I'm also 34. In december I decided to get really serious about quitting alcohol. Like you, I made countless half-hearted attempts, rarely lasting more than 2 weeks. In 2012 I was arrested 3 times and even hopsitalized twice due to alcohol. Very stupid. I was more of a cyclic binge drinker than an every day drinker, so quitting was hard because I would wuit for a bit, then feel good again and figure I could control my drinking. I finally realized that it's just not the case for me, so I decided on doing an entire year with no alcohol. At the end of that year, I will decide if I want to drink again, but for now I'm focused on that year and I've decided that I am 100% committed to it. I wish you the best in this. This site has helped me as a simple reminder of not drinking.
