I only drink 1-3 beers a week but sometimes I have days when I pound like 8 beers. It's getting more rare as time goes by now though. I can't go out and watch football with my friends if I don't grab a beer it's pretty hard. Only time I've succeeded is when I'm on kratom and at the bar then it's easy to not order one. I couldn't even imagine being physically dependent because the mental dependency is a bitch in itself.

I know that feel bro. I sometimes struggle with the compulsion to drink alcohol. I rarely drink more than 3 or 4 beers in a night, but I go through periods where I feel compelled to drink 2 to 3 beers every night. I try to curb this compulsion and it's not always easy.

Good luck...I hope you are willing to go to any length. 
You've humbled yourself to an internet community and that's a great start...now maybe it's time to do it in real life with the people around you that really count.

Thank you guys!
I have been straight with my family&close friends about my alcoholism. And find myself very lucky to have people that support my pursuit of control over alcoholism and say it to me straight when i have my head too deep in own my ass.
Just thought that i can vent this out all so here in shroomery.

It may seem like it is huge,but it is not that hard to do. If I were you I think I would at least scope out the local AA. The most useful advice that can be given is: Find something to replace your interest in booze. Maybe get really interested in health. "How can I get so healthy that I actually feel high on it." Some angle like that.
Another good piece of advice: If you don't succeed at first, try, try again. One of the times you try, all the ducks will line up and you will pull it off. Who knows? Maybe this is the time it will happen.

Day 6 for me. Was doing a quart o booze a day, more or less. Had to ween off for over a week before stopping. I've done cold turkey worse off than now and fuck that. Shiver me tremens.
Lots of food (after the puking was over and hunger slowly crept back)and tv shows I like and movies.
Good move.

I would imagine you're one of those people that stuck their big toe in it just enough to look for everything wrong about it. AA is a Godsend for millions of people including myself...but, usually only works when we have exhausted all other ways of controlling or stopping drinking.
Those that know about the way it really works know that it requires three pertinent commitments. 1) Trust that there is something bigger than us that could have created all of this and us...call that something whatever you like...I call mine GUS....Great Universal Spirit
2) Clean house...that means do a personal inventory of your past including things that you are not proud of then admit those things to someone.
3)Help others....just means to be a part of the solution...not the problem...golden rule sorta stuff.
Wow! those are some pretty dangerous and cultlike commitments aren't they?...Not really,they just get to the causes and conditions of what keeps people drinking....Not for everyone.
Thanks for sharing.

I feel you OP. Luckily being physically active takes my mind off of abusing alcohol and drugs. But still once a week I will grab a case of beer and drink till I throw up and pass out. I have curbed the drinking everyday, but something inside me when I start drinking has to finish it all! Severe alcoholism runs in my family.

lol...that proves exactly my point of someone that put one toe in it....Rehabs have nothing to do with AA, by the way...if you knew anything at all about it....you would know that.
Anyway, it works but it's not for everyone...afterall...Nothing can help to keep a man in a state of everlasting ignorance more than contempt prior to investigation.

I'm the opposite kind of drinker. I generally drink moderately every time I drink, but I get in phases where I feel compelled to drink moderately every day. Not really a major problem for me, but still something I feel I should work on. Self control is a good muscle to develop.

I have friends who i meet on requal base who work in AA. And who give me honest feedback about my current situation when we meet.
I belive in greater power aka god aka everything aka LOVE
I`m in process of self studying. Belive me i judge myself quite hardly. And discuss with people about issues.
I think that work is best therapy for me atm. Have to be sober in morning in work. And i hate working in hangover. For me there is no one beer. it`s all ways more. usually much more. So only option for me is to abstain from drinking. I will not be too hard for myself though. I`m supposed to Go out with this lovely woman on sunday and i think i might let myself drink some red wine in restaurant...etc.
