My first time to say I quit and this is for good is successful, 3 1/2 months ago. Before that, I often had times i cut back, did the every other day routine, but I had never before said never again. I am not going to change my mind. I learned I was an alcoholic during these last months after I became aware of what alcohol was robbing from my life. I could not see it while actively drinking and did not see it until I had stopped for a couple of months.
