I am always surprised by how easily people remain enslaved to people, places and things. Alcohol dependence starts out as taking a few drinks every once in a while. Dependency upon alcohol usually creeps into the fabric of their life ever so slowly. Drinking alcohol gradually becomes more and more of a regular occurrence. Independence from physical and or psychological reliance on alcohol starts with awareness of the reality of the condition. Some need more than just the realization. In those cases, joining Alcoholics Anonymous or some other support group help with stopping drinking. At first, life might seem rather boring. Some people have a hard time handling their new found freedom without their liquid crutch. Give time time, life will inevitably improve.
