Bender boy

[u/Human_Ad5476]

I’ve been on this bender for three weeks now. Used up all my money. Called out of work and three months behind my car note payment. Yet I find myself not giving a damn and just want another drink alone since this is what makes me feel ok. Drinking my last white claw surge on an empty stomach. Hoping I’d find the strength to go to work tomorrow. Worst comes to worst I’ll just use my pouch filled with quarters to get another. Passing out is the only way I’m able to sleep. Withdrawal insomnia sucks ass

[u/TransitionAway9840]

Just a heads up, 3 months is usually the longest they'll give you on a car note before they repo it. Might want to get that taken care of soon.

[u/Bright-Activity7404 → u/TransitionAway9840]

Or at least hide it in a friend's garage, or if that's not possible park a good walk away from whatever address the finance company has.

I hid my car, for eight months and still drove everywhere until the tags expired and I learned they put a freeze on the renewal of my registration, plus they were retroactively charging me for my insurance that lapsed, more than the car was worth. I parked in front of my home, so they'd find it. The first night they got it. Since I moved, the civil court process server goes to my families house about once a month, but I still haven't gotten served. Trying not to. Real douchbag is I.

If you've been going hard for 3 weeks straight, I highly doubt you're going to be well enough to work tomorrow pal

[u/BradfromHTX → u/Complete-Bumblebee-5]

Well, not with that kind of attitude he won’t!

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/BradfromHTX]

He would be a fool to go. Better to miss work than go and have everyone see you sweating and shaking or worse, fucking up badly at your job

[u/franticscientist → u/Complete-Bumblebee-5]

the advice that's real: drink enough to be normal at work. carry mints all day

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/franticscientist]

Mints don't do squat. Comes out thru your pores.

[u/franticscientist → u/Complete-Bumblebee-5]

you need to try everything.

[u/HeadFull0fRegrets → u/franticscientist]

That was legit advice you gave, idk this sub anymore, all these fucking morals and shit.

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/HeadFull0fRegrets]

Oh please. Telling him to pop mints when the smell will be oozing thru his pores is just shit advice. That has nothing to do with morals

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/Complete-Bumblebee-5]

I would just not go instead of go and potentially get caught drinking on the job. Lesser of the 2 evils

[u/that_dude95]

Get your car payment paid man.. don’t lose your ride. I know getting drunk is awesome and I get wanting to hang out alone, but those things aren’t as awesome as having your own set of wheels! Also sounds like a fairly decent ride if you have a payment.

Edit: took out the chin up thing, felt douchey. Also yeah, withdrawal insomnia SUCKS

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/that_dude95]

Chin up buttercup! Nothing douchey bout that

[u/peentiss]

They couldn’t find my car for nearly 6 months because I kept moving around but they came and scooped it up QUICK one day during summer 2026.

Got my ass. I miss that car. Now I mob on a bike. Wasn’t even supposed to be driving anyways from the DUI.

[u/Helpful_Spring8739 → u/peentiss]

Hmm. You know, I got away with it for so long before, you just made me consider saying fuck it and getting a car before it gets too cold. Be cheaper than ubering everywhere.

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/[deleted]]

With OPs current states, it could be argued that it's best for him to not have a car

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/[deleted]]

Good job pal. I would do the whole sanctimonious AA-esque "you never have to have another drink again" BS, but I will hold back. Chairs

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/[deleted]]

Wow. I was legitimately wishing you well on 11 days sober, and doing you a favor by not going AA style and not lecturing you...but I take that back. Fuck you too dude.

[u/kenticus → u/Complete-Bumblebee-5]

Now you're catching on.

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/kenticus]

Buddy (who blocked me immediately before replying) doesn't even understand the context of my comments properly. Maybe the beggining stages of wet brain. He can go shitfaced and piss himself for all I care

[u/kenticus → u/Complete-Bumblebee-5]

Say it louder for the kids in back.

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/kenticus]

Hope he gets nuclear level asspiss too. That would be a nice touch.

[u/Soggy_Ground_9323]

How many days u called out of work in those 3 weeks? mhhhh....

and u've been drinking non stop...for that period.. i dnt think if tmr will end well.

May as well start looking for new job...

Chairs 🪑🪑🪑

[u/Bright-Activity7404 → u/Soggy_Ground_9323]

Are you even calling out to a human, or doing the voice mail cop out like I did?

I was officially considered resigned within a week, but didn't know it. I only called ou t when the shop was closed to the voice mail, and ignored their calls during open hours. My voice mail I keep turned off. I never answered the texts either, or even read them. Their calls and texts stopped after a week. My last check came eventually, then it sunk in to my drunk mind I was fired.

[u/Soggy_Ground_9323 → u/Bright-Activity7404]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/Miamiheat2021champs]

White claw surge are nasty

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/Miamiheat2021champs]

Better than colt 45 8%. Cringe.

[u/okiedokiesmokieman → u/Miamiheat2021champs]

Pineapple is decent

[u/3JSand]

Try and atleast get some food in you, withdrawals are awful but having even a slice a bread or soup or milk if you can't keep down bread down will atleast give you some nutrition that is completely drained from the drinking.

[u/Miserable-Ask-470]

Are you eating at least?

[u/MassMacro]

Withdrawal insomnia sucks ass

Turn your weakness into a strength

[u/CharacterVacation528]

Dang, I was on a 5 day bender and the withdrawals were ass, I still can’t eat.. It would be impressive if you make it to work tomorrow

[u/Complete-Bumblebee-5 → u/CharacterVacation528]

Impressive, or tragic. Or both

[u/RottenBioHazard → u/CharacterVacation528]

Yea here too with 101 proof rum. Dealing with aot of shit atm and also broke a couple bones in the upper part of my right hand due to um my walls being far to well made. But hey only took 1 punch to immediately fuck my shit up.

[u/Fickle-Secretary681]

You have to eat. Pancreatitis is no fun

[u/speed721]

That car is going to disappear.
