  I believe the best way to quit drinking is on your own, it will be tough sometimes but you will come out as a stronger and a lot more energized person. You do not need a "higher power" you just need yourself and a conviction not to drink. I bet you don't realize how capable and strong you actually are, I did not at that time, but I sure do now! Anyway follow these steps to stop alcohol consumption...
  
  Figure out the reasons why you wish to quit drinking and fix a date for quitting. Speak to your friends and family regarding your plan to stop and ask them to be considerate in the beginning and to not drink around you. Try to not drink for 30 days, I read somewhere that it takes 1 month to defeat a habit. The toughest thing we have to face in our lives is change and it's really hard to change learned behavior, but it can be done. Good new behavior will also turn into a habit and it doesn't take a long time before you're comfortable to be around alcohol without being annoyed by it.
  
  Realize that alcohol dependency is a learned behavior and a "CHOICE". The alcohol addiction disease model is flawed, a disease implies something we've little if any control over. Every time you reach for the bottle, you're making the decision to do this. You can do something towards quitting drinking right now, but I bet that's a little scary is it not? The issue is a part of you, truly does not desire to stop and I would not be amazed if you felt a feeling of anxiety at the very thought. You actually have to want to quit to succeed, otherwise you're wasting your time. Are you prepared to quit drinking?
  
  Here are 5 quit drinking tips which helped me to stop drinking alcohol:
  
  Analyze your drinking habits and discover what triggers your drinking and what you can do to stop doing this. Perhaps you have to check out the company that you keep or places you frequent.
  
  Create a list of all the reasons why you want to quit drinking alcohol, list all of the difficulties and negative effects of your drinking. The justifications, the fights, unemployment etc.
  
  Make an appointment to see your Physician to assess the severity of your addiction and to find out what medication is available to aid you through withdrawal. Be fully honest with your Physician about the quantity which you drink and take your list you made before with you, so you do not forget anything. I was scared to learn that I was drinking over 10 times the safe drinking limit.
  
  I was a chronic alcoholic but was able to withdraw at home without hospitalization, however I needed medication to see me throughout the withdrawal process. I was prescribed a one week course of diazepam and this was an excellent aid. The Physician might also recommend medicines too like Antabuse that makes you feel sick if you drink. I think drugs of this type will just keep you sober whilst you are on them, I do not believe they are a lasting solution.
