This probably breaks a rule, but I need some tips from older folks

[2stepz_ahead]

First of, props to you for wanting to better yourself. Shit aint easy, but wanting to better yourself is the first and most important step.

Second, you have to try and find the root cause of why you have a drinking problem. For some people its just a habit. If that trully is the case with you, if you change your environment and really focus hard on stopping, you'll be able too. Unfortunately though for most people addictions are an effect of a cause and not the other way around. In that case, you might be battling something like depression and not even know it. Its not normal for a person to have to be intoxicated to feel like youre normal.

If you dont find the root cause of your addiction and just say your gonna stop the addiction, you will most likely fail. For some people though, stopping the addiction gives a person purpose and that leads to them defeating the root cause without realizing it though.

Either way, youre not alone. Everyone in this thread had something about themselves they would change but they keep failing to do so. It doesnt have to be as impactful as alcoholism.

Keep your head up and stay strong bro. Its a marathon and not a sprint. The process will have ups and downs, but dont give up on the process. Long as you have the want to do so, you will eventually be successful whether it takes 2 months or 2 years.

this says it all.

Props on trying to get right but that road gone be hard as fuck. I drink EVERYDAY I was suppose to stop last month then it was this month then it was Monday and now its just try to cut back. You ain't gone quit cold turkey. Your best bet is to cut back like someone else said. If you drink a bottle a day drink half. Its hard but you can make it as long as you put it in your mind. Not just think it but make it a lifestyle

I think I can quit cold turkey. Thing is, I'm not a regular drink, I just binge drink when I do drink. I did not drink for 2 months, then last night I blow 500 bucks @ the bar and slept in and missed work. Might lose my job and threw a bunch of money away because I'm the kind of person that can go without, but when i indulge it gets the best of me.

I just kicked the habit during my last incarceration. It took weeks to get it out of my system. I couldn't fall asleep until I started to sweat it out of my system. Honestly your best bet is just to avoid other people who drink heavy. Avoid situations that cause you to drink. If you drink out of stress or depression, remember that alcohol itself is a depressant and will only make things worst. Also, remember alcohol itself is a sin. God says that if we avoid alcohol in this lifetime we can drink heavenly alcohol in the next.

This was hilarious!
