I tried everything else I could think of to make that feeling go away. I reasoned with it, I bargained with it, I tried to educate it, I threatened it, I begged it. Nothing ever worked for me except starving it. I highly recommend it.
Best of Luck on Your Journey.

So how do you do it. Simply, by using everything in your arsenal to keep you from taking that first sip. So you can post here, Goto ann AA meeting, try an Alanon meeting, check out rational recover and other programs, read about your disease, distract yourself by reading about alcohol.
Essentially alcohol is out enemy, and it will kill us from the inside out, first destroying our relationships and friendships, the removing oit families from is, and finanlly removing sanity from our lives.
But you can bear this! So many people have recovered from even worse positions
