One Brutal Way to Get Sober You Might Not Agree With
You’ve already done it, but were you paying attention?
Here’s a honest answer, kind of.
Keep drinking.
Drink until you fuck your health up. All while you piss friends, and family off so bad they want nothing more to do with you. And make sure you go completely flat fucking broke while your at it. Make sure you do it right!
Even after that, keep drinking
Drink until you hate the alcohol more than you hate yourself. Drink until the insanity of your thoughts make you question the reality of what never was.
Suffer, that’s how you quit drinking. But it’s not your normal suffering like that of the “normies” in the world. An addict is suffering at a much deeper level. But in reality, everyone has some vice, or addiction. Some are just more socially acceptable than others.
Doesn’t matter if it’s the drink, food, relationships, drugs, etc. It’s the moment you cling on to something that has dire consequences, but you continue to cling to the hope, and potential because it makes life a little more bearable.
If I were you, I’d quit on your terms. Don’t make it where health, or family do it for you.
It won’t be pretty.
