Speaking from deep personal experience, you won't be able to stop until you really want to. I drank at least a liter or more of vodka a day for a long time. I woke up and drank before work just to make it through the day, then rushed home to get to that first swig of alcohol. I really didn't even feel the effects anymore.....I ruined my life and my health because I'm an addict. I was completely physically and mentally dependent on alcohol to make it through every day of my life.
Detox was brutal. One of the most excruciatingly painful and uncomfortable experiences I've been through. The only way the doctor could keep my from having seizures was to feed me Diazepam and then wean me off it over 2 weeks. Every day I still want to drink, I guess I'll always have that urge.
But I really wanted to stop and I did. I distanced myself from drinking period. I don't go to bars, I don't hang around friends when they're drinking. I know every day is another day I might give in to the urge, so I treat it as so. If you really want to stop, you will. Keep up the good fight and good luck.
