I've ruined some great relationships in my life due to alcohol. Heck, the girl of my dreams walked out on me because I said some horrible things I could never take back while I was drunk. I've made some pretty dumb mistakes in my life and they all can be rooted to me getting blitzed. I would like to quit but on my own terms. I don't want to reach out to a program because I feel I can control my own life. What led to your own success?
I never had any success on my own.
