You received some great advice already, Mr. Ben. I just want to add that while it often seems like a huge sacrifice to quit, you are going to be really glad you did. I was amazed what a difference it made in my mood, my relationships, everything. And like Mecanix, I had to find new ways to have fun... and that too can seem daunting at first, but turns out to be an incredible opportunity. I now play the ukulele, even played and sang at an open mic event last night—amazing experience, and it never would have happened if I was still drinking!
It takes commitment and hard work, especially in the beginning, but wow—you are going to be so glad you did this.
