How do I stop drinking?

I've been drinking for ages, being sober is alien. What's the way off this ride?

Try doing it step by step. It'd good if You would be able to let some other stuff take drinkings' place at the same time.

Like what? Weed?

You just stop.

You are joking, right?

Didn't think of the weed or anything like that. Something more like... every time you want to drink in the evening you have to force yourself to gou out for some running... or sth.

That's a good start, I guess. I just hate going outside.

You can't just go cold turkey. You gotta step down off the booze.

>You just stop.

Get fucking lost kid. Detoxing for alcohol for an alcoholic suddenly can literally kill them.

Alcoholics have to want to stop and need to make the choice for themselves.

You can either choose to stop or die an early death.

And your medical license permits you to make diagnostic conclusions without all the facts? No case history, no prior visits... that’s grounds for license revocation.

>op may not even be an alcoholic

Not an alcoholic, just need to limit the drinking to the weekends.

>Like what? Weed?

Weed IS a safer alternative to alcohol

Why do you want to drag people down with you?
It's like saying eating shit is safer than drinking piss.

Per OP
>being sober is alien

sounds like a fucking alcoholic. Who said anything about a medical license?

Suddenly stopping for a long-term alcoholic can kill them, that is medical FACT. I don't need a license.

Go back to Minecraft, kid.

I have champagne at New Years and consider that I drink too much...

So to you I’m an alcoholic...

checked, satan
Well how could one not die after quitting?

Drinker here. You need to seperate yourself from a drinking environment. That's harder than it sounds in the modern world. I work at sea on dry ships. Been three weeks without a drink. Its not so bad. But on land I'm a total lush. Too much free time and too much alcohol around. You need to really want it to be sober. An easy first step is just going camping or something and don't bring booze.

My general rule is if you have to ask yourself:
>Do I do too much?

You probably do and are.

You get the DTs and die, my friend. It would probably feel like the worse hangover of your life mixed with involuntary shaking, high heart rate, and eventually cardiac arrest.

Withdrawal from alcohol shouldn't be taken lightly by anyone.

If you have never seen it, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Well Gramps, I guess you’re new here and all... but people tend to exaggerate.

Maybe ask your patient what his age and average rate of consumption is daily and if he needs a drink when he wakes up to get going before you finalize your diagnosis.

>Reddit comprehensible

He asked how to avoid the DT’s numbskull...

Hey OP, how much do you drink every day. Can you put the bottle down if you have something important you need to do later? Do you waking in the morning requires you to have a drink to be able to get up and face the day?

lmao okay nixon all I did was state a fact

>Well how could one not die after quitting?

You've got to taper down until you get to less than 6-8 drinks a day then quit, I guess you could try tapering down to 1-2 drinks a day but i didn't have the patience and not drinking at all and not drinking enough to get drunk both sucked and I just wanted to stop drinking ASAP.

Here's how I did it
>drinking 24-30 drinks a day
>taper down 1 drink a day or 2
>get down to about 8 standard alcohols
>quit
>kinda shitty for a week days feel anxious and sleep poorly but nothing serious still work
>withdrawals end and try to figure out how to rework my life without alcohol
