i personally know a video game addict that somehow managed to not only quit it, but make himself "addicted" to studying. Told me that the first couple weeks were hellish but it slowly became pleasurable and exciting.
Fuck alcohol Im never drinking again
Wait, how did he do this?
I must interview this man
Alcohol is brainlet fuel
so he is still addicted. Addiction is an escape mechanism, whatever people escape to doesn't make any difference. For some people its gaming, gambling, drugs or even travelling or sports. The last two aren't viewed as self destructive so they never get addressed. They are all harmful though.
Props to that guy to spin it around though, breaking such a habit is no small feat.
Sounds feasible using Charles Duhigg basic methods. If anyone here is interested in a very well written book about how habits work, how to quit bad habits and how to make powerful new ones, read The Power Of Habit, it's one of those weird gems in self-help lit i think.
If you're a brainlet who can't finish a whole book, the Tamed Course by Improvement Pill on youtube is a great step by step guide based on that book. I feel the book is still essential, tho

Best decision I ever made, user. Drank like a fish from 17-31, have been dry for 3 months with zero intention of going back. I feel reborn, a complete new lease on life.
lol way to go! Go to a meeting.
Alcohol has never really been my thing, at least not since I stopped being a normie and getting wasted and going clubbing most weekends. I remember when I was 17/18 I used to drink half a litre of vodka before even going out. Now at 29, two pints/two glasses of wine is my limit. After that I just get queezy, the buzz/high goes, and I start to feel sick. Fuck, the other week I had 3 pints in the space of 2 hours and I was fucking sick afterwards. My body just rejects it now. It's a disgusting fucking drug that destroys your body.
Well done user.
I recently quit weed and porn.
Now I'm going to quit coffee as well, or at least keep it restricted to one cup once in a while
