Pinot, I don't know about the others but I totally understand your situation and I think your plan is fine! Since it sounds like your friend doesn't live in your town it should make it easier for you to start your sobriety once she leaves. I had friends like this too.
Good luck to you! Just think...no more hangovers!!
PS. I obviously don't know your drinking history as this is the only post I've read of yours...but if you don't feel you are at "rock bottom" or it is a danger for you to drink one more time with your friend, than my reply still stands...if not, you should reconsider quitting before she leaves.
