Reason You Can’t Quit Alcohol #1 – FOMO If you’ve read other posts in this series (I am updating them one at a time) you’ll know that I posted this question on a bunch of sober forums: “What stops you from quitting alcohol even though you want to?

Why can’t you quit alcohol, even though you want to? I always assumed it’s because alcohol is so incredibly addictive and in many ways that’s absolutely right.
