I've looked into AVRT and SMART. I used techniques from both. And SR has been a big help. Right now I'm basically just not drinking.
I'm a binge drinker, so stopping isn't too much of an issue. But staying stopped is a problem.
And I've not ruled out AA or a 12-step program. I'm an agnostic, not an atheist, so I do have a spiritual side. But steps 1 and 2 are problematic for me. For one I don't believe I'm powerless, and believing a power greater than myself will restore me to sanity is something I would struggle with. But I do like the idea of meeting with people going through the same issues.
But I'll work it out, of that I have no doubt. My biggest hurdler is seeing a life without ever drinking. You see, I often see myself as I was 7 years ago, when I was able to control myself when I drank. Unfortunately, those days are gone, so I stopping for good is the my best option.
