When I came to SR, I was looking up information about my mother drinking too much. I, like you, drank a lot, but really hadn't suffered any consequences from it. I really wasn't planning on quitting myself. Someone said to me, you have given all of those years to drinking, why not give NOT drinking a try? I am on Day 23 and I feel so good, I hope never to go back!! Think of it as a new adventure. If you are smart cookie now, just imagine yourself off the sauce! Read recovery books with a rational/logical bent. Those appealed to my brain and made me feel stupid for ever drinking.
