If you don't need to detox then it's a one day at a time thing. If you can't do one day then start with one hour.
You can find a therapist who specializes in addiction recovery to help keep you accountable. You can go to an AA meeting. Find a group of friends who don't drink and do things with them.
Actively remember life and having fun before you drank. For me that was high school.
Throw out all of your booze and don't buy any. If you like beer buy non-alcoholic beer. That will short circuit the pleasure response circuit that is responding to the alcohol. So you will find after your first NA beer that the pleasurable feeling doesn't hit so your body learns that the beer isn't the thing anymore.
I am 3 months sober and it really took two weeks to settle in, the first day was the hardest.
- spcebar 4y agoCongratulations on your three months! Keep it up! These are great tips. I'll add 1. Put any friendships that revolve around drinking on hold and 2. Find healthy natural highs--taking a bad habit out of your life is an excellent opportunity to find healthy things you enjoy doing to fill that void.
