The first two made sense but the second two seemed to wander. Is it help, help only in the form of support or just a pat on the back saying everything's going to be ok that you're looking for?

If it's help, that I can provide. If it's support, then that'll be contingent upon your actions. I think you'll find lots of support of healthy life choices but, I hope, not much support for bad practices.

And like the support above, whether it's going to be ok is also contingent upon your actions. I've seen recovery alive and well in the worst low-bottom cases. I've also seen alcoholism alive and well in high-bottom "functioning" alkies - yours truly was one of them for quite a while.

Taking actions that are in line with recovery will pay benefits - good benefits. Taking action, or the lack of action, that's in line with feeding your alcoholism will pay benefits too - only they don't feel quite so good.
