2. Go for a few months and do the steps. I handed any control over

alcohol I thought I had to a higher power and that really clicked for me. Have not had any alcohol since. I do on occasion have a non alcohol beer. I have no desire for the real thing. I admitted I had no control and never will. It is no longer within me to drink. And I don't covet real alcohol when I am with people who have a drink. My higher power is ancestors and nature. That works for me. 12 steps really worked for me and took my quit to the next level. I would go and see if it works for you. And it does not have to be every step. It might even be some advice you get from another member. You only need to find one thing that really sticks to give you a strong quit. If you find more than twelve things that is even better.
