Anyone ever quit because not drinking became a necessity, although possible?

Here's the story. I'm 26, spent the last many years in school, still living at home because I couldn't afford to work and study full-time to pay for my own place.

At my parent's insistence, now that I'm working, I'm moving out in November; I'm not the easiest person to live with, since I hate hearing other people making noise with a TV, stomping around upstairs, etc.

Here's the thing. Given the current amount of money I'm making, I can afford to pay rent on a small apartment, but only if I'm not drinking. I also have a car and student loans. If I AM drinking, I'll run out of money when it comes time to pay rent.

I've known I need to stop for some time now, but never before has it been an immediate essential to life.

Anyone have similar experiences, and has it helped you to quit?
