You got some really good feedback here and I don't have much to add, just that it's possible to quit drinking and maintain sobriety.
Many of us here on SR have done so, whether it's with AA, WFS, AVRT,SMART, reading and blogging, meditating etc.
I think that the two main keys to success is acceptance that you can never drink safely again and the commitment to never pick up the first drink no matter what.
Anything else you can work on, iron out, change around.
If we could do it, so can you
