Battling an addiction is in its simplest form, retraining your body\mind.


Every time you get an urge for a drink start thinking about something else. And if possible do something like go for a walk or hit some pushups or something. Most cravings fade after 20-30 min.

Warn your loved ones as well that you will be moody. It doesn't happen overnight.

One day you will realize you have gone a week without a drink. And then logic will start to set in. If you can get through a week withouth a drink you can get through 2.

You just have to convince yourself that you can get by without it and enjoy life just as much.

But I know quiting smoking was tough. I started working out 3-4 times a week when I did and trying to hang out with women and others that did not smoke and dispised smoking hopefully.

Then you know you can do it. If you can go 9 years you know it can be done. Do you want to quit drinking? I am sure the answer is yes and no. Yes you want too, no you feel like you cannot.

But you know you can. My old roommate did it. Took meeting a nice girl that helped him but told him he had to calm it down or he was out. He went through some tough times but it is under control now.

But it comes down to desire. Do you want it or don't ya? I seriously kept a pack of cigs in my car. Every other time I tried to quit was when I smoked the last cig of a pack. Then I would just be freaking out thinking about not having any cigs every time I'd drive by a gas station. So I kept a full pack in the car. Then when I got the urge I just told myself, "not right now". And it was a lot eaier since I actually did have some. I could focus more on not wanting one as opposed to jonesing cause I was out.

My situation is odd, I just keep abusing it and abusing it.... If I don't quit, I won't live long.

I know where you are coming from. I don't know if you are ready to quit. That is a very personal decision. Everyone has their own reasons on why they want too and what motivates them.

Not being familiar with your specific situation, perhaps trying to moderate yourself off is an option?. I know when I quit smoking and I started working out my body finally just told me flat out it did not want cigs. But it took a while to get it out of my system.
I quite cold turkey but I know what you are saying. Whatever road you choose it won't be easy that much is for sure.
