By realizing you in fact never were.

Finish your drink.

Get an empty alcohol bottle, an empty glass, put them both on the table in front of you and just sit there and stare at them until you don't have an urge to drink

I used to drink a 6 pack and a couple shots every few days. I still do but I used to too.

Imagine how you would be considered the town drunk back in the day and that you are a disgrace. Do you really want to show how weak you are and that you have the same moral code as the man living under the bridge?

Take mushrooms, think about your life goals, enjoy the headspace, heal

Psychedelics, kratom, phenibut, exercise, trust nature over yourself

Figure out what is missing from your life, and work towards obtaining it.

Don't quit entirely. The greatest battle a man can win is the one against himself. Right now you don't own yourself. Do you get cravings? The shakes? How often do you drink and how much? I need more information to correctly advise you.

7beers a day

Simple answer

start more fun hard drugs

Aye, you're deep in your cups. Do you go out to drink or stay at home? Drink with others or drink alone?

That book hypnotizes you, I can't believe it worked

I know a couple guys that dropped their lives and joined the military. One took shrapnel in Afghanistan and bled out on a plane to Germany, flirting with nurses until the bitter end.

Based. I have a couple beers left over myself and I'll drink to that.

you drink until you can't anymore 100% fool proof plan to not being an alcoholic anymore.

>falling for the fermented beverage Jew
not gonna make it

seven beers per day really isn't that much especially if they're typical hefeweizens. i mean, it ain't healthy, but until you've reached the point where you need a handle of vodka per night, it will be pretty easy to quit. do you still get hangovers? if yes, there's still time. if instead you're waking up feeling pretty ok for the first couple of hours (save for dehydration) but start having uncontrolled tremors ~4 hours after you've been up it's time to seek help

Totally un-ironically you can’t do it alone. These fags who just say quit can fuck off. Go to AA. I know it sucks, but it can save your life. Plus, not a bad place to meet sober women/make sober friends/network/build social skills. I’m an old user (48), that’s the only way I’ve ever seen it work. Godspeed Fren.

I went for 4yrs. Didn't get it. Bunch of people sitting around sharing funny stories, patting eachother on the back for fucking up their lives
>Yay! One day! Come get a chip!
>Lets hold hands and pray!
And don't get me started on some of the more retarded stories....
>I drank three glasses of chardonnay, drove home and crashed into a tree! 2 weeks later I drank three glasses of chardonnay and crashed into another tree, and that's why I'm here!
Or fat native americans rambling incoherently about their spiritual advisors.
Meetings MADE ME WANT TO DRINK.

start a diary where you keep track of your intake dosage
lower intake slowly untill its casual i.e. 2-3 beers on a weekend then quit by stopping to do it

you can do it alone, but it does require very strong willpower (and health insurance). i mean, it's best if you have at least someone to call... but so long as you can suffer through the first 24-48 hours of sleight seizures and maybe minor hallucinations you'll be fine. i would have a heart rate monitor though, because there's a real chance you'll go tachycardic. if you're resting heart rate is sustained at 150+ bpm it might be time to call someone or go to the er

I thought drinking was haram

Avoidance of the issue isn't a cure though. I know AA is a good thing and helps many people but if he wants to stop being an alcoholic AA won't work for him. There they say "I'm user, and I'm an alcoholic. It's been 4 years since my last drink."

They consider themselves to still be alchies years after stopping. If he truly wants to conquer his problem he needs to be able to go to a bar with a wallet full of money, have 3 beers with his friends then call it a night. Total self control. It's not easy, I know from experience but it's achievable

stop drinking dumbass

Truthpilled. I could never go to AA because I would feel the need to drink just in order to go. AA is not for everyone

if youre drinking a ton of beer everyday you are most likely very deficient in testosterone which is what will give you not just the energy you need to quit drinking but to start doing the other stuff you have known you need to do but blamed drinking as to why you werent doing it
you need to start fixing your diet and get your body to start producing more test. you can keep drinking for now but over time you will find a will to stop as long as you eat properly
here is a good starter list
i recommend start incorporating garlic, spinach and onions either all at once or just adding it to stuff you already eat as they are easy and fit into many dishes
good luck user. you can make it

Aye, social anxiety was one of the reasons I used to overindulge. AA would not be for me either buddy. Once I built more confidence the willpower developed

I have that kind of control and I'm still an alcoholic.
The definition of being an alcoholic is you can't spend over a week without consuming it.
If you have 2 cans of beer a day (like I do every night when I get home from work) you're an alcoholic anyway.

It's really weird at 1st, but you are under no obligation to talk to anyone if you don't want to.

I thought alcoholism was the state of addiction.

I stopped after I got pancreatic exocrine deficiency and diabetes. You'll probably stop by then, too.

Stop drinking

AA and Jesus, totally serious, changed my life

Fair points user. I just couldn't do the whole "giving myself up to a higher power" part. There is no higher power in my mind than me. I hold Dominion over myself, so even if there were a God, he gave me free will, so my mind is still my own

>AA and Jesus

American solutions to alcoholism won't work.

Total commitment.

If you can't control yourself, do you think you can after a few beers? Just be careful that one addicition doesnt replace another.

Stop listening to what the TV tells you, how to behave and what to do, stop caring what others do.

for Europeans

Me too, user. Good on you man.

magnesium, b12 and vitamin D3. also theanine

>The definition of an alcoholic is you can't go more than a week without it
Is that true? I've been going out with friends every 7 days now for about 2 months. I pretty much wouldn't socialize without it because of how boring everyones lives are. I've done it and it was shitty, barely any conversation the entire night. I was thinking of maybe trying to replace it with pot, but it's hit or miss. Sometimes I get really quiet on it.

Drink juice, it's sweeter than beer.

You just stop. It sucks and it's hard and I hate it but it's this or a grueling protracted death and liver failure.
>t. Sober for 3 consecutive days

you do that, you die. One has to wean, which is a shitty idea because for someone can't control themselves, just makes them keep drinking the same amount. OP's best bet is to go to a clinic.

Weed

same here

This. Start by refusing to drink alone and think of one thing you really want (like a new computer) When you go out, start by only taking enough money to buy 4 beers. Keep a running total of how much you spend. Every day think about how much you'd rather have that computer than the temporary (and now in the past) pleasure of those few pints

I'm anywhere between 8-12 on any drinking day depending on the abv. The first step to quitting is wanting to quit. My wife and I are both alkies and we are quitting together. It's been 2.5 says. And I'll I've wanted since 4pm Friday is a fucking Sam Adams cold snap.

any /metoprolol for life/ bros in the thread?

Find power stronger than alcohol for you.

I had atrial fibrilations twice, it's no joke

What?
Never been a need it 24/7 type of drunk. Can go weeks without it no prob. Then I'll stay drunk for 3-4 days straight. Rinse repeat. I'm getting too old for this shit.

You know sometimes you drink so much of one type of liquor that you can't even look at it without feeling sick? That "fuck jäger, last time I drank it I fucked a 350lb woman and pissed the bed" thing? I drank different types of alcohol systematically until I eventually got that response from all of them. 4 years sober as of last Friday

If all else fails OP get some Antabuse then have a pint. You wont want another

That's Southern Comfort for me. 3 hours dry heaving in my teens and 20 years later on I still won't touch the stuff

dyou get put on amiodarone? that shit almost killed me.
it's a beta-blocker. used to treat high-blood pressure and heart arrhythmia. got prescribed it because years of being an alcoholic completely fucked my heart and i had permanent sustained tachycardia. also on magnesium and potassium supplements.
PSA to any current alkies itt: take mag oxide and potassium supplements. hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia (cause by excessive alcohol use) can fuck your heart up good and kill you

So you went to a 12 step fellowship and never did the steps, and wonder why the healing aspects of the steps didn't work?

You couldn't even do AA right

One bottle of gin when I was 22. NEVER AGAIN. Was like drinking pine sap.

Stopping drinking is hard if alcohol is near.

Stop buying alcohol, its far harder to keep drinking if you gotta go to the store, rather than to the nearest cupboard.

And the endgoal is to stop alcholism, but the key is DO NOT THINK FAILURE MEANS DEFEAT. If you fuck up one day, accept it and attempt to try better the next day. Sometimes its progress just to slow a downwards turn.

>You didn't do it right! nanny-nanny-poo-poo!
Works for some people, doesn't for others.

Don't need it but I sure as fuck want it. Also I do a shit ton of remodeling on my home and man alcohol will fucking power me thru everytime. I'm mad I got to this point. I wanted to drink so bad today but I got thru it and I can add another day sober under my belt. It's hard German bro. It's hard.
