yeah, i set dates. several times.
these were delaying tactics, i think, so i could keep drinking a bit longer.
but it did and does make rational sense to me in the way of "preparing", getting "ready", except that getting "ready" and such is nonsense.
it's not like i needed further practice in order to be "ready"
when i finally quit, i had set a date for after my upcoming holidays, but then had a moment of clarity and was so DONE with it all that i quit then and there, just before my holidays.
worked out just fine.
