My Journey of Overcoming Alcoholism….
I didn’t take medication or see a doctor. For me, it was more about breaking the habit and finding better ways to handle stress. But I know some people who found medication helpful, especially for strong cravings. If it gets too hard, professional help can be a good option. Is your relative trying to quit or just cut down?

I know exactly how that feels—I used to wake up telling myself I’d drink less, but by evening, stress made me reach for a glass anyway. What helped me was making small changes instead of forcing myself to quit overnight. At first, I just delayed my first drink—telling myself, “Not now, maybe later.” Most times, the craving passed. Some nights, I poured a non-alcoholic drink in the same glass just to trick my habit. It felt weird, but it worked. I also noticed that on days I ate junk food, I craved alcohol more. Eating better actually helped me control my drinking. The biggest shift? Catching myself before I poured a drink and asking, “Do I really want this, or is it just routine?” That small pause made a huge difference. You’re already trying to change your routine, and that’s a great start. Keep going—small wins add up
