Hi stark6935
Welcome to SR
My story was pretty much like yours, only I developed into drinking in the mornings every morning, then all day....
Making the commitment Augustwest talked about is a great start, but please do think about seeing your doctor first.
Detox is ok for most people but, occasionally, some of us do have medical problems with withdrawal.
You'll find a lot of support here - this is a great place....but if you find you can't maintain sobriety day by day on your own, maybe a recovery programme with face to face support - like AA etc - may help.
Please keep posting.
SR made the difference for me - I hope it can make the difference for you too
