Actually you didn't !
There are 'personal religions' & then there are 'personal religions'; Islam isn't about that endless mysticism that permeates everything from dharmic religions to druidism. Islam is personal in the manner of speaking that it deals with the 'person' & provides him with a 'reference point' for everything else but it isn't personal in that it takes the society out of the individuals instead of it being a symbiotic relationship as most of these other personal religions are. And so I don't think that one can practice Islam in the solitude of a cave cut-off from everyone & everything else; you can pray & chant the scripture - sure, but its the 'human experience' that lies at the essence of Islam - Not rituals !
And its not about 'Mullahs' or anything of the sort, Islam expects each of us to be our own priests ! But at the same time we cannot discount the place of Fiqh & the need for its evolution in the first place. Because Islam does not postulate a disconnect between what is worldly & what is divine in the manner of speaking that it doesn't ask an individual to behave in a certain manner in the society & then in a certain other manner in his religious capacity as if there is a thin screen that separate the two, it would be folly to think of the individual & the society as entities that are to be addressed by two paradigmatically frameworks instead one that overlaps the other. And this is what makes it ever so different from (say!) Buddhism or Hinduism or some of those other religions out there who are truly personal & not communal in a religious sense.
You talked about something being 'Haram' because you choose it to be thus; I disagree ! Something is 'haram' not because of the presence or absence of choice or the choice to exercise it but because it is either 'haram' or 'not' intrinsically so.
If 'drinking wine' or 'suicide' or some of those other things were haram or permissible purely being contingent on the choice of the individual under question then we would not have seen either of the first 4 Caliphs or even the Prophet (PBUH) himself taking away the 'right to choose' from an individual & giving it to the 'society' ! It is precisely because it is not contingent upon personal choice is why Muslim Scholarship from ages past & present have codified Behavioral Prohibitions as part of Fiqh & proposed penalties as such.
Islam, as I understand it to be, doesn't agree with the notion : Let me drink; its between me & God !

In my opinion.
Haram depends on your own Iman, as someone asked Mohammed [SAW].
Q:What is a kindness/Naiki?
A:Anything, that you are doing and your conscious/Zameer is positive and satisfied.
Q: What is a sin/gunnah
A:Anything, that makes you feel "guilty" while your doing it. [Even when in private]
I, have seen Muslims eating pork and being happy about it... Sooner or later Quranic message will be lifted and evaporate [erased] from people's conscious. Muslim's fun age will begin!
