Hi BJ, I'm a highly functional alcy too. 6 months ago I decided I wanted to quit, 5 weeks ago I finally did! Your journey to recovery has started. It's the hardest thing I've ever done but a month later u could time the urges to drink in minutes. At the beginning it was 24/7 for me! I tried AA but didn't love it either so got myself an addiction counsellor and she is amazing! She was the 2nd one I tried tho. All the best
