How do i quit Alcohol ?

Answer 1

One day at a time. Contact AA they will be able to help you.

Answer 2

If you've been drinking heavily, daily for a long period of time you should talk to a doctor on how to safely withdraw. Withdrawal from alcohol in a person who is severely dependent can cause serious and even life-threatening symptoms. You may have to do so under medical supervision where you can be monitored and medications can be given to control the withdrawal symptoms. Detoxifying is only the first step. You'll need counseling and support groups to help you stay sober. If you're not severely physically dependent then counseling and groups like AA can be very beneficial. Many people with substance abuse problems don't always kick it the first time. Alot of people relapse but there is never reason to give up hope. You just try again. I wish you well.

How to Quit Drinking Alcohol
If you feel that you drink too much, these steps may help you.

Steps
Consider that you might want to Get Sober with a 12 Step Program or Quit Drinking Without AA. Alternatively, consider these less formal steps:
Do not buy groceries and alcohol at the same time.
Pick a day on which to drink (this means don't have a beer or a shot or get buzzed in between). If it helps, privately write down how you felt all week until your first drink.
On your designated day, before you drink, or get ready to go out (you might have to really, consciously put effort into this): read/remember how you felt all week, the highs and lows.
Avoid drinkers. Plain and simple, stay out of bars. Don't buy cigarettes at booze stores, don't pull alcohol for your friends or family.
It's impossible in life to avoid places that involve alcohol; at this vulnerable and sore time in your life, however, never put yourself in situations. If you find yourself in them, then find your way out. Mainly, the same door you came in.



Tips
Do WHATEVER you have to, but DO NOT have that first drink. If this means AA meetings, religion, a pot of coffee, 10 packs of smokes a day, outpatient programs, counselling, then DO IT. These things become the weapons in the fight for YOUR life.
Why alcohol is taking over your life is a question that will only be answered when you DON'T let it take over your life. It's like a kind of non-living, evil dictator demon liquid that can only live and breathe and act in the world through you.
Tell the truth: if someone sees that your behaviour has changed regarding drinking, just say it. "I quit drinking" or "I'm slowing down"... That truth will eventually disarm the pressure that people, places, and events have on you to drink.
Everything you've just read here took maybe 10-15 mins of your time (and nothing else).



Warnings
Don't cut way down right away, or you may go on a drinking binge.
If you are a very heavy drinker, quitting 'cold turkey' can cause life-threatening medical problems.
The booze has your life, and will fight to keep it.

Answer 4

Consuming alcohol is injurious to health in long run. In place of involving alcohol party you start some other activities like sports, running, jogging or any other indoor games. Secondly avoid access or approaching a group which is prone to alcohol parties. You start a habit of reading newspapers, magazines, books etc.
Start practising yoga so that your mind will be free from such activities.
