Alcohol

Does tea make you forget that you're fundamentally unsatisfied with your life?

You need to identify why you like alcohol so much and then go from there

Yes it does.

OP here. I get the craving at night after work and i can't shake it, theres no way I can sleep without drinking a six pack of 16 ounce Budweiser cans. I've even tried taking sleeping pills it doesn't work.

it tastes like shit and makes you feel like shit. It's only good for socializing at parties. Only drink when you're at a party.

Melatonin about an hour before bed helps. I find it really similar in that kind of getting you to the sinking feeling way. If I drink to get there, I tend to wake up in the middle of the night too. None of that with the melatonin. Give it a try.

Alcoholic sober since a year here

If you're a real alcoholic like me you NEED to get help. Quitting alone is basically impossible/unbelievably difficult. Your brain will do everything in it's power to convince you to drink if you're doing it on your own.

What do you do to get help? I don't want to do any of that gay intervention shit or go to a rehab facility. I might give medication a try. May as well do something with my Obamacare while I have it.

AA meetings are a good place you can go to daily/as often as possible to just be around people in the same boat as you and get support/vent. You can ignore the steps if you want.

SMART is another newer program that's similar to AA but I've never been to a meeting, I want to say it has more research behind it though

Yeah I'd advise something like this.

The hardest thing for me when I quit drinking was the boredom that then led to depression which then obviously leads back to drinking.

When all your friends are basically drinking buddies and your list of hobbies begins and ends with getting pished it's really fucking hard to stop.

By going to these kinds of groups you'll meet some people in the same boat who've had to rebuild their lives and have developed good, sober interests and are happy to socialise sober.
You can make some good friends and develop some new interests that will keep you off the sauce for good.

just stop being a fag. if you're medically horribly addicted just ease of it by diluting stuff until you're just drinking water in a year's time. and if you're just a "Randy" alcoholic, put down the bottle. donezo

NO. He was probably being sarcastic but that's how I ended up drinking 10 Gin and Tonics a night.

30 days sober (never made more than 5 days before this for years). Can share what I did. Honest question, do you genuinely, truly believe in God and your soul?

>alcohol is more of a priority than my schooling or lifts

Might as well neck yourself now because in three years you'll have failed out and will be working at the gas station down the road with a shit body because he couldn't quit drinking. No girl will want to fuck a total fucking loser who flunked out of school and has zero prospects besides alcohol.

A strong man can start and quit as he pleases. A weak man succumbs to the world around him. You are a weak man

Protip: 90% wodk + 10% whiskey looks a lot like tea

>muh god
>muh soul

Religious cunts started flooding to this site once trumpfags discovered pepe

As another atheist, he was trying to help by asking a simple question

I wish you autistic cunts would stay on reddit

I know surrendering to a higher power is one of the 12 steps in AA but I don't think that means you have to worship some jew on a stick. You just acknowledge that you aren't in control of mot things

Thanks for the backup mang. That's why I asked instead of pushing my beliefs like some Jehovas Witness.

Anyway to the boozer, if you are a believer. You can do what I did and swear an oath to God on my soul that I'll stop. That way I had no choice but to succeed.

This
I quit today.
Fuck the gains liquid. I'm getting lean.

if you have to think about your drinking you have a drinking problem, go to AA

>I know the easy answer is just to stop but it's not that easy for me

Find your nuts and just quit. It's not that hard.

I used to drink every day because it made everything better but it was affecting my gains and it was making me depressed; if i had four drinks one night i needed five drinks the next night and it snow balled like that. Now i drink maybe one beer every six months my girlfriends dad thinks it's week not to drink so i have a few more when i have to see him but that's only maybe once or twice a year.

fuck. how did you cut back. I need 3 drinks to sleep and I just stopped day drinking so I feel like I am close.

Your GF dad sound like a huge faggot

Just make shit for you to do. Pick up a new hobby, make sure you go to sleep on time, lift more, etc.

Im going to do it tonight Veeky Forums bros im just going to do cardio in the basement all night. Fuck drinking its making me fat and unmotivated.

I drank 10-15 shots of gin every night for two years and the only thing that worked for me was a drastic change in environment. I took a job in a completely different part of the country and got rid of my car (I'm now in a major city). The change in my schedule and daily activities rebooted my mind and removed me from situations that I associated with alcohol. It's the only thing I've tried that allowed me to stop drinking for more than a couple of days. It's not even an issue anymore.

Why do none of you wankers drink? I pride myself on drinking alcohol. I don't get drunk much but I often have a drink. I'm not some filthy Muslim lover.
