Addiction is a medical problem. Consider getting help from a medical professional. In the US, Alcohol Use Disorder is part of the DSM-5. You didn't always have access to alcohol. Ask yourself, how did you have fun before you started drinking? What of those things still sounds fun to you? Are your current set of friends the type of people that will do those things with you without alcohol? EDIT: In the US, recovery and rehab centers are virtually unregulated. Many are known for being terrible and being scams. I have none to recommend. See a reputable doctor on how to recover. Consider getting a second and third opinion if they recommend a recovery/rehab center.
