RESOURCES
Your road to recovery starts with the following:
1 - you first need to want to stop
2 - you admit there's a problem
3- you take responsibility for your recovery
4 - you ask for and accept the help
Below are links to various sites and organisation that can help you on your recovery journey. Build your recovery tool box, try a few different techniques and orgainisations and use what works for best for you. Stay strong.
AA - Alcoholics Anonymous
Millions of men and women have heard or read about the unique Fellowship called Alcoholics Anonymous since its founding in 1935. Of these, more than 2 million now call themselves members. People who once drank to excess, they finally acknowledged that they could not handle alcohol, and now live a new way of life without it.
NA - Narcotics Anonymous
Narcotics Anonymous is a community of people who support each other to achieve and maintain a drug free life. The only requirement for participation in NA is a desire to stop using drugs. NA is not allied with any religion, institution or other organisation. NA exists solely so that its members can support each other to stay drug free and to help others achieve and maintain a drug free recovery and lifestyle. NA is free.
Drink Aware
Drinkaware provides independent alcohol advice, information and tools to help people make better choices about their drinking. We can help you learn about the impact of alcohol on you, your family or friends. Here we'll support you with the advice and information you need.
Sinclair method
The Sinclair Method (TSM) uses the nervous system’s own mechanism, called “extinction”, for gradually removing the interest in alcohol and the behaviours involved in alcohol drinking. Therefore, the technical term for TSM is “pharmacological extinction.”
