One of Loving An Alcoholic’s missions is to provide our readers resources to help cope with the disease of addiction, whether it is the alcoholic/addict or the family member/loved one of the alcoholic/addict.

A new site, The Recovery Self Help Project, was recently brought to my attention by a reader of Loving An Alcoholic. The site has a wiki-style format and looks like it will develop into a great resource for those looking for information on alcoholism, addiction and the recovery process.
I’d encourage you to bookmark the site and check in from time to time as new articles are published monthly.

Excerpts from The Recovery Self Help Project main page and the article How to Stop Drinking:

Self Help Project main page:

Welcome to the Recovery Self Help Project

The project was launched in early 2009 to provide information for people seeking to understand alcohol abuse and begin the recovery process. Our goal is to add reviewed and approved articles at the rate of one a month.

Articles that are listed as completed have been edited by professional writers and editors and authored or reviewed by experts in the field of recovery education.

Articles that are listed as unfinished have not been reviewed or approved by the project’s editorial team.

How to Stop Drinking

This article, from the Recovery Self-Help Project, will help you find the best way to stop drinking. It reviews and compares various approaches to ending alcohol dependence and beginning an alcohol-free life.

Not every approach to stopping drinking works for everyone. Some people need their own unique approach (which may not be the most popular or well-known). And many studies have shown a combination of strategies is the most effective way to quit drinking. If you want to stop drinking, this article will help you decide which approach is right for you. We hope you’ll use what you learn here to take the next step to living free of alcohol problems.

As I will leave each post; If you, or someone you know, loves an alcoholic or addict, I would encourage you to find a local Al-Anon 12 step meeting to attend. This is your first step towards healing.

Stumble it!
