Alcoholic says: How can I make sure I can't buy anymore alcohol??


Question:
AA blah blah blah I need suggestions like getting rid of my I.D. or anything that will make it not possible for me to go buy alcohol even if I want to.

Answers:
I agree with "AA blah blah blah", actually I'd go further, I have a real hate for the program.

If you're a liquor drinker, ask them at your local package store not to sell to you. They're actually pretty good about it in my experience. If you're a beer or wine drinker, you're going to have to find your will power, it's everywhere.

How about reading "Rational Recovery" by Jack Trimpey? I found it at my local library. Or visit: http://www.rational.org/ Many swear by them.

I got involved with non-AA recovery Yahoo groups, primarily SOS: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/sossaveourselves/
and anti-AA groups:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/without_aa/
and
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/12-step-free/

Gave me something to do in all the time I freed up from drinking.

Something else I used to do, as soon as I got home, I put pj's on. When I got the urge to go to the store at night (when most of my urges were), it seemed like such a hassle to get dressed, etc.
tattoo on your hand "do not sell alcohol to me) and keep an ID on you that says "do not sell alcohol to me"...make your DL very difficult to access...go to a hynotherapist.
