Quitting is for me, without question. And it's me that I have to keep reminding that it ain't worth it to have a drink in the first place.
Counter app on my phone now says "1 day" - it'll go up from there.

Good for you. You'll get there.
FYI, I took off from work today to pick a colleague up from a psych facility. Last week he told his estranged wife he was going to commit suicide (She left him due to his excessive drunkenness after lots of stumbles -- it's been a long haul). She called the police and they talked him out of it and he committed himself.
On the way home today he admitted to me for the first time that the drinking was not somebody else's fault. He said he was all f'd up and didn't know if he could survive. I told him he is worth saving, worth the effort if he'll keep trying. I dunno.
Anyway, the coincidence of this thread and what my colleague is going through is pretty amazing.
