Well, you may have to stop drinking if you're having trouble managing it. if you want of course.

Good luck. Getting sober can be lonely, heartbreaking work, but it's worth it.

If you can ride out the first week, the depression and irritability should minimize, fyi. I drove a lot, personally--whenever an urge struck, a long drive got me straight again.

Many will point you to AA. Personally, I hated it. Made me want to drink 100x more honestly. Don't feel like that's the only path. Cold turkey and healthy new hobbies may be ok. Journal if you need to get shit off your chest.

So, the quitting part is only in the title, did you forget it after writing it? Booze is the worst drug bro, better if you can get rid of it.

You're an adult and your own man. Drink if you want, quit if you want. Don't just sit half way between the fence constantly wondering what it would be like to stay on one half or but constantly hopping.

I quit drinking because I just don't enjoy it, it's a real waste and I don't want a beer belly. When I used to drink, it was bad. Damaged my car (just paint but could have been worse) drunk driving, had a former DUI in another state, lot's of money just gone spent on drinking at bars each night, would wake up with vomit in bedroom carpet that I would have to cut out with a knife, then I would try to game my body and figure out how to drink just enough to avoid that... after years of drinking my body was skinny fat, really unimpressive. I gave up drinking because after hitting 30, I didn't want to look slowly progress towards this by even 5%: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2600/4146969410_a8d25fa08c_b.jpg

So far been months without drinking. My GF (used to) drink so that's the only reason I drank a few months ago. Outside of that, it's been over a year since I downed alcohol for self indulgence/pleasure. And a very long time since I've been drunk.

I gradually slowed my drinking, and now rarely even have a social drink. Don't miss it at all. You won't either.

If this is a moment of clarity, you should attend a meeting TODAY and ask for help.

The key thing is to be honest about your own ability to limit the number of drinks. If you find you can't stop at a reasonable number, then quitting drinking is a fine thing to do, no shame in that. Me, if I eat too much of certain foods, I get a bad reaction, so I avoid those foods. The key thing is clarity and honesty.

Try cutting down, drink some light beers instead of beers for example. Try drinking 2-3 instead of 5-6. You'll probably ease into it quite a bit better than just quitting.

Dont drink. Society encourages it. Smoke pot instead.

Being a Browns fan is a zero sum game too. I flushed those turds awhile ago.

If you can’t handle it, don’t do it. I drink daily, and still show up to work. I’m at the bar now.
