Quitting is an all in deal. If you want to you can by accepting that it is an all in "thing" .
Stopping drinking for periods of time, or decreasing the amount and time drinking never ending in quitting for me because I never accepted the all in -ness of quitting. My AV (even before I acknowledged "it" or named it) was the thinking that it was inevitable that at some point in the future I may drink, it was a self fulfilling prophecy because I had yet to decide to Quit, the furthest I got was to recognize that I should stop, but then stopping short of making a commitment.
You can make a commitment to never drinking again, but you have to do it, have to consciously make the decision , all the way down . Make that commitment to yourself , you deserve it, it's doable.
When the AV rears its idiotic head, the answer is No, no matter what.
