A complete change of mind set. Sick and tired of the person I had become. Needed to make a full inventory of myself and decide that I don't want to drink anymore. When you reach that conclusion and you really mean it, it becomes easier. Not easy but doable. I do not prescribe to the powerless mantra nor do I necessary believe it's a disease. It's a an addiction and you have to break the addiction with a combination of stamina, will power, but mostly the decision that you don't want to be a slave to the bottle anymore. I'm not saying my way is easy or the way for you, everyone is different, some need AA, some need another group some just do it on this forum, but it all comes back to the need to not want to drink anymore. Hang in there.
Congrats on 22 months; I'm reaching 21 months this weekend, and our philosophies are very similar regarding sobriety; the decision gets that much easier when we reach our breaking point.
Well Done, Sir
