How do I defeat my alcoholism Yas Forums
dont keep it in your house
Weed
Embrace
If Wayne Lambright can stop drinking, so can you.
stop drinking? Just stop buying alcohol dude lmaoooo
Heroin
Replace it with another positive addiction. Exercising for example
Same way I beat my pot addiction/ masturbation addiction... be obedient to God.
Get a second job.
Not gonna lie Wayne I was gonna vote for myself in the Democratic primary but I might go bright instead
stop being an indian
Accept it
Go to AA meeting daily
Do the steps
Or just decide you are sick and tired of being an alcoholic and decide to stop drinking out of respect for your self and others, and then go to AA.
>stop drinking? Just stop buying alcohol dude lmaoooo
I am drunk right now literally off hand sanitizer
I have a 37 year old parrot cag and cannot find a sitter who will work for free so i cannot go to rehab until i do
I work for usps and at a grocery store as produce to pay my 300k mortgage
Find something that helps give you meaning and a reason
Anything other than the booz to look forward too
>Go to AA meeting daily
I go to 2 a week but everytime I buy food I buy liquor idk how ot help myself without fundamentally changing my life which I cannot afford
>Find something that helps give you meaning and a reason
>Anything other than the booz to look forward too
I used ot keep venom reptiles infact if you mentioned my name on fauna classified people would probably know me but changes in the law killed my businesses and ever since Ive been drinking to cope with the loss of my pets
Former alcoholic here. 10 shots of wild turkey between 7 or 8 jack and diets 4 times a week because I was too hung over the other days. Weed saved my life. I dont smoke anymore, but it was a great bridge to fill the gap while stopping.
idk Yas Forums do i give up the parrot i spent 30 years with that love me dearly for rehab or do I continue failing to control myself
> Don't keep it in your house
> Tell yourself daily, I won't drink today.
You're probably going to be locked in your house for a while with this COVID thing. Do not order new alcohol. Getting through your addiction is not a lifetime journey. It's a daily journey. Everyday you are going to have to tell yourself, if I want a drink I'll do it tomorrow. When you wake up tomorrow you'll tell yourself the same thing. Today can't be the day you drink. You have to put off drinking the same way people put off responsibilities. Right now you're beholden to liquor, and it's a bad habit. So treat it like a stack of dishes in a frat house and "do it tomorrow".
Making more excuses? You cant stop drinking because someone has to watch your bird.
Fucking lame excuse
If you have no self control to the point where you wanna drink handsanitizer just end it all
Hurr i cant stop without people telling me im good at rehab
Tl;dr
Drink water not booze you idiot and somehow your life will get much better
Call the mormon missionaries, even if you don't convert they will help you. They're also really funny to talk to if they're boys or if you're lucky they'll send a couple of cute girls talk to.
A lot better than AA.
I live in far northern wi like literally 2 lane highways for days everyday I go to kwik trip and buy 5 earthquakes
>AA
Spontaneous(ie no specific cause) remission rate is higher than AA remission rate. AA would increase the chance that he stays alky, not reduce it.
should I stream it the only I ammo I have left is 22 wmr I dont wanna use my 39 cause I dont want peopel who know me to have ot clean up a mess but do you think a 22 wmr would be enough to kill me?
One shot at a time
Just stop drinking. It's easy.
Taper down and only drink when you have symptoms of WD
>Making more excuses? You cant stop drinking because someone has to watch your bird.
Maybe the bird can be part of his motivation to quit. OP, you don't want to leave your bird an orphan, do you? Because they live a long goddamn time, and you won't if you keep it up.
>defeat my alcoholism
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and ask Jesus Christ to show you the way.
Start running and doing exercise and take long steam rooms and saunas.
You need to sweat the alcohol out.
When I was homeless there were Indian dudes who would do that. I mean I've gotten drunk on mouthwash so I don't have a lot of room to shit on people. I wouldn't go to rehab right now user, you'll get corona'd.
If you're sure you need to quit then you have to tailor a custom plan for yourself. Whether it's the three drink maximum or total abstinence. Using groups or not. It's up to you alone to find your personal way out. Find your own alcohol rules and abide by them. This victory is one of the most beautiful parts of life.
Should I give my IRL my bank info and my credit cards? thats what they suggested so I can no longer buy shit, I trust them but idk for hte long term
i mean to my IRL frens
Stop buying it
If that's what it takes. I worry though that this is diverting your own initiative too much. Later you can get new cards or use cash. Might be a good interim solution though.
Hang tough. You have to find your personal way and it's a lot harder for some of us.
You dont man.
just stop drinking faggot, thats it, thats all there is to it.
i never understood this addiction bs. "i want to stop drinking" *drinks anyway* retard.
same like fat cunts " i want to loose weight" *eats 10 cakes* fucking spastics
Unfortunately it also works in the reverse
its impossible for you to understand addiction because you don't have an addictive personality/genetic trait
Replace it with videogames
Don't orphan your bird by dying of alcohol, OP. He needs you.
Use pot.
When you use pot you will be far less likely to get drunk.
bullshit
Rum til I die
I can personally say this is one possible answer.
avoid being home and alone. Get out and socialize. Be active at parties, maybe pick up dancing or bowling.
Every dot and feather Indian I've ever known has been a drunk.
Stop drinking fren
naltrexone daily tablets, or if you can afford it / have insurance, the monthly injection
naltrexone
This might be the best answer in the thread actually
your genetics dont make you go to the fucking shop to buy booze, u decide to do that. because you dont actually want to stop drinking.
>I am drunk right now literally off hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer costs more than whiskey right now. Should’ve sold it and got something better.
Idk bro, really wish the alcohol demon didn't have my soul
t. Alcoholic that will be dead from drinking within the next 5 years, likely the next 6 months
I hope you never have to experience being an addict. It is the worst thing in the world. I'm a using alki, and it is hurting my body now cause I'm getting older.
If you don't understand it, think of a moth that flies into bug zapping lights. We are still humans, so don't hate us.
You have to find the reason why you drink in the first place. The reasons you think you do, are probably not the reasons why you do. It's something you need to ask yourself over the course of a few days maybe even weeks. Take for instance myself, if any alcohol is in my house I will drink it doesn't matter what it is if it's an alcoholic beverage I don't have to like it I will drink it. I think I drink it because 'I like drinking. Drinking relaxes me. Drinking makes me happy. Drinking makes me forget. Drinking makes me confident' etc. Why am I not relaxed already? Why am I not happy? What am I trying to forget? Why do I implicitly lack confidence if I'm saying it makes me confident why am I not feeling confident already? Those reasons are different for both of us. If you can muster that and choose to love yourself by working towards a future where you can thank your younger self for the decisions you have made you can quit drinking for good. For me, when drinking has gotten out of hand by affecting my health, mood, or wallet I quit for a little while and think of all the things I don't like about myself when I drink while sober that has helped too.
You’re under a diabolic assault. Recognize it. Admit your sin to Christ every night until you’re in tears. Think of the sins you’ve committed while drinking, and ask forgiveness for them. You’ll try and fail several times, probably. You’ll become angry with the notion of doing this, even if it seems like it’ll work at the beginning. The diabolical pressure will increase and you’ll probably cave in to it. If you cooperate with God’s Grace, you’ll come out the other side eventually.
t. former alcoholic
So if we kill the bird we can free OP from his alcoholism cage
You know what to do, autists
an hero
Just stop drinking
Great fucking advice in the middle of a fucking quarantine, eh?
surrender to christ
Just stop dude.
Get him a Chinese bird sitter?
Been trying to kick the habit for a decade. Can go all day not wanting a drop then as soon as the evening rolls around and I have a glass I dont want to stop.
If I have a bottle of scotch or something I can easily sit up until morning slowly sipping it barely maintaining a steady buzz until bottle is finished.
Went through a wine phase years ago. that was shit.
i'd wake up 3 in the morning after 3 bottles with my clothes still on and purple lips like a fucking idiot.
Alright but the first step is being able to tolerate reality at a length of time that is longer than your attention span, you need those few moments or seconds to build on before you can begin to make a life that is enjoyable for yourself
I have been totally unsuccessful
If OP dies of Coronavirus then he won’t be an alcoholic anymore.
I got myself a fancy aggravated dui
Dont even remember getting in my car, woke up in jail, apparently I destroyed my car
Im going to jail for it but court is delayed because corona
i dont hate you user, i just think you are stupid.
" i want to stop drinking"
*drinks*
"oh noes how did this happen"
literally it is easier to not drink than it is to drink.. just do nothing, just sit there. and like magic u havent drunk anything.
Chekmate
Withdrawl is real, takes about 2-4 days ro really get over it if you drink everyday.
I haven't had a drink since Feb 27 because Lent
and when I do drink I keep that shit under control for the most part
give your exact birthdate,i will make horoscope to figure out how serious it is
Hold your breathe as long as you can, that voice screaming at you to breathe is the identical feeling anybody with a severe addict has.
Idk bro, maybe you're tough enough to just hold your breathe until you die. I consider myself a very hard man, so do all of my peers. I beat everybody I know in feats of will power quite often. Alcohol and other addictions produces a trance state. You wont even realize you bought the bottle until youve had half of it. Youll be upset with yourself. Like some sort od horrible magic. The brain simply lies to you. You are the idiot for being unable to understand the multiplicity in how the brain rationalizes behavior.
Oh cool a normal person
>genes don't influence decision-making
Well gee, I guess niggers nig because of white racism after all!
shutup faggot "witch"
go put graveyard dirt on someone's porch like it will do anything
Stop arguing with that fucking dolt. If you want to make someone understand, I do. I went through it. Fuck that guy.
ease off slowly, cold turkey kills your system, drink sweet tea or soda, ideally juice to help ween off. because sugar.
>from a former hard alcoholic, light casual drinker now.
Just someone who knows how to fucking drink
I wont lie some days I say fuck it and get drunk at home either shitposting or playing vidya
former alcoholic. used to shovel down 42 standard drinks a day.
first of all you really have to want to quit.
once you actually want to quit get rid of all the alcohol in your house. get magnesium citrate, a b-12 complex and something to help you sleep (valerian root, chamomille tea, melatonin, pick your poison.)
take 500mg magnesium every night, your b-complex and your sleep supplement.
have something to do when you're bored. for the first few months you're going to be very bored ALL of the time. great time to pick up a new hobby.
drop all of your drinking buddies.
once your face isn't bloated and ugly, you've lost weight, your life starts coming together, you gain back 10 iq points it'll be hard to get back on the sauce. the initial anhedonia is the worst but it goes away in like a month or two.
also please understand that you will never be a social drinker, you're not wired that way. personally i don't see a point in drinking social at all.
Shut up, fag.
blaming genes for stupid decisions is a cop out. u cant change your genes, u can change your behavior. " but muh genes" is just a way to divert the blame away from yourself. man the fuck up.
