Well, first, you walk the wasteland of all your devastated relationships for a while. Then, LATER... hahah. Kidding. The secret is doing sudden, crazy things to distract you, I suppose. Society is AWESOME. I went to Egypt (that's where I've been modding from for the past 9 months). I went to all the sites, immersed myself in history, figuring that in a Muslim country I couldn't drink. Wrong. It's easy to get. So I went to the Sinai and did around 70 dives there. Finally quit drinking (after hitting bottom a few times).
One thing that helped me was metformin. It's a pill, an extract from the lilac flower. Reducing my dependence on the glucose produced by my liver was a godsend, at least for me.
Now I've lost all this weight, I'm back in Canada, and I'm doing "anything else" rather than drink. I'm going on a motorcycle trip to BC here tomorrow to see an old friend (who also "stole" my camper). I'm exercising and going to AA. You'd think AA would be a punishment but it's GLORIOUS. It really helps you not drink. The power of finding other people with similar problems...
Pls definitely watch Craig Ferguson's monologue about quitting. It's hilarious.

Well, first, you cut off sex. Completely. For, like, ever. THEN you walk the wasteland of all your devastated relationships for a while. Then, LATER... hahah. Kidding. The secret is neuroticism.
