Or grow yourself an iboga plant and treat yourself with that if you think you're addicted.

When I quit drinking, I avoided bars for about 6 months, smoked weed when I wanted. After about 6 months, being around it wasn't a problem any more. Occasionally I would have a craving and drink, but it never stuck.
Besides smoking weed (which was really helpful), I was smoking cigarettes at the time, started exercising, meditating, and doing psychedelics! I think working on my diet was also very helpful. My diet at the time I quit was poor, and was a source of pain, which was a reason to drink. I don't think being a smoker was helpful, but if you do smoke I wouldn't recommending trying to quit until after you have the alcohol handled.

interesting you mention that, i was thinking of iboga as an option..
i think for now though i'll be able to survive using meditation and yoga, as well as striving to improve my diet..
i've also noticed that hanging around certain people will make me want to get absolutely wasted, so i've identified and successfully blockaded myself from certain people.. gotta do what's best for myself and set an example for people who i feel may not know any better yet..
anyways guys thanks for the ideas. always, your friendly neighborhood bird

Just take shrooms and acid instead. They're good for personal growth and I find that they can help you realise that you need to change certain things.

I'm in a very similiar situation OP
I use to be a heavy drinker, but I stopped for a long time. A few months ago, I picked up drinking. Its so hard NOT to. ALL my friends drink, my parents drink, my sister drinks. Everywhere I go, there is booze available to drink basically. My parents don't give a rats ass if I come home drunk, I just can't drive (I wouldn't anyways)
I smoke weed to try and keep it away, but I love booze too much, and its always around, and not so illegal.
What to do.......

idk, i think it would be harder for me to go on drinking and destroy myself and make all the people around me sad. it's truly awful to think about..
i watch all these older alcoholics displaying such stereotypical childish behaviors.. some that i see in myself, shit that i don't want.. i want to experience the best things in life and for me alcohol nas absolutely no place in that
my liver and brain are all fucked up and i'm still so young, ain't goin' out like that

I drink on and off, not very heavy, but I don't want to drink at all. Its just so hard when everyone around you is drinking every day basically and I'm always offered tons of free booze.. and its fun as hell but I dunno...
