Grandfather died from Alcoholism when my mother was young so I grew up associating Alcohol with struggle, destroying family and so as a consequence have a very careful limited relationship with it. My birthday is just before christmas so I might have a couple of glasses around that time but I completely avoid it for most of the year.

If it’s about taste, try switching to non-alcoholic alternatives to help yourself wean off.

I stopped drinking when I became a parent but I drink alcohol-free beer when I’m with my friends so I don’t feel left out optically and they taste just as good as the alcoholic versions to me :manny:

a big thing for me was not buying liquor anymore. again, distilled spirits are the devil

i get beers 2-3x a month now. works out ok for me. dont buy more than youre gonna have at once. 2-3 tall boys is the sweet spot. i dont like getting sloppy

theres a very popular subreddit for alcoholics, i think its r/stopdrinking. im certain they have stopdrinking discords and iirc the AA groups in my area have virtual meetings for people who cant make it to a group

theres drugs like disulfiram (antabuse) if its that serious. if you shake when you stop, you can go to the emergency room and get a take-home librium script, i believe its 25mg every couple hours until you run out.

or you know, just pour that shyt out. you can do it

Start going to support groups doesn't necessarily have to be AA.

Get therapy. You are drinking to compensate for some sort of trauma.

Your doctor can prescribe medicine to help with withdrawal and the addictive parts.

Don’t have alcoholic friends. I’ve been drinking for a long time almost 25 years and I’m not even 35 yet so I just got tired of it. I only drink high quality expensive alcohol now so I’m not going out buying bottles that cost a rack often. I noticed that when I was either with a girl who drinks or have some Hbs who like to drink has upped my intake since I very rarely will drink on my own accord. I’m a smoker though so I had to replace one vice for the other
