Abuse over the counter cough syrup instead. Butt chug it for best results.

Literally just get a hobby, stop buying alcohol

I'm just now getting my shit together again after falling back into drinking for a few years. I don't know what to say in terms of encouragement, for me it's just fear of falling off the wagon again, I was pretty much convinced that was it for me the last time. If you want a quick reminder of what you're avoiding go and have a read through the alcoholic thread on /ck/.

jesus fuck that place is depressing. How do people get into a state like that?

>>41069858

it's easier than you might think m8, especially if you've got underlying problems to start with. a few months ago I was in the same boat, just blacked out constantly with jaundice and pancreatitis and shit, 100% convinced I was going to die. I feel like a new man now though so I was lucky

>What has worked for you?
AA. Seriously. Sober since 2002.

I'm the faggot from this thread OP >>41071606, working out helped a lot, I got really mad at myself if I drank the night before going to the gym because I felt that I couldn't perform as expected. Got me a lot of time until I got shit together, good diet and going to bed early with some good books (fuck The Dark Tower series was fundamental in that btw) then waking up early and hitting the gym. By the end of the day you're just tired and sleep like a baby but it takes some time before getting there. I still drink heavily on the weekend though (getting hammered right now actually) but I refrain on weekdays (as in "not a single drop or you're fucked"). Keep it up buddy, we're all going to make it.

back to lookism you go...

normally switching from one addiction to another is a problem but this may be an option for you.

Buy phenibut. take 2g it last 2 days. so mon take 2g phenibut wed take 2g phenibut fri - sat take some kratom.

Its good to give your self atleast one day substance free but if you really hate being alone with your thoughts maybe have some kava or smoke a little pot on sun..

This way you can keep all tolerances down and not develop an addiction while still keeping your self from going into that 'mode'

I smoke marijuana every day.
If I didn't I know I would probably be drinking every day.

I wish I didn't have such an addictive personality

Seriously just get a hobby. You drink cause you're bored and you've become used to drinking when you're bored.

Ever wanted to get into some kind of game? Local Gamestores usually have game nights that accept newbies.

Go for a walk around town.

Join a bowling league.

Buy Archery Equipment and shoot some targets outback (prepare for Zombies).

Just get out of the house. Literally anything. Otherwise you'll just keep drinking.

I'm a pole that was raised in small poor eastern city where drinking is a way of life for most people.
Started when I was 12 with some cheap wines, you know the kind that cost <1 euro. Then through puberty heavy vodka drinking thanks to young body that didn't have to suffer hangover (well only when I mixed it up with amphetamine the next days I wanted to literaly kill myself).
Had a half year break during my job in Holland but was a really heavy smoker there so it wasn't exactly a healthy detox. Then fucking studies really got me into this circle of non-stop drinking and shitty lifestyle. My depression only was getting worse especially since I didn't give a shit about treating my thyroid (I have hormone problems since birth).
To be honest what really got me out of it was lifting than came other things. As anons said before try doing some hobbies to evade bars and drinking opportunities.
The thing I recommend the most is cardio in some nature like forest, just walking there really helps deal with stress and is a great time spending activity.
other things I do
>started reading for pleasure again, currently going through Dostoyevski
>started writting short stories again
>going to art exhibitions just watch out for free vine
>going to theatre and cinema
>going to church
as you stop drinking you gonna start having more money so think about shit you wanted always to do/improve in your life. Maybe some sport? Dancing classes? Trips to some nice place?
The worse thing is this fucking polish culture that encourages drinking in every occasion. I srls considering telling my friends that I'm giving them choice to either stop convincing me to drink with them when we go out or I'm gonna stop going out with them

>>41069687
omg that thread is awful.

But I get it, when I was recovering from opiates and shit I spent hours reading drug forum threads. Something about it makes you not feel so alone

drinkers should just kill themselves like manlets

alcohol was an outlet for my depression which made my depression and anxiety worse

regular weightlifting helped but wasn't enough

I'm on an SSRI now which has dramatically stabilized and improved my mood. almost no anxiety attacks now.

therapy was useless for me, drugs worked. feeling pretty okay these days

>>41072476
good anon every day is a little bit closer to heaven and calm mind.
What do you do beside weightlifting

>>41072575

trying to advance my education and career. gotta look forward and build a better life.

living for today only leads to disappointment

I was on the verge of becoming an alcoholic a couple of years ago, drinking spirits in the evenings because I was so bored and my mind was dull. I have always been fit though, and the training didn't stop me from drinking, the drinking stopped me from training (properly).

I managed to stop myself when I just sat myself down and realised that I actually wanted to start doing well in my training again. Eventually I got a job, which involves working some evenings, so that massively helped. Now I just drink occasionally with a meal or a glass of decent stuff because I enjoy it, and the only time I've been drunk in the last 16 months was work's party last Christmas. I mean I have no social life and I still get bored and depressed, but my health and fitness are good.

What do you study?

>>41069534
This. If you quit 100% everything in your life will become better. Just find something healthy and productive to do instead of sitting around wanting a drink.
