I'm done drinking

Long story longer. I've drank for about 20 years now. Off and on binge drinking from ages 10-15, some really heavy stuff from 15-24 (you know, hit a run of a few months getting tore up at least a few nights a week) didn't really touch it for a couple of years, and then I discovered great beer and fine wine 
Now, I'm the first to admit that for the past couple of years I've drank almost daily. But out of 800+ days, I've been tossed maybe 10-15. I liked the feeling and the art of the good stuff. Not much, a couple glasses a day, never more than four drinks total, spaced out with meals ect
I started weening down this fall, and just went ten days without a drink. No with drawls of any kind, just kinda missed the ritual. Well, I had about a glass and a half last night spaced over 4 hours with a Vodka & 7UP thrown in the middle and I woke up feeling like CRAP today. I have to admit that my body/Spirit/mind are taking a pounding and I'm just used to it, not because it's not hard on me. I think I'm done for a while, maybe forever. I never woulda saw this coming.
Anyone else ever get to this point?

The other nite I came about 3 feet from crashing into a brick house while wasted. If your drunk I recommend throwing your keys into a lake. I'm not drinking for AWHILE.

Good for you dude... alcohol is not that great a drug.
I am kind of drunk though, so

The more I get drunk, the more I like getting drunk. If I stop for a couple of months the desire is almost completely gone.

i just stick with beer, i love beer..it is a controlled drunk and i never have got out of control from too many beers, even when I had 15 or more sometimes. That was over a span of many hours though.

Yeah and again, I'm not physically addicted, nor even mentally beyond just thinking, "Oh, what kind of wine do I want tonight"?.
I just really enjoyed it for a while. The warmth of a mild buzz, the taste, the art of it. I hardly ever had too much, usually when somebody brought and I just loved drinking it. I found it hard to say no to great wine. I didn't drive drunk ect. But I do think it made me a little edgier and like I said, I others could see and hear the difference in me after even a small amount. Not to mention the hang over.
I'm just kinda saddened by the realization that I need to stop.
Oh well, more money to spend for fruits and vegetables for my juicer!!

I agree entirely.
I really don't drink much now, just a nice beer here and there. When I was drinking all the time, though, being drunk was much more appealing.
