I was a daily drinker from the time I was 30 until I stopped at 49. It's hard to stop, believe me, I know. Where there's a will, there is a way.

If you have a doctor, schedule a consult and be completely honest about alcohol consumption and that you want to quit.

Spend a lot of time here, reading and posting. Something someone says will resonate with you. Learn what works for them and try it. Read up about making a plan to quit. Read about what to do when you have urges and cravings.

You can do this. Honestly, I never thought I could. It was hard to say I wanted to and that I needed help. But I've been sober since December 1, 2013, after being a daily drinker for almost 20 years. Hang in there
