Hello and welcome...

I tried putting off my quit date several times also...

A party coming up I didn't want to miss or go to sober...
A vacation in one month with unlimited booze (all inclusive)...
A trip to see my family, I needed booze to survive it anyway...

I wanted to wait because I thought booze would make all of these things better, somehow more worthwhile, or bearable where family is concerned.

What did putting off my quit date do for these upcoming events?

Ruined them all, each one was ruined because of drinking.
I made a fool of myself at the party.
I almost got stuck in Mexico.
Terrible fighting with my family.

If I would have quit right when I said I needed to, maybe those things could have been enjoyed or avoided.

Hope you choose to quit sooner than later!
