Go to the gym or pick up more physical hobbies.

Why do you think you're an alcoholic? How does booze affect your life? Why do you want to stop? You gotta tell us somethings about you.

There are many types of alcoholics. It depends on what kind you are.

Quitting cold turkey is supposed to be the best option overall. Another suggestion is to keep alcohol out of your home. If you break that, try just one six pack from the bar (this is dangerous because after the six, you might feel inclined to drive and pick up more from the bar). Another suggestion is to start drinking later in the evening, but this might cause you to stay up way too late. You need to find something that works for you. One other option is to buy shit alcohol so your really do not enjoy it.

surprisingly the smartest advice here I think.

Thanks! I think ... hic

Just keep working at it; apparently you'll have set backs.

Don't feel bad about it just work toward where you want to be.

Realize it probably also impacts those around you.

Here's, hopefully, helpful links

I'll drink to that!

Try drinking only every other day.

[ - ] bobdole9 4 points 1 yearApr 17, 2023 22:28:12 ago (+4/-0)

Step 1: reducing your intake by half

Best if you don't binge on the every other day schedule.

[ - ] lord_nougat 3 points 1 yearApr 17, 2023 22:35:36 ago (+3/-0)

Yes; That is indeed the challenge. I was doing pretty well there for awhile, but everything got just that little bit more HONK to where I had to... wait, how are we defining "binge" here, because its not like I ever call in sick, since I don't get sickdays or days off or any of that crap. But that means I do work drunk tipsy some days.

[ - ] bobdole9 2 points 1 yearApr 17, 2023 23:35:56 ago (+2/-0)

Apparently "binge drinking" is consuming three drinks within a six hour period.

In Wisconsin, binge drinking is the precursor to the ER and getting your stomach pumped.

Don't drink like a Wisconsinite.

[ - ] lord_nougat 1 point 1 yearApr 18, 2023 00:15:44 ago (+1/-0)

Well that's a relief. I'm just a cliical binge drinker rather than a wisconsonoidal binge drinnker!

If you decide not to drink alcohol again, but drink alcohol again, go to an AA meeting. The enemy hates hates hates any mention of AA, but it's your life and must have more value than internet nobodies.

Whatever the criticisms of AA are, it's worked for more people than anything else we can name. All you do is walk in and sit down.

Good best to you.

[ - ] SumerBreeze 3 points 1 yearApr 17, 2023 22:19:47 ago (+4/-1)

You gotta find a good AA group - some have incredibly based members that you can make fun of kikes and niggers at openly.

[ - ] Anus_Expander 2 points 1 yearApr 17, 2023 22:17:07 ago (+3/-1)

AA has a success rate of 5-6%

[ - ] pickingrinninspittin 3 points 1 yearApr 17, 2023 22:40:51 ago (+4/-1)

Which happens to be the rate that people quit drinking on their own. Everyone knows somebody who says that that AA is the reason they quit the sauce, but the truth is that it's as effective as no intervention.

[ - ] GrayDragon 2 points 1 yearApr 18, 2023 00:18:29 ago (+2/-0)

I find that difficult to believe. Having the buddy that one can call at any time has to increase the success rate, and the humiliation of failure in front of a group also has to increase the success (assuming the participant is honest). It turns it into a pseudo-competition, and competitions definitely make most folks more inclined to win.

You haven't a clue what you're talking about. You clearly have no experience with addicts.

[ - ] GrayDragon 1 point 1 yearApr 18, 2023 08:06:36 ago (+1/-0)

As a semi-controlled alcoholic, I think I might.

[ - ] ToNigIsToNog -1 points 1 yearApr 18, 2023 00:40:18 ago (+0/-1)

the short of what you're saying is accountability and there are other solutions.

Stop drinking. Duh.

Don't drink. Get a job. Build a life for yourself. Get driven. Something to live for.

[ - ] HeyJames 2 points 1 yearApr 17, 2023 22:18:21 ago (+2/-0)

You're gonna have to ease into quitting. At the hospital they literally prescribe light beer for withdrawals.

[ - ] beece 2 points 1 yearApr 17, 2023 21:44:35 ago (+2/-0)

Just make it through one day at a time. Keep a full glass of water in your hand or nearby at all times, and eat something fatty (almond butter, real butter, Avocado).

1 day at a time. Just one day.

So was i in my 20s. I 'cured' it by making a beer season. I only drink in the summer and New Years eve. I has worked out well.

Just drunk lots of power aid and water

[ - ] La_Chalupacabra 1 point 1 yearApr 17, 2023 22:27:17 ago (+1/-0)*

If you find yourself thinking about it or obsessing/worrying over your failures to quit/moderate, then try to develop the skill to identify when you're doing that and distract yourself with something else.
For people like that, there's a little addict who lives inside their head (I refer to him as Slick) whose only purpose is to get them to give any kind of attention whatsoever to their addiction, even the bad kind.
Forgive yourself and move on to something else.

You may be an alcoholic, or you may just be currently drinking way too much.

If you want to stop or cut down, pick a day this week where you'll stop drinking alcohol for a full 30 days. Don't buy it. Don't be around it. Drink a lot of tea or water when you'd normally be getting drunk.

When my 30 days was over, I resumed drinking beers and such at a much more reasonable level. Like right now, I haven't had alcohol in 6 days, but am about to get a couple when I go to the market. Usually only have one per day after buying a few, but sometimes two.

Might help to think about why you don't want to be an alcoholic, and how your life goals may go with either choice.

you probably have high anxiety and are self medicating.

anti-anexity meds like busprine/lexapro will help. depending how you drink you are still young... if you can request lorazepam, it will knock you out naturally

gain confidence, the anti anxiety will help with with that

Then find a woman, she will keep you check

Learn to make your own and only drinking that is an option.

Alcoholism is genetic you can't save yourself, all you can do is save future generations from your sickness by not breeding.

Also, move away from White populated areas and into "diverse" areas so you will be more likely to inflict damage upon them instead of White people.

Then, I don't say this often, non-Whites, like you, need Jesus. Go find Jesus.

Call AAA and tell them you need help with addiction, and when they get confused, hang up and call AA.

[ - ] ToNigIsToNog 1 point 1 yearApr 18, 2023 00:37:35 ago (+1/-0)

neck yourself cunt.

[ - ] Master_Foo -1 points 1 yearApr 18, 2023 01:25:36 ago (+0/-1)

Why don't you explain exactly what you think I said is wrong?

Do you disagree that alcoholism is genetic? It is.
Do you want inferior destructive genes in the White gene pool?

What exactly is your problem?

Or, you can just soy the fuck out like an SJW who gets emotional whenever he encounters factual ideas he doesn't like.

"neck yourself cunt." is something a tranny would say when you tell him he "will never be a real woman".

[ - ] ToNigIsToNog 0 points 1 yearApr 18, 2023 09:29:05 ago (+0/-0)

"you can't save yourself".

bullshit. everyone can change, it's just that most people won't.

you want to live or project nihilism? nothing you do matters or will ever matter.

neck yourself cunt.

[ - ] Master_Foo 0 points 1 yearApr 18, 2023 12:16:24 ago (+0/-0)

OK go tell a Nigger to not be not to be a Nigger.
You can't change your Gene's.
You are acting like an SJW who doesn't like the fact that there are biological imperatives.

you want to live or project nihilism?
You are objecting to a force of nature dude. You might as well be telling me I'm a nihilist because I said OP can't do anything about his trailer getting sucked up by a tornado.
Even the most White pulled person recognizes this is a fact.
But, a blue pulled faggot like yourself will still disagree.

[ - ] ToNigIsToNog 0 points 1 yearApr 18, 2023 21:00:25 ago (+0/-0)

ironic choice considering my handle. why do you capitalize nigger?

a genetic predisposition to alcohol makes it more likely, not a death sentence.

by all means, project whatever you want. you missed on what being White is that niggers specifically failed at. Community. Whites can lean on others, especially in a rough patch.

alcoholism is not a tornado and is only related because it is a biological factor; tell me, if someone is genetically predisposed, but never consumes, are they doomed too?

fucking retard. neck yourself cunt.
