Answers:
Put down the drink!. Walk away!. Now do that for a long period of time!. The ONLY person that can stop it is YOU!. No one can quit drinking for you!.

Not being sarcastic!. That's what I did after I left AA (it was a bunch of B/S)!. There is NO disease, no perment problem with you - that theory was invented to get people to buy into the AA thing - it's a fascinating story if you look it up!)!. It's all in your head!. Once you've stopped drinking for awhile, you won't want to; after the chemicals are out of your system, you don't really care anymore!.!.!. it's the getting them out that's painful!.

Try cognative behavior therapy, rational recovery, or the "lizard brain theory" or SOS!. All four have better success rates than AA - and dont' have the religion or groupiness!.!.!.!.

There are several yahoo groups devoted to this - or websites that detail them!. I like the monster / lizard brain one!.!.!. basically, whenever you do something that feels good, your brain stem (lizard brain) stores the experience under "Feels good" and trys to get you to repeat it!. You just have to picture yourself saying "NO!" to the lizard or monster asking for a drink - your frontal lobe is MUCH stronger than that lizard brain!.!. the visualization takes the edge off and lets you get some distance from the "need" to drink!.!.!.!.!. that's the simplistic explanation - I'd look it up for better details!.!.!.

If you are drinking to the point that you want help you probably can't do it on your own!. Research ANY other type of program!. Rehab or something like it!. If your case is bad enough you may need a medical detox!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a drug called anabuse, eat the pill and if you drink you will be sicker than a dog!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
