Reduce Drinking

I drink almost every day, something that the stronger the better. I usually do not drink during the day, at any time to leave, but about 7 i drink a lot and very fast. I drink with social situations, I NEED to drink in social situations, and escape from stress. I wish I could eat in moderation, but I always drank too much and I do not know if I can control it. I want to stop because I think it will eventually kill me and I am worried about contracting the liver disease.
I want to know how to stop / reduce consumption. I wish there was a pill that would put me off alcohol, I do not think I will. I do not want to go to AA meetings, that would probably make me fall and I do not feel or act like what I imagine being an alcoholic, I am down 3 jobs and I'm usually sober, but when you work i arent i are destroyed. I need help.

You're lucky - my poor brother died of alcohol abuse, drinking after only 6 years. He was only 33 years old. It's a long story, but he was critically injured in a car accident and it cost him his life was that it was just a shell, he turned to drink to erase everything and then just to be normal - it was a nice guy - which was not the stereotypical drunk and he never thought it would kill him - I was there at his bedside as his organs failed and he took his last breath - it was my friend, an uncle fantastic and he broke the heart of my parents to see their son die. - Please, please, ask for help - If you want to talk email me you're welcome. The fact that you acknowledge that you have a problem is an important beginning and the fact that you want to help stop it even better. Major hugs to you. Nicky xx

God bless you! - Remember, I am always there to listen if you need it - I'm sorry, but I think in your case, you need to fear is a horrible horrible disease and you and you alone can put an end to end - I wish you good luck and will be thinking of you. Nicky xx Report Abuse

You must have an underlying reason to drink so much? Have you thought about counseling? Talk to your doctor, try to get to the root cause of your need to drink a lot. Is not it better if, to try AA, rather than waiting for decay to liver? Think about your health, and seek help in one way or another.

When alcohol affects your ability to live a happy or "normal life" - ie work, relationships, finances, health - then you are addicted to alcohol. Even if you do not yourself an alcoholic, the likelihood is that you're alone and you will probably need professional help to stop drinking. At least you want to do, which is very important in the success.

Congratulations, you HAV e admitted to you - and us - that you have a problem. It's like a milestone, because alcoholics often waste years, while in denial.

The next step is AA. Some of the most famous, successful and strong men have found help in AA, but you say you do not want to, then maybe you're not ready. Maybe you need to get down? A spell in hospital? A brush with death? A bad car accident? Maybe you need to lose a job and become homeless, broke and before you are ready? It is a well beaten path. How far do you go?

Good luck and take care

weeds instead of smoke, you can still have a few beers but it will help alleviate.

Your liver will pack his bags quickly, and you will die a slow horrible painful death. To avoid this, stop drinking now, tomorrow will be too late. You seem sensitive, sensitive now. Ask someone to be with you and talk to take.
