Its been 19 years since I quit my cannabis addiction.

I'm still very happy I did, 19 years on.

I used to drink daily. For years. Every single day I'd at least drink a 6 pack. Minimum. A lot of days I'd drink more than that. I went through many years where the days I went completely without a drink, for the entire year, was maybe a total of 2 or 3 weeks. These days occurred when I had absolutely no choice but to stay sober for whatever reason. Other than that, at some point that day I was having a drink.

In the last few years I have cut back dramatically. In 2019 I more or less cut that in half, in 2020 I got it down to drinking around 6 days a month, and now in 2021 I've gotten it down to 3 to 4 drinking days a month. So yeah, I haven't completely gone sober by any means, but it's night & day from what life used to be for me. Instead of daily it's maybe once a week, sometimes just once every couple of weeks. 

But man, still, not a day goes by that I don't think about it. Everyday at some point the thought enters my head: "man it would be nice to go have some drinks right now". Now that urge is very rarely if ever strong enough for me to actually act on it, but still the thought doesn't ever go away. And like a true addict I am always looking forward to that next drinking session. Even if that session is a half month away.

Can anybody else relate? Doesn't have to be necessarily alcohol.

Niffla: I offer you a mindhack to get out of this. This actually works.

What you are suffering is that you fail to close an .exe in your wetware that keeps spamming you.

You can fix this easy as 1,2,3.


1) Think HARD and identify as many as possible VERY GOOD REASONS not to drink, then sift through these to find what yunites them, so you can strike more and more off that list as you consolidate them into more powerful reasons.

2) formulate 5 or 10 short slogans that in a positive way affirm these most important reasons. Dont say whats bad if you keep drinking, say what gets better and better if you don't drink. You are not lying to yourself and you know it. Shit improves for years to come as the damage undoes itself.

3) every single time you get even the slightest thought about drinking, state out loud your Top 5 or Top 10 reasons why staying quit gets way better and better.


Thats all, spam yourself like coca cola and mc donalds spam you, by repeating slogans over and over.

But these are HEALING slogans.

Now you give your brain a problem. It gets spammed shut every time it suggests a relapse even in the slightest. You march those slogans that are so meaningful to you in like its blitzkrieg. It systematically strips your brain's suggestion of all weapons and rank.

Your brain is not stupid:  keep this up and keep strengthening your convictions, and your balance will tip and your brain's default will be to rather smash a bottle on the floor than to drink one drop.

See how low the tier, the investment is? Just those three things.

So, form your platoon of the best possible reasons to do whats right and march them in at the slightest queef of an implied relapse. And again. And again.

It will stop.

Thats how your biocomputer works and this is one way to program it.

Get your soldiers in the game!





THOUSANDS OF TIMES IF YOU HAVE TO :warcry:


You won't have to.


Your brain is your friend and he's a quick learner :nicekitty:
