As long as folks aren't driving or forcing pledges to drink to their deaths, some (maybe even a lot) of recreational heavy drinking in your twenties seems fine. It's folks like me who don't grow out of that and actually get worse that are sad and pathetic. Nothing more lame than the drunk old folks at the bar or party. Don't be that person.. and if the alternative to sobriety is just staying home all the time to get blasted almost every night... definitely time to just give it up.
Leave that to the youngsters.
And "normal drinkers"? What the hell is that? Drinking one or two drinks and not wanting a third or even not finishing the second one? Who does that??? Hahaha.Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

All I want tonight is to pop a klonopin. 9.5/10 on edge and it’s very uncomfortable.
If I had any right now I’d have caved.
And I have issues with that fact.

Started the annual sugar detox today, which obviously includes no booze…..I am already dreading this evening, as I habitually knock back a couple while cooking…..Any tips from the collective? I’ve done this annually for the last three years, but this year feels……..different.
What we have here is an intelligence failure. You may be familiar with staring directly at that when shaving. .

Sounds familiar. Feels how different?
If you start getting the shakes and fine motor control goes. - your detoxing. If true I might be able to point you in the right direction.
Other than that. Will power. Either it’s silly to drink when you don’t want to. Or. This is a problem I don’t want to drink but I’m going to anyway. - Alcoholic.Own your fail. ~Jer~

The first 2 weeks is the hardest and requires willpower. After that it’s just a decision you have made and much easier to stick to.
I just kept telling myself that I’m a non-drinker now. It became very apparent that I have total control of what I put to my lips and ingest.

FYI almost all NA beers actually have .5% ABV and will still trigger the phenomenon of craving making you just want real beers even more.

They contain "up to" 0.5% as that's the legal limit, but that still means you'd have to drink 10+ to get one normal beer's worth of alcohol. I wouldn't recommend NA beer to an alcoholic who's in recovery, but seano isn't that AFAIK.

Yes, if you are having cravings they will only make your cravings worse. You won't feel a buzz but even drinking one your brain will recognize that there is even a minute amount of alcohol and make you want more ASAP.
So many potential/in denial alcoholics try the NA beer thing and will just eventually drink real booze.

THIS. Alcoholics aren't really all in for the taste.. It's the feelings that taste can evoke. Taste is definitely a trigger for an alcoholic. especially if there's no or little alcohol in the FIRST one.. At least that's been my experience.. and countless other drunks I know.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!
