You can do this. Look around for supportive resources in your area and hten use them. Like Carl said, I too wanted to drink without the terrible consequences but that didn't work out so well. Life is so much easier and guilt free without alcohol involved.
I haven't had a cigarette since last thursday. I couldn't envision NOT smoking. It is hard to quit but if you do it one hour, one day, at a time, you will get there. Add positive things to your life as you go along and you won't miss the negative things. Good luck and keep coming back.
