I'm also considering quitting drinking - which really isn't a tough issue for me.
The only thing is, I'll probably not be hanging out with some of my closer buddies who still enjoy drinking. So while it's easy for me to quit drinking, I'll probably miss those times, though of drunken stupor, with those close buddies of mine.
I guess I used to drink to numb myself from the memories of past setbacks as well as the ongoing unresolved issues in my life. But I've come to consciously realize that things aren't working out for me and they will continue to be that way unless I do something about it. Unfinished goals, good intentions that never materialized, broken promises - these are some of the stuff that happens when you don't consciously make the right choices.
When I choose to stop drinking, it is about exercising my choice to take responsibility of the lacklustre performance I've been demonstrating in my life. I guess I've had enough of mediocrity.
