Deciding to quit any substance is hard enough, but we often unknowingly do things that can make things more difficult for us.  

One of those things is not doing any preparation to get sober.  

We have one of those “I will never drink again” mornings, decide to quit, pick a date, and then try to white-knuckle it.

But what steps can we take before taking the last drink that can increase our chances of having success?

That is what we are going to talk about in this episode.
