Catch,
How is staying strong working for you? It sounds mean, but I ask with concern and love. I look at your join date and wonder to myself, 'How's that working?'
I found that I could apply all my strength and willpower to taking actions that brought about a psychic change so that alcohol was no longer a problem. I could apply that strength and will to taking the 12 Steps of AA.
Applying them to not drinking was like pissing in the wind for me. Did that for many years.
