Cut down gradually

Going cold turkey on your drinking habits is a way to cut back but if you’re a bit too deep with dependency, then it is better to take small pauses. Try experimenting with the frequency, amount, or strength of alcohol.

Zero-alcohol drinks

This is another smart way to trick your system into thinking that you are drinking. You can start by replacing some of your drinks with zero-alcohol drinks and then go on to replacing all of them.

Help the mind to heal the head

Most problems start with the mind first. Therefore, try targeting the most powerful tool of your body and have a psychological approach in your search for answers.

Medication

If trying the other ways proved to be ineffective, medicinal help must be your last resort. Some medicinal intakes induce a feeling of nausea and vomiting if alcohol is consumed. This hinders your drinking to a great extent.

Self-help groups

Self-help groups offer a network and a safe place to let it all out. Dishing thoughts helps clear the mind and might just nudge it towards sobriety. It all depends on what kind of healing process you want to pursue.
