Add to that the questions that I had to ask myself. Not saying these are all things other people need to do, but what I needed to do.

Are you willing to admit you have a problem to other people?
Are you willing to ask strangers for help?
Are you willing to accept help?
Are you willing to do things you don't want to do?
Are you willing to come out of your comfort zone?
Are you willing to change everything if that is what needs to be done?
Are you willing to honestly look at yourself?
Are you willing to let go of anger and resentment?
Are you willing to forgive the unforgivable?
Are you willing to re-try efforts that you were close-minded to in the past?
Are you willing to pick up the phone?
Are you willing to feel extremely unpleasant feelings?
Are you willing to admit you cannot now or ever control your drinking?
Are you willing to admit that the moderation ship has sailed?
Are you willing to not allow anyone or anything to "drive" you to drink?
Are you willing to stop making excuses?
Are you willing to face life on life's terms?

I could go on and on. Took me a while to be completely willing to stop drinking, as you can see. :~p
