I guess I'm worried about hitting rock bottom one day and looking back at THIS moment and hating myself for not making the change now. But when I reach for a drink, I think... I'm not like everyone else. I'm responsible and young and why CANT i have a drink?? So how do I overcome this... do people have to hit rock bottom to change?
No you dont have to reach rock bottom to change.
But things do and will get worse if you continue...eventually.
You have been brainwashed and conditioned to think that alcoHELL is needed to enjoy life, I was the same.
Give yourself say a 100 days without a drink, see how you feel/cope.
Life is raw and real but also mazing without alcoHELL.
Good luck !
