Hi, I’m Vipul and I want to share my story.
For years, alcohol controlled my life. It started as a way to relax—just a drink or two after work. But slowly, it became something I needed every day. One drink turned into many, and before I knew it, I was stuck in a cycle I couldn’t break.
I kept telling myself, “I can stop anytime.” But I never did. Instead, I started hiding bottles, avoiding family, and making excuses. My health got worse, my relationships suffered, and I felt completely lost.
One day, I woke up on the floor, not even remembering how I got there. That was my breaking point. I realized I couldn’t go on like this. I needed help.
Quitting wasn’t easy. The cravings, the withdrawals, the guilt—it all felt unbearable. But step by step, with the support of people who understood my struggle, I started to heal.
Now, I wake up with a clear mind. My body feels stronger. My relationships are slowly getting better. Most importantly, I feel like myself again.
If you’re struggling, I want you to know this—you’re not alone. It might seem impossible now, but change is possible. Take it one day at a time. You deserve a better life.

Thank you again, Vipul, for your courage and for being a beacon of hope.
I can relate to your situation. Every morning, I decide to quit, but the stress of work and evening cravings make it hard to stick to that decision. I know it’s not good for me, and while I don’t want to quit entirely, I aim to moderate my drinking to just once a week. I enjoy drinking and don’t want to stop completely, so I’m trying to change my daily habits and routine. This includes taking daily walks, doing at least 30 minutes of exercise or yoga, eating healthy, and avoiding junk food.
But I would like to know What specific changes helped you the most?
I know exactly how that feels—I used to wake up telling myself I’d drink less, but by evening, stress made me reach for a glass anyway. What helped me was making small changes instead of forcing myself to quit overnight.
At first, I just delayed my first drink—telling myself, “Not now, maybe later.” Most times, the craving passed. Some nights, I poured a non-alcoholic drink in the same glass just to trick my habit. It felt weird, but it worked.
I also noticed that on days I ate junk food, I craved alcohol more. Eating better actually helped me control my drinking.
The biggest shift? Catching myself before I poured a drink and asking, “Do I really want this, or is it just routine?” That small pause made a huge difference.
You’re already trying to change your routine, and that’s a great start. Keep going—small wins add up
Excellent! I love the idea of using the same glass. I’ll definitely give that a try!
For my cravings, I started keeping a small piece of ginger in my mouth, which has helped reduce the craving. The logic is that ginger contains some sulfur, and a lack of sulfur amino acids in body can lead to alcohol cravings. This home remedy has been working well for me. In Ayurveda, sulfur is also recommended for those experiencing liver issues due to excessive drinking.
Thanks for sharing. I relate this with one of my relative as well. Did you take Doctor’s help and take some medication too?
I didn’t take medication or see a doctor. For me, it was more about breaking the habit and finding better ways to handle stress.
But I know some people who found medication helpful, especially for strong cravings. If it gets too hard, professional help can be a good option.
Is your relative trying to quit or just cut down?
Thanks. I wish he quit, but he wish to control, so he can drink when he wants, but I know it rarely happens.
If you feel your relative should seek medical help, I believe consulting a doctor would be a good step. A doctor can provide the right guidance and prescribe medication to support their journey.
