LH111....welcome to the site and happy new year.
Alcoholism is a nasty, progressive disease that will kill you if you let it. It always gets worse with time and never better. The notion that you need to reach a bottom that involves you lying in the gutter having lost everything to be ready is rubbish. You are ready when you say you are ready and when you are ready to give 100% to quit.
Most people make half hearted promises to quit and mean it at the time. But being ready means doing whatever it takes to quit FOREVER. Would you move to another country to quit? Change your friends? Break up with your partner? Quit your job? Of course its most likely that you won't have to do this but you will need to rebuild a sober life at almost any cost and you will have to do what you need to do to accomplish this. This is what people mean by being ready. You ready for that? Is so, I recommend you spend a week reading this site back to front and learn as much as you can and stop drinking immediately and don't drink while you do that. Good luck.
