I could never control the amount I drank. Once I put that first drink in my hands, my drinking would become uncontrollable. I had to choose between the life of an uncontrollable alcoholic or a sober person so I could manage my life again.
I found that having an effective addiction treatment plan helps me maintain sobriety on a daily basis. There a few to choose from like; SMART Recovery, Rational Recovery, AA, LigrRing and a host of others. They all are equally effective in bringing about a psychical deep change that is necessary to recover from alcohol abuse/dependence. Again choice is key. Choosing the recovery program that best fits your needs will bring about the best results.
