If you don't add the fuel, you don't start your engine.
That makes sense to me.
Took me twenty years to get there and realise that tho. I was trying to control my drinking - not stop it.

Thanks and well said. As mostly a listener (i.e. reader) in personality and on this site, I wanted to add my nod of approval. I suffered for 10 years of "controlled" using/drinking/harmful behaviors. It took until 11April08 to discover that to stay sober I had to STOP drinking! What an insight and revelation! This bit of knowledge for a mathematics PhD took 10 years, thousands of dollars, 3 rehabs, lost jobs, hurt spouse and children, and very low self-esteem.
Just Stop-K.I.S.S.
Intellectualizing - BAH
Thinking myself sober-- BAH
Outsmarting my addictions -- BAH
Don't Drink? -- Yeah!
Thanks again Dee,
