Earlier I used to deny this problem but now i want to give it up.
Is there any medicines that can help to give it up. I have a great wwill power and have given it up in stretches of 6-8 months for 3-4 times in the past
Also is there ssome course of 10 - 15 days that I can attend for detox

Thanks
Aks

Answer
Dear Akhil

Alcoholics Anonymous is a good way to quit drinking. They are a group of recovering alcoholics who have a program they follow to stop drinking. Also, most hospitals have rehabilitation programs for people with addiction issues. Good luck.
