Date: April 26th, 2025 4:37 PM Author: tarrifs There isn't any one weird trick. If you want to stop drinking, you need to not drink. Throw away all your booze. Don't buy any more. Don't go to bars. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5716732&forum_id=2Elisa#48883368) |

Date: April 26th, 2025 9:12 PM Author: Pierbattista Pizzaballa This doesn’t work for alcoholics:
Here are some of the methods we have tried: Drinking beer only, limiting the number of drinks, never drinking alone, never drinking in the morning, drinking only at home, never having it in the house, never drinking during business hours, drinking only at parties, switching from scotch to brandy, drinking only natural wines, agreeing to resign if ever drunk on the job, taking a trip, not taking a trip, swearing off forever (with and without a solemn oath), taking more physical exercise, reading inspirational books, going to health farms and sanitariums, accepting voluntary commitment to asylums - we could increase the list ad infinitum. |

Date: April 26th, 2025 9:45 PM Author: ,.,,,. Yes. In fact average American male is about 220lbs and drinks a 6pack. It doesn't make him drunk but just instinctively to supplant some sugar calories. They could just as easily not drink at all and just eat more. Or they can be a skinny methhead or skinny vodka drinker. Sex is not something such people can do regularly and probably wouldn't enjoy it with their equals. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5716732&forum_id=2Elisa#48883983) |

Date: April 26th, 2025 9:17 PM Author: Pierbattista Pizzaballa You don’t have to live like this, brother.
Go to an AA meeting and listen for the similarities. Find a guy you think you can tolerate and ask him to get coffee with you. He will gladly say yes - it will be weird how excited he is to talk to you and try to help. If you don’t like that meeting go to different one. There is a solution.
I’m in an AA meeting right now, not flame. What you’re describing is what we call the jumping off point. You can’t imagine continuing to live life with alcohol and you can’t imagine a life without it. But there is an amazing life for you if you’re will to try and get some help.
I made threads like this on XO for almost a decade until I finally got sober. A lot of poasters have and did get sober. We know the fear and anxiety all too well. I used to brush my teeth and think, “maybe today will be the day I don’t drink” and it never was until I accepted some help. There is a way out.

Date: April 26th, 2025 9:43 PM Author: shit dick ((zurich is stained)) i quit. if i did it, you can.
you need to take some affirmative action toward stopping though. i never thought i could live without it, but once i entered a detox program and was clean for 2-3 weeks my cravings more or less went away.
fwiw, the rehab didn't do shit for me, but having some structure for a while was nice. i didn't get anything out of the meetings and thought the people were pathetic losers. the meetings were remote bc it was during the lockdowns in 2021. there was one meeting where this bitch attended via facetime drunk AS FUCK walking around her parents' front yard. nobody called her on it either. |

Date: April 26th, 2025 9:48 PM Author: i gave my cousin head It's pretty hard
It sounds dumb but the only way I was able to quit was to force myself to stop buying it.
I was able to mooch here and there but after like six months I never even thought about it and moved on
Now like ten years later I'll have a drink to three a year and that's it
Rarely ever want more |

Date: April 27th, 2025 11:05 AM Author: ,,.,.,..,.,.,,.,.,....,,,.,.,.,...,,.,.,..,..,,.., One of the things that helped me when I felt like I was powerless to quit was getting one of those wearable heart rate monitors. It would rate the quality of my sleep, and show me the evidence, each night. When I was drinking hard, my heart looked like it was dying every day. Then one day I didn’t drink because I didn’t have any and the stores were closed and suddenly my heart recovered and I had a great night of sleep. The monitor really helped me visualize the damage I was doing to myself, and showed me the rewards each day of not drinking.
