I live alone, dont have anyone to lean on even if I wanted to. Well I got a spoiled as shit Dog. I would like to stop drinking, notice I didnt say want to. I use to work out and am still in reasonable shape so it wouldnt take much to do it again but where is the motivation? I know all about the dopamine shit by drinking. Being knowledgeable about it doesnt help at all.

Fuck, maybe it does just boil down to man up. I just wish I had a reason besides myself.

Two things:

Fix your diet. The lack of motivation is likely chemistry based, possibly as a result of aging, drinking, or simply poor eating. Regardless, you are what you eat, so fix your diet.

Consider volunteer work, or some other group activity involving interaction with other humans in an organized way. Something to bring back purpose and get excited about. A reason to get out of bed in the morning. A project. An Adventure. A mission. Something along these lines.

These two things should balance the dopamine issue and help get your mental focus out of the current place, We all need down time, with rest and relaxation, but we also need work and social interaction. We need the stress and up time as well for a proper healthy balance. Without that you atrophy.
