I reckon we all get, or have had such thoughts, but waiting to reach "rock bottom" doesn't mean you will quit and live happily ever after once you get there. You may on the way find yourself out of work, in prison, injured through a drunken accident or fight, and when you get there, you might have liver damage or actually find you cant stop and *your* rock bottom becomes literal, in so much that you're dead from alcoholism.
I wouldn't wait.
In 10 years, you will cry your brains out for wasting 10 years (the best years of your life,) being drunk or sad for being drunk.
Do yourself a favour, if you know now you have a problem, start doing something NOW.
