>>10912611Hey OP, listen up. Are you physically dependent? If so, to what degree? I am a former alcoholic. I was so physically dependent on it, I had to end up being hospitalized to beat it. Tried tapering alcohol, tried tapering with benzos, tried everything. Couldn't do it. I was drinking 1.75L of cheap vodka every 1-2 days just to function. Got fired from my job for "falling asleep." What really happened is I had a severe seizure from missing a benzo dose while tapering. After that, I decided to spend the next week quickly getting off it. I ended up having terrible seizures and got my parents to come get me to take me to the hospital. I hadn't eaten in 5 days, I had vomitted so much my potassium was nonexistent, so I was extremely close to having a heart attack. I spent 4 days in the hospital. It was a terrible time. I was hallucinating really terrible shit for the first 2 days. Not like psychedelic hallucinations. Like full blown psychosis where I couldn't discern between reality and what tricks my brain was playing. I spent 2 months tapering with Librium. Lived with my parents during this time so they could help. Now it's all in the past, and I never have to worry about it again.
If you are seriously physically addicted, please seek help. This shit can kill you. All the fucking idiots saying "just quit bro" have no functional understanding of alcohol addiction whatsoever.
If you are not physically dependent, and it's just a psychological thing, please fucking indeed just "quit." That voice in your head screaming for liquor is nowhere near as powerful as your body itself fucking dying when you don't give it liquor. You have no fucking clue what you are in for if you are very physically dependent on it, my dude. It is very, very bad.
Once you beat this, find Christ.
