Struggling w/ ALCOHOL or DRUGS Thread

1 / 2:
OK. So there was a thread on here yesterday where the guy was asking if anyone else was struggling with trying to stop drinking alcohol. He said he had a contract for a new job and would be relocating to another country in a month, but was killing time until then by drinking lots of alcohol, preferring wheat beer.
not my preference, but alcohol is alcohol, amirite?
Anyway, he wanted to stop drinking b4 he fucked up the contract and ended up in a foreign jail.

So, mainly, I guess the advice I have to offer, based on my own personal experience, is:

if you want to quit, you can. if you just want to want to quit, it will be very hard or impossible.

what a load of shit

Kek!
It looks like I forgot to say
Ah well, it was long enough anyway.
I hope your journey is not as rough, but that you can still learn as much.

They say you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter!

It's pretty hard or impossible to live as a full blown alcoholic or drug addict also; so I guess you've got to pick your poison.
I choose health. It may not be easy, but who told you life was supposed to be easy?
It's about becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable.

It takes commitment.
It's not about what you "want", it's about what you "need".
If you "need" it bad enough, you'll be willing to commit to it.

I like that.

I'll just leave this here.
This simple technique not only works for overcoming laziness, but can be very effective for overcoming destructive addictions also.

If reading all that shit is what not drinking is then I'll never be sober.
