Welcome!
Of course you can go out and
not drink, but if you are surrounded by drinkers,
especially the type of drinkers that we used to surround ourselves with, it's difficult and uncomfortable.

How to stop? If you're drinking hasn't progressed to the point where you may suffer serious withdrawal symptoms-dt's-then you simply stop. Avoiding your drinking buddies will make that easier.
Keep coming back, you'll find a
