If you are an alcoholic then you are likely to drink again with that attitute because you have not admitted total and utter defeat to king alcohol. You are still trying to exert your own self-will over it and haven't accepted that you are powerless over it. This powerless extends over into people, places and things. Alcoholism is primarily a 'thinking' and not a 'drinking' problem.

Once you have got through this home detox and are feeling better and things even back out again you will be feeling quitely smug that you have got this booze thing licked. You will drink again.



All The Best, It always seems to be the ones still drinking that know all the right answers and know best.
