hey JF
It really is a truism for us...nothing changes if nothing changes. If we want to stop drinking, and be happy about it, we have to change our lives - there's no way around that.
It can be as simple as telling our friends, or posting more here, or maybe joining a recovery group like AA...but you're right - we can't do it on our own...
Do whatever you think you need to to break the cycle JF - there's a lot of people with you here
