Quit Alcohol Motivation 2024 (For MEN Only)

[@Shammy_V]

I love alcohol, but once i pick up i can't put it down. I stopped drinking for a year, once i picked it up i destroyed everything i had. almost 10 months sober, this time in recovery.

[@communityprepper6153]

Fuc$ the mistake, just start over. All your efforts do not add up to one lack of impulse. Keep going. There are a million others, just like you, cheering you over the finish line. Chin up, bro!

25 years ago I had quit drinking for ten months got in shape and felt great. I went out with new friends and had a light beer and got back in the habit again. I have been sober for two months now. I know that I can never drink again and don’t want to because I’m enjoying life again. You can stop again.

My wife and I are coming up on 6 months sober together. Having a partner makes it much easier as we have someone to make the journey with and hold each other accountable. Our relationship has become stronger, we’ve lost 80 lbs between the two of us, I’ve come off of thyroid and anxiety medication. Our family and son, most importantly, have seen the positive changes. We’re saving $100’s per month and have money for other things we want and want to do. We’re sleeping better, moods are better, feel better. There are no negatives of quitting; only positives.

Also the time you would spend drinking or doing bad, replace it with good. For me i would get home from work and drink. Now i get home and i work out. So i dont get board and tempted. Seek God go to church. Last if you can find a support group. Its worked for me. Now i see how absent i been in my kids and families lives even though im the main provider drinking and drugs robs us of so much. Your worth it and your family is worth it. So let get it!

Most times I drink I do it responsibly. But on rare occasion I get to a point of drunkness where I cant stop and get out of control to the point where I ruin relationships with other people around me.

They didn't need a "program" & they take a fundamentalist approach, unlike all the AA people I've known, who are rather ridiculous in their group-think, fear-based, secular religion fundamentalist dogma.

As much as I like Anthony Hopkins, he is totally wrong about "keep fighting". "Fighting", "struggling", "battling", "gritting your teeth", and having a "death grip on the steering wheel", are ALL major roadblocks to sobriety! The majority of videos on YT about "not drinking" are completely focused on the wrong perspective. The goal is "SOBRIETY", not "not drinking", or trying to "quit drinking", or cutting back on "drinking". That is all garbage that needs to be incinerated. Alcohol is NOT the root problem, so stop focusing on it, and START focusing on "living differently"! Sobriety is not an intellectual proposition like a math equation. The solution is literally about how we move our feet. Some of the smartest people in the world have died drunk, because they believed they could "think" their way out of a fatal condition. It's total bullshyt! "Get busy LIVIN, or get busy DYIN". Those are your only options!

Alcohol took every single person that was important to me except for my mother. We’ve got to use the medications that are available and we’ve got to advertise those medication‘s that work. I’m telling all of you alcoholics out there…. Your doctor has medication’s that will stop you from drinking because it’ll make you ill if you drink. My wife used it and it works. The problem is these people believe that they can’t have a life without alcohol. The best thing you can do is get rid of all alcoholics in your life. They will destroy your life eventually, or they will just not pay attention to you and all they will do is drink.

If you're absolutely serious about stopping drinking ... then do the following - NEVER purchase alcohol. NEVER allow another person to purchase alcohol for you. NEVER set foot inside a bar. NEVER accept alcohol from anyone at all, even when it's unexpectedly offered to you. NEVER allow anyone to bring alcohol into your living space on any occasion whatsoever. NEVER put even a single drop of alcohol into your mouth. There - and I dumbed it down a bit even for all of the dummies out there.

It's a pitiful thing to release your personal power to anything bad which has an influence on you, whether it's alcohol or anything else. Very simply ... if you do the things which I mentioned up above, then you'll succeed. Dumbing it down any more than this would just prove how seriously dumb you are.
