Subject: RE: BS: Quitting drinking
Dry for 11 years and counting.

Replace booze with a non-alcoholic drink, do something creative with your hands, avoid alcoholic places until you can attend such places without drinking, exercise instead, don't have booze handy, chewing gum, go to bed at a decent hour without drink, avoid coffee, get up early and do something useful, make no excuses for failure, eat right and avoid the foods you enjoyed while boozing, mark the time and day you stop drinking and focus on the next day, then the next etc.

In the end though, there are no tricks, just mega willpower and stamina.

Peace, Mooh.
