I can relate to this. I tried by myself for years and watched me ruin one thing after another until one day I realized I was no longer in control and surrendered my problem to my higher power and let go of trying to do it myself, I turned it over. The problem was lifted. Never drunk again. Self talk and self will never got me anywhere.
Steps 1-3 are very powerful.
