My great grandmother quit all alone without any help. She was so alcoholic that she made other people taste any of her drinks before she drank it to be sure there was no alcohol in it. She was an uneducated immigrant. She didn't have AA or SR or anyone to talk to about it. (hell, they didn't even mention if someone was pregnant in those days) I have used her as a huge inspiration in my sobriety. I have all of these resources. If she could do it, I have no excuse not to do it. That being said, you have to want it, to do it.
