Today, half of my motivation to stop drinking is so that my tolerance will go down, because I currently can't actually afford enough alcohol to get even tipsy anymore. FML

Maybe it's a sign you should stop drinking for a long while OP.

Quitting will be the hardest thing you ever do. It will also be the most fulfilling thing you ever do. Everything about you will change, in a good way. I speak from experience. My husband was an alcoholic. He barely ate, had no interest in his wife and kids, and very little desire to live. Six months later he is the best father and husband I could ask for, he's put the weight back on and looks healthy, and has a great outlook on life. Best of luck OP, and if you need support, you're more than welcome to message me.

Sorry my phone froze and I accidently posted that comment before I was able to finish. But as I was saying. Since the age of 13 I have never been sober for more then a day. First it was just weed and alcohol. I would smoke weed every chance that I got, but if I couldn't get weed I would drink. At that age I hated being sober. In fact being sober would drive me crazy. Well I had a really big group of friends and they always partied so I rarely had to be sober. A couple years later at the age of 15 I was introduced to painkillers by a good friend of mine. Every time he had pills he would crush them, and he would give me half of whatever he had that night. By the age of 18 I had tried to quit pills many different times. For a while I would do alright. I would get through the withdrawals without a problem (though it was terrible. Each time I went through it I would get sicker and I would feel worse. But something would always bring me back. Now I'm 20. In a few months I will be 21. For the first time in my life I am sober. I have only been sober for about 3 months now. Even though it hasn't been that long I am happier then I have been since I started my life of addiction. I will stay sober for the rest of my life if everything works out. I'm sorry that I typed such a long comment. I just wanted to say that living sober doesn't really suck. And OP I wanted to tell you that the longer you stay sober the easier it will get for you. I know that it is the hardest thing that you have ever dealt with, but trust me OP as long as you stay sober, your'e life will keep getting better. I promise you OP keep going no matter how hard it gets. Everything will work out OP.

The truth is sobriety is the most amazing experience. I started drinking, smoking weed, and doing every drug I could get my hands on at the age of 13.
