Coaching program - mandatory to do

We assume that you have already informed yourself in the book, in the editorial section and especially in the forum - if not, we strongly recommend you to catch up, the program builds on this.

Above all, we also assume that you have talked to a doctor about whether you can do withdrawal on your own or if it is better to go to a clinic. If not, again the advice: make sure you get that done as well. Only a doctor who knows you can assess what will or will not work.

So far the absolutely necessary hints. Please take them seriously!

Please confirm*

I confirm: Before starting the 30-day program, I have consulted a qualified person (doctor, addiction counselor) about the possible risks of quitting alcohol on my own responsibility. This person has not expressed any concerns. I have help on site if this becomes necessary.

Understood and done!*

Make your home an alcohol-free zone! Saying goodbye to alcohol also means vigorously complimenting it out the door. Or rather, pour it down the sink.

Understood and done!*

Have you also removed the alcohol from all secret hiding places? Get rid of it. Dump them out or give them away. And no: They are not too bad and are saved "for later". You're only lying to yourself that way!

Understood!*

Avoid stressful situations, especially during the first four days. Plan this carefully!

Understood, pre-planned!*

Avoid recreational situations in which you usually drank alcohol. The bowling evening is just as taboo as the barbecue or the club visit in the evening. Please do not even try it.

OK, no party at my house for the next 30 days*

Do not have parties at home in the next 30 days. Even if one would come (unlikely) sober through the evening - the leftovers the morning after are then guaranteed a giant trap!

Understood!*

If you prefer to drink at home: Cheat your addiction memory! Change something: paint, move furniture, hang pictures in other places ...

Understood, planned!*

Avoid boredom. Make a list of activities you could do. Gardening, tidying up, cleaning, doing some kind of handy work ... a bike ride, but with a wide avoidance of all the places where you used to drink alcohol.

Understood, done!*

Make sure that everything is prepared for relaxation at home. Pick up some nice movies, books, music.

Understood!*

Make your partner your ally. This also means (perhaps for the first time ever) openly stating that you have a problem with alcohol. Ask your partner to abstain from alcohol at home until further notice. For your sake.

Will be done!*

Stuff the fridge - the liquor store is a high-powered magnet that they should get near as infrequently as possible. Don't give temptation a chance - stockpiling is the order of the day. Shop for what you really like. Be sure to take sweets, chocolate, ice cream, gummy bears - it doesn't matter. In the first few days, everything will be alcohol-free.

Done!*

Not only must there be enough food in the house, but also beverages. Make sure to have sparkling mineral water in the house. The reason: when the thought of alcohol gets too loud, a liter of water is a true miracle cure, no joke. But bubbly it must be.

Tank is full!*

Fill it up once, please. Even if alcohol should not be sold at gas stations in your country: The detour to the liqor store is usually not far. Don't take the risk that your addiction memory will take you back to the old ways.

Done!*

Go through your schedule. In the first time, you should avoid situations in which drinking classically takes place. However, if there are unavoidable appointments where drinking takes place, you need a clear strategy to get through the day/evening (see also the book „Bye bye, booze!").

Understood, will be done!*

Take a close look at your circle of friends. Real friends will encourage, praise and support you. Drinking buddies do just the opposite. Please sort them out - or at least keep them very far away, especially in the beginning.

Done!*

Take a selfie with your smart phone. Just for you. Do it again after 15 and 30 days and compare!

Note is written!*

Make notes - just for you - about why you don't want to drink anymore. Like, "I don't want to have a headache in the morning anymore" or "I finally want to sleep peacefully again" or whatever is most important to you. Take your time writing these notes. Think carefully and type everything into your cell phone. Of course, a good old piece of paper will also do, but please keep it with you at all times, for example in your wallet. Read through these many good reasons for not drinking any more whenever the desire for alcohol arises. If necessary, read them several times and, if you are alone, even out loud. Hearing the voice really helps the brain to absorb and process the whole thing even more intensively.

Understood!*

In case you want to use elements from Gaby's protocol: you still have to buy them.

Will be done!*

Hint for business travelers: Have the minibar cleared when you make your room reservation. So you come to your room and it is already empty.
