I'm quitting before I "had to" as well.
No DUI, no serious consequences, healthy, everything is great actually.
Its just alcohol is a very dark space in my life, I'm a wine binge drinker a couple nights a week, sometimes less, but theres no doubt I'll get ill or end up
drinking all day everyday at some point.
Its interesting to me, because I don't get anxious about never drinking again, a sober life seems delightful, what fills me with dread is continuing to drink; I thought I could stop when I wanted because I really don't drink that much- but I've been trying to stop for over 9 months, its very scary.
