Rebelutionsssss said:
nice job man! I'm realizing how much money I spend on alcohol and it's still not enough to stop me her grip is strong. I've been drinking pretty heavily since I was 16, I'm 23 now and I just realize that everyone my age is getting out of that heavy drinking phase but I'm stuck drinking every night religiously. I just can't stop for some reason
I have the same problem, and when I stop I go through withdrawals.
I really wanna stop though; I like to be clear-headed when I need to be, and I hate anything having control over me like that.
I'm getting some benzos here soon, to be able to stop without going through the DT's again.
I think it is ridiculous how hard it is to do that through normal channels such as doctors.
I'm pretty sure that will be enough. I have tried cold-turkey a few times in the last month and there is just no way.
Luckily I don't get addicted to benzos.

Pray in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first 
I don't think praying will stave off the DT's for me, but I get my benzos tomorrow.
I can drink to that! XD

The depression is fucking crushing when you first stop, I have some kratom to help with the first few days but even that's only a bandaid. When did you guys notice that your cravings became less harsh?
The moment I started taking benzos.
Truth is, I don't even like alcohol.
It is just... Always there.

IME, it depends on the group.
Some groups care and expect you to be ashamed, some groups welcome all, some (if not many or most) are complete Jesus freaks, too.
AA only made me want to drink more. Same thing with that fucking court appointed "class" I had to take for probation.

Why is that? What is your motivation to quit?
I had the same problem and I realized I was doing it for other people.
That won't work. Even when it was for a significant other, when I actually cared, it only held for so long. Maybe a year and a half?
The others, well funny thing is I actually thought they were my friends at one point.
They weren't friends. Friends support you in the choices you want to make.
Some were self-righteous morons trying to live vicariously through others by dictating how they should live their lives to offset their own boring failure of an existence, having gotten nowhere in life while simultaneously doing nothing of interest to anybody.
Others were just people who got scared when their personal boundaries of what should constitute normalcy and/or sanity were shattered.
Honestly, the first group can fuck off. The second... Even though part of me feels bad, they are better off not knowing me in the first place. I then realized California was overflowing with these motherfuckers (mind you, this certainly wasn't everybody, just a disproportionately large amount compared to other places I've been). I guess it's good that I got out of there, even though it wasn't really something I had planned for prior to jumping on Amtrak.
Funny thing is I only drank a little since I got here and haven't had a problem with it yet.
I'll stop rambling. There is a point buried in there somewhere, if you aren't really doing this all for yourself.
If you are, well... It would make me wonder what pushed you to the decision to start again.
It always starts with "just the one or two" drinks, so that is a given and I'm sure you already knew that.
So, if not for other people why the internal conflict making you think differently at two different times?
If it's because of stress and stuff like that, there are other outlets to channel it you could use.
Hell, other drugs are probably better if you have a serious problem with that and not the rest.

Well, you could always get RC benzos or something like 1,4-BD which you can legally order online in the US.
I recently (as in days ago) came off the DT's, a reoccurring theme in my life.
I got some 1,4-BD and did a couple mL's and I didn't even want alcohol anymore, and felt great.
I can't imagine this going so well in an institutional environment.
