How about it?! I was blown away by the straight forward in, your face approach.
Looking back I see how even though I explicitly rejected the disease model of addiction, I implicitly excepted the fundamentals on which it is based and how this acceptance worked against any motivation to 'really' try and quit. I allowed myself to use the idea that, at some level for whatever reason it wasn't 'really' my fault, something was driving it (the continued addiction). It blocked me from seeing that to stop what I had to do was stop. Just stop, it seems crazy to think that it is that 'simple' but in essence, it is.
Committing to staying stopped is obviously the key, but realising that the entire process is self achieved and self directed is liberating, to say the least.
Onward!
