I reduced my alcohol consumption -- slowly and over a couple of decades. That's my it-works-on-my-machine. I don't think quitting all at once would have worked...or rather it would have worked a bunch of times, because alcohol consumption is a social behavior to a significant degree, and my social context facilitated and expected alcohol consumption. Until eventually it didn't. And doesn't. Good luck.
