Binge Drinking

i would like to quit drinking alcohol.I become irresponsible and spend money unnecesariliy.I have crushed my two cars in a space of two and half years while under the influence of alcohol. At times i engage in physical fights while under the influence of alcohol and caused grievous bodily harm.I fear the worst and would to stop now.I have tried in the past but i still drink when with friends.I spend on average R2500 a weekend on alohol as i tend to buy alcohol for those i will be with. My goal is to quit drinking alcohol and focus more on significant personal matters.

Hey friend, it’s not over.  Things can always get better.  I suggest a book called “You are the placebo” by Dr. Joe Dispenza and possibly “The 12 steps for life” by Jordan Peterson.  While Peterson comes off as controversial, his message is pure intent to help struggling people like you and me.  Hang in there, I’m struggling with the same issue.

Good job on making your first step in getting your life back. Wow it sure has taken you alot to realize you need to stop drinking! I don't know what R2500 means but I will assume it means alot of money. I see that your 29, How often do you drink and how much? I would be glad to share some info with you about how to get started on your new quest for sobriety. My main concerns are your detox, since just up and stopping completely can be dangerous and in rare cases become fatal. The ideal is to devise a plan on how much to cut back daily if you the kind of person that drinks every day.
