If you are simply drinking a

bit too much, there are some
simple strategies that you
can use to cut down.

Take the First Positive

Step
List your reasons for quitting
or cutting down on paper.
Perhaps you want to avoid
negative health
consequences, improve your
sleep, lose weight, or
increase your fitness. Or you
may wish to cut back or quit
 because your drinking upsets
someone you care about.
Record all your reasons and
look at your list regularly.

Keep a Journal
Set a goal for yourself and

how to reduce completely or to cut back to
drinking alcoholic a reasonable level. After
beverages setting this goal, keep a
record of your drinking. This
can be done by writing down
the number of drinks
consumed each day on a
calendar or day planner. This
will enable you to review
your progress toward
achieving your goal.

Clean out the Alcohol

Cabinet
If you are trying to quit
drinking, don’t keep alcohol
in the house. If you are
trying to cut back, measure
amounts to ensure that you
do not go beyond the
recommended daily limit.
Establish a Support
Network
Ask close friends and family
to support you in reaching
your goal. If you are having
serious trouble, speak to
 your doctor and/or join a
support group.
Slow Down
If you are still drinking,
savor your beverages and
take a break between drinks.
Alternate between alcoholic
beverages and glasses of
water, juice, tea, coffee,
soda, or nonalcoholic beer.
Also, do not drink when you
are thirsty or hungry as you
will be inclined to consume

consumption Take a Break
Choose at least one day a
week to refrain from
drinking. Once you have
achieved this, try stopping
for two days each week, then
a full week. Record the way
you feel emotionally and
physically when you are not
drinking. You will probably
find that you feel better
overall.
Avoid Temptation
If you suffer a lapse, think
about what triggered it.
Lapses provide important
information about the
situations that cause you to
drink. You can use this
information to prevent future
lapses by avoiding that
particular type of situation.
What places, people, or
feelings cause you to drink?
Avoid these temptations or
provocations if possible in
the future. Feelings can’t be
avoided, but you can use
different coping strategies
such as exercising, reading,
watching a good movie,
listening to music, doing
housework, or taking a bath.
Just Say “No”
Be assertive when people
pressure you to drink, and
avoid those who harass or
belittle you for not drinking.
Distract Yourself
Use games, sports, movies,
arts and crafts, and anything
else that you enjoy to
distract yourself when you
get the urge to drink.
Get Physical
If you feel edgy or anxious,
throw your surplus energy
into exercise. Hit the gym,
take a walk with friends or
take up a sport you’ve
always wanted to try.
Keep Track of Your
Savings
If, for example, you went
through an average of $20
worth of alcohol each night,
keep a record of this. At the
end of the month, see what
you’ve saved.
Reward Yourself
Mark your achievements by
engaging in activities you
enjoy or buying yourself
something nice
