Actually, i'd argue that you only have to accept that you are an alcoholic and that you can get sober through hard work and an appropriate plan.
What other people think or what other people "expect" is largely irrelevant. What is important is taking action and believing in yourself...because you are the only one that can really make a difference in regards to your sobriety. And you do have the power within you to do it...you just need to learn how to apply it.
