alcohol always made me really sick, so i drank in college but i never developed the habit. How can anyone stand being continuously hung over? shit is pure poison bro, you need to purify your body and your mind. Id reccomend doing some yoga, ease into it. Its the tits.

Drinking is fun. If you want to quit, quit.

Kratom kills my urge for alcohol.

I drink to enjoy myself. It has nothing to do with woman. I was drinking before women's came into my life.

Cost-benefit analysis. Hangovers, physically and mentally, are getting progressively worse for me as I get older and also messes with my weekly schedule. I don’t see any benefits of drinking alcohol now unless I have something to celebrate or just for special occasions like on holiday trips or w/e. I literally don’t want to feel like shit half of the week. Going to the gym and staying fit will show you how your body does not like alcohol at all lol.

I smoked for 10 years and I quit in four hours because my parents were visiting and I had to have something to show them cause I hadn’t seen them in a year and I felt like I had to prove my life wasn’t a complete train wreck. I haven’t smoked in two years now. I’ve drank since I was sixteen until the beginning of November, when I drank too much whiskey and blacked out and tripped and got a concussion, then woke up in the hospital. I had one beer two weeks later and couldn’t stand the taste. It was a rock bottom moment that gave me a concrete reason to stop. If you don’t have a visceral reason to stop that goes all the was through your subconscious then you will not stop drinking, or smoking or whatever. Find a visceral reason to stop, and you can stop.

well you're not explaining anything here.. are you drinking to avoid your feelings? are you going to the bar to escape your house or some/one of the people in it? do you drink socially, or for the physical and mental effects produced by alcohol?

if it's really bad, check out AA.. it's very intimidating at first, but you don't have to identify yourself if you choose to check it out. just go and listen. if your town / city is big enough, there will be some meetings that are comprised of MEN ONLY, aka mens' meetings. i dont see the feminazis penetrating these gatherings any time soon.. many of them are cool guys who've been through a boatload of bullshit and there's a really good camaraderie because they just want to meet other dudes who can understand what they're dealing with, without judgment. there's a phone app called "meeting guide" that will list the meetings in your area if you think you might want to talk to someone who is also attempting to stop or has managed to stop drinking.

A good everyday read: r/Stopdrinking

When I was a more simple-minded man, a woman and I moved in together.

I used to drink everyday, at least a six pack. I didn't want her to think less of me, so I stopped drinking everyday and would only have a few beers on Sunday watching football.

I eventually got sick of her shit and kicked her out. When I tried to go back to drinking like I used to, I found I couldn't do it. My body had adjusted somehow.

I could only drink maybe two beers at the most and it would completely put me down and I'd get tired as hell and just have to go to sleep. Any more than a couple of beers I would be sick as hell the next day and I would be shitting blood.

I sort of had an epiphany and realize just how unhealthy it was and how in the long-term it's not good for the body, and I want to live to a ripe old age.

Now that I'm getting a little bit older I realized that I better start taking better care of my health, and that's the main reason why I don't drink anymore.

Once in a blue moon if the occasion calls for it I'll have a little wine though. Even Jesus drank a little wine every now and then.

I would think about the drinking nights that were fun compared to the drinking nights that were not fun. I asked myself how the day after is after a; 'not fun' drinking night, or a 'fun' drinking night, or a no drinking night.

What I personally found was that when I am drinking I would almost always have a hangover, which could ruin the next day, possibly even the next morning after that! If all the drinking nights were fun, but I still had a hangover the next day, was it worth drinking the night before? Clearly nursing a hangover after a 'no fun' drinking night is a complete waste of time plus a bit of pain. I then kind of realized that the 'no fun' drinking nights were more common than the fun ones (I am getting older!).

I did not exactly quit drinking, but I really question myself as to why I *would* drink in the first place, and now, I have had a few drinks on two occasions in the last 3 months. Not quit, but most certainly not like I used to.

Also, I bought a cool car, so no drinking and driving. (By the way, this is an *excellent* excuse if you feel embarrassed about not drinking, or feel your friends will give you peer pressure like mine ... did)

It’s cliche, but just take it one day at a time. It starts to feel good waking up each morning refreshed. You’ll feel healthier.

After a while though, you may start to realize that there are just too many boring moments in life that a drink would fix, but don’t take my advice.
