First day in ten I have not drank myself to sleep

I'm happy for you, and I'm not trying to make you want to drink, but I just finished my thirteenth beer

You can do this.
If it gets too much, draw my face on a cardboard and start poking it with pencils or something 😅
Kidding, you got this bro 👌

You just made me want a beer 😂😅

But nah I feel you. Despite my username, I don't drink nearly as much as I used to. It used to be every day, any day, it didn't matter what I had to do the next day or what night it was. I just got tired of it tbh. & I have so much more energy, & my health has improved so much that I didn't even realize how heavy of an effect it had on me before. It's wild.
But you got this 👌 if you truly want it then that helps a lot

I battled alcoholism!! It took me years to finally beat it!! If you want to stop you can do it! 🤗

be careful with that though :(

Hang in there, some time spent clean is how you prevent a habit from becoming something you have absolutely no control over.

You can. You got this. I promise you you’re more then capable to have this pass

Do stop. There is a better You without alcohol.

Good for you, control it, not let it control you...,👍

You did good with resisting 🤗

Yes, you do... It's not the answer

Progress

Well done. 💜

Awe you are doing so good tho!

heavy drinker here. here's something that worked for me:

Disassociation

I created a character. I called him, 'Raging tenente'

It sounds really really stupid but really worked.

I would want to drink, to forget and feel nothing. And then I would think about 'Raging tenente' and how I would be sick the next morning, tired and depressed and trying to remember what i did last night.

Wow (I thought) 'Raging tenente' sounds like an ass lol.

No, i won't be 'Raging tenente' tonight.

it helped curb my binge drinking. Curb, not end. I'm getting there (it's a process lol)

One more insight: if i did become 'Raging tenente' : I wouldn't beat myself up the next day. Yes, I felt like shit and felt guilty, but I would forgive myself so I could move on - and try to be better. And thats ok, because no one is keeping score except you. And it's you that matters, no one else. be a little better every day, and a year from now - it will make all the difference.

hope you find comfort soon

The first step is a day 💗
