Yeah, I think what I'm struggling with is that I've tried to quit for health reasons so many times before... like when my liver function test came back abnormal, that was a big scare, but the "cutting back" didn't last. I think there's something about admitting you might have a problem, which I resisted for so long (and actually was diagnosed as alcoholic by one counselor, which made me so angry at the time, but now I suppose I should go back and thank her now for forcing me to consider the idea).

I guess "step 1: admit you have a problem" isn't exactly ground-breaking stuff, but I'm starting to see the power in it
