How to stop drinking alcohol?

First of all, it is very courageous of you to start thinking of quitting alcohol. Embark on the initial phase of healing by acknowledging the issue. Discover the crucial steps to overcome alcohol dependency and start a journey to sobriety.

How will this resolve remain constant? Seek help from friends and family. After taking family and friends on board, now comes the role of a counsellor, psychologist, or psychotherapist who will steer the ship of your new journey.

  1. Step 1: Positive Visualisation Ask yourself: What is your vision of a new life when you detox (quit alcohol)? Positive visualisation is an integral part of getting out of any problem. Have realistic goals that you want to achieve and that you want to receive as a reward for quitting alcohol.
  2. Step 2: Do not skip meals. When you eat 3–4 healthy meals per day, it will reduce your desire to have alcohol as your stomach will be full of food. As advised by India’s best de-addiction centre, if you skip meals, you will give way to more problems.
  3. Step 3: Forgive yourself if there are any “slips.” By slips, we refer to how we go back to drinking after putting in so much effort. Do not be worried if you fall down because you have come a little far, so you begin again from the slipped point. Even if you have tried a hundred times, keep going because you are a very inspiring story in the making. Rehab treatment is to avoid another slip; make sure you are tapering off your usage of alcohol and not quitting it altogether one fine day.
  4. Step 4: Empower yourself. Take charge and responsibility for your best recovery. When you take charge, you feel empowered. Then even alcohol looks very small in front of you. Believe that you are not powerless in front of alcohol. You are not a slave to alcohol.
  5. Step 5: Seek Help Here we talk about how a therapist will help you so that you can make the decision to seek help from a professional. Here in ABHASA, the professionals are like family members. That is what is actually required of someone who wants to quit alcohol. Luxury and the best care are provided for individuals wanting to overcome.
  6. Step 6: Exercise
  7. Step 7: Gratitude Be thankful for the Blessings you have.
