So yeah, after drinking myself to sleep most nights and drinking during work, I woke up Saturday morning throwing up and decided then and there I wouldn't drink anymore. And soon after my body started to attack me, sending tremors and anxiety like I hadn't felt from withdrawal before. It got so bad that I nearly checked in to a hospital for fear of accidentally hurting myself. But around midday, as the tremors became gradually less, I ended up having a crying breakdown in my car for a good 5 minutes. It simultaneously felt kind of cathartic, but also was a point where my desire for a drink was at its strongest.
I spent time with a friend who knew what I was going through tonight and it was nice. Really nice. And when I got home, I dumped my last whiskey bottle I had in my desk drawer
ETA: and in case any of you are curious as to what inspired me to just stop cold turkey all of a sudden, I'll just say it's complicated but that depression and loneliness played a big part. If you've never listened to the song Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss, please do so. That'll give you an idea on the road I've been on

On a long enough timeline any subreddit is doomed due to the inevitability that it will eventually attract peak redditors.

I always thought it would be mildly funny to post an all white 25x25 image or something like that with a dumb sob story title to see if they would upmarsey it.
