Answers:
It starts in the head with an awareness that you've got a problem. But that won't make you stop drinking. When your heart is truly broken as you look at what you've done with your life and how drinking has effected the lives of the people you love ... then, and only then, are you on the right path toward stopping. Then, it becomes a daily issue that you must deal with. Identify and stay away from "triggers". Tell some people close to you that you have a problem with alcohol and that you're going to quit, not that you are trying to quit. I agree, AA is for some people but it wasn't for me either. What really helped get me through the first thirty days was determination in my heart and mind, prayer, and reading the Bible - the book of Romans in particular. Thats what gave me strength and I've been clean and sober for over 3 years now. Email me if you want to talk - norgus9@yahoo.com.
