Hi Sober54. Sounds like a great idea. I have done this myself many, many times. I pick out a date where I want to stop drinking. Then I drink as much as I could in the days before, justifying it with the thought that I'm about to quit. Now is a great time to quit. Wouldn't it be great to have a sober Christmas. If you stop now, you can celebrate New Years with almost a whole month of sobriety.
