Alcoholic says: How can I make sure I can't buy anymore alcohol??

Issue
AA blah blah blah I need suggestions like getting rid of my I.D. or anything that will make it not possible for me to go buy alcohol even if I want to.

Best Tip

I agree with "AA blah blah blah", actually I'd go further, I have a real hate for the program.

If you're a liquor drinker, ask them at your local package store not to sell to you. They're actually pretty good about it in my experience. If you're a beer or wine drinker, you're going to have to find your will power, it's everywhere.

How about reading "Rational Recovery" by Jack Trimpey? I found it at my local library. Or visit: http://www.rational.org/ Many swear by them.

I got involved with non-AA recovery Yahoo groups, primarily SOS: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/sos...
and anti-AA groups:

and

Gave me something to do in all the time I freed up from drinking.

Something else I used to do, as soon as I got home, I put pj's on. When I got the urge to go to the store at night (when most of my urges were), it seemed like such a hassle to get dressed, etc.

tattoo on your hand "do not sell alcohol to me) and keep an ID on you that says "do not sell alcohol to me"...make your DL very difficult to access...go to a hynotherapist.
Hmmm....ok just spend it all on weed and coke or meth!!! u choose...im waiting...fine just get a transexuall hooker.lol
Weak minded,huh?R u for real?Unbeleivable.
Just give away all your money to anyone who is not selling alcohol.
If your that tempted then it seems maybe you arent just ready to quit yet.
If you dont want it ...you wont want it.
But I suppose you could make it more difficult to procure by hiding your ID pulling your plugs out of your car/truck. that way when you want to go to the store you have to hunt for the ID then the spark plugs then you have to put them in connect the wires then you could hide the keys too.

Id reccomend doing this once you are home and setteled in for the night WITHOUT alcohol.Make sure youve got your food smokes whatever for the night then hide away all your stuff. So it makes going out a pain in the as*.
AA Blah Blah Blah....
Well, you can get rid of your ID, but some where some how , if you want to buy it you will...end of story.

You have to NOT WANT to buy it period....thats it...no tricks no games, no babysitters....it's called strength....Recovering Alcoholics use it everyday....they also use the fellowship of AA when they cannot do it alone...that is the point of AA.
