Drinking is taking over- how to stop it?
Related Topics
Hello
I think it is fair to say that i have been drinking excessivly for many years now and it has gotten a lot worse in the last 6 months.I own a small business in a small country town and there are a lot of alcohol related problems here.i have sought help before but it is almost as if i am only hearing what i want to hear when i see the doctor and i just continue on. i drink for days in a row sometimes and basically i cant stop.
Something has to give ,i am under 40 and should be pretty happy with life but its not the case.
How can i fix this once and for all?

My research interests include immunology and the mechanisms of amyloid formation. The latter has implications for people who are dealing with Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease … View Profile
I think that Grant has offered you great advice.
Writing as somebody who is in remission from alcohol addiction and still gets urges to drink, I have found that the “one day at a time” approach helps.
Ie, if I get urges I say to myself “Tomorrow you can get smashed out of your mind. Not today though, today you will be sober.”
I say that to myself the next day and the next day and the next day… until the urges fade.
This has helped me and I hope that it will help you too.Report this post
