How do you guys deal with excessive drinking? I mean, I'm functional, but would still like to cut down.
I had to just stop it all together, and sought the support of AA for a few years. If you feel that you may have developed a physical dependency, (like having to drink everyday to avoid the shakes,) I would seek medical advice before attempting to stop or cut down.
It's not a physical dependency, more stress related. All the personal shit that used to fuck with me is taken care of; finances, personal freedom, usual bullshit. What's bothering me now is that as far as I can tell the entire west is heading towards a financial and cultural collapse. Soviet style on a grand scale.
My health is actually improving even as I continue to drink almost as much as before. But it's a bad habit that has to be gotten rid of.
... take up weed? ditch the booze, caffeine treadmill.
then you can migrate through the full spectrum, shrooms, acid, powders, crack, smack and meth ... the final stop being fentanyl
booze will be the last of your worries at that point, i can guarantee it.
You missed out spice.
I heard spice users are starting to take smack to wean themselves off spice because the withdrawal symptoms aren't as bad.
