Oh how many days I'd start by saying that - only to then drink by lunch. Or, I'd NOT buy alcohol and say I'm taking a week off only to end up at the liquor store on Monday morning when it opened. The accountability of asking for help - and taking someone else's suggestions really turned it around for me. Definitely give it a shot - The first week sucks, it gets better, and after 30 days, you may wonder why you ever drank at all.
