DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR HEADSTEP ONE:
Despite what your head is telling you, you can and youwill get sober. The biggest obstacle in your way is
yourself. Good news: you don't have to listen.
DON'T QUIT COLD TURKEYSTEP TWO:
Detoxing from alcohol on your own is very dangerousand sometimes fatal. If you want to quit drinking, you
need to go to a detoxification facility or thehospital.
HospitalizationSome individuals find comfort in completinga hospital detoxification. This process looks similarto a medical detox at a treatment facility, exceptthat the patient's detoxification takes place in theconfinements of a hospital room. The only downsideto hospitalization is that treatment services are notprovided within the hospital, and the patient will haveto transition to a different facility should they wantto complete an inpatient treatment program.

TREAT MORE THAN JUST YOUR ALCOHOLISM
STEP THREE:
Remaining abstinent is a success, but this method willonly last for so long before the urge to drink
overwhelms. You need to treat your mind, body, andspirit, developing tools to cope with triggers
along the way.

suffering from alcoholism with the opportunity to spendquality time addressing not just their reliance on
