First I want to say congrats of 5 weeks. That's amazing. You have managed to find a way that works for you and that's great.
But IMHO, it's just not that easy for some. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you feel if people were less weak and stronger in their convictions to not drink, than that would be enough.
I think most people need support to not only quit drinking, but in helping them deal with the reasons why they drank in the first place. Many people drink to deal with stressors. How are these people suppose to deal with why their drinking, put a cork in the bottle and say bring it on. I just think there's more to quitting than just quitting, but I'm glad you found a way that works for you. Nice going!! John
