I made a lot of excuses to keep drinking.. until I decided to change my life. I wasn't ready to do that for a very long time.
If you don't find you have a problem now, then you don't. Are you looking for advice on how to quit til September (Sept 1st is tomorrow... so I'm thinking you're trying to quit for around 2 weeks??)? Don't buy liquor or go to the bar. I know that sounds silly.. but abstinence is the easy part. Living sober is entirely different and much more difficult, but it sounds like that's not what you're interested in.
Good luck!
