August 20th of this year will be two years sober for me. Alcohol was the hardest thing I ever had to quit, I quit smoking, I quit drugs but nothing was as bad as that alcohol. I still have cravings daily, anytime I hit a rough patch in life it screams at me, years of using alcohol to cope can become a very hard habit to break. Much love to anyone struggling with this sickness.

[@SSN515]

Congrats. I was a very heavy drinker in the military and smoked up to 5 packs a day. I got tired of the hang overs and one day after I woke up and lit up that first cigarette, I thought, "these things taste like crap" and quit on the spot, never to return. Even the smell of beer or booze at this point make me nauseous. I quit both, 20 years ago. Best of luck with your journey.

Dick Cavett's interview with Richard Burton on alcohol is well worth a watch

[@Hollylivengood]

He did another one with Dick Van Dyke what was awesome as well. It actually changed my view of alcoholics, which was pretty ugly, having lived with one. But It's on KZbin, and I would recommend it to anyone with a family member who struggles with addiction.

My brother was addicted to alcohol from a young age myself I was a heavy smoker consuming 40 per day, when I asked my brother about his drinking he said, "You know when you crave for a cigarette when you haven't got one. That's how I feel when I need a drink". I gave up smoking 32 years ago without a problem. It doesn't matter how much help you get with an addiction, the first thing you need is will power anything else is secondary.

[@andyhinds542]

I don't think it's willpower. It's making a conscious choice to never want to drink or smoke again to feel as bad as you did when you were at the state you were feeling that bad.
