Congrats best I managed was to quit drinking daily. Drank daily for like 2 and half years and many years before that 3-5 times a week. I'm down to just my off days now which is 1 maybe 2 days a week.

To put this in perspective I was drinking 20 to 30 shots of Jack Daniel's a day for those 2 and half years. That would put a lot of people face down in the dirt but I was doing it catching 4 hours of sleep and going to work.

I'm down to what's equivalent of 10 drinks when I drink now. Rehab didn't fully work cause I truly didn't wanna quit I just wanted to get it under control.

But yeah congrats I know it ain't easy. Alcohol is only one of two types of "drugs" that the withdrawal can kill you.

Recreational drugs are a sin. You're tumbling along a hamster wheel and imagine yourself to be climbing a mountain. Yet when you finally fall, Satan will be no further from you than when you started.

How does one have the conversation with a friend that hey they should stop completely? They went to rehab for around two months, but now that they are out they kinda just drink a little less or even the same as before.

It's touchy. If someone doesn't wanna quit they ain't gonna. And it's a real fine line between talking to them and getting to understand vs making them mad and them digging their heels in.

You don't. It's not your choice. Your choice is to either be their friend in their current state or don't to protect your mental health. You can gently tell them you think they should stop drinking but why is your place to tell someone what to do? It's a shitty situation but that's the reality.

They might want to stop, but youre not going to be the one to swoop in and make it all better. You can let them know youre worried about them and you want them to be happy and healthy but they have to want that for themselves. Also two months is not a good barometer for gauging how someone is working on their addiction.
