Question by Ray: How do I quit drinking?
I’m a 36 year old male and have been drinking since my teens. I have always drank a lot but in the last year it has gotten crazy! I am ready to quit but my body is not. What is my best option to get sober? I’m an introvert so please don’t tell me to go to AA.

When I cut back I started by drinking non-alcohol beer during the day, and early in the evening before I had a few real beers before bed.

Don’t drink in pubs… You’ll drink faster and more than you will at home. Get a small amount and bring it home. Have dinner and a non-alcoholic beer before you start in on your evening tipple.

Only bring as much alcohol into the house as you want to drink in one day. Insted of a 12 pack, buy a 6 pack. Drink only light beer. A quart of light beer is equal to less than 3 cans and can last you for an hour and a half or so. Then I go to bed.

Take Lecithn and B-Complex vitamins during the day to keep alcohol from hurting you too much until you find a way to moderation or abstainance.
