I have been a drunk for about five years. I am go out about once a week nad get plowed. Now, that being said. I want to get away from alcohol, but there is a part of my brain that really enjoys it. I know that is bad, and I shouldn't but I do. So I am looking for your advice. The longest I have went without drinking in recent history is 6 weeks.

Anyway, to the advice part. I want to stop drinking or at least the logical side of my brain does. How do I do it ? Am I an alcoholic, do I go to AA. I am sorry to ask stupid questions, but I just don't know how to quit. Please pray and help me to figure this out.

Thanks for your help. :uzi2:

AA is a great place to get feedback. Face to face recovery is really been the most beneficial for me.

Definately give AA a fair shot. I can't even tell you how fortunate I am to have been given such an amazing gift, in that everything AA has to offer. It's nothing that I thought it would have been.... try to keep an open mind.

If you can go without alcohol for long periods then there should be no physical problem with your stopping (though it might be a good idea to check with a dr). The hard part will be the mental part. What worked for me was changing my routines and activities. I would plan something specific for the times when I would have been drinking to make sure that I was busy doing something else. I changed the routine of my day so that I wasn't walking past the same liquor store. So plan ahead and make changes and you'll be able to do this!
