I quit alcohol at 25, I started at 21 though. 28 now. Quitting booze was the smartest decision I ever made. Keep at it.

>>15801071
Make a deal with the devil.
The only way out is your soul.
Just start accepting that you're nobody,
and it all gets better.

>>15801071
maybe..just maybe..quit drinking?

>>15801071
Jesus dude when me and my girlfriend broke up i was drunk for a week straight but how do you manage every day

>>15801096
I did and its torture

>>15801162
You’ll get over it. Just need something else for o fill your time with initially.

>>15801071
Probably start with AA, unless you can find God and the will to quit drinking and being a degenerate on your own. But if you go to AA and do the 12 steps, it works, you have to be good at listening to directions from the book though. Good luck, I quit drinking over a year ago, one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I can confidently say that without the help of a higher power, your chance of getting sober is slim to none. I hope you make it fren, alcoholism is real, and many people die from it every single day. God bless you euro anon.

Does your body physically need alcohol at this point?

Imagine the smell.

>>15801268
I actually remember being around some people I knew who's dad had legs like that, his foot got so bad it ended up basically exploding on the floor in the house he stayed in, and the smell... it was left over for months, you motherfucker your pic just reminded me of that..

>>15801242
No. All in my head. Im 3 months sober. I simply miss my old life but then again i dont miss it at all because of all the pain which it brings. Im in pain when sober and in pain when not.

>>15801324
3 months is a good run but nowhere near what you need in order to become happy again. I’d say 6-12 months. You’ve already made it this far. Your brain needs to keep rewiring. Soon mundane shit will interest you. Keep at it

>>15801234
AA is good if you're already somewhat spiritual, but personally leaving AA, outpatient programs, and removing myself from both recovery and drug/alcohol related things did it for me. Psychadelics can honestly help some people.

>>15801324
Give it 12 months retard
t. alcoholic sober 20 years now

>>15801071

Anon I also am in the process of getting sober. It's a long and difficult road made harder by the knowledge of how easy it is to relapse and immediately feel good again. Re-establish all your social connections as best you can. They are your lifeline. The longer in a day that you spend inside your own head and with your own feelings, the harder sobriety is--- you can't whiteknuckle it alone and expect it to work. Spending time with other people helps broaden your perspective, getting you outside your head. In a certain sense addiction can be thought of as a disease that withdraws you deep into your own mind and small personal world, and part of recovery is expanding your mind and experience again. Even if you feel like shit doing it and don't want to, ever. Force yourself to go out and see someone every day. If you can't do that, go for a walk for an hour or sit somewhere and read. Just don't be alone and don't stay home for all your free time.

I know this is also hard, but rigorous exercise makes a world of difference. I usually exercise every day and it gives me a mental boost that carries me very far. But when I can't exercise, there is a noticeable difference in my desire to use.

Also, supplements and medication can make a world of difference. For alcoholism, acamprosate can help a lot and is commonly prescribed for reducing the general malaise and discomfort from long-term alcohol abuse. By the way, what you are experiencing is commonly referred to as post-acute withdrawal syndrome. Read more about it.

1g L-tyrosine in the morning taken alone, with no food, can make a big difference in mood and motivation.

>>15801071
Pro tip: make sure you have a nice well rounded meal before you start drinking. Near the end of your night get some greasy food in you, pizza burgers, kabob, etc. Then guzzle some water before you pass out. I usually leave a 1-2 litre water bottle in my bed to drink right before I pass out. You should be good to go the next day. Eggs, especially the yolks, and bananas help with the after affects the next day. Weed might help too, it helps me but it doesn’t work for everyone.

>t. My hangovers were so bad I almost quit drinking and I wasn’t even an alcoholic or abusing alcohol. Until I created this “method”

>>15801071
>Needs to drink a toxic substance to be social
You're fucked bro.

>B-but muh European drinking culture
Your culture is fucked. Learn to be social without alcohol.

It took several bad hangovers in succession for me to cut down to 14 drinks a week max. Goal is to only drink on weekends and not get too drunk so I can average 6-8 drinks a week.

>>15801090
I quit 3 years ago when I was 28. Truly the smartest decision ever.

Maybe you just need to relapse to realize that drinking isn't as great as you're remembering it as. That's what did it for me. I got wasted that one last time and thought to myself, "This doesn't even feel that good. I can't focus on anything. The hangover tomorrow is gonna suck. Fuck this." That was the last time I ever drank.

>>15801071
Learn how to stay calm. Literally. Think of the brain like a muscle and typically the more you try to do something the easier it gets. Your prefrontal cortex will form more neural connections and will make it easier to make rational decisions. Rest & hard work anon

>>15801071
you sound like you could use a drink

>>15801071
Sorry you're an uninhibited nigger unable to moderate. Enjoying a nice, rich ale right now.

Loozer OP.

I'm 25 and after I drink heavily a line of coke and redbull sobers me up.

Im good to function with no problem

Fucking weak
>every weekend
You arent even addicted. alchohlics drink from when they wake up to when they go to sleep every day

>>15802347
most alcoholics dont. They're just highly functioning ones.

>>15801368
Yup, I don't go anymore either, psychs helped quite a bit. Going to AA made me realize I don't want to be those people.

Current state of the human race is because of alcohol, we grew with it and it belongs to our lives. Everyone who doesn't drink is a fucking saint and i pity them.

>>15801071
stay away from it. focus on improving yourself and hardening your spirit. do not be a faggot, learn to get close to people and have a connection. alc and coke is fake, the people who you hang out with are also fake.

>>15801071
our wet culture is retarded. your highs and lows will be less intense now. you can be social w/o drink but you won't like all the spit on your face when everybody is shitfaced. maybe you are the heavy drinker in your group and other people stay contempt with their 3 beers. if thats the case you can still hang with them and say you are doing sober october or whatever.
