Just take every dollar that you would have used to buy booze and put it into the stock market. Then if you lose it wouldn't matter because the money would have been wasted anyway.

>> No.11425333

Surrendering to a higher power has nothing to do with Jesus per say. But christians in AA, of course, blend the two. It's more about telling your ego to shut the fuck up and let something else steer for a while. The spiritual element of AA is up to your discretion and creative license always. Christ fags in AA sometimes forget that, but you can wave big book quotes at em that say otherwise.

It's a "higher power" as you define it. Doesn't have to be Jesus, and it's not a focus in the meetings.

Try a meeting. They last an hour. You don't have to talk. The people are generally cool. I agree the 12 steps seem cultish, but they get people sober when nothing else will.

Check out Kava, it's a root that you make into a brew that a lot of people have used to replace booze. It's non-addictive and won't kill you and you wake up feeling awesome.

I still drink if I go out with friends, but I traded my nightly booze for Kava and no ragrets.

I straight up think AA utilizes a few cult tactics. (And that's a good thing) It's a sobriety cult that you join knowingly and voluntarily and can leave any time. The people in the cult almost universally simply want the other members to be healthy (and sober) Pretty harmless as cults go.

I was raised Christian, and I've even unironically tried reading the bible as an adult and taking it seriously. It's just too unrelatable. All the OT stories of God being an actual guy who gets pissed off and literally goes out of his way to punish people because he's angry just made me think it's a product of a time when there were actual human guys who could do things like that to you.

I'm in the same boat as you OP. For me it was socializing that I just can't seem to get past without drinking. It sucks. I read This Naked Mind, and it helped some but I still drink. Try it though.
Being single sucks when you are a drinker though. You want to go on dates but alcohol always seems to be involved and makes getting laid easier. I would smoke weed if I could but I get drug tested.
Try This naked mind though man, you can find an ebook easy enough. It sort of hypnotizes you to control your alcohol through repetition of ideas in the book and doesn't even ask you to quit really. That and I've found that if you get a good streak going, that is really motivating. Then you have to face the challenges as they come. I went like 25 days earlier this year then I celebrated a friends bday and fucked it all up.
Good luck. The struggle is real.

Unironically Jesus is the only path to God and he will heal you if you let Him. The Old Testament has the "angry" God you speak of, but Jesus brings the New Testament which focuses on loving each other and helping each other for the glory of God.

Really makes you think.

Drink kombucha. Im serious.Used to have a really awful beer habit. It works very well for me. I pour I buy these in the huge bottles for only 7 bucks a bottle and they last the whole week. Still kinda pricey but at least you arent becoming a literal brain dead zombie. I also make it which costs like 1 dollar for tea and shiz so you can also do that. It gives the same mouthfeel to alcohol.

Alcohol excess open spiritual portals where it takes you to bad decisions and awful outcomes, most of us need to hit bottom, is something far deeper we can humanily can handle so stop trying to figure it out by your self and pray for help, I sincerely hope he reach to you and heal you from that crave, it is the most beautiful thing when he answers you, and stop thinking in alcohol

I had to stop myself drinking recently - I was getting wasted every night and was fueling my crippling depression. I am forcing myself to run every morning and lift weights, as much as I absolutely didn't want to...I am doing it and it's going good so far.

5 days in, and that's a lot for me - I feel so much better, and I just had to stop drinking for 5 fucking, days lift weighs again, and do 20 min of cardio a day.

I am finally taking control of my life again, I'm not going to fucking fuck myself over again, I'm going to stick with this routine - I don't want to kill myself anymore. I am absolutely pathetic.

Good luck

If the idea of AA/spiritual programmes freaks you out - and it did me - search for 'Alcohol Explained' by William Porter. First 5 chapters are free online. Takes a rationalistic and non-judgemental approach to understanding drinking, how it rewires your thought processes to keep you coming back, and how to break the cycle. Was on 2+ bottles of wine a night myself for years, found this when I committed to quitting and am 18 months sober. Get some exercise/sleep properly/decent diet too obviously helps. Good luck anon.
