Re: I drink too much and would like to stop. Advice?
I was considering majoring in alcohol and drug counseling for awhile. If you really cant stomach the thought of AA and want to try to kick it on your own -which is a really hard thing to do- I would suggest a few motivational books pertaining to quitting. The market is full of them and they will list all the benefits of quitting for good and critical tips for facilitating this. However, the key is to quit cold turkey. Believe me man, this is the only way. Most people fail because they think they can just cut back and drink in moderation, but it never works. I had the same problem once and I also found that exercising helped tremendously. When I started to get in shape I was more willing to trade the bottle for a treadmill. Overall there are lots of ways, you just have to have the willpower. Best of luck.
