- peakaboo 5y agoYou should teach others how you did it. Alcohol (in big amounts) is the worst drug people can take. Much worse than cannabis and such.
- pksebben 5y agomy ten years behind the bar backs this up completely.

- leed25d 5y agoIt took me three tries separated by years beginning in my late thirties. It is not an easy thing to do and I am not sure that it can be taught. That being said, I will tell you what I did. I started going to AA meetings. I went to 90 meetings in 90 days and I did my best to follow their advice. After two years or so of (at least) weekly meetings I cut back to more or less one meeting per month. Nowadays I only go to meetings if there is some kind of triggering event in my life. I hope this helps.
