Thank you Healthyandsober

And thank you Least. Like I said, I have never tried to stop drinking "once and for all" it's always been "how can i manage my life better and still drink" - but I am realizing too late that I should have just tried to quit a long time ago. I'm sicking of hurting other people, I never want to hurt anyone else because of my problem anymore, and while I don't really care about myself much, I am tired of being in mental and physical pain.
