| Hey Pete, don't gimme that...
..."ingrained" crap...it don't wash here.
You want ingrained? I'm 50 and have been an alcoholic for 33 years. An active alcoholic for 32 of them. The last two years of my drinking it was a half a gallon of gin a day, EVERY day. When did I drink? Easy...when I was awake. So much for "ingrained".
It won't do for you to want to quit.
It won't do for you to really want to quit.
It won't do for you to Really want to quit.
You gotta REALLY want to quit...and be willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES.
How many meetings you been to the last week?
How many times you called your sponsor in the last week?
Did you call your sponsor before you drank?
Somebody else asked, but I'll ask again...how's the Higher Power relationship thing going?
Whatever it takes. Nothing...NOTHING else will work.
