I am certain, because this is his calling, that Dalek is trying to lead you to the point where you can see that you will quit, dammit, no matter what. You will never drink again, no matter what happens. You quit, because you simply have chosen for good to never drink. Done. Question posed and answered.

Our program friends don't like this, but a study of tens of thousands of American drinkers over a period of time showed that almost all (75%) quit without any program whatsoever. No groups, no meetings, no steps, no programs. One step is all that is needed. I know you can do it too.
