Let's Manage Our Drinking
Four-Step Program: Drinking
Four-Step Program to Master Drinking Habits
If we learn how to manage our drinking then we can choose what we drink, when we drink, and crucially how much we drink.
Note: Self-Care is not therapy!
The Self-Care resources provided on this website are designed to be safe, as simple as possible to use, and are generalised. By definition these Self-Care or Self-Help resources cannot be made therapeutic as there is no possible assessment of individual needs and no personalisation of the resource content. Self-Care from this website is intended to be educational in the sense that the theory and content of the Self-Care resources is described, how they may be able to help is described, and how to get the best out of the approach now and into the future is also provided.
If you have, or need, the support of a health-care professional then ask them about the appropriateness of using Self-Care to support the treatment that they have prescribed.

Daily support
When you feel Temptation
It is no good trying to argue or reason with your own automatic temptations, urges, or cravings.
Think 'No Temptation!' without specifying what the individual temptations are. You must be forceful. Keep repeating 'No Temptation!' again and again ten times in a row, within your mind or out loud. If you are on your own, shake your fists or stamp your feet as you to make your feedback to your Automatic Mind as clear and unmistakable as you can.
Additional Support
We all can benefit from additional support from time to time, especially when we are making a significant change. The following resources offer insights, tips, advice, and alternatives to help your on your way.
