I can't really tell you how YOU stop...

but having been right where you are, I can tell you how I did.

I started here;

Big Book On Line - Table of Contents - Linked with the permission of Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.

I went to meetings.

I got a sponsor.

I read about RR and AVRT - and I use some of their theory.

I am working the steps.

I am getting support here.

I am making small changes in my life to deal with the underlying reasons I drank (because sobriety is about so much more than just 'not drinking').

I am finding my own combination of these tools that keeps me sober and it took me several tries over the course of many years and a lot of crap I wish I had avoided by starting this process sooner....

but am grateful that now I am at 37 days sobriety and my life is looking good!
