All people are different exactly you said it yourself, every alcoholic is different in some sort of way, you are not the same as the next alcoholic, each alcoholic will address a different issue on a day to day basis.
Around 20 % of alcoholics recovered in the UK last year which means these people new its their time get shot of this addiction.
People are more scared of living without booze than actually trying to go through withdrawal..
