Welcome GV,

I agree with Dee. It’s not a diet. It’s a permanent lifestyle change. I had to completely overhaul my thinking, behaviors and habits. To do that, I started individual therapy, yoga, meditation, exercise and coming here daily. I read a lot of recovery books and material too. Some folks go to AA as well, some do detox. I never went to AA but I do the 12 steps on my own. Things and people get under my skin every single day and this always drove me to drink in the past. But if I drank every time someone made me angry, I’d be drunk constantly. I had to deal with my issues with anger and stress separately and find healthy alternatives for handling it. Therapy helps with this.
