Summarize the following:
Alcohol abuse often occurs alongside another issue. You may have concurrent depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns requiring additional professional treatment such as counselling or psychotherapy.  These additional resources will help you deal with the underlying psychological and emotional problems that may have lead to the very real physiological problem you now have. Treating the underlying issue will help prevent relapse. You may require a period of inpatient treatment if your alcoholism or withdrawal is putting your immediate health and safety at risk. Twelve step programs are also available in residential treatment facility and hospital settings. Stick to whatever medical routine your doctor orders. You may be put on Antabuse to making drinking alcohol seem repulsive to you, for example. Spiritual help often plays a role in recovery as many people find that getting in touch with their spiritual side strengthens their resolve. Teens with higher religious service attendance are more likely to abstain from substance abuse. You will likely find that many of your social activities and hobbies involve your addiction, such as drinking at a pool hall. You will need to find other social outings and places to go to that don’t involve your addiction in order to reduce temptation and the association between your addiction and having fun.  Go to different places that don’t serve alcohol, such as coffee shops, or invite your friends to play paintball instead of shooting pool at the pub.  Ask friends to help you by not drinking around you. Go to a park to socialize instead of a bar. Say "No" clearly and directly if someone offers you a drink. You can say, "No, thank you" or you can go into more detail, such as "I'm not drinking because my doctor said to. I'd appreciate it if you could help me out by not asking me to have a drink." You may need to distance yourself from friends and social activities that hinder your recovery.  Addiction is a very socially debilitating ailment. You will most likely find yourself feeling very uncomfortable in social situations during early sobriety. This is quite normal. An enormous part of the healing process is regaining the ability to create, maintain, and enhance healthy relationships  This may be daunting at first, but will become less so with each healthy relationship you form and foster. Continuing with healthy support networks is one of the key factors found in making your journey through the twelve step program a success.  Teens with strong social support networks are more likely to abstain from substance abuse. Support for family members is available through various programs such as Al-Anon and Alateen. Having your family members in a support group will help them to help you, by educating them on your illness and offering them ways of coping while you are in recovery. If you have a family member who abuses alcohol, get them into a support and treatment program as well to increase the chances of both of you recovering. Reduce any temptation that lingers in the house or at work. Don't keep alcohol at home, even if you don't drink any more. Don't even keep cooking wine around. Remove barware, corkscrews, pub glasses -- anything that would remind you of drinking.

Summary:
Get additional help. Examine your hobbies and social activities. Examine your friendships. Get your family into a support group. Clean out your home.
