You haven't come to terms with the first step. You haven't admitted you're powerless over alcohol. Not really.

Why can't you control this shit? Why are you a slave to this shit? Because you are addicted to alcohol. You're an alcoholic. I can't give you a reason why. It is what it is.

I can walk by a bar without batting an eye, yes. On the occasions where I've had to be in a bar for some sort of social obligation, I've not had to drink. Why? Because when I drink, I can't control this shit. When I drink, I'm a slave to this shit. When I don't take the first drink, I'm in control of all my shit. When I don't take the first drink, I'm a slave to nothing and no one. Simple.

If you don't take the first drink, you can't get drunk; the 1st step is the only one we have to work perfectly. It might behoove you to listen to the people who've been there before you and CAN walk by a beer bar without batting an eye. You want what we have? Do what we do.
