Quit drinking permanently. It makes you weak and easier to control.
I drink because I need to make myself myopic. If I don't drink, I get to thinking, and I can't do that if I want to live long.
Yep, I drink so I dont think. Smoke pot, thinking my ass off. Didnt always be that way.
learning to manage/cope with the anxiety is pretty hard to do
when you abuse or use daily it does change your chemistry around... it is part of the withdrawl, your head is trying to scare you to use again
but you should not be scared to stop. i dont know the extent of your use, just go to a 3 day detox. they will hook you up with meds to help with all the nasty shit and monitor your heart.
there is no shame in it, infact they will probably treat you really good since you volunteered to admit yourself. Paying for it, there is usually grants or finical assistance if no insurance.
Exercise. Take some OTC sleep aid if you have trouble sleeping.
I used to be a mega alcoholic. I was damn good at it. Drank right up until I was convinced I had days or at most maybe two weeks until I was hospitalized. I realized I'd be in the hospital wanting to sneak out to buy beers and sneak them back in. So I guess you could say I was hooked.
Had to solve the problem on my own because doctors wouldn't help me. So I started smoking weed. At first I was drinking and smoking weed but after a couple weeks I was totally off of alcohol and just smoking weed. Then 6 months later I was even off weed and found weed to not be nearly as addictive.
I can turn my weed smoking on and off but I could never do that with alcohol. The other day I even drink alcohol that's something I very rarely do anymore and man is it not fun at all anymore. It just makes me feel extremely slow and fat. I honestly don't like it at all anymore except for maybe a tiny little bit after the second beer but yeah it's not even very fun.
So my advice to you is to start smoking weed.
Weed these days keep me up all night reviewing every bad thing I ever did. Im not the only one, I know several who feel the same way.
Weed gives me crazy anxiety.
Tea or sunflower seeds are an alternative that has helped me.
Try two weeks,they dont win you do
One week tomorrow. Started naltrexone yesterday
Been booze-sober for 4.75 years now. Every aspect of life became better in one way or another after quitting. Highly recommend.
Smoke weed with a friend that does not drink and relax and watch some lame movie or something and laugh.
