It seems ,the process could be applied to not drinking ,There are a lot of things I just wont do ,no matter what .
Karate, I believe you're overthinking your problem and the solution quite a bit. You seem to be going down every rabbit trail you can find, looking for some magic bullet that will make you stop drinking. But there is no magic bullet. You either decide to quit drinking or you don't. If you truly want to quit, make a plan to stop and work that plan with all your heart. If you need help with the plan, seek it out.

But ruminating over every cause or reason for your drinking doesn't solve the problem. Gathering every imaginable recovery tool or concept and putting them into your mental basket isn't all that helpful because many tools and concepts are equally effective if used properly. So pick an approach and go with it. And if that approach doesn't work, try another. IMO working dozens of different approaches simultaneously is confusing and probably ineffective.
