How about never, possibly. One of the biggest delusions out there is that I can get sober just because I want to. Recovery is so mainstream, AA meeting on every corner, 3 brands of recovery reality TV, that people think it's a no brainer.
The reality is, most real deal alkies never recover. I've watched thousands play that game of a little better, for a little while, ending in worse relapse and another trip to jail, treatment, AA, whatever.
Is it possible that you might not get better just by wishing for it?
