How can I stop drinking?
Answers:
I understand your problem. Fristly don't go anywhere near a drinking place for 3 weeks to a month, if friends invite you tell them you are sick and recovering (which is true). Each time you have an urge to have a drink take a large glass of water and drink it all at once, then maybe drink another after that, have lots of good fruits like oranges around and eat them. But drink lots and lots of water.
The other important thing is to get your head right, just keep telling yourself that you are doing the right thing and that the path you have chosen is good for you, and dont look to far ahead just take it a day at a time and each day without a drink is a victory, and find someone that is also sober and talk to them, learn to make your own fruit juice cocktails, there are many out there. and volunteer to be nominated driver for your drinking friends, when you go out with them and they are drinking, listen to them, you will not believe the amount of crap that comes out of somebodies mouth that is drunk and remember you used to be like that............ good luck
find other drinks that you like without alcohol in them and when ever you crave the alcohol drink that instead
Tape your mouth closed or staple it...whichever you like
Are you referring to alcohol or just drinking beverages in general??
Why couldn't you stop drinking? Are you an addict to alcohol!If you are go to AA & they can solve the problem for you. Nothing much I can do why my advise might good enough for you to turn your life around to do something fruitful & useful for your family if you got one.
It's all about self control.You know that you aren't an addict and your life is going to move on even without alcohol.So whats the use cribbing.Only you can help yourself no one else.
