I am the same as you as in needing instructions !
AA have some good ones. Would you consider going to a meeting ?
I would consider it, yes. I've also found a good site in my country (I prefer to keep that anonymous). They offer an online self-help course. And also offer treatment for those who need more help. And they are THE institute when it comes to alcohol and drugs in my country.
So, liking plans, I've made one:
1. See what happens when I don't drink.
2. Should it become difficult, start the online course and post here.
3. Should that not be enough, ask for more help from that institute.
4. Perhaps go to an AA meeting. I'm a bit concerned that people see me going there, but then again, my health is more important.
