how it works

stop...
the drinking cycle;
utilize any means; rehab, willpower, therapy, meetings, prayer or medication.
replace the thought of a drink with any diversion available.

drop...
the notion of moderation;
it is nearly impossible for an alky or addict to do so.
association with drinking or using buddies(friends will understand)
the attitude that you will never have "fun" again


recover...
physical health- better nutrition, deeper sleep, more energy
mental acuity - decision making, responsibility, accountability, memory
spirituality - a conscience, belief in a deeper power, release from fear and
selfishness
