For me, it scared the crap out of my beast when I made my BP. Too bad for the pathetic lying POS. IT only wants one thing and IT will never get it.
Never means never. It's not, one day at a time, It's not, just for today and it's not, I'll commit to 30, 90 (insert # of days/weeks). I will NEVER. Drove the PITA crazy when I made my BP.
For me? All of a sudden I understood why I always felt the devil was on my tail even when I had years and years of not drinking. Why I finally caved after so many years.
It was the night I came here, to SR, I found out about Rational Recovery and I am now recovered.
In all my years not drinking, and using a recovery group method, I never felt the freedom I have since making my BP.
