how do you truly overcome addictions?

i need to get rid of my drinking problem

Exercise and caring about how im gonna be tomorrow

Physically spending time in another place + exhausting myself is enough for me to not reach for my vices after im done

Basically dont have idle hands

Idle hands are the devils worship op make sure you got things going on.

Also if possible break down that huge goal into a smaller one like “don’t drink for a week” and go from there.

That energy needs to go somewhere

We spittin

Is it money, is it girls, is it weed?

Chase different vice

well what do u have control over, is it the supply of alcohol at home, are u actively going to a bar to drink

Gotta man up and take control

IMO there are two things that are fundamental to lasting change; the desire to change for your own well-being coupled with community support. I recommend looking for a local open MKP group and connecting with them. It's not addiction specific but it is imo incredibly powerful to be surrounded by other men who you feel safe around to say anything and everything, who will encourage you to become the best you can be. It's been life changing for me.

Find meaning in life that allows you to not need your addiction

I don't have any magical advice from my experience

I miss tiktok

Deal with the underlying issues.
What makes you wanna drink?
What are you trying to get away from? Or get too?

Just quit bro

I did dry january and realized i look much better without the alcohol bloat. I looked fine with it but i can tell the difference, mostly in my gut.

I also sleep better

Drinking addiction WILL ruin you

Been great for me

What? Whats the story behind this ?

What are you drinking @op

Can you swap whatever it is out for something less harmful but meets your requirements ritual addiction stuff (I say that BC I feel like alot of addiction is ritual based, pouring the wine , cracking the beer, making a mixed drink, etc)

I have struggled w alcohol addiction and alot of substance abuse stuff in the past and still struggle tbh, but I feel like context is important, and also baby steps Is cliche to say but sometimes it's what needs to be done to get right
