ITT we discuss effective methods to defeat the liquid poison known as alcohol.

Longest I've gone without drinking alcohol was 11 days in years. Need to quit because it's ruining my life but the cravings are something else.

Have any anons successfully defeated this demon?

Are you russian? If you are, you should also try quitting 'p

Quitting alcohol is 10% as hard as quitting porn. Just stop buying it and going to places that sell it.

Do you have anything in life that is actually more important to you than drinking?
I tried quitting smoking dozens of times, but it only worked, when I had an epiphany of how my life has gotten worse since i spotted working out and the next day I went back on track and never looked back. At that time it was also a lot of weed and gaming. I know alc may be tougher to quit, but you can't quit just for quittings' sake, never gonna work

AA may be a crackpot cult but it does work

I've been eating tons of candy and drinking carbonated water from a can. 8 days sober now.

i think you hit the nail on the head there. seems like when i started drinking i stopped going to the gym. i quit before when i went to the gym in the past and i didn't want to kill my weight loss.

going to get a few sober weeks under my belt and sign up to the local gym. thanks anon.

Alcohol tastes disgusting and makes you feel like shit, yet you still spent money on it and drank it over and over to look cool. You're just retarded as every smoker who chokes through their first pack then decides to buy another. Stupid faggot addicts.

Kekke spam. He makes this thread every day. Otherwise it'd be in /adv/.

Try watching kingcobrajfs blackout streams. He really helped me quit

for me i drink because of love problem, solve the problem and no need for gargle

>>33913198
watching the kingcobra documentary then watching some of his last streams before drank himself to death was so goddamn eye opening for me, heartbreaking as fuck too, RIP to the wizard of Casper, little dude had so much life in him once upon a time

I’m in the opposite situation right now. I have two bottles right next to me but I can never find the time to drink since I’m always doing something else.

Sometimes people turn to addictions to numb some pain in their life. If that’s the case, then try to get to root of the real problem and solve it for good so that you don’t rely on alcohol as a painkiller.

I drank tonight again bros after I said last friday that I was gonna quit this time for real.

A day. A fucking bad day it's all it takes.

>>33913922
no just a shitty resolve, but thats okay because you will overcome it if you keep trying, dont tell yourself its back to square one because that day you didnt drink was progress

Nah, do it right away. Your workouts may suck at the start, but jump into action ASAP instead of putting it off. Otherwise you can just start drinking again after a few days and push everything off.

>>33913189 (OP)
I did. You can start by writing how much you drank every day in a calendar and how much it cost. Then you can try cutting down on it gradually. Then maybe skip every other day. Then see how many days in a row you can not drink. Then try for a month. Then keep going.

You never kill it, but you get better at fighting it.

thanks frens i made it through day 1. am thankful i have some valium left over i think that it was the only way I was able to sleep

>>33913191
Are you retarded? Damn near every place that sells gas and food has booze there too.

>>33914776
Sleeping does get better eventually naturally. If anything I sleep too much now.

>>33914610
>You never kill it,
weak bitch.
get something real to fight for and you dont have to kill it it just dies

>>33913922
What was it that caused you to have a bad day? Is it possible to address that?

fucking gave in again. cunt upstairs in the apartment block is acting like a fool all day blasting music. how to cope better?

>>33916784
go upstairs and ask her to stop, put in headphones, go outside and take a walk
im guessing your upstairs neighbor didnt get any more polite after you had a drink did they?

I hate so much that alcohol has a chemical choke hold on my mind… I can be weeks sober and it still creeps in my mind to drink. Longest run was 7 months thanks to a fucking ankle monitor. Ive had a few benders since it came off, felt like shit for 3 days and go right back in once I feel good.

To OP and others who have an alcohol problem, what do you get out of it? How does it make you feel when theres booze in your system? Why do you enjoy it?

Guess I've never understood the issue, alchohol does nothing for me. Being drunk reminds of how I feel getting motion sickness on a plane. Educate pls?

I would say it’s a cozy familiar place. A welcomed change of mind from the stress of the day. I can just sit by the river and be content as long as I have my booze. All the sudden dreams seam obtainable and I’m creating plans to reach those goals. Then I over do it because that feeling is so good and eventually end up back home, feeling like shit the next day so I scrounge up what ever I have left to get back to that feeling.
