Like everyone seems to say "different strokes for different folks" there is no 1 way that will work for everyone 100% of the time. Try 1- try them all if necessary. You have to WANT to quit and in many cases you have to NEED to quit. I didn't want to quit but I was told quit or die a slow death so I chose to quit. I very quickly accepted that "drinking is NOT an option" for me; I went to 8-10 AA meetings and it was a great place for me to start, first of all it made me realize how un-alone I was and the literature and the steps are great tools which I took with me and added to my renewed and enlightened faith in God I've had no trouble staying sober for over 2 years. I also strongly grasped on to the idea of having an allergy to alcohol and that is how I think of alcohol now, that I'm allergic to it and for me that is enough.
