My quit date chose me as well. Last December I was under extreme mental stress ( I have a life -long struggle with mental illness, schizoaffective disorder and autism, so drinking was a definite form of self-medication) and had a drink for the first time in two years. It ended with me wrecking my car in a suicide attempt and nearly dying from a brain injury. As I recovered something changed in me and I got serious with my sobriety and dealing with my psychiatric issues. I don't want to cause myself more pain and I don't want to hurt anyone else. It is very hard but I am proud of myself for not drinking today.
