Yes exactly Jakelad  I am so sick if it all literally tired and exhgausted from the whole cycle. from having that first drink to wanting to party all night to most likely making a complete fool of myself one way or another . waking up with the big "oh crappp" and the what happened and the hoping it wasnt awful and all that . guilt , physically ill, self anger.....just sooooo exhausted from doing that to myself. i can no longer do it i also surrender.

That is great. honestly to yourself is so important. I tried to quit many times under pressure from others it was only when I gave in completely that I was able to surrender absolutely.

I do really want this so much. And yes I am doing it for me for the first time i am wanting to completely love myself enough not to do this to myself anymore and the only way to do do that is to not drink at all. I cannot .

How about yourself, why not quit for you?

It sounds like you really want this.

How are you going to prepare for this quit?
