Wow, I went into this post thinking some kinda hoowey, and after I read the 5 items, they are spot on in my opinion. And at the end of the day its all about accountability. I would have to agree that those 5 things are 100% true.

No one is gonna babysit your butt. You gotta do it for yourself.

Outstanding. It resonates with me. I am consistently impressed with the thought/clarity/writing of active SR members. This site has attracted the wisest of folks who know the subject of addiction.
