Wow thanks a bunch everyone for contributing to the discussion it's certainly made me reflect on my original post. One response that really stood out to me was this:

And that's the thing for me that I sometimes worry about. Because, as much as I do want to quit drinking forever, I am not sure how far I would go to get sober. The thing is I'm just skeptical of programs, associations, clubs, collectives, ideologies etc. There is alot of rhetoric out there, sometimes it can be difficult to keep a level head. I think as a person trying to get sober, there's always the danger that the desperation to quit could lead me to deluding myself into believing in things that aren't true.
