I get there's a part of you that wants to drink. Welcome to the club.
Every one of us has felt like that.
Recovery's about wanting to change that - but it's also about doing the things necessary to change that
Trust isn't really an issue.
You'll get out of your recovery exactly what you put into it Paul.

I don't entirely get this. When it comes to promises, trust is the issue. I do not want to promise that I will never drink again and drink two days or 10 days later. I just do not believe in "promises". I believe in action. I can promise every day that I will never drink a sip of alcohol in my life, but I can also promise that I will probably break that promise. So what is the point? I want to develop a mentality that doesn't want to drink, not forces myself not to drink.
And I have really enjoyed my "recovery" so far because I have put a lot in to it.
