Welcome to SR

I would need to agree with your pastor.

He has shared what he knows and has maybe opened your eyes to the sin.
What you would be needing now may be a group of people that have the answers because we have been there and done that and know how we got out.

AA meetings can avail you much needed support and answers.
Celebrate Recovery groups can be an added support as well (they are Christian based)
Salvation Army has helped many also.

You say God has not given you the desire to quit.
Well guess what... You need want it yourself and then ask Him for the strength and will to quit.

AA will help you find answers. The only requirement they ask... a desire to quit.
If you look at the harm excessive drinking can cause and start to look at such drinking as a sin that it is (harm against self thus a sin against God) Maybe you will start to find that desire. Read the book of John. Yes you may have read it many times before but as you read...think on the verses that say... A Christian is... and a Christian does not...
