It's very easy to give into delusions when it comes to drug abuse. Alcohol dependence is a thing and if you are drinking every day, your dopamine circuits are literally dependent on alcohol for positive feelings. You want it because you need it, is what I'm saying.

Then take days off. I don't get plastered, I don't drink on weekends, if the markets on holiday I don't drink. Hell, some days I just plain don't feel like drinking so I don't. Be stronger than the drug anon! Easier said than done, but possible still.

Ok I believe you, but why not just not drink at all? If you never drink, then your need to drink will gradually vanish over a couple of months. It may just be my personal take on the matter, everyone is different I suppose. I simply just like alcohol too much for me to enjoy it in moderation, so I just cut it off completely out of my life, but power to you if you can enjoy it in moderation, I wish I could.

I drink because I enjoy it. I don't drink a ton because I don't enjoy that, however. When I was in my teens, I used to drink retarded amounts and do stupid things. I quit drinking for a solid 5yrs at least before I got to the point where I thought I could handle it without getting blown. It's a process, that's for sure. Enjoyable at this point in my life finally though.

i was a stoner for 15 years until I tried cocaine and then... Weed who? Mind you all this time I was an heavy drinker. I worked at a nightclub that fucked me up real bad. Eventually I went to rehab. I saw the light, and then I fucked up. I know this is funny but eventually I wanted to escape and took a teaching job in asia. Asia has no weed or coke or drugs aside from alcohol. I smoked and outdrank every asian until I met a nice girl and decided enough was enough. I am married now and returned to canada. However, I now realize why so many people abuse drugs here. They are readily available and Canada is boring as fuck. Jesus Christ do I miss Seoul, weekend trips to Osaka, going to HK in the summer when the humidity made girls shirts stick to there tits. Visiting Thailand and seeing all the perverted fat fuck aussies. Hell I miss Shanghai too! No one would beg for money in Asia. No would would give you this bullshit spiel about having to get back home and that they needed money for the bus. Man I remember beggers in Asia. They put a hat on the ground and bow in shame hoping you feel pity for them. In Canada they stand there as you walk out of the shitty grocery Fresco or No Frills. Fuck don't get me started on the shitty food here either. Fuck another thing I miss about Asia is being able to openly shit on gays and speak your mind. The way girls would just tell their coworker hay you shouldnt eat that birthday cake, its not your birthday and you are too big for cake. Even their fucking cover letters required a pic. Fuck Canada Fuck this shit hole and that dyke Wynn. I've been stone sober for almost three years not a cig a drop of alcohol or a drug. All I see is marijuana marijuana I hope kids get hooked and treadeau gets hit by a truck Fuck Canadians for being such push overs. I hope everyone dies! I

If you don't feel a compusion to drink, and booze isn't fucking up your life, you aren't an alcoholic.
Stop drinking for a month. If it makes your life better, keep it up. If it doesn't, then fuck it.
Anything in excess is bad for your.

Everything in moderation, including moderation.

Thanks for posting this op. I really want to quit but I can't stop. The amount of tobacco FUD is nothing. Alcohol has ruined my life and it is shown in the media as positive. It's sickening.

I started only drinking in the weekends, but now I have found that I binge drink on the weekend. I can't stop. And the more money I make, the more I drink.

coming up on 4 years sober. still think about drinking sometimes, but not with any ferocity anymore. i remember once i heard someone say "i was a functioning alcoholic, and then one day i stopped functioning"

i got sick of waking up and knowing exactly how much liquor i had left. to knowing before my feet hit the floor whether or not i needed to go to the liquor store that day. i got tired of feeling like shit.

one day i woke up in a loony bin, sober. and it hit me that i needed to be sober. like really needed to be sober. but the terrifying part was that i knew if i didn't take that seriously, the need to be sober, that i would go drink again. and if i drank again this NEED to be sober would vanish, i would forget about it. i would forget how much i needed to be sober.

so, i gave up. had seizures, went through the DTs, lost relationships, jobs, etc... but for whatever reason that morning in the loony bin is what it took to wake me up.

good luck, op. keep your umbrella handy, i know it's raining out there.
