I really wasn't sure where on reddit to place this, but here seemed like a good place to start to try to combat my addictions.
I'm tired of feeling tired all the time, I need some kind of guidance/help in my life. For the past probably 3-4 years I have been a daily drinker, weekdays I will have 1-2 beers when I get home from work, then that goes straight into whiskey cocktails, I will drink half of a fifth of whiskey at least most nights along with the beer or two. Weekends aren't better at all, it usually starts with at least a 6 pack then it goes right into the whiskey until I get drunk and go to bed just to regret it in the morning. Secondly, I currently dip (chewing tobacco) one can a day which I've done for the past 10 years (it sounds so crazy typing that out finally and seeing how long its been) this is something that I have to stop. I have successfully gone a week without it a few times over the past year but the cravings get the best of me and I'll end up right where I started. I know at some point I've got to have the willpower to just give it up but it always brings me back. Lastly, I've got some weight to lose I've gotten up to 235lbs from 180lbs where I felt good about myself, I feel disgusted with myself, clothes don't fit well and I keep trying to wear my same clothes thinking that their fine and when I look at myself in the mirror I feel horrible. I only get 5-6 hours of sleep on a good night staying up late drinking and snacking, and when I wake up I feel horrible, I know that I've got to start some kind of diet and cleaning up my intake, I have to have multiple cups of coffee or energy drinks and I still feel tired all the time. I've seen myself go from happy and energetic to down and lethargic the past few years, I'm sick of it I need a change I can't stop living like this because I know it won't lead me to a full lengthy life. I need encouragement/ advice/accountability/help.
