oh I do remember when I was drinking recovery seemed utterly unattainable to me.
It was like something I really wanted to do but I didn't have the instructions.
I was just trying to suggest it's not as impenetrable as I once thought it was.
I still don't think it's about will power.
Willpowers not much good when you're conflicted about what you want to do, or if you're being controlled by an addiction that defies logic.
Acceptance was far more powerful for me. Accepting that my relationship with alcoholic was toxic and dysfunctional and always would be.
It's also about action, which follows from acceptance. The first step is to stop drinking. The second is to seek support to stay stopped.
Don't let the seeming immenseness of the task stop you. It's a day by day thing - and even superheroes put their tights on one leg at a time
I think life's a lot simpler for us than it is in the Marvel Universe anyway. Less super villains for a start
