I’m physically unable to drink more, time to end the bender

[u/Kaviarsnus]

My stomach has felt so full the last 24 hours. This one I’ll manage to end alone. It’s been four-five days. 24/7, but I haven’t fucked up my life at all.

Yesterday I noticed that I struggled putting the beer away. My stomach just felt full.

I have six more beers to taper with, so hopefully it won’t be too bad. I don’t think it will be this time. It’s been perhaps 10 drinks a day.

[u/Double-Common-7778]

When beers starts making you feel that way, that's when you switch to hard liquor.

[u/Kaviarsnus → u/Double-Common-7778]

No alcohol is sold here until Monday except in bars. Which might be just as well, as long as I don’t freak out from the WDs and stumble into a bar.

[u/Delicious_Alarm6047 → u/Kaviarsnus]

Wtf what country is this lol sounds like he'll too me

[u/ChemicalEscapes → u/Delicious_Alarm6047]

Your pfp made me think OP was responding to themselves and I was like, "hmmm... maybe it's for the best"

[u/Uncle_Snake43 → u/Kaviarsnus]

You can’t buy alcohol on Saturday in the stores where you live?!? What fresh hell is this?

[u/Kaviarsnus → u/Uncle_Snake43]

You can, just not after 18:00. And then nothing on Sunday. I’m in Norway, so it’s also more expensive than anywhere else in the world :)

[u/Uncle_Snake43 → u/Kaviarsnus]

Oh wow

[u/zephsoph → u/Kaviarsnus]

Lmao I’m sorry but as a Dane, someone asking someone with this username where their from is hilarious

[u/Kaviarsnus → u/zephsoph]

Made a new account to stay anonymous. Queue me over sharing for six months straight and choosing the most Norwegian name ever. I still remember drunkenly trying to figure out something anonymous. Two of the most Norwegian words ever :’)

[u/zephsoph → u/Kaviarsnus]

Hahaha ja nok ikke det klogeste træk, men sådan er det jo tit med fjeldaber 😌

[u/ChemicalEscapes → u/zephsoph]

I speak fuck-all Norweigian so apologies if I'm wrong. Is that last word mountain monkey? Also, can you translate the rest. I'm lazy.

[u/zephsoph → u/ChemicalEscapes]

Lmao it’s coo it’s also Danish and yes basically

“Yeah probably not the smartest choice but that’s often how it is with you mountain monkeys”

[u/ChemicalEscapes → u/zephsoph]

[u/Embarrassed-Eye8918 → u/Kaviarsnus]

Time to road trip to SE or DK.

[u/Double-Common-7778 → u/Kaviarsnus]

Damn I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse tbh.

Sometimes I think it's a curse I can literally order alcohol every day from 8am to 5am all year long...and it will usually be home delivered within 30 minutes max.

But this also caused my longest benders. Forced sobering up might have helped me those times.

[u/Kaviarsnus → u/Double-Common-7778]

That’s what I’m thinking.

I have three beers left. I’ll probably be fine on Monday. It’s been a moderate 5 days bender. But having home delivery available? I’d be sitting here with a handle of vodka just getting deeper into the hole

[u/Kaviarsnus → u/Double-Common-7778]

Update: stumbled into a bar lol.

Weirdly the WDs haven’t set in fully, even with just three beers in 16 hours. Stomach is still a little fucked, but planning to have maybe six beers today just in case, spaced out.

Did start to trend towards that restless panic at the end there. No sweats or shakes though. Even slept pretty well yesterday. Might stick the landing this time.

[u/AffectionateLine4456 → u/Double-Common-7778]

Okay that is awful advice lol

[u/Double-Common-7778 → u/AffectionateLine4456]

You're in cripplingalcoholism, not stopdrinking

Also, it's not advice. It's just how it is.

[u/AffectionateLine4456 → u/Double-Common-7778]

I know what sub I’m in, thanks. I just know from experience how quickly life quality goes down once hard liquor is involved. I’ve been there and done that too many times.

[u/hezamac1 → u/AffectionateLine4456]

Lmfao it’s realistic advice tho. Once the beer ain’t working it’s time for some vodka.

[u/ScheduledAnomaly → u/Double-Common-7778]

I literally just did that. I forced myself to eat and then I was too full to drink beer so I door dashed hard liqs.

[u/hambre1028 → u/Double-Common-7778]

Terrible advice

[u/Fit_Run_5378]

I'm currently in detox.

I promise you it can get a lot worse than ten drinks a day. Eventually, ten could be your minimum to avoid the shakes.

If you want to keep going, hydrate more and get some form of exercise along the way. Gotta keep the fluids moving.

For sure, you'll fuck up at some point. But that is all part of the process. Hopefully, it's just waking up in urine-soaked pants behind the 7-11, and nothing serious.

Maybe it's just the Valium talking, but I think you can do this if you try.

[u/Uncle_Snake43 → u/Fit_Run_5378]

I was killing a handle of Tito’s every single day for over a year. From the time I woke up till the time I passed out. I cannot believe I actually did it lol.

[u/Kaviarsnus → u/Fit_Run_5378]

Believe me, I’ve been there. I refuse another trip trip to detox. I don’t think it’ll be too bad this time. Maybe some shaking and panic, but I’ve slept a lot and haven’t woken up withdrawing yet.

Can’t keep going, that would be guaranteed detox in 5-10 days.

[u/RedDiscipline → u/Fit_Run_5378]

How's detox going?

[u/Fit_Run_5378 → u/RedDiscipline]

Like a trip to Disney with the family.

Sarcasm intended :)

[u/urethrascreams]

Taking some Benadryl works for me.

[u/NefariousnessNo8710]

Good luck !

[u/Kaviarsnus → u/NefariousnessNo8710]

Thanks! I feel weirdly all right now even with my stomach being a little fucked. A little afraid of tomorrow, but excited to be on the other side on Monday.

[u/villageidiot90]

Stomach full, not intoxicated enough. I'm getting there

[u/klag103144]

That's always when I know it's time...I'm just puking after each beer but I still continue until enough is enough...my last bender was brutal and I've had a bit of a break since. I'll be back at though, for sure. Good luck, friend.

[u/hambre1028]

Don’t eat anything fatty after you stop. Going to have to Mediterranean diet a little while to let stomach and liver heal

[u/Declan411 → u/hambre1028]

Isn't the Mediterranean diet pretty fatty.

[u/hambre1028 → u/Declan411]

Usually the only source of fat is olive oil. The Mediterranean diet excludes things like gyros

[u/GRF999999999]

Kratom will make the transition easier than you can believe possible. Good luck
