I was abusing it for a while, myself, because I was so stressed out and unhappy. I started to believe I was an alcoholic, so I went to the doctor and got a prescription for a mild anti-anxiety medication. Once that kicked in, I kicked the alcohol habit. Now I allow myself drinks once a week, and not because I'm stressed. It was hard, but I didn't want to go to AA either.Alcohol problem, advice?
It happened to me too and yes AA wasn't/isn't for me either.What I did was take a leave of absence and checked myself into a hospital for 2 months because I knew I couldn't detox without being contained.Also wanted to develope my coping skills. I have been out of the hospital for 5 months and my drinking has greatly curtailed.I drink maybe once a month and it is for enjoyment rather than boredom.
I know you mentioned you didn't want help from others,but I would consider it.
i like the first answer best i thought i was an alcoholic so i went to the doctor and he put me on pills now im better and i only drink a couple of times a week ,,, after i pop my pills !!! NICE!!!
I don't know how to kick it without help from others, but I know acupuncture is incredibily successful with alcohol addiction.
