Hi Red
Assuming you're correct does it really matter if it's not a physical addiction?
If you know you should stop and can't, the problems just as real.

Quitting was hard. Every facet of my life was built around drinking - the way I had fun and socialised, the way I solved problems, the way I soothed myself , the way I avoided conflict.

As hard as it was to quit, I knew if I didn't the problem was going to get worse - I'd rely on booze more and more and nothing would ever change for me, except to get worse.

Think about what others have done here to stay sober - and think about what steps you'd be prepared to take right now to change.

It's a start, right?
