I want to quit more than I want to drink but the compulsion and obsession makes me batcrap crazy. I drink even though I don't want to. It's like being possessed. I am thinking of looking into a detox. I've never done detox or rehab. Maybe it will help.
That's your AA talking. I heard/here the same thing. Sometimes it take a life changing event for us to 'see the light' so to speak.
So yeah, when you are "ready" just up and quit. Just like that.
IT AIN'T EASY - I KNOW. BUT IF YOU ARE DETERMINED AND WANT IT, IT'S QUITE SIMPLE.
