I AM GONNA QUIT DRINKING ALCOHOL GODDAMIT
AND EMBRACE NO FAP
If you suckers don't believe me, I'll see you in a year when I return and tell you how my life improved without alcohol and masturbation!
I know I can do this, I quit weed a few years back but that was easy because I had alcohol and porn but I need to drop my crutches and learn to walk guys, please give me your moral support and words of wisdom as I begin my journey.
Also anyone else who tackled their demons head on like I am gonna do?

Alcohol is the easy part if you don't have a dependence. You just stay away from places where alcohol is served. It will get boring, so you need something that distracts you for a couple of hours when you feel the urge to drink.
Just got back from picking up a 6 pack of icehouse edge. The alcoholic's 6 pack.

I'm not an alcoholic but it is the only thing I look forward to at work, I'e gone crazy sometimes with it though, drinking in the day and stuff but never a true alcoholic because I couldn't afford to be and had more self awareness than let myself be one.
I am thinking about getting a Chinese takeaway every Saturday instead, it will be the only thing I have to look forward to at all at this point, it will be one of the only things worth living, I often used alcohol as a replacement for a girlfriend.

I honestly believe in you, dont let us down.
Godspeed anon
>>27042542
you are probably too weak desu
>>27042810
Thanks anon! I will do it for you and all of those who can't.
>>27042821
I will do it for all of those who said it couldn't be done.
the only thing harder to quit than those is 4chan, and the internet as a whole

I am with you OP. I am at 72 hours with my nofap.
It is easy as long as you don't think about it.
I have some weird fucked up skin/hormones issue where if I fap I get pimples on my face.
Even that isn't enough to deter me though
good luck OP also
reddit.com/r/stopdrinking is a pretty good sub, i don't post but usually try to check it when i really want to drink so i can read all the people posting about how they wish they hadn't relapsed
>>27043443
yeah I've done 2-week no fap sessions
but I can't even begin to comprehend quitting the whole internet or even just 4chan (without porn)
>>27042542
Sure, I used to be a drug addict and alcoholic. I've been sober for 15 months. You can do it anon but I don't really see the point if you don't think you have a drinking problem. Why don't you just try cutting back to once a week or so? That's less than a lot of normies.

This, quitting the internet is more important to stop seeking instant gratification
>quit my last job due to moving up the ranks too quickly and gaining too much responsibility
>was supposed to go back to school
>didn't happen
>end up falling back into NEETdom
>smoking a pack a day, drinking a case or more of alcohol and jacking off 3-4 times a day
>most of my free time is used to play vidya
>I don't even enjoy vidya
>decide to say fuck it at the beginning of the month
>quit smoking, drinking, fapping and vidya
>a little over a week later, only thing I've managed to fully quit is vidya
I feel so weak and useless, somebody just put me out of my misery.
>>27043964
maybe the cure is to find a job that's outdoorsy and requires manual labor and not a screen?
that way you will have less free time in the first place, and you might even enjoy vidya now and then as a reward for actually getting something done that feels real.
I'm what you'd call "successful" (just got an 80k STEM job) and I'm already dreading my future in a cubicle and worrying I made a mistake with my whole career path and should have gone into forestry or something like that.
>>27044054
desu i think the ideal job would be half manual/outdoors stuff and half office shit like i'm about to leave right now
i've had both types of jobs and they both get old after awhile
>>27044119
yeah I'm looking into what kind of shit I could do like that with my EE master's degree after a year or two being a military industrial complex drone.
I'm thinking oil rig or field engineer of some sort, though I lack the experience for it.
Or I'll just learn to invest and save better and go off-grid innawoods for a few years.
>quit 4chan and other mindless websites for a while
>finally able to enjoy vidya and other things again
I think 4chan makes you depressed, I couldn't enjoy anything in the real world until I stopped coming here
I'm gonna leave again fuck this place

I used to work in landscaping for 2 and a half years just over a year ago.
It sounded good at first, but than again, everything does. My crew consisted of older men, I was the only younger one. We'd work overtime the majority of the days off and money was above minimum wage.
Most of my free time consisted of sleeping, except on weekends. It was okay for the first year or so, but I'm only 23 and I started to get scared for the future.
I think that's one of my biggest problems, I'm always scared to commit, to anything. The thought that got me to quit was, "My god, is this it for the rest of my life? Working this job, and sleeping?"
I panicked, and quit. It's what happened with the job I just had. I'm a guy who enjoys working, and whenever I'm put in a position, I always try to give my best. I was only there for a few months, but they were trying to get me into a permanent, well paying position with a lot of responsibility. Once again, I got scared to commit and quit the same day I was offered the job.
I definitely agree with your first point, if I am going to be stuck in a job, it'd have to be outdoors. I hate spending all my free time online, but right now, I have nothing else. Even if I were getting paid for it, I'd want out.

this is completely true, though I really only suffered it from /pol/, /x/, and here, and before that all sorts of conspiracy forums. It's the fear/sadness porn that's the worst.
I don't find the same thing happening to me when I read more constructive boards like /diy/, /ck/ and /out/ and I feel less addicted to them because I'm not conditioned to come back out of fear.
>>27044193
>>27044263
I agree with this as well. I've always suffered with on and off depression, but coming here just makes it worse. Like they say:
>"Misery loves company"
And although I agree with this, at first coming to /r9k/ and /pol/ gave me a sense that I wasn't alone in my struggles. But over time, as I see more and more of it, see what's happening to the world and the situations going forward. It doesn't fill me with hope, or satisfaction... makes me more and more depressed, sucks me dry, the opposite of what I originally thought would happen.
Maybe it is for the best that I quit this god forsaken site.

Did you turn Muslim on us?
Good for you.
When you join your brothers in battle, please bring HD GoPro cams and Webm converters so we can keep following your progress.
Good luck to you.
>tfw drunk and on sedatives while I read this
>tfw on heavy meds in addition to that
>tfw just fapped to lolis
Life is good OP.

the one thing I don't see myself quitting is my group of chan friends from /vp/ I've had for 3 years streaming pokemon rom hacks.
I'm sure its addictive as anything else but I like talking to them about lots of things that aren't all misery, virginity and doom. (we don't even spend the whole time talking about pokemon, you'd be surprised how "normie" most of them are).
I've managed to get a range of hobbies that's not just vidya so I don't bore myself as a person but I can't stop smoking weed. I just like to escape for an hour or so most nights. Not even sure if it's worth quitting because I don't drink and I don't like Socialising

>I AM GONNA QUIT DRINKING ALCOHOL GODDAMIT
That's what they all say.
If alcoholism is wrong, then fuck being right. Life is too shit to suffer it sober.
All I want to do any more is get drunk, fuck some whore, kick the bitch out and pretend that the promise of a new, better future is still there, instead of the shitshow batfuck insanity I know is going to befall the West.
I'll meet the end of civilisation with vodka in my hand and a big smile on my face.
youre going to go from a fat estrogen inflated sad sap broken brainer to a lame dull wet dream having mess an d fat ansd awkward. In my opinion OP
