Tips & Warnings
You should prove your determination by learning to say “ no ” to alcohol. If you have friends which are non-drinkers, hang about with them. If you fail to stop yourself and break the rule, do not worry. Start from the beginning.
I have to add that if any one has to put that much thought into being alcohol free, they have a high probability of being an alcoholic. Therefore, they should not stop drinking unless under the care of a doctor. Alcoholics die every year trying to quit cold turkey. They die because of withdrawal. Alcohol, like any addictive drug, should be stopped very slowly. The body of an addict has to adjust to not having the drug. If this is done too fast and not under a doctor care the addicts body will go into shock/withdrawal and this is life threatening. Be careful.
Just a couple of tips to help you through to the first steps of becoming clean and dry.
