OK. Yet, you wrote the following in your subsequent post to the one I quoted, in response to hamabi's clear suggestion that just quitting doesn't produce results, and that you need something else -- "outside help" -- to get the job done.

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.
So, you say that you've quit drinking, but it also sounds like you seriously doubt that you have actually quit, and you even mention "trying to get sober", when you have, in fact, been "sober" for a month. Where is all this doubt coming from?
Why did Hamabi's response stand out so much? It suggests, and dare I say, even predicts, a lack of success at quitting cold turkey, so don't casually dismiss being drawn to it. What is so very interesting about his suggestion of not being able to just quit drinking?
