How do I quit drinking

I haven't enjoyed any of the tobasco saucy marinades as of yet. they all have that mass produced/ artificial quality to them.

the habanero didnt impress me, especially when you compare it to something like >>6783185

im not a massive fan of the standard tobasco habanero either. too much burn, not enough taste.

Yes, OP. It is a fantasy of mine to go to all the places the guy who does Man vs Food go to for glorious eats. Sadly, I live in Aus.

starting Monday (tomorrow) i plan on quitting completely. i've been using vodka to sleep every night for a few years now and about 4 months ago i've been drinking during the day. i don't even enjoy things that i use to. i have to be drunk while doing it. even eating, i've been getting drunk before i eat every day for about a year. i'm sure that's fucking up my digestion or absorbing of nutrients because 9 times out of 10 my stool is abnormal. recently, i've never felt worse in my life while sober. sometimes just a few hours after waking up i would just stare at the wall because i desperately want to drink. then i breakdown soon after either crying or get vehemently furious for no apparent reason for the rest of the day. i'm not 100% there's any correlation to this but i know for damn sure it's not healthy. drinking just isn't worth it if i only have an hour or so of pure bliss and then uncontrollable thoughts and emotions the rest of the day. sadly, i also have never thought so much about killing myself ever.

i suspect i might be undiagnosed with BPD II for years without knowing it. i'm 99% sure i had a hypomanic episode for a few months last year because i would only sleep for 4 hours each day at the time and still feel like i was on speed. i even had more hallucinations than i could count during that time. my family and even myself kind of detest psychiatry help since one of my cousins became a vegetable after taking medication for his "mental illness" at a young age; plus the stories i've read about the people on meds and then going off them scare me to death. so i might just soldier it through without getting help. i just hope to god i don't have BPD II and this shit is just temporary.

anyways, sorry you had to read this and to those who've been going for years or maybe decades. i thought i would rant a bit. this is the first time posting in one of these threads. usually, i would sympathize with most of the posters by just lurking.
