I don't know how people can drink during the week. Nothing to look forward to on the weekends. I drink Saturday only and sometimes Sunday. I drink miller lite piss water as I can function still drinking 12 beers though the day with 1 glass of water for every 2 beers. I never get stumbling drunk but get a decent buzz. I feel it though if I drink Sat and Sun. Monday and Tuesday I basically feel like shit. So I'm always battling with myself basically telling myself I'm missing 2 days of the week feeling like shit. But to not have beer on Saturday, thinking about that bums me out. I think the people that say "life is so much better sober" are a bunch of liars.

I can't picture myself going to an outing where everyone else is drinking and I'm sipping seltzer water and telling myself I'm having fun. That's complete fucking BS if you ask me. I'd like to do 2-3g of shrooms and have a breakthrough and get off booze completely, but I'm not sure my PTSD brain can handle 7 hours of terror. I don't have the answer man. I am very adamant about having fun on the weekend and drinking during the week, like I said, there's nothing to look forward to. Nothing I like more than blasting annoying hair band 80's music on Saturday in the hot sun and pounding beers.
 
I don't get rehab, or AA. I muscled through getting off opiates at home. What's the difference if you're having a 1 week flu at a clinic or at home. I don't believe in group therapy either. Listening to others bellyache about their upbringing and their problems. Fuck that. Keep your drivel to yourself. And I also don't believe in the "I'm and addict, or I'm an alcoholic." IMO, in order to overcome something is to not continually reaffirming the very thing you are trying to get rid of. So instead of focusing on the so called fact that you are an alcoholic, why not focus constantly on the person you are now, and the person you desire to be, but in the present moment.

Pro tip, the physical withdrawal is the easy part. To get off drugs and booze, you're brain basically stopped making the normal feel good chemicals because the booze or drugs were releasing those. The brain basically says "well we got these drugs releasing dopamine and whatnot, so we don't have to do anything." Then you quit whatever substance you are on and expect your brain to pick up where it left off? Not happening. Hence the months of mental agony. There are supplements to kick start your brain, such as L-tyrosine, L-tryptophan, St. Johns wort, Fish oil and tons of meat and eggs and protein. Coupled with hard physical labor and or hard exercise in the hot sun, you'll get back on track a lot quicker. Exercise is key. I'm talking dripping sweat exercise in the hot sun.

Then there is the human connection, which I think is why people gravitate towards AA. But those things are not my thing. I'd rather get into a hobby and hang out with folks into that hobby rather than listen to a bunch of people bellyache at a meeting, but that's just me. Just the thought of going to an AA meeting, to me, is much more depressing than the mental aspect of the addiction itself.

The first day I cut back by half. Basically didn't sleep and had some weird ass thoughts/bodily feelings. It was too much too soon. Needed to go a bit slower to avoid withdrawal.

When my FIL (RIP) had to quit, i think his Dr had him on some medication to help with that.
He did stop but it was too late for him unfortunately.
He was also a severe diabetic and ate like shit on top of it.

And you're the classy fuck who likes to post pictures of your booze addiction in threads of dudes who are trying to quit. So pathetic.

and furthermore if the OP is looking for help he/she needs to seek professional counseling. not expect help on a music form or any place else that does not have the ability to help. This is the last place id seek help for any type of addiction or over indulging on something
