Yea but prohibition existed when you were young so I understand why you didn't.It was easy for me...
I never started.
Actually, that is incorrect. I did do it as a kid...

My body reminded me of all the sick hangovers i had and got tired of it. I didnt drink every day but when i did drink on my day off, id get drunk. Back in 2021 my co workers and fam took me out for my bday. They ordered me two birth day shots. Took one, felt nasty, went to the restroom and threw that shyt up. Never drank again since that day. Dont even crave or miss it. Guess u can say my body just naturally started to reject it

If I'm alone give me that dro, but outside? drank all day

I woke up on New Year's Day 2015 with a hangover and thought, "This kind of sucks." So I decided to quit.
Miss it every day but vodka and I got a long a little too well.

Most people who say they “just stopped” are not alcoholics.
Alcoholics spend damn near every waking moment drinking, trying to get drunk, or looking forward to the next drink.
That comes from habit and drinking steadily over time. Their tolerance is high af but it starts to wear off until your body is sensitive to drinking.
For example, they’ll take a shot and immediately throw up (like one bruh said earlier), then they will literally say “I got it out of my system” and go back to drinking again. My little brother is like this, and I’m afraid he got the habit from me (was Navy, drinking was a big part of the culture. I used to even drink before work sometimes too.. just to help keep me calm and remove stress).
They don’t function well off of it (to them) and the only time they feel “normal” is when drinking.
I believe thats whats happening with OP because it takes A LOT of time drinking, especially alone.
If all you have to look forward to is the next drink, you have developed a problem that cold turkey could fix but extremely hard to do. It’s mental and physical.
But it’s not impossible. I never tell people I quit drinking because technically I haven’t. I still go watch the fights or games with honeboys and order a double shot and sprite. I just don’t drink to get fukked up and that double lasts a long time now. But it’s still a useful tool when you are out with certain people because it tends to let their guard down, and you can get a lot of realness/info from drunks
Also stopped drinking when I’m alone.. biggest change I think you should make @Mandarin Duck.
I realized I was chasing something that I needed to fix sober…. Happiness, boredom, loneliness, relaxation, pain management, etc. next time, limit your drinking only to events. It might even get you out the crib. And it’s dangerous to get sloppy drunk out here in the streets, so just when you get your buzz, switch to a beer or something to hold it. Also, hydrate before and after.
If you can quit cold turkey, then great. If not, make rules (a plan) for your drinking and stick to them. Honestly, it is useless to me now but I will do wine, henn, or vodka but only if there is a lady friend around and only in moderation as well. Once you knock the edge off and feel more social/confident, just slow down the drinks

Weekends, I buy high quality shıt and make drinks at the crib plus I'm an licensed bartender.
I dunno if that counts as me being an alcoholic. I'm making a pumpkin spice Oaxacan old fashioned this weekend.
Maybe some pumpkin spice espresso martinis too.
