It's Now Or Never -- Or Some Other Day

This was posted in an alcoholics Facebook group by someone named Abi:

“If you're actively over consuming too much alcohol everyday, but want to stop, is it helpful to set a date? I keep telling myself I'm done, then by 6pm I'm drinking again. I have a hard time calling myself an alcoholic.... I've only been "over consuming " for 11 months…. But for now I just have this question.”

Okay, so what’s your answer? Ever set a date for quitting? I think the only date I ever set was “today,” but that didn’t work out so well. Would it work to pick a future date and say that will be the last I drink?
