No overtime for me, I’m a salaryman. I dunno yet how intense it will be but I’m already at about 50 hours a week now. This project will fluctuate but I’m guessing another 10-20 hours a week until we get across the finish line.What? Do you mean crunch time Overtime 7 days a week sort of thing?

I did my share of crunch time and 24 hour shifts when I was a tester.
In 2009 me and 4 other testers pulled an all nighter to validate new generated builds as we were 1 week away from our Gold candidate.
It's basically a hurry up and wait scenario where we validate a couple of fixes and make sure the build isn't broken.
At around 2AM I was bored out of my mind so I suggested we enter a bug with the title "Chuck Norris is not in the game".
We set the priority the highest, add a fabulous picture of Chuck and checked all components in the bug, gameplay, sound, world, UI, level design, EVERYTHNG
"Expected behavior": Chuck Norris SHOULD be in the game etc...
My Lead comes over 10 minutes later yelling "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS??!" and he's pissed.
Turns out all the producers, game director and creative director were alerted on their home PC or laptop since we were so close to our milestone.
Ah the good old days

that does sound good
just played Persona 3 Reload for a couple hours and ate some crisps (chips). I think a big problem is that I'm stuck in a routine which is hard to break. I'm feeling better now I've broke it today

I was a professional drunk for over 19 years, always skipping supper for 12 beers. It also probably caused my colon cancer in 2018.
I went through the same spiral you are experiencing.
I remember everyday just before leaving work thinking "Ok today I'll eat a good meal instead" only to watch myself like an automated robot go into the convenience store & walk out with my 12 Heinekens or Budweisers.
It's a gradual vicious sneaky cycle that's hard to break free of. Especially if you're a lone wolf.
The good news is when I quit in rehab I felt much better real quick. You taste food better, the fog in your head clears and your wallet is even happier
My 12 beers were about 20$, that's over 600$ a month Mamma Mia!
If you want to turn things around unfortunately you'll have to find your rock bottom.
Mine was colon cancer, my liver flirting with cirrhosis and almost dying of sepsis on the operating table.
I'm not here to tell you what to do only what I went through.
I love having you around in our awful community

Yeah I know I need to get the help. Last time I went to my doctor (not about drinking) I said I was gonna try deal with it myself and he said if you want help come back. Part of me wishes I could stop but another part doesn’t. So I don’t want it enough. I guess I just wish I could control. So what I keep saying to myself is just cut it down to even 3-4 days to start with and it’s not like I’m going to stop completely. I can still have a drink. Just not every fucking day.
I don’t get bad hangovers. I can drink beers all day and be fine but vodka/whisky makes me ill. I only drink them if I don’t have beers.
Another thing is that I don’t feel any physical side effects so I think oh I can’t be that bad but I do know it’s slowly doing damage. It might not be bad now but 5-10 years time it will catch up with me. I’ve seen my family deal with the side effects of alcohol. I’ve had two of my family die because of it and many more of them I’ve saw with damaged liver/dementia etc.
What really pisses me off is how tired I get when I drink so I can be in my bed for 4-6PM. Then I wake up during the night for hours. And when I’m drunk I can’t watch TV/movies because I fall asleep. I can’t read books. I play some games but not as much as I used to. I loved going for a drive at night and listening to music but haven’t done it in years because I’m always drunk. I know I’m an asshole for it but twice I’ve got in the car when drunk. Usually I’ve had just 1 or 2 beers. No way would I drive if I was really drunk. Even though I feel fine in the morning after drinking it’s still in my system. I’m more concerned about it I have been drinking vodka/whisky the night before.
I don’t know where I’m going or how things are gonna go. Right now I just know I need to give my body a rest. Haven’t had a drink today which is good but I’m already thinking of drinking tomorrow and it’s going to be much harder to avoid it tomorrow

Thank you for sharing.
That was one of my joys when I drank.
Start on a saturday around 10 AM, go to bed hammered around 4 PM.
Wake up in a daze around midnight and woohoo I stil got 6 beers in the fridge!
Boot up Skyrim or watch movies of which I'll remember nothing

Oh man I forgot about that stress when I had 3 beers left and running like a fool to the store at 10 minutes to 11PM before they closed just to be sure I had enough stocked.
I don't miss it at all

Here alcohol goes on sale 10am. Guess what time I go shopping at? Sometimes I see the staff check the time. At first I was embarrassed but don’t care anymore.

We like our drink a bit too much in Scotland so you can only buy between 10am - 10pm. Some places restrict it to 12:30pm on Sunday (football related). Can’t drink at football matches but you can at Rugby. It was banned on most trains. When I was coming back from London on the train they announced they would stop selling alcohol at the border.8AM where I live.
See what you're missing?
And we have minimum pricing. It was recently raised from 50p/unit to 65p. Some people would drive to England to buy it. There is no minimum age to drink alcohol (at home) it used to be 5. 18 is the legal age to buy it but you need to look 25 to avoid ID check.
Supermarket but law is 10am everywhere.

I'd get the 6pm headache that just wouldn't go no matter what I did. My brain would feel like it was bursting out my skull
No idea why. I liked it being daylight, and pissed
Night time only these days
And even then it doesn't take much these nights.

I am definitely a poser. I live in one of the states in the US that is furthest from the ocean and have only been on a boat in the ocean twice. I just love war stories and Ewen Montagu is a fucking badass.omg
