Alcohol

[magnus-smith]

I am not alcoholic. I do drink on occasion, mainly beer but sometimes whisky and vodka, and I want to know how to stop.

Thanks, Magnus

Go dump it all in the drain. Avoid bad influences, if you have friends who drink and pressure you into it, you might want to find new friends.

I would get rid of all of it and try to stop it is not good for you.

A little isn't bad.

[Richee]

Yea that is true as long as you don't take to much.

[Amazerful]

I do the same thing and I honestly dont see a problem with it

Just get rid of it all and don't get it again. Do things that are good substitutes to drinking like hanging out with friends or Xbox or anything recreational that isn't negative.

Avoid the triggers that cause you to drink. If it's friends/family, avoid them. If it's stress, try talking to someone, that way you can help relieve it. And if it's boredom, get involved with school, friends, church, Xbox, whatever you can, to the point where you don't even have time to drink!

You don't have to search for new friends. If you want to stop drinking they need to support you. So tell your friends and family, and let them help you.

You can also find other motivators like sport.

This is a strange thread. You just said you are not an alcoholic and only occasionally drink, but you're asking how to stop!

If you actually do not have an addiction to alcohol, then the way to stop is to simply do just that: stop. Refuse drinks at parties, stop obtaining it, stop consuming it. It shouldn't even be that hard if you have a good, motivated reason to stop.

Are you sure this is the whole story?
