Our northern accents are pretty awful as well

NO and NY accents share some similarities- notably some non-rhotic pronunciations.

I do this as well. Spent 18 months in London and came home to the US with an accent that took at least a month to go away.

Honestly, he really did the hard work. He realized his addiction while still young and sought help. But detox was still necessary.
I was never much of a drinker but became a (so gross to say this) “wine mom” in my 30’s. One glass while making dinner, one glass with dinner, one glass once my chores were done and I could “relax”. Much easier (but still no cake walk) to quit.

It’s hard even when one isn’t a “blackout drunk”. I had trouble sleeping for months after quitting my nightly 3 glasses of wine.
Sometimes I felt like I was coming out of my skin. (Melatonin helped)
That said, my husband is a recovering alcoholic (25 years sober) and had he gone to rehab without detoxing in a clinic first, he very well may have died. It’s not just a “willpower” thing.
