I need help.

I've been on NoFap for 4 years, had some slip ups but still going strong. I just don't know how to kick the bottle on my own.

Alcohol has done nothing for me positively. It's caused me to be promiscuous, lose relationships, in trouble with the law multiple times, lose jobs, gotten weaker (I used to be jacked, now I've got a bmi of 26 which is embarrassing for me) not reading as much, not writing in my journal as often, more prone to PMO while hungover/drunk... It's devastating.

I'm a 28 y.o. man and I need to change. I don't have a car, license, girlfriend, house, anything. I got a second DUI 8 years ago and still can't get my license back even though I don't live in the state it occured in. I haven't been sober a single day this year so far. I've been able to stop looking at porn because the connection of vileness.

I just need to get my shit together. I can't keep this in my life.

I guess this is step one... There is a problem, and I'm going to fix it.

You are an alcoholic, you have to admit it first before anything else.

Some people can have a drink and be fine and never drink again, others cannot stop because of its effect on your liver and metabolic processes.

Again, you are an alcoholic, so the only way forward to a good life for you is TO NEVER DRINK THAT POISON SHIT AGAIN!!!! EVER!!!

You must pray to God for help. God will help you if you let him into your heart. If you humble yourself in the dark of your own room, in your own soul, admit you need him and his love and power will aid you.

You also need to substitute another habit for this one. One that gives you dopamine and serotonin, and fulfills your heart. That could be working out, helping elderly people in your community, helping children, getting dogs, whatever it is, find SOMETHING, ANYTHING, to substitute for the poison shit drink.

I’ll pray for you, brother.

Im not an alcoholic, but my parents, brother, even girlfriend would state i am an alcoholic to win arguments. Back then i drank maybe two glasses of wine and then stopped by myself. I know im not an alcoholic, but part of me thinks i am. I dont think i have a problem, but having people use the fact i drink alcohol against me even in moderation, has completely fucked with my psyche. I drink one or two glasses of cider a month now, and still feel im somehow not really not an alcoholic if that makes sense. I even stopped drinking for 30 days, and yet just having one glass guilts me into thinking im some kind of scumbag degenerate

Then you hang around toxic people. I can't wait to be able to say "I used to drink too much, now I have self control." It's in the near future I believe.
