Fool me once,

shame on you!!

Fool me twice,shame on me!

it will be a tough road to travel on alone,my friend,don't have any alcohol in your house!but by going to AA,you will have people their with the same problem who will help you more,then by doing it alone!

good for you for wanting to help yourself!!

Solving addiction there are no fast solution . It is all in your head. I think what you can do is set goals for your self. If you are truly addicted you need to see a doctor and he can supply you with some medicine that will ease your fight. Believe in yourself that the best advice I can give you. There are many natural remedies out there that claim to help you quit never tried them maybe someone with an experience can elaborate.

I would sugest everytime you are going to take a drink, Do a distration to it, Anything that delays taking the drink is helpful..Have a reward for yourself for the times you dont drink..

NOTICE: By the time you have noticed this notice, you will have noticed that this notice is not worth noticing.

Why are you afraid of joining AA?  Just "not feeling like it" doesn't "really want to quit".  If you are desperate to quit, you'd "go to any means" to recover; that includes AA.  There are other groups out there (SOS, Rational Recovery) but they don't have the success of AA--no group does.  There are people who can quit on their own, but they are rare.  Most all recovery groups use a 12-step program adapted from AA's program.

 

 Most of us alcoholics have learned the hard way that quitting requires support from our peers; this can only be obtained as a member of a group of some kind.

ADDENDUM:  In spite of what other answers have said, it is NOT "all in your head". Alcoholism is a disease, recognized as such by the American Medical Association, among others.  Like any other disease, it needs first to be evaluated by a competent physician, preferably one trained in addiction medicine.  It then needs long-term follow-up care.  If one does not want to go to AA, which is free, then one needs long-term care by a psychologist or psychiatrist, both of which cost money--lots of i!! If you are serious about getting well, it's your choice.

My Husband suffers from this as well, He has been clean now and he did this by only drinking ODouls, Non alcoholic beer there are other brands of this too. This can be purchased at most supermarket, grochery stores..Little cheaper than beer You can do it! Quitting brings all the normal things in life back and they are much better to have in you head than drunkedness
