Start reducing the number of tots or glasses you take. It’ll help you reduce withdrawal syndrome. It’s easy to do.

Read me again. I didn’t say you should stop. Reduce it until it becomes part of you.

See the answer from Meta AI... Choose what you like... like joining a support group...

Overcoming chronic alcoholism is a challenging and courageous journey. Here are some steps to help you on your path to recovery:

1. *Seek professional help*: Consult a doctor, therapist, or addiction specialist.
2. *Join a support group*: Organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or SMART Recovery provide a supportive community.
3. *Detoxification*: Medically supervised detox can ensure a safe and comfortable process.
4. *Behavioral therapy*: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) can help you address underlying issues and develop coping strategies.
5. *Medications*: In some cases, medications like disulfiram, acamprosate, or naltrexone may be prescribed to manage withdrawal symptoms or cravings.
6. *Lifestyle changes*: Engage in regular exercise, healthy eating, and stress management techniques like meditation or yoga.
7. *Set goals and rewards*: Celebrate small milestones, like reaching a week without alcohol, to motivate yourself.
8. *Family support*: Involve loved ones in your recovery process for added encouragement.
9. *Be patient and persistent*: Recovery is a journey with ups and downs; don't be too hard on yourself if you encounter setbacks.
10. *Consider rehabilitation centers*: If needed, inpatient programs can provide a structured and supportive environment for recovery.

Remember, overcoming chronic alcoholism requires time, effort, and support. Stay committed, and you'll be on your way to a healthier, happier life.

Take some time to rediscover yourself.

For some people, it's okay to confine to social norms and fall in love with them without discovering their true identity.

Spend quality time alone. Find out what makes you happy, apart from drinking. Search online to learn more about activities that people enjoy or edibles that can substitute alcohol. Once you do that, you start spending time on the activities and start eating that in place of alcohol.

Like someone advised, you won't stop it immediately. Reduce the number of bottles you take. Don't give in to peer pressure. Every man must not drink, smoke or womanise. That's the most stupid social script I have ever come across.

Plus, I often tell people that any man who lacks self-discipline lives an unexamined life. Those who succeed in life disciplined them and denied themselves a lot of pleasures with a goal in mind. In the end, it turns out good. Have this in mind throughout the process, unless you don't have a reason for trying to stop boozing.

Good luck....

The feelings of chronic hangover don't just worth it. You will promise yourself never to take alcohol again but na lie .

When you drink to some extent, you can suffocate. You would vomit almost almost all the saliva and still feeling like vomiting more when nothing would come out.

The drink you want to drink in excess today, reserve it for tomorrow

1) Get oneself engaged in things that would divert attention away from alcohol consumption.

2) Try replace that habit with a less harmful one like watching movies/series/soccer/sport, or playing video games.

3) Ultimately, acknowledge the fact that excessive alcohol consumption is health damaging. Anyone that loves themself would do whatever to stay safer. Read: https://www.verywellhealth.com/alcohol-and-liver-8547016
