has struggled with addictive behavior (2-pack-a-day smoker from age 16-28) and it's only a stroke of luck he never found a harder drug to be addicted to. For a while he was waking up in the middle of the night throwing up, but blamed it on stressful working conditions. He finally got a new job recently and I've seen a change in his regular demeanor (i.e. he's not complaining as much), but his drinking habits haven't changed. I know I'm not the target of the alcoholism like I understand some of you are struggling with, but I wish I could do something to help him because it's become increasingly difficult to converse with him when I'm sober and he's stumbling across the room.
