The daily meetings are going well, usually with one or two men checking in. For some of them, it’s the first time they’ve felt able to talk about their drinking problem. I’d like to think that all the men who’ve come to the meeting have got plenty out of it. Maybe it’s time you came to a meeting? You can be sure of a supportive, non-judgmental response. The meetings are, of course, free – and always will be.

If you’re a man with a drinking problem and you’d like to be abstinent, you should check out my initiative Men Stop Drinking.

There are many routes from problem drinking to sobriety. The fastest and most effective option – the option I used myself – is disulfiram (Antabuse), a drug licensed by the FDA in 1951 (75 years ago). Paul Elam and I recently co-wrote a short book, ANTABUSE: The one-stage program for alcohol abstinence.

I host Zoom video meetings daily (Monday – Saturday) for men with drinking problems. They start at 7:00pm (19:00) GMT/UTC and last at least an hour. Details of the philosophy behind the meetings, and guidelines for them, can be found here. You can join the meetings by clicking here.

The meeting time has been chosen to give convenient access to men living in the UK and other European countries, and as far west as the Pacific coast of the United States.
