Sorry I still haven't been able to find anyone to volunteer for the tough love. Do you want me to give it another try? Here goes !
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
That's the sentence that someone threw at me 6 years ago that got me sober at that time for 6 months, and that still runs through my head now. I tend to wallow in alcohol and self-pity.
Tough love is not my thing. But I tried !
