Hi onlyonebody,
Wanted to make sure you have all resources you need, and know that this is a place that is non-judgmental, and we only want to see you well. We know you can overcome this, and are here to inspire and support as we are able. Recognizing you have a problem is huge, and congrats on being sober the other night. It's a start, and you have to start somewhere.
What do you do when you drink? Do you watch TV, or cruise the internet? Why do you want to quit? Do you feel you're ready to quit? Do you have family or friends close by you can lean on? Have you told anyone you think you may have a problem? When you get that 3 o'clock urge to run to the liquor store, is there something else you can do instead? Maybe you can call a trusted friend to help you cut back on or eliminate your drinking. Talking with your doctor and/or a counselor also is great advice.
Here is some information I found that may be of interest: Women-Only Treatment for Addiction, and Addiction Help Resources
Good luck and let us know how you are doing.
