How do you quit drinking?

Yeah I am a military officer in an airborne unit...It is a heavy drinking culture...i have developed a problem.

better question. why did he pour it in a glass if he was going to refuse it ?

Maybe because it is second bottle?

Enlisted mil fag here. Going on 4 months sober. I initially quit by heavily drinking energy drinks and dwelling deeper into fitness. Now i dont even drink those anymore. It helped me cut 30lbs and though my social life took a bit of a hit my real friends have been supportive through it all and still invite me out and dont pressure me to drink and i even inspired them to take it easier on booze and do more active things for fun. I miss drinking and think about it alot but i keep going because i see how good ive done and i cant wait to see how much more i will be able to acheive. Its all a process and consistency is key. Letting a liquid have control of your life and having to drink it to feel like a man, doesnt make you a man.

Get really fucked up one night and do some horrible shit and regret it so much you feel shame even thinking about drinking

Yeah, it got worse when i shattered my leg and fucked up my career timeline

Same old advice, try AA.
Been sober for a couple of years because of it.
You have nothing to lose by going.

I think I will be going at 8 pm tonight

Good man. Good luck. Just don´t expect for it all to happen in one or two meetings. It´s like the gym, you don´t get fit in three sessions.

Excuse

Is there a medicine or supplement I can take over the counter that will make me unable to drink? I don't mean something that actually affects my desire. I mean something that interacts negatively with alcohol without harming the liver.

My idea is to take something in the morning when I have willpower so that I can't drink at night.

i didn't

I`ve started a diet and watched shit ton of youtube videos on the topic of alcoholism every single day. Like these people from rehab centers telling their stories and stuff. You just can relate to those people man.

I've quit drinking multiple times. Quitting is not a problem, it's relapsing that gets me. First I start with one beer or a glass of wine at a party once a week and next thing I know a few months later I'm drinking port on the top of an abandoned building with people ten years younger.
But this time I'm serious about my sobriety, I'll stick with sodas for now.

Im going to try quitting cold turkey today. For the last 2 or 3 years ive drank at least a bottle of wine every night, or half a bottle of whiskey or 4 or 5 cans of beer. My head is so cloudy. I dont want this anymore.

easy, I've found a miracle way to do it, just follow these simple steps and you'll be off to a new start !

> avoid social gathering where alcohol will likely be like parties, birthdays or dates. Try to aim at never being invited and having no friends nor intimate relationships.

> get addicted to something else instead ! Weed, cigarettes or painkillers could do it, but the least harmful for yourself that I personally recommend would be spending too much time in front of a screen of any sort - PC, TV, phone...

> Avoid being thirsty : avoid sunlight as much as possible, shut your blinds when indoors, keep it cool and don't work yourself out too much.

> be too broke to afford alcohol : it will definitely help if you're still in education, unemployed or if you're pretending to be looking for a job while relying on outside financial aid to barely survive ! Can't drink yourself out in a bottle if you already barely manage to eat !

This is a tested and approved method, user.

My wife left me and I drank myself to sleep for 3 months. Ended up getting a dui and crashing into someone. I stopped drinking after that.

I never started

for me it was
in order of importance

1. getting a job because I drank when I was feeling like useless shit
2. actually studying in uni because I drank when I was bored
3. getting used to being alone because I drank when I was lonely
4. moclomebide

I tried hero doses of psychedelics but it never helped for my existential problems, desu

You stop drinking.

Hope this helps.

I got an epiphany a few days back. I drink not because I like drinking, but in rare cases when I'm with her, but I'm unhappy. Like when she flirts with other dudes or something.
I should really move on.

One day at a time.
It hasn't worked for me yet.

good advice itt, after stopping a few drinks gets me sick for 2 solid days which is a decent deterrent

alcohol is literally spending money to poison yourself. that's it. if you want to continue have fun shitting out your liver and bleeding out of your ass.

Lmao you just stop drinking retard

Just think about the extra calories and how many hours of walking it will take to burn that off.

Get multiple DUIs and get a felony

t.Felon

Never start.
Also

I don't know. I drink 30-35 beers a week and can't stop.

Change the habit.

Just stop.

Take two months off and set aside the money you saved for something you want. You'll be amazed how much you saved. You will sleep better, feel better, and start to enjoy life without the crutch of alcohol. Then when those two months are up, slam 4-5 beers and then proceed to get shit- faced. It won't be as fun as you remember, and your hangover will make you contemplate suicide.
Worked for me.

Just stop drinking, you junkies. Don't even buy the bottles. You have to want to stop.

i never understood lowlife faggots like you that couldn't call it quits at one or two drinks. Control your urges you fucking animal

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Addiction Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Walk Away From The Bottle Like Nigga Close Your Mouth

They were not yur real frens then!

i don't remember the last time i went over a week without drinking. i'm a musician and that's all we fucking do

Develop hangovers so bad that not drinking anymore seems like the best option. I drink maybe once a year.

you ever tried DMT bro?

based

No longer purchase
Substitute beverage/snacks

As far as I can tell people just tolerate the poison differently. For a binger the experience is an instant spike in dopamine after one drink then it's maintenance til black out. Normal response seems more gradual so it's easier to just have a couple.

>Thinking non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is better than alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Keep drinking the sugary Jew

>how to quit this substance abuse
>dude try illegal drugs instead xD

this is your mind on drugs kids, reminds you of why you shouldn't take it

try staying sober while your friends become more retarded every minute by drinking heavily. that and some regrettable shit i did while blacked out did the trick for me. i still have the same drunk retard friends as before, i pity the fools...
my qol has improved a lot since i quit early 2018. can recommend

You make it sound so easy, but actually getting your dopamine from being productive is so hard!

Only issue for me is the extra cals and late night junkfood involved.

literally this

Have a good life

explain this. I dont crave for a drink neither a drink on a regular basis (1/week maybe or less) but when I do i go completely caveman. I cant stop for shit. I drink untill i blackout and the next day I dont remember shit. How do I handle my lowkey alchoholism

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfiram
It basically mimics the Asian flush reaction where you get a hangover after a couple pints.
Point is to be prescribed on the drug (on an extended/delayed released one if you don't think you have the willpower to take it regularly).
You drink while you're on the drug so behaviorally you start to associate drinking with a shitty time instead.

Alternatively, get some app that tracks how much money you save by not drinking. I know there's one more smoking so I imagine there's one for drinking too.

I said the same before leaving education

Full time work has ruined me in every way possible

I started taking fitness more seriously and realized that drinking is completely counterproductive for building muscle and cutting fat. Went from 6-10 high ABV beers a night to maybe 3-4 drinks a month, only in social situations. I bought a 12 pack of light beer a few weeks ago because I thought maybe I'd want to have one every once in awhile after doing some yardwork or something but I haven't even opened the pack yet because I don't want to waste the calories or inhibit muscle growth. Basically, just become autismo about fitness and let your desire to see your abs outweigh the pleasure you get from drinking.

he didn't make anything sound easy. he simply provided some practical information.

Why do you drink? There is your answer

Hey. Excuse me, I'm drinking diet sodas, I'm getting cancer, it's good for cutting.
Also, yeah, anything to stay sober.

Drinking for bingers is like a dopamine boost all night long until you stop. Amd then you wake up in hell

once your a seasoned drinker hangovers don't happen

Dont. It's fun and beer tastes good. Just learn to control your urges better

I drink a couple beers, wines, etc, on the weekends. Just make sure never to drink after working out

Think about what you want and how alcohol is effecting that. You want money? You want to get in shape? You want pussy? All those are probably negatively affected by alcoholism. I used to drink all the time and I have alcoholic brothers. My motivation has comparatively skyrocketed and my life is a lot less depressing than my alcoholic brothers. I estimate them to each have about 5 years left if they don’t quit, it’s a bad feeling but at least I know I will have a decent life.

I do this every friday

Stay up late getting black out drunk on worknights drink no water and get up early hungover tired and dehydrated repeat daily until you don’t want to drink

Brain fog leaving and loss of anxiety are the best parts. I feel like I can handle stress so much better now and I feel like I have way more time/accomplish more

Let that go keep drinking

How bad is alcohol for weight loss? If I have a drink on nights when I don't work the next day, is that fine? I don't drink at all on work nights but I do sometimes go deep when I am in a social setting.

I know this feel bro. All of my friends want to go to the bars after work. I love to go; it's a ton of fun and we have a blast. And it's really the only place we can all hang out together. any other time and we are busy with our own lives.

but now I have to even give that time up.

After a few excuses of "nah, Imma go home and lift instead" they don't invite me out any more.

shit sucks.

Quitting "drinking" in the American sense of the word, which implies that drinking alcohol is a problem for you, is quite easy. You just stop. Although, this is difficult if you're coming from a place of fundamentally weak American sensibilities.

But to entirely forego the grape? That sweet gift of the vine? What a crime to commit against the soul; and the mind. Frugality and moderation and the god's nectar will raise you up.

Quitting drinking is actually very easy.

Based advice. If you don't like a meeting, switch. But go to meetings. Absolute minimum twice a week. Get a good sponsor who you like and want to be like. AA is the best thing to happen to me and the only thing that could have saved me from my crippling alcoholism

I drank heavily and recklessly for years and would ruin friendships and fight people until one night while I was intoxicated I hit a woman I cared about. None of it made sense. I had never did anything like that before. I felt terrible about it. Here was this tiny woman who thought she always thought she was safe with me and I betrayed her trust and put her in danger. Never accepted my apology. Haven't had a drink since.

A lot better off now and the mental restraint it taught me ended up helping me in a million other aspects of my life. I have no desire to ever have another drink of anything again.

If you're one of the people it's a problem for you just reach a breaking point, don't let it consume your life user.

antabuse

Honestly I’ve gotten to the point that I only drink water solely bc I don’t want to feel dehydrated whenever I workout. So maybe just bust your tail more whenever you work out in order to force yourself to drink water instead of alcohol

Just dont drink. I havent had a drink since last august.

Mental strength, nobody said cultivating good values would be easy.

And it's really not hard. If you want a beer drink a non alcoholic version. Drink a st pauli n.a. Or a odouls. Its really not hard at all.

>stop drinking expert
This dude looks like he still drinks.
He got that hungover look.
Also This Naked Mind

31 yr old here, never had an alcoholic drink in my life.

I would advise against going 100% sober unless you are ok with being alone. Our entire social structure is based on at least some level of drinking. From the outside looking in, it is just not worth it if you want to interact on any deeper level with other people.

Try LSD. I've heard it can just obliterate addictions entirely. You can also try kratom. It's addictive but basically harmless.

Fuck yes man! Just say you’re a newcomer and you will get ton of guidance

grow up past the age of 22 and you'll see zoomie

This.

Find God. Alcohol is a demon if you let it be a demon. Easiest way to get rid of a demon is through God. Develop a strong relationship with God, pray a lot to him to free you from this demon, and it will happen.
