"It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe. We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Into Action, pg. 85~
Oh yes, there are some (few) who find a way to stop drinking by themselves, but they usually miss out on the best part of recovery. The best parts are the being around others in recovery who really know what you are/have gone through; and the most important part is the spiritual support you have with your higher power. Without the added power, many of us would never have made it through the quitting times. God/Jesus whispered into my ear(mind) one day that "everything was going to be alright". I could never have gone through it without the support of a group or the support from Heaven. I thank God every day for the strength to make it without another drop/pill/needle/line/puff! I am most confident that the day I forget about Jesus/God and what they did for/to me is the day I relapse and throw it all away and die in pain, shame, and loneliness.

If you are committed to getting yourself back into a pain free state of living without drugs or surgery, then muscle balance therapy and exercises might just be the treatment you're looking for.
