If you're thinking of stopping drinking, there are a number of
good reasons to do so. Make your own list too as it will help you
through difficult patches when you need to resist the temptation to
drink.
If you are a heavy drinker (regularly drinking more than the Government-recommended limits), talk to your GP about stopping drinking. They'll be able to advise you on how to stop drinking safely and let you know of any support that's available. In some cases you may be advised to undertake a supervised alcohol detox or to undergo another type of alcohol treatment. These treatments are available in alcohol rehab centres and at home but you should discuss them with a doctor or an addiction professional.
