Steps to Take to Remove Alcohol From Your Life

 

•  Instead of thinking of alcohol after your work day, concentrate on preparing a healthy meal for that evening. This will not only sate your cravings for alcohol, but will place the concentration on food instead, which will allow you to begin to associate the cravings with nutrition, rather than alcohol intake.
  
• When going out to social events, explore non-alcoholic drinks. Interesting and sweet drinks will take sate the cravings for experimenting with different forms of alcoholic drinks.
  
• Find a hobby that can be engaged-in quickly, whenever cravings come about. Playing guitar, or other instruments, will give you something to go to and distract yourself from alcohol cravings that you might end up having. This helps get through those short periods of cravings, as well as stronger and longer-lasting alcohol cravings.
  
• Routines and schedules are your friends. Plan out your day into a routine or a schedule to ensure that there are no "empty" periods of your day that you might rather fill with alcohol.
  
• Engage in social interaction. People, and the conversations you have with them, can be a great distraction from the allure of alcohol.
