Cut it off completely I used The Easy Way by Dr. Allen Carr and prayer. It depends on each individual how they want to leave it. I weaned myself after the Holidays. I was completely ready to cut it off in February. With lots of willpower, prayer and faith I am now alcohol free. I tried before , quitting cold turkey, but never worked. Because it made me feel deprived and depressed. I do not think of drinking or ever I want to pick one up. I love my life and I thank God he gave me the willpower strength and signs that it was time to quit. As I read some of the stories they are still in the alcohol trap. The trap I was in. I feel for them but only they can get themselves out. Thank you replying and helping out.
