Ready to quit!

This is the first night in months that I haven't drank a half a bottle of vodka. I'm so used watching the clock and when it hits 6p pouring a 6oz drink...followed by several more. I'm tired of waking up hungover and sick...
So...sept 1 seems as good a day as any to stop. I've tried before and failed. The liquor store is literally feet away. It's SO hard when the urge hits, but I'm going to really try this time! Wish me luck...

Welcome JustJules,

You have to start somewhere / sometime. As far as the liquor store being around the corner: Not the optimum situation, but it's virtually impossible to avoid alcohol. Welcome to SR. Read & post often. You're among friends. Look forward to hearing from you.

welcome to the forum and congrats on the decision to stop and start a new life.

if you have really been drinking that much, I would be concerned about quitting cold turkey. I suggest talking to a doctor about this.
