Can an alcoholic quit cold turkey?

Answer 1

Usually not. There are so many places out there where you can get help, however. Addiction is addiction, and once you start, you're hooked. I applaud you for trying to get rid of this bad habit. Good job! check out these sites and get some help. But first, throw out all the alcohol. :) http://www.allaboutlifechallenges.org/alcohol-addiction.htm http://www.thecyn.com/treatment.asp?kmas=1&kmca=Canyon-CA%20Only&kmag=Alcohol-Help&kmkw=alcohol-addiction&gclid=CKjtx9OYv48CFQlxOAodx2ctew http://www.drugfree.org/Portal/drug_guide/Alcohol Post a message on my board!
