I quit drinking over four years ago and it's sincerely been one of the best things I've done for myself. The book, "This Naked Mind" helped me a lot.

The author does a very analytical, scientific breakdown of the physiological and psychological factors at play with alcohol. For me, it helped a ton to understand that there were very real forces at play that were compelling me to drink, it wasn't necessarily a personal failing or weakness.

Best of luck to you! I am brutally aware of how tough it can be, but I can tell you the other side is pretty great.
