The trick to getting sober is hard self evaluation and criticism(admit you have a problem). In other words, you need to "self red pill". Also, your addiction is between you and God, so you need to be independently and mentally strong. Because when you sober up all your friends disappear.

You cant break away from your addiction and be a victim at the same time. You'll fail.
