im starting to drink more and more so i really need to quit. the longest i went was a year and that was a few years ago and the shortest was a week. only thing i have to focus on his my health and money. to be honest, i want to quit for about a year then drink only on occasions. i need to get away from this every day drinking.

I quit 29 years ago. You can so this, it just takes some willpower and a commitment to be better than you were yesterday. You don't have to worry about the future - it will take care of itself. Worry about not drinking TODAY. The rest is just bullshit that can drive you crazy, but not crazy enough to drink.

I'm 2-3 months sober now. I'm a full blown alcoholic, there is no moderation for me. I take 1 drink and lose all self control and end up black out drunk throwing shit, punching walls and screaming and what not.
First few days were hard, because I found myself always bored, nothing seemed fun without the alcohol, so I'd stare at a wall and just thinking about getting drunk constantly. I'm to the point now where I don't care much about it. I don't really find myself thinking about it very often anymore, even the cigarette cravings (quit that in April of 2012) are a lot worse than the cravings for alcohol.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

thats exactly how i was in my early 20s. now i can drink a chunk and still be able to control myself. if only i was in a position to smoke or eat edibles. if it were up to me, id eat eds every day.

i'm working on my 4th day off of alcohol again after a 70 day break. I have been drinking a solid month and my liver started to hurt bad. i'm saving my alcohol consumption for raves and burning man. fuck that addiction shit. it only leads to seizures for me. I told myself I could just drink beer every night and found myself waking up to drink a bottle of rum all day, then a few beers at night. not a good habit.

not bad yet. I drank about 6 beers a night for at least 3 years before I got into rum. stick with beer and you might just get fat. that's what always happened to me. I never had a true physical addiction to alcohol before the rum.

If you're only drinking this much quit before it gets worse. Alcoholism can get a lot worse than 6 beers a night man...
