    Got yourself to something like AA. Find a healthy outlet for your stress. Meetings, therapy, exercise.

    I'm from a family of alcoholics. You won't quit until you're ready. Why do you want to stop?

    I have trouble with staying away from things I bring in the house whether that be chips, alcohol or tobacco. I just can't bring it home. Don't buy it.

    Learn to love exercising..find yourself a good gym, start lifting. Eat right...good stress relief. Drinking isn't a good stress relief as much as you'd like to believe it is..whatever was bothering you before always bites you in the *kitten* the next day. At least exercising helps you tackle your problems..
