There's a bottom line to this - either you control the booze you drink, or it controls you. A few things you should realize if you're thinking about quitting:
1) The beast of bad decisions you become when under the influence is not a new one, it's always been there. Either keep it in check or it will check you.
2) Most folks you know don't care if you decide to stop drinking. In fact, some will call you an effin quitter when you do, like you've got a problem. Get used to that. But your closest ride-or-die family and friends will remain that way - booze or no booze.
3) The same thoughts, problems and issues you had while drinking will be there front and center when you stop drinking. What changes is your perception as you no longer drink your way through an issue, but address it with a clear mind.
