1. Don't hang around people and places where you might be tempted to
drink. Stop going to the bars where you used to drink and stop
associating with people who will pressure you to drink.




2. Go through your cabinets and throw away every single bottle of
alcohol. If you have a spouse or roommate who drinks alcohol, kindly
ask if they could drink when you're not around.





3. Take it one day, one second, or even one hour at a time.




4. Advertise it to the world that you want to quit drinking. Seek the
support and encouragement from family, friends, and people who have
been in your shoes and can help you with your goal.




5. Reward yourself when you don't drink alcohol. For every day, week,
or month that passes and you don't drink, celebrate with a gift! Give
yourself incentives to keep going.




6. Visualize yourself and how it will be when you've completely kicked
the alcohol habit. Visualization is very powerful in instilling into
your subconscious that you are committed to this goal. Do these
visualization exercises in the morning and evening.




7. Give yourself realistic goals and take it one stop at a time. Maybe
you can't quit all at once, so perhaps you could just gradually cut
down your drinking day by day.




8. Get help with the psychological and emotional issues related to your
alcoholism. Many people begin drinking alcohol to get away from
problems or maybe alcoholism is something that has been going on in the
family for some time. Find someone you feel comfortable talking to
about these problems.





9. Find positive and meaningful hobbies to keep you busy.





10. Never give up!
