[QUOTE="BP338, post: 279721, member: 415"] First you have to admit that you have a problem. Be honest with yourself. After that, it's a simple (:::) process of finding out what triggers you to drink (pool, the bar, a fight with the ol' lady...) and replacing them with something else. The key here is to find something that can be rewarding so that you rewire your brain to be satisfied even if you don't have a drink. Old habit; Trigger+Stimulus/Routine=Reward. New habit; Trigger+New Stimulus/Routine=Reward It may take a few tries to find a new stimulus/routine to replace your drinks. It is advised to keep a log of "triggers" and "try's" until you find out what gives your brain the correct reward to be able to avoid drinking. For some, quitting is done cold turkey, easy-peasy. For most, it's a process... [/QUOTE]
