When I decided to quit drinking i truly felt like I had lost my best friend. I actually went thru a type of mourning. Looking back I see what a crazy destroying cloud I was living in.

He has a website and YouTube channel called Stop Drinking Expert. I like his YouTube videos as they are to the point. Couldn't hurt to check it out.
There's another website and channel called Alcohol Mastery by Kevin O'Hara, which I like.
Both sites have free content.

Somewhat agree. To many its a pleasant social outlet. To an addict, it can be death.
Once you cross a line, it takes on a life of its own and it is nearly impossible to go back to a casual relationship.
I dont give alcohol that much power over me. When deeply into addiction it would have been difficult, even dangerous, to stop without help.
Once i made the decision that i was done, i was done. Now its just a colorless solvent.

This exactly why I often compare stopping drinking to breaking up from a toxic relationship. Once lines/boundaries get crossed enough, it's never going to be the same again.
I'm only early into sobriety (once again) but I don't look at alcohol as some kind of existential being. In fact (for me) I find it unhelpful. In every day life we would call it projecting. The projection of blame onto another thing or person.
In my story I'm the problem. Not alcohol, people, work, circumstance or anything else.
Me.
I'm the problem.
And it's me I have to fix.
