I stopped a couple years ago and really didn't intend to. The idea was to hit the pause button for a while, as my wine intake was becoming too regular. I had quit cigarettes long ago w/ a packaged plan. What I remember about it was that it came w/ a card on which you were told to list the things you'd gain, the benefits you'd reap, by quitting smoking. So I made the same list for stopping drinking and it worked better than I expected. I won't tell you what was on my list, as it would sound preachy. I would recommend making your own list. Spend a few minutes on it & try to be exhaustive. If you frame your goal not as removing a negative but as gaining a set of positives, it may reorient your thinking & get you to your goal. It did in my case.
