I'm in your same boat. I really do need beer to sleep at night. I figure though that as long as I know that I have a problem.. then I'll stop sometime. I was drinking around 12-18 per night. Blacking out and waking up with no problems. Wasting a ton of money. I've been like this for the past 2 years though.. I can't sleep without it.. I literally lay there for hours trying to just get tired enough for my mind to shut the fuck up. Ambien and Ambien CR only works for a night or two, and I feel like shit the next morning. Beer really does just relax you to the point of where you can sleep. Working 3rd shift got me into it, and when I made it to 2nd.. all it did was made it where I had more time to drink
Figured out a nice way to slow it down though... drink warm beer. I can only handle so much before I want to get sick. I drink 1-3/night now. I come home and keep myself busy until I'm ready for bed and drink 1-3... go to sleep.
I've tried to quit several times too, I started putting on weight and shit from drinking so much budweiser, I actually swapped to bud light thinking it would help. I really slowed down because of the g/f.. doesn't like me being drunk. Which I don't blame her.
Pot is a easy way out too, but I find myself not wanting to sleep when I smoke. I'd rather sit up and watch tv or something, and eat. And that bag won't last long... it'll be just like beer. 3 days from now you'll be smoking 3 j's and eatin a shit ton of food.
