You can control it. You do it one hour at a time. Today can be day one and it can change everything. Ready? Lets go!

Hi Rahul,

I found you! I met you briefly in Newbies Nest and then came looking for you. I was addicted to beer too. Lots and lots of beer. If you haven't already, you may want to read back over the last couple weeks of posts in Newbies Nest. You will find people there who are just getting started along with folks who have maintained sobriety for a long time. Also, check out the other MWO threads. There is so much great information and support!! As questions come up, write and ask about them.

I can assure that there IS hope, Rahul. Many have found ways to successfully manage their addiction to alcohol and go on to live productive and much happier lives. You can too!!

Thanks for joining us. ~

Welcome Rahul.
Exercise, and eating regularly are what's working for me. Alcohol is a sugar, your body runs on sugar. The cravings will be less if you don't let yourself get hungry. Low blood sugar = cravings.

Hey! I am addicted to beer too, (I tried switching to hard liquor...but it was the beer I wanted, not just the buzz!). I look like I am 5 months pregnant now with my beer belly. I too have drunk around 4 to 8 beers a day for 10 years. I am planning on stopping soon, (along with starting a diet and trying to eat better).

We can do it!

Hi Rahul and welcome to MWO.

Like you I have drunk far too much for far too long and I wish you all the best on your journey.

Remember, You don't have to rely on drink. It only gives us false feelings. False feelings of confidence, of self-worth, belonging, of being worthwhile. When you wake in the morning is this how you feel? I certainly didn't!

I know you have already had this suggestion, but I'll suggest it again - have a look at the newbies nest and the toolbox for advice and support.

Try not to dwell in the past as this will stop you focusing on your hopes for the future. Try not to think about drink; think about sobriety and all the benefits it will bring: health, healing, restoration, wellbeing, the respect of others and, best of all, self-respect.

Hope to see you in the nest.

Neddy

There is a lot of support on this forum, also you could look into Rational Recovery/AA/Counselling/Church.......... or a combination of some of these.... whatever works for you! Wishing you well in whatever path you take.
