I've been drinking nearly every night since my mother passed away.....15 years ago this September. I think the answer to your question is to find out why we think we need to drink.....because we already know, it doesn't make stuff go away. Mom passed on my 51st birthday, so yeah, I'm pushing 66. One thing I do know, if enough people pray for you, without your knowing it, you will notice a change. Strength my fren.
Man if my mom died i'd be really bad. That's what I'm fearing now that she's getting older. She is my only person that loves me unconditionally. If i don't get my shit straightened out I'll be in a bad situation when she dies. I hope you and I can stop this shit.
Honestly your mother is supposed to die before you. My family my father died at 53, my mother died at 67, a brother died at 59 and a brother died at 25. You deal with it and move on.
Thanks Fren. Didn’t drink yesterday or today and today I worked out and made a healthy dinner. I prayed a couple times but idk if that’s what did it? It was so easy today. Like I had zero cravings
I lost my Mom last year 271 days ago. I'm 608 days sober.
For how to quit, it took me 4 tries but I went to an alcohol detox. They monitor you, give you meds to keep you stable and after they let you out after 4 days or 2 weeks, it comes to down to willpower. Some supplements like ashwaghanda, GABA and Vitamin D3 help, and I still smoke THC. God Bless, things are a lot better sober. I was a 5th of vodka each night heavy, physically addicted drinker (I think I went to Patriots.win at the time for help too). And if I can do it brother, I believe you can too!
Oh and you can't "moderate" drinking as an alcoholic, if you have a drop of it, it will turn into a daily habit almost immediately, that's why it took me 4 tries. I would say the First Step is admitting you have a problem but the more important Second and Final Step is to admit you can never touch a drop again.

You are a strong person.
We're praying for you, pede. Don't be hesitant to ask for prayers too.

I have a similar story. I found kratom removed my desire to drink.
