I quit cold turkey about 17ish years ago.
In all honesty, when I drink, I STILL have cravings for it and I have never been addicted to any other drug or booze. It HAS to be one of the most addictive substances out there.
But it CAN be licked
Just do it to prove to yourself it can.
Best of luck - you will be SO much happier once you know you've stopped forever
