Quick answer: Pick a few alcohol-free days each week, keep track of them, and plan what you will do instead at the times you usually drink.
Choose your alcohol-free days
Start with days that are already quiet. Early wins make the harder days easier.
Plan a replacement
- A favourite alcohol-free drink
- A walk at your usual drinking time
- Someone to message when it gets hard
Track your progress
Seeing a run of alcohol-free days builds momentum.
A note on safety: if you drink heavily or every day, stopping suddenly can cause dangerous withdrawal. Talk to a doctor before you stop. ZeroDrunk is a self-help app, not medical treatment. If you need support, find a free, confidential helpline at findahelpline.com.
