PART 2: HOW TO STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL
Remember: If you’ve ever had a seizure, hallucinations or severe confusion after stopping alcohol, do not attempt unsupported withdrawal. If in doubt, seek medical advice.
The WHO’s AUDIT-C tool is a clinically validated screening questionnaire to help you understand whether your drinking might be risky. You can take it online for free here: https://auditscreen.org/
A Safe, Manageable, Supported Approach
If Part 1 was about reducing drinking without falling apart, Part 2 is about stopping in a way that’s:
- medically safe
- emotionally manageable
- practically doable
- supported by a plan, not just motivation
Because the truth is most people don’t relapse because they don’t care. They relapse because they stop without a plan for what happens next.
Part 2 is the plan.
