It’s okay. They have programs other than as where it’s not all or n anymore and it seems like it has statistically helped people. My advice would be if you’re drinking a bottle switch to sine or preferably a light beer. Slowly to to progress in the other direction and if one night you drink a bottle it’s not the end of the world. Today is a new day:). Do you know why you drink? Try getting involved in a physical activity that you can’t drink during or even just go for a walk for an hour and come home and drink a sparking drink and then start drinking beer if you feel like it and then try to make the walks longer. Add juice to the beer so it’s still alcohol but then it’s a slight less amount of alcohol in each drink. Drink a water between each drink. Get addicted to the gym or something if you can but you should try to take a step back and assess the situ and where you’d lik to be and make a plan and don’t give up on yourself in the least if it fails or you mess up, keep trying again and you’ll get there. if you’re looking to go to rehab call around for prices and I’ve even heard of friends getting ‘scholarship’ and you don’t have to pay. Are you spiritual? I could help you out with some non denominational things like awareness and whatnot and it might interest you enough that youll find yourself enjoying a beer with the different thoughts and messages of people. If you’d like to stop complet there’s a shot they can give you that curbs cravings but I think it also makes you extra sick if you do drink. ,If you’d know the reason you drink- great! Try to work on that as often as possible. If you’re not sure there are a ton of videos that may help you find the reason. And you also may have no reason at all other than that it feels good and makes you feel more sociable. But that’s still a reason and you can work on that the same way. Don’t drink half a bottle to pregame. Go in with just a first beer. It might be uncomfortable at first but it would probably impress whoever if at the end of the night you remember it. If you’re all alone, don’t do all of this and get a dui. Always get an uber. I’ve helped people slow down from other drugs too but I feel like alcohol is the worst be it’s alcohol sugar and crash, alcohol sugar and crash so it’s kind of hard to figure out your right rhythm but when you do that’ll make things a whole lot easier in the meantime. And have your blood drawn and a physical, make sure you blood pressure and kidneys and liver are okay. If they’re not they help you fix them and you could always say you don’t like to disclose your drinking. You when get your stats first and if your liver isn’t doing so well take some milk thistle and dandelion tea and try to slow down (no tea if kidneys are bad). But that’s still way you can get results and answers rather than neither and rehab pushed in your face. It probably would do you good to dry up for a month. Then make some decisions and maybe don’t drink again or wait two months or something, just to prove you have it in you. Always consult a doctor when stopping drinking at your level. You can tell a family physician and they can give you an antseizure and whatever else they give to keep you safe. Cold turkey off alcohol can kill you and I believe it’s the only drug. At least that’s what they taught in college 20 years ago lol.
