Taking a break from drinking can be as simple as unlearning a conditioned and ingrained behavior and approached and addressed without shame, blame or labels. 
 
In fact, the social learning model suggests that drug and alcohol use are learned behaviors and that such behaviors persist because of reinforcement from others, your environment, your thoughts and feelings, and from the direct consequences of drug or alcohol use.
 
If you’re struggling to break the habit of drinking you are not required to describe yourself as an “alcoholic”, join a 12-Step program or attend AA meetings. Alcoholics Anonymous programs are one approach to stopping drinking, but not the only one.
