Thank you for your reply and sharing part of your story. Good luck to you!
Don't hope, commit to making it happen at any lengths. And all you really need to do is focus on today. I find that planning dates in the future (I did this with cigarettes) was just a way of putting it off and dragging it out.
I'm at 9 months with the drinking and all I can say is if you stick with it your life will change in ways you can't predict (for the better). There's no question it's difficult at first but it's like ripping off a band aid, no fun time to do it really.
