Thanks again @Pinkdog! I found the "four stages of readiness" is extremely helpful! And I want to share it here.
1. Compelled by authority.
2. Compliance to escape criticism.
3. Intellectual awareness of the need to change is when you know you should but remain stuck in excuse mode.
4. Mentally and emotionally self-motivated to proceed with the necessary change which means you are doing this for yourself and possess the drive to do so.
I just wish struggles of alcoholism and stustance addiction could go away like magic. But it just won't.
Fight!!! Never give in, if your choice is soberiety!
