how to quit alcohol

Looking for genuine advice folks. I can't put down the bottle no matter how hard I try. Nothing feels exciting anymore, not even drinking and I drink just to maintain a baseline will to go through my days. Have been drinking daily, more than half a bottle for more than a year now. I work at a startup and get paid decently but I'm never at even my 30%. Always hungover, sleep deprived and uninterested. If someone went through this, please give some genuine advice.

Put the name on the bottle with your wife's name. You will automatically start disliking it and very soon you will quit.

I’m not even married. I’m still in my early 20s, and the woman I thought I might marry skedaddled. That's one of the reasons I started this shit.

You will quit one way or another, sooner or later.

I used to drink like a fish all through my 20s, like 2-3 drinks every week night, and 10-20 drinks over each weekend while clubbing / partying.

Then by the time I reached 30, I had enough liver damage and fatty liver deposits, that the liver could not metabolize alcohol properly, so I started getting bad hangovers the next day, from just 1-2 drinks any evening. That automatically brought down my drinking quantity & frequency.

Now in my 40s, it's so bad that I can barely manage to have 1 drink in 3 months. 😅

So either you can voluntarily stop drinking while your liver is healthy, or liver damage will involuntarily stop your drinking sooner or later 😂

Shit. I'm in my early 20s too and liver's already starting to give out. Let's see, this might be a phase.
