I think just quitting something is not the way. You need to replace it with a healthier alternative.

i almost lost my job this week because of alcohol anon, shit fucking sucks - actually lost a nice resident manager job last year because of by stupid drunken antics, had that shit for over like 16 years too :(

i'm trying the therapy meme and will probably attend a AA meeting Sunday, doesn't seem to be much else i can do at this point

the doc actually recommended 2 weeks inpatient but i simply cannot afford the time off work, if i could even get it off

Do you people just go to work shitfaced or something? How does alcohol effect you on the job unless you're super hungover?

for me it's calling out the next day because i simply cannot function - try downing 3 40oz of shitty steele reserve and see if you can do anything productive the next day

Don't down three 40ozs. of shitty malt liquor next time, moron. If you're going to be an alcoholic, at least be a functioning alcoholic

i'm not surprised

i've been a 'functioning' alcoholic for years anon but lately i just can't stop once i start - i got ONE 40oz at first but after that was gone pretty quickly i ordered an uber to take me to the 7/11 and back to get more, don't remember much after that, apparently ordered a shitload of food delivered and emailed work saying i wouldn't be in

oh and the worst part for me is no matter how much i drink, past say 2-3 beers, i simply will not sleep or i might get a couple hours of shitty 'sleep'

really fucking up my mental health lately

>can't stop drinking DA BOOZ
I'm afraid you have a bad case of normie-itis. Advanced stages of the disease can lead to HITTIN DA CLUBZ, making GETTIN FUKKED UP :DDD your default weekend activity and an uncontrollable urge to yell "WOOOOOOOO"

The longer you stay sober the better you'll feel. Just listen to your sponsor, ask him for advice, do what he says, and go to lots of meetings early on. I have 17 months of sobriety and still go to around 4 meetings a week. For the first year I went to around 6-7 per week. You can do it anon. My life is amazing now, I have everything I ever wanted and more. It's hard to stay sober at first but more worth it than you know.
