Hi DarrenJGalea,
Yes, I had a similar outlook about starting on a certain date. I also had to be in the "right state of mind." I also asked for advice on SR. Most of the people said "now's the best time to quit," but for me I had to choose MY RIGHT TIME.
I chose 3/31/13 which had a special significance to me. I am glad that I waited for that date before I quit. It was only about a 5 day wait, but I knew it was the right time and date for me. I was ready. I had enough of the drinking game and I was ready to get on with my life.
Look within and chose your date when you know you are ready, but don't wait too long!
Good luck.
