Crossing the Barriers to Staying Sober.
July 10, 2008
Well at last you have decided to stop drinking. There is no chance at all that you can stop drinking, Yes! You have no chance to stop drinking, but do know it best, that you have a better chance to do it. Yes! You can make it. You can make something better against all the incredible frustrations and insults that alcohol had made you to face. Sell all those bottles and go straight to the One Dollar Shop and get a pair of Coffee mugs. They look pretty desirable than those alcohol tins.
Take a break, away from home on a vacation for a day or two. Recollect the moment you were fired by your boss for not completing an important project; he blocked your salary hike because of that, you were drunk and mesmerized in a different world when you had to complete that project. You lost your promotion, a salary hike a loss this year!
You may be sacked for nonperformance by your employer. You may develop a low self-esteem. The credit bureau may be behind you. You may loose all your valid social proof to get a personal loan, car loan, home loan. Can you imagine living without money or without a source of income, hungry stomach! Gosh! You better don’t be tempted.
Create your own tricks and plans to stop drinking. Work out a simple plan, compensate the time you have been drinking with some hobbies, help your wife out in the kitchen during those hours. Do some basic mechanic jobs in your household or in your office, organize your book shelf. Help your kids with their lessons. Go research for the right hobby that suits you. There are many heavenly and easy activities in the world other than spending your time drinking. You will realize what you have wasted in life and you would have become productive. Go crazy about researching on how to make a billion dollars in 120 days. See there are many things to do rather than killing yourself.
Seek professional help. Contact your physician for any medication that will help a relaxed stop drinking alcohol cycle. This indeed can help you be serious and strong willed to stop drinking alcohol immediately. Professional help is the best possible way out. You doctor will be experienced to analyze exactly about your motives to stop drinking. Chronic drinkers may experience withdrawal symptoms, which does require a professional help.
Focus on a goal and keep with it. Frustration can occur when set backs are encountered. Take courage and know that strength come from getting backup on ones feet. Keeping a positive outlook and a strong determination is a true goal. Pull strength from that fact that not only is this change good for you, but for all those who love you. Seeking a specialist can be a great boost if you find your dropping off the wagon.
Avoid friends who make fun over your idea of quitting alcohol. Throw them away for a while until you are done with your goal. Create an environment of people who have succeeded in quitting alcohol. List out on a clearly visible area the little accomplishments at home, at office, in health, in romance that you come across after stopping alcohol you will be encouraged by the way things have changed. This practice, your sentiments, your strong will, your doctor, your community together will help you recover soon.
