I went a year without drinking a while back. I was getting hammered twice a week and after one really bad night I decided to go cold turkey. It really wasn't that hard. I still went to parties. Instead of being one of the drunks I just laughed at all of the drunks and messed with their heads. You can do it. Good luck!
You just have to take it day by day. I never thought in the begining that I would go a year. I made it a couple weeks and that was great. Then I made it to a month. Before I knew it, it was 6 months and at that point I saw how I was and realized that I didn't want to go back to drinking that much. Once the year mark came I was living in DC taking a break from college so it was much easier to have a couple drinks and that's it. Now of course I got totally plastered for my 21st birthday but I didn't have any problems resuming the moderation after that. So don't look ahead. Just focus on why you are doing this and how far you have gotten so far. (((HUG)))
