JL - I don't think there is any good time to quit.
When you drank for as many reasons as I did, there was always a reason to drink - and I'm not being flippant, I mean some really hard stuff & very valid crappy situations.
The point is tho - if you want change, at some stage you need to commit to getting through that hard stuff and those crappy situations sober.
I never thought I was strong enough - but I surprised myself.
I didn't automatically gain the problem solving skills of McGyver or the wisdom of Yoda...but I definitely got better with problems as I faced them. sober
I really believe you'll surprise yourself too
