How do I stop/reduce my drinking problem? I drink 300ml of vodka every night now and I feel like i'm wasting my money.

It's the movie with Denzel Washington, the drunk pilot who saves a doomed plane. I think it's called flight. Good movie.

>>11736931
OP, Just stop now before it gets worse, it will get worse. Just do a few months without drinking and see what happens. It's only going to get harder to stop

What worked for me was disrupting the behavior pattern by cutting out certain days entirely. Even just not drinking a couple days a week, starting with Tuesday and Thursday, turned into not drinking at all on weeknights and severely cutting back weekend drinking. Was never to the regular pint of vodka stage but I could tell it was negativity affecting my life so was important to stop.

I feel you brah, I used to drink a handle every 2 or 3 nights. If you can't hold yourself accountable then tell a loved one to check your shit from time to time. Barring that go to an actual AA meeting and get a sponsor. If you're religious at all tell your priest about it and get some guidance. If you can not do it yourself, there's no shame in asking for help.
Also this might not be the healthiest advice but try out Kratom/weed or some other easygoing substances if you're bored out of your mind and fiending. Do some shit you enjoy truly. Jerk off. Think of your loved ones and the pain you'd put them through if you hurt yourself or them through your addiction.
If you start to go thru withdrawals upon stopping, it's smartest to go to the hospital, but in lieu of that pick up some l-theanine and b vitamins, drink lots of electrolytes too. The l-theanine helps with the anxiety/feeling of doom/shakes.

Alcohol addiction is fucking horrible. I really hope you pull through this man, don't end up like how I did.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 10 05:32:47 2019 No.11736972 >>11736960 Meditation can still work. Meditate in the evening when you feel the urge to drink. Also you can drink milky, sugary coffees if you need a boost.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 10 05:33:54 2019 No.11736978 >>11736960 Boredom is a cunt. Don't be defeated though. When you quit drinking after a while you'll just start being more productive and finding things to do with your time. You also start to enjoy simple things again.

I never found this to work. When you're seriously alcoholic then the conscience in your brain is automatically switched off by the alcohol dependency. Any rational part of your thinking is almost entirely automatically censored.

I just switched from a night shift job to a day shift job and I have so much free time in the afternoon. I don't know what to do. I like the free time but I'm drinking more than ever.
It's also fucked up my eating patterns.
What do people eat for daytime lunch meals that don't require a microwave? Preferably leftovers.

You have that certain expertise, I wasn’t sure... If OP is here, you have to begin exercising while drinking. Also figure out what water you like, and get a good vitamin. I can’t really even recommend eating well, just figure out a way to bust your ass doing something and keep it up. Once you have managed to do something like that, through willpower, you can manage 250, 200, 150, 100, but the real question is always can you 0 and for how long? But even then a few months here and there can make a real difference.

I eat basmati rice and mackrel (i have tins that have the fish covered in chilli sauce or tomato sauce or korma sauce) only takes a half hour to make and is full of calories.

Been there pretty recently. You have to bask in the luxury of having afternoon time. I moved like a 90 yr old Japanese lady but I pickled my onions, boiled my eggs, roasted my chickens, carved those mfers up, blistered my carrots, etc, just really really fucking slow over 4 hours, I kind of wish I had those shifts again.

if you don't have a dependency just use will power and change up routine. Remind yourself how much money you'll save.

I just joined a gym and dicked around there when I felt like drinking. By time I got home I was hungry, ate, and one drink felt good not like shit. I just stopped completely after a while.

I feel you anon, I do. I’d say “my prayers are with you” but we all know what that’s worth. If there was some new, fresh way to say that type of message that everyone still kind of believed, I’d do that instead. But I got nothin’ except I know exactly how you feel.

are you being fucking serious faggot
I'm not proud that i'm an alcaholism but you can seriously go fuck yourself
You actually have to use the millilitre measurement to describe the amount of vodka you drink, what in the fucking fuck
Don't misunderstand, i'm a eurofag too
But if you drink less then a half liter of vodka a day? Fuck off
You don't have a fucking drinking problem
Step up or fuck off you german piece of shit
