You've got to have something to look forward to, like your career, your bf/gf, family, friends, or all. For me, it's my family and God.
Surround your self with people who truly care about you, who wanna see you do well and be healthy.
This is a disease & it ain't going nowhere on its own. It's hard for me to admit that i'm an alcoholic, that I can't ever just have 1 drink without spiraling straight to shit.
It's only been 4 days for me, and it feels like an eternity! I can't say for sure that I won't drink again. This is an everyday battle, and I'm almost certain that once I get my life in order again, I will drink. No one's safe, but you've got to have something that you believe in.
Mushrooms have helped me greatly,

Good job bro. I've been a pothead for over a decade with a few multi month breaks during that span....10 days sober from THC should have you relatively close to normal (at least as far as normal appetite and sleep go). I'm sure your dreams are insane right now too can't really speak on the alcohol part tho
Hang in there bro, you're doing great

This is such an interesting contrast to my own experience. I'm also an alcoholic, by any conventional definition; and yet, most people probably wouldn't know it. I can have just one drink, although I do need to head into the experience knowing that I am intending to hard moderate in order to achieve that level of restraint. I can also have a drink with breakfast/lunch/whenever and proceed on with my day as usual. Nevertheless, there is rarely a day that passes in which I don't have 1-10 drinks, and although it hasn't produced any major setbacks to my ability to continue as a going concern, I recognize that this habit is very likely to set me up for a higher incidence of health issues later in life, and that I am also at a higher risk of the habit growing into something more uncontrolled and less sustainable.
Frankly, at 39 years old, I feel like I'm walking right on top of the knife's edge. So long as my footing remains sure, I suppose I'm fine... but I do believe it's time I start thinking more seriously about cutting back my use in a more meaningful and lasting way. After all, we all stumble eventually...

I ran out of delta 8 last night and am out of money. Looks like I’ll be quitting to but hopefully not long.

Ended my THC "fast". Yeah, I'm pretty sure life with moderate cannabis usage is better than that without. Maybe it's just me.

came to this conclusion as well after my 3rd real break, just replace "moderate" with "daily"

Drugs alter your mind, make your body groggy and limits your human potential
So they can be good tools

i also used to drink casually during the day for periods of time. Luckily for me, my ex gf taught me how to only drink at night (every night) so that i wouldn't have problems during the day, and it worked later in my life.
Back then i wasn't having too many issues, but years later, i started fucking things up due to my day drinking.
You know what the crazy thing is geo, that even though i feel better physically - more healthy and energy, i still think about getting fucked up every day. I fantasize about drinking by myself or with my friends.
I'm living like a hermit, not talking or hanging out with anyone. The reason is because ive cultivated friendships over the years with whom i bonded over drinking/using drugs.
It's sad and i miss my friends, but sadly i can't be around people who do drugs at this particular stage in my life.
I can't watch somebody drink and not do it, I'm not there yet

That's a little contradictory, don't you think?
But you're right, mushrooms are a great tool and they are to respected

weed/alcohol can also be great tools in moderation but i can't do it. It only takes one drink for me to wanna drink A LOT because i love that initial feeling/rush.
Weed is less pervasive but I can't have it available with me at all times because then I can't stop

I was sober for like 24 hours about a week like I smoke but only one time a day. But that was because I ran out and my friends only have so much weed. I got 10 grams of wax yesterday and have been smoking it and drinking alcohol. I woke up feeling like shit I literally was about to throw up but I hit the wax a few times and I’m feeling better. I don’t know how to stop I just don’t feel as good sober. I’m high right now. Also do you think AA or NA meetings can help? I have attended but don’t take it seriously.

Yes they do help, but you have to take it seriously. I attended a few meetings only but the stories I heard were heart breaking.
You have to be ready to take in this information and submit with an open heart, humbled by the experience of admitting to yourself that you can't do it on your own and that you need help
