That's some pretty strong AV you've got going there bringmeback. I used to feel that way too.
In reality though,l everyone does NOT drink. We hang around people that drink because it suits us well, but the raw fact is that most people either drink very sparingly or not at all.
Being sober absolutely does not mean you have to avoid places where alcohol is served. Sure you might not want to hang out in bars, but I go just about everywhere I used to when I was drinking and never have an issue.
Lots and lots of people do get sober and make it last their whole lives. Your addiction is just telling you it's not possible but it's very possible - and lots of people do it.
The point is that your subject line is a lie. Sobriety is possible - and it's possible for you specifically. You actually get to choose if you want it or not.
