You have been hypnotised negatively to believe that you have to have alcohol and you love the poisonous substance. You were hypnotised at the start to believe that drinking is great and everyone does it, so when you became of age, or even earlier for some you had to have it. The more you drank, even if you felt like crap you continued because drinking is what people do.
The media hypnotised you daily that drinking makes you cool and makes you have fun, and no party or outing can happen without it.
Then when you realized you had a problem you have again been hypnotised to believe that quitting drinking is the hardest thing in the world, and you have been negatively programmed to believe that even if you quit drinking you will still be an alcoholic, in fact some programs even make you repeat it daily , "I am an alcoholic", and the best way to get help is to go to a place where everyone believes they have this incurable ailment and they want you to go 90 times in 90 days and listen to stories of failure and continue to repeat daily that "I am an alcoholic". You are told that most if not all people fail/relapse because that what alcoholics do and they tell you that you have no power and the only true fix is spiritual, and yet you will always have to live with the label "alcoholic".
Now this isn't a bash on AA because it has helped millions of people, but it's more of a bash on the drinking culture and the rehab culture of this world. If you say something enough you will eventually believe it. I have found that even staying on these types of forums, even though they offer up support and suggestions on how to quit or moderate your drinking might even be unhealthy, because it keeps you believing that this is a really hard thing to beat. The only thing you need to do is to change your subconscious mind and deprogram yourself to believe that you are a healthy person and if you quit drinking you will no longer have a drinking problem.
I know this might be an unpopular post for many, but if you honestly want to quit drinking you hold the answer in your head. Do you want to have this problem next month, or in 6 months, or in a year or in 10 years? Quit believing you have a problem and just quit and don't look back, replace your bad habit with a good habit. Do worry about whether others approve, it's your life and sobriety is the key to happiness, and continuing to believe you have a major problem other than keeping the poison away from your lips will only keep you in the unhappy place you are today.
So snap out of the negative hypnosis of alcohol and the negative message rehab tells you that you are diseased, and just start leading a sober healthy life, and good things will happen.
