With a look at the personality types, it is no surprise that alcoholics can not just put down their drink and quit. It is not just something they do, it is how they live their daily lives and it is nearly impossible to quit doing on their own.
An alcoholic must make personality adjustments in order to be able to stop drinking and that takes a lot of hard work. It is not recommended that an alcoholic who has been drinking for several months or years try to quit on his own; an alcoholic in this situation needs professional help in order to succeed. It can not be done at home with a couple of friends and this method is definitely not recommended.
