in your opinion what is the best way to stop drinking?

I have found myself drinking more and more since I realized that the truth was a lie just to quiet my mind. It's not like I am a drunk or anything, it hasn't affected my work or relationships, it is that I really don't like being a slave to anyone or anything including delicious beer. mmmm beer...

So to avoid being a slave to a habit, I have determined to stop drinking. I have a plan but wanted to see if any of you had experiences in being successful.

Here are the questions

Do you drink too much? Or did you in the past?

What are some effective methods of kicking the habit? Don't say meetings and service.

Thanks

A certain percentage of drinkers are dehydrated and the strength of the URGE is just that.

What stopped me from imbibing too often was to force myself to immediately drink a quart of water.

The URGE completely vanished and it was no longer an issue.

I realize there is, for some, a psychological element. But, don't overlook the physical aspect first.

Worth a try.

P.S. I never have problem with drinking. I rarely drink.

Honestly, the best way is to change your life by exercise / dieting / eating healthy. The best way to exercise is to find something that you love to do and focus in on that.

When I left 'the lie' my life completely transformed. I quit drinking, not because I had a problem, but because I found it slowed me down and I did not need to dull the pain every weekend. I drink maybe twice a year, and honestly, I don't like it at all. It makes me feel awful the next day, even after one or two drinks.

If you think that you have a problem, please do have the courage to reach out for help.

Wishing you the best. :)
