More power to you man!!
I couldn't have put it any better, the emotions that you're going through, besides not having a wife or children. But you'll be suprised how much gratitude you'll receive back for quitting. Not to speak about the boost in self confidence and self esteem we think we're getting with the bottle.
You're right that it seems selfish. Most of us think only of our own pain, otherwise we wouldn't drink in the first place. But yes, you have to quit for you! I'm not discluding anyone, but YOU have to want it and decide to do it. By your words, you sound like you're good and ready to make that jump.
It's a whole lot better to jump and land on your feet on dry land, rather than to dive into an empty barral that's so hard to climb out of.
God bless and give you the strength to find yourself again.
