Quitting being an alcoholic Not a diagnosed alcoholic but it's

Distractions are your best bet in the early phases.

Do you have any interests or hobbies?

Do you have any family you can ask for help and support? If you don't you might want to try AA.

Yeah if I don't drink in the week I'll go to the gym, also play snooker weekly but usually end up having a few beers there anyway, could just have a coke or something

Family are mostly alcoholics and all my friends drink quiet heavily, they should be supportive enough

3 pints a day isn't enough to even cause physical harm or get you drunk enough to act retarded. So... do you actually drink more, or is it really just 3 freaking pints a day?

I was drinking 6 pints a night 7 days a week and never had any negative impact on my life. Never lost a job or a friend or got into a fight or legal trouble or any of that.

So... I guess what I'm asking here... are you sure alcohol is your problem or is it just a scapegoat you're using to justify/explain your past behavior?

Either way, stopping is a great idea. It's really just sheer willpower. You have to *believe* that you need to stop, and remind yourself of why you quit any time you feel like drinking. Also spoil yourself with bs the first few weeks. Whatever food you want, sweets, ice cream, candy, just whatever you crave, use it to push the desire for alcohol down. After a few weeks though you have to taper that off as well unless you want diabetes and shit.

Good luck, friend.

Sometimes it is more but it's sort of just a habit I'd rather not have, the financial implications of it and yeah if I don't have a beer after work I'll start craving one at some point

And yeah potentially but I do know for a fact some of the the things I've doneI woudnt have done Sober, it's like self control just goes out the fucking window

I think if I really cut down in the week I'll enjoy the weekend sessions more and save money aswell
