Pleasure...Pain or Both?

[hossthomas]

i used to have severe anxiety problems but a little lexapro went a long way.

lexapro is one of the few pills my doctor hasn't prescribed to me. nothing i've ever had prescribed helps very much, if at all. xana and valium are both really good for relief when i'm in the middle of an attack, but i'd really like to have something that would help keep those attacks from happening. any bad side effects you've experienced with the lexapro? i've been on prozac and that shit made me a fuckin ball of rage.

[calx]

nope no side effects. my mom actually takes the same stuff so i tried it and it worked. only 10mgs. i guess i didn't need that much. but jesus it was nasty. i thought my heart was going to explode at random moments. probably did a lot of damage to me but eh. i would check it out.

For me, I drink because I love drinking. Why drink otherwise? It's the answer for boredom. Yes I've been to AA. But only because I was legally obligated to go.

[Emperor Awesome]

Pure pleasure, baby! Altough my fiancee bemoans my drinking constantly. The situation is basically "yeah you get to get drunk at home, but what happens when we move in together?" She doesn't like it when I get drunk because "my eyes and mannerisms change for the worse".

Yes I've been to AA. But only because I was legally obligated to go.

Storytimes please?

Some drink to remember, some drink to forget...

Why do you drink - [To get drunk]
Why do you roll smoke - [To get stoned]
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote....
over and over
everybody made my prediction
so if i get stoned
i'm just carryin' on
an old family tradition

Yeah, I thought too this would be a pleasantly naughty thread.

I have massive lower back/sciatica problems. Today, I am back on the walker.

I am scheduled for surgery the end of February.

I am prescribed: Hydrocodone, Flexeril, Skelaxin. I rarely take them, it fucks up my thought processes, you try running a restaurant/ balancing the books on any of that shit. The pills just dull my mind and put me to sleep; give me booze instead any day.

[Bluespook]

i drink for the pleasure of it, although i do drink to either take away my physical/emotional pain although sometimes i drink to cause it. Nothing makes you forget your personal problems like a good hangover. I use it for both i guess.

Pleasure and socializin' are my motives for hoochin'. It's fun getting sillier than I usually am with people also getting silly. I'm me, only more so.

[Pete G]

I've always viewed my drinking as a celebration of the fundmental absudity and pointlessness of life. Countering the absurd with the absurd. Just an attempt to keep up with maddness and insanity of the world around me. A salve on the existential wounds that pierce my soul. That, or mybe I just like getting really loaded up. I never drink when I'm feeling down - only makes me feel worse.

[Frankennietzsche]

You people drink?

I drink only for pleasure.

Nothing can touch the pain in my heart
