How would you go about quitting without any outside help? Is there any book, ressource, or method available that would enable someone to quit drinking without seeking professional help ? Some people have a high profile and do not want to risk public defeat for seeking help (even if that would help them). What methods available to quit by yourself ?
You have to just leave using drugs if you want to quit it on yourself. It doesnot matter if you read tons of books or take any kind of tool to do it. Unless you dont have self-confidence you cannot stop your drug addiction
Quitting alcohol on your own, particularly if one has used large amonts for a long time, is potentially fatal unless treated medically, i.e., with a benzodiazapene to avoid potentially FATAL seizures.
What you should do it start to love your self . Look at your body and see what you have done to it . Love your self is the first thing that you should do .
I think the will power is very important in it if you want to quit it yourself without any outside help. Another important thing is that you should be able to admit yourself that you are addict.
If you want to quit yourself then you have to be mentally prepared to deall with the recovery effects. You should read about the recovery process and all th problems associated with it.
I agree with STEVE... Quitting on your own if you are drinking a large amount can be fatal - you will go through withdrawals, may become dehydrated, and other medical things can go wrong. If you are ready to stop drinking, you need to go somewhere that offers detox. They will watch over you and give you meds to help you quit successfully and possibly refer you to IOP (intensive outpatient program) - groups to talk about triggers. You will be able to learn coping skills to get better -
