What does alcohol add to MY life?? Excellent question. it fuels my passion for travel, exploration, and adventure. Whether it's flying somewhere or driving somewhere i can have my drinks in the airport listening to music or staring at the crappy 4 walls of any hotel i stop at driving cross country. I do the x-country amtrak runs as well in a nice cozy roomette and once again - i have my beers, my laptop, and great movies/tv and i could be anywhere. Remove that... why bother going...?
You definitely aren't the first alcoholic to believe that alcohol makes everything better.
Until it doesn't, is the problem
Maybe, this (mistaken, imo) belief is what takes some of us so long to get here.
Lucky are the ones who figure it out before there are catastrophic consequences. Or not catastrophic, but, a bleak life.
