I didnt wanna quit drinking for simlier reasons. I figured the fun would be over how great would life be without booze in it? In my case I new i couldnt go on drinking tho that wasnt working. I didnt really admit i was an alcoholic till i was sober a year. I think that helped me i was pretty oblivious to that aspect all while i went through withdrawels and all the typical symptoms.
no one says you gotta quit forever just quit for 1 day at a time. The whole "forever" thought just made me wanna drink in the begining so i didnt think about that. Now if i think about "forever" i think well maybe we'll see.
