I have a feeling most will say that just putting down the drink isnt enough...alot needed to commit to the AA 12 steps to change themselves...think of it as 'us' being the problem...not the 'drink'. I personally havent been to any AA meetings yet...i'm only 6 days in but have gained alot of help from this site and can see where they are coming from when they say this. I can see where you are coming from too...it would be easy to get through the 30 days if somewhere in my mind I wasnt fully commited..if somewhere I was promising myself that 'reward' at the end of it....but it has to go beyond that and that is why I cannot do the 30 day thing...I can only live in the day...one day at a time....I dont say that I will never drink again...I just say that today I wont...and hope that it will get better ...keep going and stay strong x
