This implies that logic drives the urge.
I don't think that wanting sobriety completely, yet still being struck by the compulsion to drink during difficult times are mutually exclusive phenomena. Far from ambivalent, I am fighting like a mofo to hold my ground and grow my sobriety while I navigate some pretty gnarly stuff.
Apologies if this sounds defensive - it isn't meant to be. I've been on the ropes all day and need to go find a way down.
