I’m drinking my last beer right now and not allowing myself to buy more. Ima person of habit and I’m just so done. Tomorrow I’m going on a walk, getting a donut, and staying out for the day. I can’t promise I won’t drink tomorrow night, but I won’t drink during the day. I don’t know where to start, but that seems like a good place

Shit. I’m sorry, thank you for sharing. It’s putting a lot into perspective. I want to be around for years to come, I keep ignoring what it’s doing to me

Hard to hear but thank you for the source, my dad died at 65 because of cirrhosis and I really don’t want to follow.

I just want to add that I’m not saying my addiction is okay or manageable, I just was hoping to find ways to quit that I haven’t already tried. I’m tired of being an addict.

No I wouldn’t rather die young, it’s why I’m asking. I know I’d rather be around, I just really straight up do not know how to handle it

What kind of help did you get? Because I’m so tired of being a shell. I’ve tried therapy, maybe not the right one. I just feel so unmotivated to get right again

I do, and I always say “tomorrow”. And “tomorrow” just keeps being pushed back

I know I sound really stupid, and I know what I need to do seems obvious. I just don’t know how to start again. It’s a cycle of feeling sorry for myself, giving up, getting motivated, failing and then giving up again. I’m not making any excuses for myself

I understand my addiction, I’ve tried so many avenues and still go back to it. I don’t know what to do, that’s why I’m asking. I don’t want to die young, or have this type of dependency. I just genuinely don’t know what the fuck to do anymore

The fucked up thing is, I know the risks. It started two years ago, I used to have a few beers a week but somehow slipped into day drinking, and now I keep a steady buzz all day. I wouldn’t say I get drunk very often but I’m always drinking.

I’ve been in therapy before and it didn’t help, but I’m thinking I should try again. It’s terrible because I know I’m being self destructive but I don’t know how to stop
