I'm tired and hungover from drinking last night. I think I should quit drinking as it seems to be affecting my life. What are some ways I can get started on a journey toward sobriety?

Seeking sobriety is a notable endeavor and one that need not be tough or complicated as long as you know what to do and how to go about doing it. Here are some ways you can get started on a journey to sobriety:

1. Acknowledge that you have a problem, and proceed from there. This includes knowing who you are when you are sober and who you become when you are under the influence of alcohol. Be honest with yourself about how alcohol affects your life and what causes you to drink to the point of being hungover. You will find out a lot about yourself if you take the time to take an inventory of yourself.
2. Find a support group or sponsor. You can go to an organization such as Alcoholics Anonymous, or you can even decide to form a group of like-minded people who are also on the journey to sobriety. Participate in activities that can replace drinking, such as hiking, watching a movie, or going to a nice restaurant.
3. Consult with a physician or other specialist who can monitor your health while you embark on your journey. A doctor can ensure you are staying healthy during sobriety, and they can also detect any issues with your physical health (i.e., quitting alcohol "cold turkey" or abruptly after drinking for extended periods can also cause problems such as withdrawals and delirium tremens). Psychologists or addiction counselors can provide much-needed insight into the way you think while you are on alcohol and can unlock your potential to eventually quit alcohol for good.
4. Drink more water. Drinking water can fill your stomach and make you feel full; it can also prevent hangovers if you decide to drink alcohol the night before. If you drink an alcoholic drink, drink it with ice to water it down, or have a glass of water after every drink to dilute the alcohol in your system and lessen the effects of a hangover the next day. If you choose to slowly cut down your alcohol intake rather than quitting entirely, drinking water and slowing down how much you drink will help you.
