How do i stop.. i dont want to drink anymore

Asked by mariachitown about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

I started drinking a lot when my bestfriends dad died.. He was like my second dad..!! My dad wasnt ever around and when he was he was drinking so I treated her dad like mine.. I took it really hard when he died cause he hung himself in his back yard.....

Then when my friend died 3 months later.. I got worse. I was drinking like 5 times a week.. Then my friend trey died and I couldnt take it.. I started drinking everyday.. A lot and as time grew on I started drinking more. Not only do I drink everyday.. But I drink as soon as my buzz stops going away.. then I promised my friend I wouldnt drink for a whole month.. Its been driving me crazy but is been 21 days since I have had a drink.. I want a drink so bad but I made a promise.. I am around my friends that drink and smoke pot all the time.. They even pop pills.. How do I stop.. Most of my wanting to drink is from guilt of my loved one and my friends death..

Think of it this way. Your loved ones would NOT want to see you go down that road. They want you to be happy and healthy. Drugs and alcohol will only make matters worse, and you know better than that, right?

if really want to quite hang around people that you dont like drinking around, itll be hard for awhile but will get better a lot quicker, also if you smoke pot just smoke pot its healthier then drinking and its a lot funner=)
(but pill popping is really bad dont do that)

Welcome to Fun Advice!

Just take everything one day at a time. Don't worry about being a non-drinker for tomorrow or the future. Just be a non-drinker for today.

Always do things that are in YOUR best interest. Not because they keep you IN with a crowd. The crowd will dissipate and you will be on your own. YOU have to live with you, the crowd doesn't.

Be positive and do only those things that will benefit you and your future. They are all YOUR decisions, nobody else's.
