My drinking is a lot better, I can do weeks of abstinence then suddenly it comes upon me, "yes, I could fancy a couple of wines" just as described the beast talking but I still find I cannot quit completely, is this ambivalence addiction and do I have to put into place extra effort and extreme willpower, need some advice, but will not stop trying.
Tomorrow I will attend an AA meeting for the 6th time this week. AA is one of the important reasons I am 1 year 6 months sober. The fellowship of AA is what works for me, the program not so much. However I am work step 4 and I discovered ambivalence, is my biggest character defect. I have rarely set goals or made commitments for the majority of my life. Now I wonder, am I "addicted" to ambivalence? Thanks for the thread.
