How I envy you! You were able to stop because you know there's a big problem with your drinking. That you have a problem.
I knew that too but went on drinking. "Oh, I'll deal with it tomorrow, or today will be different, bla bla bla". What happened was that in a blackout I took a big bottle of valium, woke up in a hospital emergency room strapped to a gurney. I was very lucky, a friend couldn't reach me and came into my home, found me unconscious and called 911.
For some reason I decided to kill myself but 18 years later, I have no idea why.
Of course I wish I'd come in when I knew I had a problem. I wish I didn't have to almost die to confront my problem.
