I’m a young man who drinks and I want to quit.
To preface this I’m 15, I’m a day worker on a few ranches around my area. And if you know any thing about ranch hands, they LOVE day drinking. On one of the ranches I work on I work with a guy who’s 17 and he’s a bad alcoholic, every morning when we go out to the ranch he has a beer in his hand, and he doesn’t quit until he’s out of the stuff. The other day he offered me a beer, so I drank 2 and felt disgusted with myself. One day after working I went to see my girlfriend. And that day she opened up to me about how her old boyfriend got drunk one night and almost hit her. And ever since she opened up about that, it made me feel terrible about my own struggles with alcohol. I want to quit, not only for her, but for my future kids and family. I grew up seeing my moms side of my family way more than my dads side. And a lot of them struggle with alcohol, including my mom. My dad’s side are strict southern Baptists. So I’ve never seen them drink. So can I get some advice on how to quit alcohol, I fall to peer pressure easy. And I don’t want to ruin any of the relationships I have, not only with my anti-alcohol girlfriend, but also with my alcoholic friends and coworkers. Please give me some much needed wisdom 🙏
