Welcome Sentso...This was my problem. There was only one solutuion for me. I can't have one more drink. No matter what the hell happens or what is around me. I can't drink. I was introduced to the program of Alcoholics Anonymous in rehab and after reading the book...It said if I took those 12 steps with all the honesty I had...The obsession...(Which I've had all my life)...Would be lifted...I could be around it and it wouldn't bother me. I found someone at a meeting that had done the steps...Asked them to show me how they did it..As laid out in the book...And it worked...After 35 long years of daily drinking...I haven't had a drink in a year...And it doesn't bother me being around it. Forget all the the other wonderful things that have happened in my life as a result of those steps...I don't have to drink today. And I'm very happy about that.
