Another thing to try is a new hobby if you feel the urge to indulge. If you were used to having a drink while with certain friends, you need to change friends. Stay away from the others who encouraged you to drink with them.

If I were addicted to alcohol, one of the things I'd do is something physical in hopes of killing the desire to drink. Physical activity often can help people overcome various addictions.

I understand the concept of replacing bad with the good. I don't understand how you would do that though. If you are giving up alcohol what would you replace it with that is positive?
That is a very good question Alyson. Maybe Bob can enlighten us on what the psychologist did to his patients.
I think that alcohol could be substituted with coffee or softdrinks just to satisfy the cravings of the body. I presume that it is not easy to substitute an addiction with another thing though.

If you try to quit the addiction without a positive, replacement behavior you won't be as successful as you desire.

That is a good step in the right direction depending on what habit you are trying to replace. For other addictions more support is needed. Drug and alcohol addiction for example I do not think could be beat by just replacing the habit.
