Is it possible live a fun and enjoyable life without alcohol? This year alone Ive been to several detoxes and one time to inpatient treatment. At least Ive been sober for 48 hours

Yes, you're just a failure. Liquor actually LOWERS the enjoyment in my life and therefor i only drink once a month

It is typically consumed with friends and family. People who regularly drink alone are only trying to satisfy a chemical dependency.

You need a relationship, fulltime work, regular sex and to go to the gym everyday. You'll be too exhausted to care about any substance use but will be happy and proud of yourself.

Yes actually life becomes more enjoyable without alcohol. Your brain and dopaminergic pathways are all fucked up from the abuse. Take some Kratom to clear your mind and detox for two weeks minimum

Yes. Alcoholism will have you believing that life hurts all the time and only drinking feels good, but the opposite is true. Life is good, and for most people alcohol is just another part of life, but for people like you and me booze is the fucking devil. Luckily, you can always quit. In fact, anyone can quit drinking, even if it doesn't work on the first try. Don't give up. Life is too worthwhile to just crawl into a bottle and die.

For me? Yes

For you? I have no idea what your circumstances are. Odds are high you've got something in your life causing you anxiety that you're avoiding thinking about by getting wet. Sorry if I just reminded you of it.

I was heading into a drinking problem in school - I thought I was anxious about exams but in fact, I was anxious about my dad being mad at me about how I did on my exams. After telling him to fuck off with that shit, my anxiety almost disappeared and my drinking slowed way the fuck down.

I have no idea what your personal problem is, but this helped me:

https://www.psychologicalselfhelp.org/Chapter4/chap4_76.html

I was like "Why the fuck am I always procrastinating what is it about exams that scare me off" and that chapter was instrumental in helping me find out why people procrastinate, why I, specifically, procrastinate, and what to do about it (Tell my dad to fuck off with that shit)

I still drink but like, in the normal social way where it's maybe once per month and only with others. I've got twelve beers in the fridge and they've been in there since last summer (it used to be 36), I don't feel the need to touch them when I don't have friends over.

Good luck with whatever your personal problems are.

NB: I forgot to add - "In school" means "in 2010" - I haven't been problem-drinking for 9 years.
