Check This- I got some fermented skate/Rat fish liver oil @ greenpastures in 2016. I started taking this oil every morning daily @ 2 mm a serving.. after the first week I realized I had zero desire for alcohol- zero...

Are you sure it's not just bc you are so close to vomiting from ingesting rat fish liver oil? lol

Just playin...if it works, terrific.

Ha Ha, yeah could be LOL... seriously though how I figured out to take it without it being to gross...

put the 2mm under tongue... drink some water to wash it down before tasting it... there is a slight after taste that more water will fix... could use juice or something too I just did not want to interfere with its properties or dilute it etc.... first time I took it and just let it sit there dry - YUK! that tasted bad All Day

The first time I wrote in this thread. I am not a heavy drinker, but every evening the last 20 years I drank my red wine. I didn´t wanted to realize or accept that my bad Feelings mostly everyday, had to do with a light or middle hang over. I didn´t quit but drink less than the last years, since 10 day and I feel so much better!!

How stupid i was, all of the years. Such a little step and a so fine effect. :tiphat::ying:

I'm a drunk with significant health issues, some related to alcohol abuse. This thread is inspiring me to cut back... maybe totally quit.

Brown Thumb, I thinks it´s always worth a try. A childhood/youth friend, maybe my best by that time, died in january with 52 yrs on alcohol abuse. And I think everybody of us, knows some people that tragicly died on any way of alcohol abuse.

Yesterday I drove with a bus and saw 3 shop windows full of cheap alcohol, from beer to Korn (Korn is heavy german stuff, old school). Nothing else in the window than booze.
In Germany and maybe in Europe a lot of sick, poor, homeless and adicted people hanging around there in the main station area. It was clear that the Windows "shoutet" to them, come one get your ups and downs here. Feed your demons.

It´s sick, isn´t it?

:ying:Coming from someone that quit booze for over 10 years five for nicotine and a few decades on opiods my advice may be the shittiest but go ahead and enjoy your existence because its on a short timer.O yea did I forget the opioid ape still clinging to life lol?Have fun kids and don't to forget not to harm others along the way.Setting yourself up for total abstinsance can set yourself up for numerous breakdowns along the way.It really is a long existence and honestly nothing is constant but change

good luck my friend. I personally was never able to cut back, I had to quit all together. I can say life is better now that I quit drinking and all other drugs, hope you can find the same inner peace

I drink like two beers and that's it. Maybe 4.

Anyway, I used to drink a lot. Not bragging. So it was with friends. And we did this too much, and then I found myself one day drinking by myself. Then after we got out of that stage, it didn't return.

Surrenderd in Dec 85. Haven't had drink since. I worked as a boilermaker for thirty five years. The toll of crawling around in boilers took its toll on my body. Had to have neck surgery. Before the surgery they gave me oxicotton. Went home and took one. I sat back and thought. Where have I done this before. Know I knew why they called this shit hillbilly herion. Also I did some heavy drug's when I was a teenager. Flushed the shit down the toilet. Started looking for different ways to stay out of pain.Startedto read about my old friend pot. Had a friend who smokes . He gave me some went home . It's been seven years now. I still have no desire for alcohol. I live in a red state so this is where I learn to grow.

I really need and want to quit. all I do is drink, it totally isolates me and rules my life. I quit heroin 5 years ago, makes no sense that I can't put down the bottle. woke up with a bloody nose and shit all moved around in my apartment. fucking stupid, I hate alcohol, worst drug ever. my life was better on heroin, for real. I could at least function.

I've been trying to quit. Cannabis extracts help somewhat but I'm too weak to completely stop. The stress, anxiety, depression and pain are the true killers because they instigate the drinking. I've refused to take the poisons from pharmacos but maybe I should try those as a last resort. Also, since I live in a somewhat crime-ridden area, I want to remain armed to defend myself should the need arise... and the "nanny-state" could take away my self-defense if I admit to alcoholism and depression. I don't know... at this point, maybe it doesn't matter anymore anyway.
