Even if Tomorrow does come, you can lose a lot between now and then. I spent 10 years planning to quit "tomorrow". Every night I poured out what was left in the bottle of vodka and every day I gave in and bought another.

That's 10 years I spent in miserable isolation doing damage to my body, mind, soul, and relationships.

For me, I had to tell everyone important in my life what was going on, take a couple days off work, get help from my doctor for withdrawal, and spend the first few days going to AA meetings from 7AM until 9:30PM.

I needed to make a real plan and try to cover all the bases. Just "putting the plug in the jug" was never going to work for me.

Good luck! You can do this if you are willing to make it your top priority, make a plan, and enlist all the help you can.
