You could wait till you drink every day, get drunk every night, lose your family, job home etc. I mean, a lot of people do. Or you could use your wakeup call to your advantage. It is funny, but after a while, you don't miss that drink any more then you do that cigarette. I quit smoking a long time ago, and I don't miss it. I quit drinking and I give no explanation except, I don't want a drink. No one cares what I drink, and I don't care what they drink. A glass of iced tea by the pool is great. You will find things you like to drink, I promise. Do whatever it takes for you to be the best you that you can be.
