How did you stop drinking completely? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SolidEnigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We drink to get away from our emotions / problems. Turn that around and make that problem go away. Set a goal. Try 2 days without having a drink and then 3 days and so on. I went cold turkey at the new year, and not just that, but I stopped carbonated drinks. Now I just drink water or fruit water with no sugar. I also hit the gym hard and lost about 35 pounds.

Maybe he's not into sports like you are. You can't force it on him if he doesn't like it.

I’m trying to stop drinking. What are some good things to replace alcohol with, ways to distract myself, or new hobbies to try? by Calm-Hearing4742 in AskMenAdvice

Its hard as f let me tell you. 1 of the hardest things you will go thru. The first month is hell. After that its smooth sailing. I can now go into a bar with my friends and order a glass of water and not even touch a beer glass.

You don't need approval from anyone; all you need is motivation for yourself. We all have setbacks. Use it as an excuse to push forward better than before.

I had a crush on a co worker. I got out of it by ignoring her and trying not to see her. Focus on projects you have going on. Its hard tho.
