Why is alcohol the hardest thing to give up?
-
2023-08-05 at 5:35 AM UTCI was spewing my brains up last night, I've been here before (countless,hundreds thousands of tines)
I can not control my drinking, but find the hyprocy of AA too much for me.
Why do people seem to flock to AA?

It's just a good time simple as that. If it wasn't there wouldn't be hundreds of millions of people imbibing in it every fucking day.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2023-08-05 at 1:53 PM UTCThe fact of it not just being socially acceptable but also being fairly cheap is the main reason. Once you're at the point of being an alcoholic it's hard to quit because it has the worst withdrawal hands down, if it's serious you can't detox on your own you need a medical detox or you can die. I wish the stigma about drugs was different, alcohol being acceptable and having been around so long many people don't realize how dangerous it really is. I wish you all the best, I know it's not easy to quit.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

You aren't an alcoholic just because you drink, I'm talking about the kind of people who use it daily in excess. -
2023-08-05 at 4:07 PM UTCI used to drink too often in my younger years, at least that's how I felt. I don't drink very often anymore and when I do it's only beer, and only a few.
What got me to stop drinking in excess was the hangovers started to last longer than 1 day. I felt it wasn't worth it to feel like shit for a day and a half after. No activity is worth that cost.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I can relate to this….the hangovers aren’t worth it anymore. I’ve had a lot of different kinds of alcohol in the house for a long time now, I drink maybe once or twice a year. Even then, only a few drinks…
Also for some reason after 5 rounds of chemo over a 4 year period it’s just not even something I want to do anymore. -

Chemo is definitely hard on your body -
2023-08-07 at 12:15 PM UTCIt's not, I gave it up after YEARS of abusing it in 1 day.

2023-08-07 at 1 PM UTCi stopped the moment i felt like i had to have a drink every night after work.

I technically was I suppose...6 drinks a day mon-fri...up to 10 or 15 at the weekend.
I rarely got drunk though. I stopped for medical reasons after having a "medical emergency" and my doc saying next time I'd be dead if I didn't stop.
That might have been the incentive I needed. I stopped that day and never had the desire to drink again. Prior to that I never thought I'd be able to quit, I'd be driving home from work thinking about that first frosty brew...exwife #2 had instructions to have my 1 liter glass chilled in the freezer and I'd call her when I was 1 min away from home to pour it so when I walked in, there it was ready...which I'd then chug it down in 1 or 2 goes before retiring to the shower and telling her to have another ready for when my shower was over. -

So "it's not difficult to give up. I gave it up in 1 day after years of abuse' meant 'its not difficult to give up if you just have a medical emergency and your doc tells you you'll die if you do drink again.' Lol you made it sound like you were just bored of it and quit cold turkey. -

1 or 2 go's goes...attempts.
Retiring to the shower means going for a fucking shower...not living there and quitting work.
...like one might retire to the library for brandy and cigars while the women folk wash the dishes. -
