Hi DM!
Believe me, none of us here on SR really ever "wanted" to quit drinking. That's why we continued to drink until the consequences became unbearable. Quitting for your children is a great reason. Hopefully, you will want to continue to be in their lives even once they leave your home. I missed so much of my kids growing up because of my drinking when my kids were younger. At least now I am fully present for them.
