Congratulations to you, Lorraine. You did it! You quit! The only time that things actually happen is the present moment, NOW. Not only is NOW the only time to quit, it is also the best time to quit!
To your OP, I quit one Monday morning, between 9:30 am and a quarter to 10. And yes, I poured out contents of opened bottles, about 40 oz of vodka, and gave away the beer and wine.
To me, a plan for quitting is not a plan to quit. The first to me involves how withdrawal, nutrition, insomnia and such will be handled. It provides alternative pasttimes to drinking and being comatose. A plan for quitting also means how we see the act of quitting. Is it something to be attempted, or is it something to be approached with full commitment of heart, mind and soul. This can all happen, for example, between 9:30 and 10 in the morning.
A plan to quit is not much more than a plan to keep drinking right now.
