I think it's up to you to decide when you are done. I remember saying day after day during my hangovers at work, that I wasn't going to drink again, but after work, all was forgotten and I'd be back at it. I knew I was headed down the wrong path, and eventually it got so bad it frightened me. Whatever is required to actually quit, I wish I could just hand it to you, but I can't. It's up to you, but support and actual knowledge about the process of giving it up is available, here or elsewhere. You don't have to go it alone when you make up your mind.
