get your mind off boozing, have a lifestyle focused about using your body differently. -

I used to be AA material, but I managed to stop all on my own. I took all my gin and vodka and poured it all out into the sink. I then washed the bottles out and filled them with water, and whenever I felt like a drink I’d down a glass of water. It was miserable at first, but I kept it up and now I drink a ton of water every day because I like it so much and the difference it makes in my stress/weight is great. I can’t even smell vodka anymore without becoming violently sick.
Don’t know if it would work for your friend, though.

When she really wants to stop, she will know how to do it. Rehab is a good start.

your friend? or you?
you have to truly want help, and usually this means bottoming out. not fair for a new baby to have a parent who drinks to blackout. it’s also very dangerous. blackout stage also means loss of brain cells, and could possibly mean coma. i know, my husband was a blackout alcoholic. it’s a many sided attack, and if she cared enough about her baby to not drink while pregnant, than she possess the willpower to stop again, just because the baby’s outside her body is no excuse to start up. the baby needs the mother now more than ever. also i would imagine she runs the risk of having the baby taken away, blacking out=unfit mother. try everything, antabuse, (severe drug, cant even use deodorant, mouthwash anything that contains alcohol). naltrexone works also. AA helps too. but her answer lies within, and obviously she knows enough to not drink while pregnant. also yahoo answers is probably not the best place for answers. the dr. AA. that’s where you turn. a baby’s well being is at risk. really. -

I’m a recovered alcoholic in my 4th year of sobriety thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous, I did go into rehab where they practised the AA program, but if your friend cannot go into rehab (difficult with a new baby) then she can still do the program by going to AA meetings.
I go to around three AA meetings a week and they are very friendly and sociable places as well as life saving, I’ve met many women there in the same position as your friend who have managed to abstain during their pregnancy but gone straight back into their old habits soon after the baby is born, it’s quite common.
If you pass on my link to her it will tell her where there’s a meeting place near where she lives, I now work for AA on their National Telephone 24 hr helpline so she can mail me any time.
Hopefully she also has a partner or other close family? they can also help her by going to Al-Anon/Alateen meetings, this is a support group for the family of the alcoholic and can be very useful as well as supportive, this is my second link.
