25 year drinker, mostly beer, some hard liquor.
Was dry all of August and September, succumbed to the "holiday spirit" but only in moderation.
I'm pretty confident I can do this. 
Good luck. I'm trying to give up booze and cocaine for a month and then go from there. Hopefully both can be something I do in extreme moderation in social settings. I want to be to the point where I can go out and have two drinks and that's it. I've got almost a week in without blow though.
Some of you guys know I'm in recovery. I crossed that line into alcoholism about 6 years ago.
I wish I could drink like a normal person but I have no off switch.
I can tell you this. If you start to notice "dry drunk" behavior, do yourself and everyone around you a favor and start drinking socially again. Dont make people's lives around you miserable.
Nothing is worse than a dry drunk. Might as well be drinking. Not even kidding.
That's assuming you're not a full blown alcoholic like me. I have no choice but to stop and work a program.
Happy New Year and good luck.
Keep fighting that fight, Slobs. Much love and support, bro.
Just saw on 60 Minutes, and alcoholic who overcame via psilocybin. Its the active ingredient in MagicMushrooms. The segment also featured psilocybin addressing other neurological disorders; depression, anxiety, PTSD, and a variety of addictions. Good friend of mind brought it to my attention after ending a 30 year battle with pornography. No longer saw his wife as an object. Intimacy returned. Reconnect pathways, 85% success rate; research it gentlemen. 
I appreciate your kind words Stump.
I was in pretty desperate shape when I stopped. It's the only way that it will get you to start being seriously committed to stopping.
Sadly, for us alcoholics, consequences mean little when we're fully active.
I'm grateful I have a solid foundation to my sobriety. I have to be vigilant. When you're in the rooms of AA for several years, you meet people who end up dying or going back out after years of sobriety. It's crazy and scary.
Anyways, good luck to you gents. if you havent crossed the line, enjoy your drinking.
everything in moderation bro. especially the blow

The scary and sad part is when you realize that with certain groups of friends, all you had in common was drinking and nothing else. Dropping those friends that you're formed relationships with through alcohol can be hard but it must be done in order to get sober. Your weekday nights and weekends will be very, VERY lonely but in time, you'll adapt and find new hobbies along with new friends.
As for me, I've been sober for 1 year and 4 months..
Also, within the last year, psilocybin has been decrimalized / legalized in Chicago, Denver, Oakland, Santa Cruz, and is on the ballot (November 2020) in Oregon. (California also possible) 
I use psilocybin in a controlled setting about once a year. I have been doing this for about 20 years now, and it has greatly helped me with many troubles in my life, and helped me overcome many obstacles along the way. I advise anyone thinking about using psilocybin to do many hours of research before jumping in. There can be infinite benefits if used correctly. It can come through difficult experiences, or it may come easy. One cannot know how the teachings are revealed until you are already in the experience. Do as much preparation in advance to be ready for whatever may come.
Good luck.
Obviously she drinks everyday? Which therefore causes you to drink? You're not going to like the answer or it might result in a fight but you're going to have to limit/stop her drinking or leave/kick her out.. Then again, I'm sure you're banging the f*ck outta her so you'll miss out on that. My solution to stop ANY habit/addiction is to not have it near you. If it's not near you, you won't be tempted by it. Granted, I don't know what degree of alcoholism you have so it's easier said than done.
BOL on how you handle this situation.. 
Thanks for advice square, I'm close to 5th a day for about 6 months now I never have felt withdrawal but I'm sure once I stop for a few days I will. Mary Jane is legal in Illinois now so looking into getting a pen and some wax to stop drinking. Yes the sex is great and that's why I've been hanging on but ya I think ur right I need her out of my life on a consistent basis. Not her fault it's a choice I made but it will be easier to stop without her around...
Was doing about 5 oz a day, vodka. Mixed it with ginger ale, v8 juice, lemon and tobasco. My blood test always came back great and the doc never had medications he wanted me to take.
Exercised daily. Jogged intermittently and did ellipticals at the gym. Kept my weight decent. Once I stopped the cardio, my cholesterol started to go up along with my weight.
went on a plant based diet and stopped the booze for 3 months. Lost 18lbs and don’t miss the booze or the time I spent under its influence. It all felt absolutely great physically and mentally.
We are all different of course. But it works if you give it a chance. Want to remain for a while for quality time with the kids and grandkids. I cheat sometimes, but it lost it lustre.
One more thing.?. I loved bragging about how good I was feeling. If you cant stop, just get on a decent exercise program. It will amaze you..
