Spencer,
I had a really hard time getting sober. I would buy that I had a "drinking problem"; but couldn't see how it made my life unmanagable...
I finally was able to accept me being an alcoholic in my heart AND in my mind. I was finally able to see how unmanagable my life really was. I began working the steps and talking about how UNMANAGABLE my life was as a direct result of my drinking. Finding out that I was NOT in fact, unique, like I had once thought. In fact, there were a lot of people that could relate with me.
My suggestion...get to lots of meetings, get a sponsor or two (the real hard-a$$es) and do whatever they tell you to do. Perhaps also go with journaling. Perhaps a written first step so you have it in black and white...that way, you can't forget what it was like...
Good luck,
Jen
