You are getting it! The truth that you speak of will feel so much better once you live it and not just write it.
You can change and you want to, the next step is to do it. You will never feel as free as you will once this crap is in the review mirror.
I rode the roller coaster that you are on for many of years, and can tell you first hand the view is better from the non-drinking side.
Best of luck
