Welcome to SR. I found this place two months ago and it has helped me immensely. People here understand you and it is an amazing place.

I recommend joining the April class, it's a thread for people quiting this month. I am also non religious and not into AA. My feb class has been my rock through this whole process and fulfills the need to share stories and be held accountable by a group of people.

That's how I did it. Frequent check ins with my feb group, avoiding being around alcohol and alcohol social situations as much as possible, learning about alcoholism through documentaries and books, and setting a strict boundary- I don't drink ever again no matter what.

Good luck!
