I think they all want to quit...just like I did years before I did...I just wasn't willing to sit in the initial pains of recovery. Getting sober is hard work and scary...I knew what alcohol did for me...I was afraid of life without it...I had to move thru the pain...just like you did, just like Tib and anyone else will have to do.
Plenty of the founders of which you speak didn't stay sober...why is that?
