The problem is in my mind that we're treating and that no human power has been able to change me saying f it and picking up a drink, or no human power has been able to change me accidentally drinking like we were talking about, and no human power has been able to change me accidentally drinking too much or justifying the reasons that I'm getting drunk, even though I understand that I'm going to lose my family or my house, or my job, or my teeth, or my kids, or my life.
