Great.
You can quit drinking easily if it's just a habit. You may struggle a bit with quitting if you are a problem drinker, but it can be done.
If you can't quit, despite your strong desire to, then you might be an alcoholic. Once you accept that, the goal is to recover from alcoholism, not just quit drinking.
Good luck.
