Addiction is a prison without locks, because the exit cannot be seen from within the bubble of addiction. If you listen carefully to that voice in your head — the one that says
"never say never to the possible future use of alcohol" — it will reveal precisely how to escape from the prison. You simply do the exact opposite of what that voice says, and say never to any possible future use of alcohol.
