You need an intervention, or is this some withdrawal symptoms bothering you?

It's rough and not as easy as one thinks. That's like telling someone to stop being depressed.

You can make it.

like any dependency the only thing preventing the user from quitting is willpower. sure there's those physiological drawbacks but they are endurable if you really want to quit.
depression, on the other hand, is difficult to overcome if it's anything real (i.e. stems from something you can't change like severe bankrupcy with a family to feed)

3 easy steps to forget every good idea I get

I used to be like that. I knew I couldn't drink anymore, but I couldn't drink any less, either. I found help from a group of drunks who had stopped and they taught me what to do. The willpower argument is bullshit, BTW. You need help.
Start by switching to soda and hard candy. stop drinking the first drink. don't worry about stopping, because you won't have to.

That's it.

>stop drinking the first drink
I end up shoenicing a bottle in about 2 increments. Does that mean I can still keep half a bottle as my first drink?

>>5430540
how is the willpower argument bs. It literally only takes not drinking the first drink and you are solid. But after that first drink it's over.

>Get drunk
>Incapable of doing anything in general
>Stare at the ceiling or sleep

Don't see what's so good 'bout it.
