I am ready. I can honestly say that for the first time in my life I am accepting the fact that there is something seriously wrong with me, but that's OK. If the worst thing I have to do for the rest of my life is not drink, then I can handle that. Before I quit lying to myself that "I can quit anytime I want", or "I'll cut down starting tomorrow", there would be no way. I know now that every attempt I have made in the past to quite drinking has been half-hearted. I didn't really want to quit, I wanted to drink like everybody else who has a few drinks & doesn't fall down or forget what day it is or where they're at. Unfortunately I can't do that, so I have to give it up.
