My take:
You are drinking bad alcohol.
Don’t quit, just go local.
Tafuta baze ya local muratina, busaa, keg, or such. Just ask around, and you will get quality local alcohol

The worst thing you can do is start feeling sorry for yourself. Take control of the situation ASAP.
When you are chemically dependent on alcohol, that is a medical issue that needs treatment just like malaria. Check yourself to rehab as soon as possible, don’t play around with trying to wean yourself off alcohol gradually.
And once you’re successfully off alcohol, find the root cause that drives you towards alcohol to prevent a relapse. Talk candidly to someone you can trust to help you work through the issues, sometimes men think opeing up is showing weakness, but that is sometimes very necessary and people around you may respect you even more. It may also mean changing your social circle and physical environment completely to avoid circumstances that will take you back to alcohol.

Proverbs 31:6-7 New Living Translation (NLT)
Alcohol is for the dying, and wine for those in bitter distress. Let them drink to forget their poverty and remember their troubles no more.

rehab mkuu. then after uhame mtaa
Rehab huwork kweli? Kule kuna drugs hadi
Ndio na’clock 18 months. Ni vita. Otherwise my advice would be to separate yourself from your father and face life like the rest of us. It worked for me.
Weren’t you bragging about going to work while high as a kite like a week ago? That you are functional and nobody notices? What happened? Did your colleagues stage an intervention?
You fail at the point where you accept dependency on alcohol. You will be surprised by the power of the mind. Disconnect from it with your mind. Reconfigure your mind that you can live without alcohol and the mind will whip the body to order. That is your only chance and way. It’s called will power. Remember the mind can bend time and space

He can if he puts his mind to it. The key is not to stop and sit idle watching out for the withdrawal symptoms. He should engage in something that consumes and excites the mind and this way the mind will have a positive outlook and energised itself and the body towards the new engagement.
I have lost two friends who went to rehab and three who went relapsed. Rehab requires one to take themselves there so it requires acceptance of addiction and the belief one can overcome the addiction; OP lacks the second condition. If one checks in with these two preconditions then at the rehab, counselling will be the main therapy; otherwise drug therapy will be used and it is temporary. They start by giving you the drug then they reduce the dosage finally they give you drugs that will counteract the drug you are addicted to. These counter drugs are drug-specific and don’t work if you change the drug. The body is a slave to the mind and as long as a therapy model does not address the mindset then they are useless. Remember it is the brain that gets addicted first before the body that’s why symptoms like alcoholic tremor come at a later stage after one has been at the can’t-sleep-without-a-tot stage for years

for the old and dying so they can get pleasure before their death; and for the poor and those in distress so they can forget their misery
Where does it say old? Blasphemy!!!
Deuteronomy 4:2
New International Version
2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.
I said “old and dying” and I was not quoting but explaining. Let us look at that verse again. Those in distress captures the sick, the poor etc, so are ‘the dying’ ?
Stop saying old and dying. Anyone who is dying like the OP is recommended alcohol
