Why die when you can get drunk

[bigbigbig]

Thinking about it if i couldn't afford to be drunk pretty much daily id rather die. Guess im leaving when im completely out of money.

Sounds like the Alcohol method takes too much time and Money

I've never been really drunk. Is it really that good? Are you able to still function enough to go to work? I don't think I'd enjoy a hangover or being sick plus yeah- just the expense really.

No it's not. I am still myself just sleepy

I don't find being drunk enjoyable. I don't like brain fog and it's annoying for me not being able to think with my full brain capacity. You don't always get a hangover, I've gotten drunk with no hangover!

Don't you get extremely depressed after drinking? I know I do. My drinking has created some horrible anxiety, and depression for me on almost a daily basis.

I can't function drunk, my metabolism makes me way too drunk way too fast, and while I've only had a hangover once, I hated it so much. I'd rather just be stoned all the time tbh.

It's the hang overs/next day that just annoys me, that and the puking.

I think a lot of what contributes to my willingness to CTB is my substance abuse. I've irrecoverably fucked up my life to the point where I don't really see a light at the end of the tunnel even if I tried, all for a momentary escape from the daily anguish of living.

Don't get me wrong. I still drink daily. I'm drunk more often than I'm not. But that only helps me push my problems away for a little while, until they grow and grow and turn into something I can no longer handle. I consider alcohol what it is, an escape, not an answer.

Getting high or drunk makes it worse.

Your SI will be on overdrive and they make depression even worse. A depressant as treatment for depression and suicidal thoughts is a recipe to feel even more shitty.

 

[Csmith8827]

Because it doesn't last. You come back sober eventually...so it's kinda pointless. I'd rather just ctb if I could but I can't right now. Something is holding me back/ I have to develop a better plan...

Ehhh, it kinda lost its effect on me, sadly. All that drinking must've jacked up my resistance + I'm Russian to begin with, so I guess I am more immune to it by default, and I mean that without a shred of irony.
Back in the days getting drunk was a guaranteed good time. If I felt like shit, I'd feel normal, if I felt normal, I'd feel good and the rare times I already felt good, alcohol'd make me feel even better. Either way, it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling of content numbness and joy.
But just yesterday for example, I started drinking right after I woke up, as I tend to do at times. I was browsing the internet, watching videos, playing games, eating, all the while I'm pouring me some of that 35% Bacardi Spiced. (Tasted pretty nice for its price). And before I knew it, about 2/3 of the bottle was gone. I had a slight buzz, I knew for a fact I was drunk, but I didn't have -that- feeling. Or at least not with the intensity I used to have, not by a long shot. Long gone are the days where I used to just burst into laughter for no reason or stumble down the hallways. Now I just feel... normal. I'd bet after half a bottle I could still easily pass a sobriety test.
I guess it still beats being sober though. Not by much, but it still does. So I'll keep on drinking.

Alcohol has no effect on my damaged brain

 

[Deadfrogwalking]

If it weren't for single malt scotch and dark beer, I wouldn't have made it this long, definitely not for everyone but alcohol works fairly well to help keep the demons at bay.
I would rather drink than go through the medicine chest of pills that are out there these days.
Lyrica was the worst, zombie fodder

Perfectly sums up my experience with drinking. And it's not even just alcohol. Happened with every other substance I've ever used. Benzos, opioids, marijuana, meth, nothing gives you that warm fuzzy feeling after a while. All you can do is chase after it but to no avail. But yeah, still beats being sober.

I've drank quite a bit tonight, i don't get "comfy drunk" at all.

I just feel warm and woozy for 5 minutes, spew and back to pondering why i even drank in the first place.

Weed doesn't get me high, it just doesn't work even months later.

These escape tools don't help me.

Nahhh alcohol makes me feel even worse, use to drink heaps but the bad decisions, anxiety, depression, the shakes and the weight gain plus on top of that the hangover the next day nearly passing out at work. I drink a little bit but no where near as much.

Being drunk sucks especially when it wears off, it's not worth it imo
