Like others have said, I got to the point where I was consistently saying to myself “I can’t do this anymore.” I didn’t want that life anymore, and I also was pretty clueless as to what I wanted instead. I had gone through all the excuses and bargaining and finally accepted that drinking alcohol was the one variable that I had the control to change. That is what gave me the motivation to stop, and getting support here and elsewhere is what gave me the courage to stay stopped. You absolutely can do this, and you don’t have to do it alone. Read here, start reaching out more often, offer words of support to others and take a look at this thread with a bunch of folks who are newly sober and checking in with each other: Marching Towards Sobriety
