I've been drinking for years now, and my simple but hard answer question is . "how I do give it up"? Thanks to whoever going to drop advices
well I will tell you how I did it, I have been told it is one of the hardest things to do.
are you prepared to completely walk away from your addiction, as well as your current friends who drink? having friends that are drinkers will make your quitting even harder,I've been there- there is always a "friend" that will decide that you have been on the wagon long enough and will pull you off- and get you drinking again.
ok how to quit- just simply quit- walk away from it- it will not be easy, but make a decision as a MAN and stick to it, you will have to stay away from bars for quite a while. I have often been asked by drinkers trying to get me to drink- why I quit drinking- and my simple answer is- that I made a life decision, for myself, as a man to stop drinking. they either respect that or they don't- doesn't really matter once you have been sober for a few years- the world looks quite a bit different from the sober side.
I have been sober for the past 13 years, somehow it worked for me- just walking away. it has been difficult at times, and I have almost relapsed numerous times- but help is always a phone call away at al-anon, alcoholics anonymous, etc.
so simply just decide as a man that drinking is no longer for you, make that decision, and just leave it behind. good luck.
There are a couple of treatment options: Long-term residential programs offer around-the-clock, drug-free treatment in a residential community of counselors and fellow recovering addicts. Patients generally stay in these programs several months or up to a year or more. Some of these programs are referred to as therapeutic communities.
Outpatient drug-free programs use a wide range of approaches including problem-solving groups, specialized therapies such as insight-oriented psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and 12-step programs. As with long-term residential treatment programs, patients may stay in these programs for months or longer.
Short-term inpatient programs keep patients up to 30 days. Most of these programs focus on medical stabilization, abstinence, and lifestyle changes. National Drug & Alcohol Treatment Hotline: 800-662-HELP
If you opt for self help there are some places that can help you (AA, etc..) http://www.drugnet.net/metaview.htm#SelfHelp
There are 4 basic approaches:
Record how much you drink each day (if you don't already know). Do this for maybe a week or so before you start trying to stop. The purpose of this is not only to make yourself aware of it, but also to provide a metric for later on. Commit yourself to 1 less drink a day for a period of about 2 weeks. After that 2 weeks, commit to another less drink a day. Continue this process until you're down to 0. You didn't become an alcoholic overnight, and you probably won't get over that fast either.
Cold turkey. Just stop and never drink again. This is the most common approach, and it almost always fails.
Rehab
Medications that interfere with the addictive properties
well it all depends on how much do you drink. Do you drink every day? The more you drink the harder it will be for you to quit. If you are going to quit I would suggest not stopping right away, gradually stop drinking by drinking half of what you usually drink at first, and then continue to decrease this amount until you're not drinking anymore. If you stop drinking right away (depending on how addicted you are) you could get symptoms such as tremors and lightheadedness or they could be more severe. Good luck
