Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your struggles. I can understand how challenging it must be for you to try to quit alcohol, especially when facing the difficulties and temptations that come with it.

Firstly, I want to commend you for taking the courageous step of seeking help and starting medication to support your journey towards sobriety. It's important to acknowledge that overcoming addiction is a process that takes time and persistence, and it's okay to ask for support along the way.

While medication can be a helpful tool in managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, it's also essential to address the underlying factors contributing to your alcohol use. Counselling or therapy can provide you with the necessary support, guidance, and coping strategies to navigate this process successfully.

In addition to medication and therapy, here are some suggestions that may further support your efforts to quit alcohol:

Establish a Support System: Surround yourself with understanding and supportive individuals who can encourage and motivate you on your journey. This could include friends those who don't drink, family members, support groups, or a counsellor.

Identify Triggers: Take some time to reflect on the situations, emotions, or people that may trigger your urge to drink. Once identified, work on developing healthy coping mechanisms to manage these triggers effectively.

Engage in Healthy Activities: Find alternative ways to occupy your time and distract yourself from thoughts of alcohol. Engage in activities that bring you joy, such as exercise- yoga, walking, hobbies, spending time in nature, or pursuing creative outlets.

Practice Self-Care: Prioritize self-care activities that promote your overall well-being, such as getting enough sleep, eating nutritious meals, practising relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation), and engaging in activities that reduce stress.

Set Realistic Goals: Break down your goal of quitting alcohol into smaller, manageable steps. Celebrate your successes along the way, no matter how small, and be gentle with yourself if you experience setbacks.

Incorporate Daily Routine: Establishing a daily routine can provide structure and stability to your life. Set aside time each day for activities such as yoga, pranayama, and meditation, which can help reduce stress and promote mindfulness.

Remember, recovery is a journey, and it's okay to seek help and support along the way. You've already taken the first step by reaching out for assistance, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

If you'd like to discuss further or explore additional resources, please feel free to reach out. You're not alone in this, and together, we can work towards a healthier and happier future.

Keep up the great work, Manoj! Your commitment to overcoming challenges and improving your well-being is truly inspiring. Remember, each step you take towards sobriety is a testament to your strength and resilience.

Take care and stay strong,
