How can one stop wanting to drink Alcohol to feel better?

A change of environment can be a good way to distract yourself from wanting to drink alcohol. For example, when you feel the urge to drink alcohol, you could take a walk in a local park, go to the gym or call a friend to do an activity that doesn't involve drinking alcohol.

One can analyze the pros and cons of sobriety and intoxication as it pertains to life and reflect. Is this what you really want? Does this really help you feel better? Does the problem go away when you're sober?

It's a continual process to quit alcohol. Just make small promises to yourself like i will twice once a week. continue that for like 15 days. Then make that once a week, continue for another 15-20 days.Then maybe once in 15 days & so on. now this totally depends on your will to quit. i wish you good luck!!

Replace the negative behaviour of drinking alcohol with a more positive, productive, and distracting behaviour, like playing music, playing sport, playing video games, meeting with friends/family. You could even involve a friend/family member into your behaviour and have them encourage you to avoid alcohol and keep you accountable for your actions if you do go back. By doing this you could create a new habit that would benefit you in the long-term, unlike drinking alcohol. Also, if relapsing does occur, remember it is part of the recovery process and you can learn a lot from it in terms of what trigger situations to avoid in the future.

There are lots of things to consider here. First, take a moment to consider why you want to stop? Write this down somewhere that you can see it the next time you're tempted to drink. This will help you challenge the urge instead of merely thinking about how to do so. Secondly, think about who you're spending time with and where you're hanging out. Are these people and places healthy? If not, what can you do to change them? It's important for you to have a healthy support system in place to support your decision. Good luck with your sobriety. I know you can do this!
