Before you stop drinking you need to identify the reasons why you do..

Compile a list of all the reasonswhy you want to stop drinking, it may help to get sopmeone you know to help you with your list.

It is also a good idea to review your list on a regular basis as doing so will enforce your commitment to stop drinking.

Once you have your list of reasons list of reasons, the next stage is to set your date for stopping.

To successfully stop drinking you need a plan. Post the date you intend to stop drinking on your refrigerator or bathroom mirror, or anywhere where you will frequently see it. Place several copies of the date around the house to keep the date firmly set in your mind.

You are likely to be more successful if you can enlist the help and support of others and let them know how they can help you make a success of your plan.Set up timescales of thirty days to review your plan, this will help you and will enhance your chance of success.

if you can make your plan into a habit then it will be easier to enforce. Every thirty days look at your reasons for quitting drinking and add any additional benefits which you have discovered.

Don’t bge too concerned if you have a relapse, just make a note of why you slipped and see what you could do to overcome the problem if it appears again.

Make sure you do this review every thirty days and it will make you stronger and more able to abstain from alcohol and as the months go past it will become easier and easier. Breaking a long term habit like  alcoholism will take time, but it is possible to beat it as long as you stay strong.

This method is very simple to follow and if you are dedicated it will work, but you must make sure that you contact your doctor beforehand as quitting drinking can be dangerous and thus assistance from your doctor is essential.

There are many obstacles that will stand in the way of you and your goal, but they can all be overcome. I knjopw this from personal experience and an addiction to alcohol that spanned nearly thirty years. Changes of habit and lifestyle are required and you need to accept this to be able to quit alcohol for good.

I quit drinking over two and a half years ago and have never had a relapse and if I can do it anyone can.
