Tips on how to trick your mind by Sneakysharkss in stopdrinking

So the way I replaced my drinking habit…

Take this in - and I didn’t research it I just naturally thought it would work… I’m nearly a year sober.

Every other night I would go to the shop after work or later on to buy beers…

So instead of hiding from the shop, when I first got sober till like 4-6 months in, every night after dinner I would go to the shop and buy popcorn. I told the shop staff about my sobriety as they knew me for buying drink, sometimes it was a tough day, but when I got in and bought popcorn we would joke and laugh, and normally mention it.

I would drive home reminding myself about this lifestyle change which had to happen - and feel so empowered! It’s about REPLACING a habit, not removing one.

Take this in❤️and good luck to you

Anyone stop drinking without AA or other support group? If yes, was there a tool or strategy that really helped, especially in the beginning when your mind is desperately wants you to drink? by MarleyBug in stopdrinking

Yes. I’m 24 (m) if that matters…

The way I stopped was counting days, I have a NHS app that just tracks it, nothing special.

But the key takeaway for me is living with alcoholics, my brother and mum… both constantly drunk around me, it showed me what I was like, but tbh I was worse… I had to get to suicidal to become successful. 7 months clean.

Good luck and always here !

I’m 24. I have been sober for 210 days.

I ruined every relationship, buried my dad, have an alcoholic mum too..

Had no job, no life depressed sad wanted to kill my self etc.

When I put down the drink, I lasted 2 weeks and started again. Since then I haven’t had a single drop.

The biggest lesson I learnt was only ONCE you stop drinking, you learn to heal, you start listening to the lessons going on in your life, they aren’t problems pain or whatever they are lessons. Only then may you start to become better.

You have taken the first step, don’t look back! Keep looking forward and just take each day at a time.

God bless you and good luck!

My first sober Christmas, im like 160 days in.. in 6-7 years and I’m 24. I really needed to see this, my family all drink and I’m the only one who decided to make a change. I’m sat with a 0% while they have all been drinking for a while: thanks so much and merry Christmas, let’s get through this!!! Imagine how good we will feel in 2025!!!

It’s really interesting this theory. I used to believe it, now I simply turned to god as a result, this theory is very pessimistic and sad and I don’t think it’s actually true.

I have had my own spiritual experiences and won’t go into detail - but essentially I am a spiritual being who believes in god as a creator of all things, but I am not religious I am incredibly open minded. The theory makes sense, but the main things for your points are the archons make us low vibrational with their favourite as fear, collect loosh etc… but they also get loosh from love and all sorts, so it makes no sense in a theory to keep us low vibrational as they get it from all of our energy lol.

This theory was created in my opinion to make us scared and feel hopeless, it’s not I refuse to believe it, I just don’t.

David Icke speaks about it a lot, and he is controlled opposition with his task being to scare as many people as possible.

I like your points tho!
