Well it was said by my counselor when I quipped that "sobriety didn't take" last time around. But it really resonated with me. It does seem wise, and I think gets to that scared feeling we have that our lives will be "empty" if we stop drinking, when in fact I know the opposite can be true.

That with resists - persists. That which conforms - reforms.

re·form [noun]
   
1. the improvement or amendment of what is wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory, etc.: social reform; spelling reform.
2. an instance of this.
3. the amendment of conduct, belief, etc.
Good stuff. Thanks Boleo!
