I'm a problem solver by nature.   You don't have a drinking problem, but you have problems that alcohol isn't helping.  Once you come to that realization, you're ready to declare day 1.
It's my job to remind you that we're focusing on the BENEFITS, not the DEPRIVATION.  Many people give up in the first couple of weeks with changing a habit.  Little do they know, they were closer to changing that habit then they thought!  We're in this together.  You are not going it alone!
