How do I stop drinking alcohol? Rehab is not an option. I have

Put off drinking until bedtime.

Not perfect, but probably better than what you've got right now.

I heard sucking dick is pretty good for treating alcohol addiction

what do you drink and how much of it? I do the same, I drink 2 shots of vodka every night until I run out, and then I don't buy for two weeks generally. I usually do 1 hour and a half of excercise and those days I don't even need it, I just drink for the love of sport. change your habits anon. maybe on your day off stay up until late?

Alcoholic here. It's hard to stop. It takes a ton of fucking willpower, even to stop for a little bit.

But think about it this way... you have the ability to NOT pick up the bottle. When the impulses say "oh man I really want booze..." just don't do it. That's your one bit of control.

Keep booze out of the house. Don't go to the store and pick up booze.

Depending on your dependency on alcohol and the level you drink nightly, you may need to go to the doctor and ask for medication to help deal with DTs.

AA did not work for me. Tread with caution. People will tell you it's the ONLY solution, but I firmly do not believe that. Lots of people relapse from AA.

Hey Anon see if there's a local addiction group in your area you can join. Alcoholism is an addiction like any other. I was a part of a group that practiced DBT and it was really helpful for me to not over drink and to learn to manage my suicidal tendencies and stuff. AA isn't for everyone. You can manage your life. You can do this.

I used fighting in two wars to stop, being an alcoholic...

If it's a serious addiction you'll need help since alcohol withdrawal is no fucking joke and can kill you.

I binged for years but suddenly realized I was ruining my body. I stopped abusing immediately in July of last year. I found shifting my sleep schedule to early bed/early rise (9 or 10PM and wake at 5-6AM, up late tonight due to reasons) with some physical activity helped not only get me ready for sleep at the evening, it left me less time in the evening to abuse and physical activity lead to staying busy and finding other hobbies.

As I said I stopped abusing and right now I've found moderation to be key but that takes extreme willpower and some people just have to abstain. Three months ago I realized I didn't miss the drunkenness, lethargy etc. but there were a few beers I honestly enjoyed. I've made it now so that I stay dry until the last week of a month and then only treat myself to two beers that week. Last month I completely forgot until my birthday and just had one with a meal.

It will take a lot of work from you but if you need help don't just post here. There are probably good support groups for this and other forums. I went the solo route due to pride but that was very difficult and risky. Despite my state now there are still temptations to go crazy, all of which I shut down immediately. And you know what? Having that much control and responsibility feels better than any drink.

>Nights where I don't drink, I can't even fall asleep.

This goes away after 2-3 days. I don't even try to sleep my first night sober if ive been on a bender. Try sobering up the day before your days off from work because of that.
