How to combat alcoholism?

Question by Jack: How to combat alcoholism?
I think I am starting to become dependant on alcohol. I am able to recognize that I drink a little too much a little too often. I wouldn’t say I’m Leaving Las Vegas yet but I will sit at home and drink ten beers, two nights a week.

I’d like to start combating this. I often tell myself that “I’m not an alcoholic” … it sounds like such a horrible thing and I’m not really. I pay my bills, I’m a good citizen, hell I don’t even speed. I did have one DUI and haven’t driven after drinking since (I felt then and still do feel horrible about it… even though I really was just barely over the limit, the point is there…)

Anyway, I’d like to get some help but I refuse to go to AA. I have read their propaganda/literature and it’s just not for me.

Anyone been through something similar or have ideas?

I can very much relate to your point of view on this. I read a really really good article on it on the Yahoo! Health site.
