Beside many support group and recovery centers it is a good thing to analyze our own behavior and understand why we do things that we do. Drinking is one example of something that can be avoided if we train ourselves differently. First let us check why? What we do not have, want to have, what kind of pain, void, frustration, or issue we cover with the glass of alcohol. We can recognize why it is easy to say "yes" to a drink, instead going to have a run or read a book, for example. Most of the time people who loves us can say how we can be ugly when we are drunk. Let us start practicing saying "No" to a second drink. If we practice frequently we will start liking that new power. Power of "No".
