  There're conflicting counsels about how to quit drinking alcohol. You have to chart your own course from the lots of crisscrossing strategies to quit alcohol consumption.
  
  Have a Clear Vision:
  A specific vision about an alcohol free life may motivate you and reinforce your efforts to stop alcohol consumption. If you stop alcohol consumption, you'll enhance your overall health and quality of life. Your relationship with your parents, spouse, children, relatives and friends will improve.
  
  Adverse Effects of Alcohol Addiction:
  Alcohol addiction might increase your odds of hurting yourself as well as others under its influence. Addiction to alcohol destroys the life both emotionally and physically. It reduces the person to be his caricature. You set bad example before your children and forfeit moral authority to check them if they do anything wrong. There're many actions about how to stop alcohol consumption.
  
  Self Help--Introspection:
  Think carefully and try to see the advantages of refraining from alcohol consumption. You might have been discarded by your boy/girl friend you loved most simply because you are an alcohol addict and are given to repeated relapses. You may not have been able to realise your dream of differentiating yourself, for instance, as an art designer just because of your alcoholism. Make an effort to analyze the end result of your past drinking and visualize your future. How it would change if you stopped drinking. Make a determined effort to quit drinking once for all. When you do so, you might be having conflicting thoughts about the benefits of stopping to drink alcohol and your vulnerability in giving it up altogether.
  
  Ambivalent Thinking:
  This ambivalence about drinking comes naturally to all alcohol addicts. On the one hand you desire to quit alcohol consumption and on the other hand you are scared of giving it up. You might be afraid of failure. "What if I relapse again? My dreams will be dashed. It would be greatly demoralizing. I'd be depressed more than ever before." These issues are faced by every addict attempting to give up drinking. You may also deny your disease is chronic, incurable and progressive. Then there's one part in you that wishes to drink permanently. A voice in you may also say that you're ruined for ever to this life of drinking. This voice may urge you to take a peg right now. This self-denying pessimistic stance may impel you to continue drinking since it's impossible for you to quit it permanently.
  
  The 'Voice' and You:
  However you need to try to distinguish between 'that voice' and you, that is, your own real person. 'That voice' doesn't care anything about you, your values, wellbeing, dreams and aspirations for a good, healthy and happy life. Make a decision to fight that voice and you are sure quit drinking alcohol once for all.
  
  Support Groups- Alcoholics Anonymous:
  If self-help does not succeed, you'll find so many other resources to assist you about how to quit drinking alcohol. One such well-known resource is Alcoholics Anonymous-AA-- that arranges meetings all over the world for those who want to stop drinking alcohol. This group is comprised mainly of those persons who've been alcohol addicts. tips to stop drinking
