I was gonna write a long post but it got too personal. I have serious issues yet I've been weening myself off of hard alcohol the past few years and down to just drinking beer and I want to be completely alcohol free by the time I turn 40.

It was a promise my grandfather made me agree to a few months before he passed away in 2018. He was the only person in my family that I truly respected because he went through a lot of bad shit in his life. I hit the bottle hard after he died then stopped drinking liquor and switched to beer.

The beer is fucking up my digestive system more than rum and whiskey, and I don't want to look like a bloated beer belly guy. I need to stop. Now. And I'm saying this as I have 2 four packs of 211 in my fridge atm.

AA doesn't work. NA doesn't work. I did 7 months at the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center and that didn't work. I tried shrooms, DMT, Salvia and those didn't work.

I live in Wisconsin and at least 25% of the state's economy is related to alcohol. There are 14 bars, 4 liquor stores, and 3 stores that sell beer within a 1 mile radius of my home.

I need to move to some state like Utah where it's really difficult to get alcohol.

I need help.

No one is going to make you stop drinking. You need to stop yourself. If you have genuine faith in God, that will give you the power to stop. Otherwise, you are in for a difficult time. You know what you need to do, nobody needs to tell you. Stop drinking immediately. Throw out any alcohol you have in the house of any kind. Never buy another beer or alcoholic drink. Say no when your "friends" try their best to make you start drinking again, as they certainly will do. In my opinion, without God you haven't got a chance, but you may be one in a million, who knows? Surprise me.
