Hi James. When I first tried to stop drinking I was dishonest with myself about my drinking. Part of my problem was I was undisciplined in living and wanted everything my way like a pouty child. When the inner pain got bad enough I was convinced my way wasn’t working at all and changes needed to come into my life. I/we don’t like change so I dragged my feet until the pain was unbearable and I surrendered to the fact that I cannot drink in safety.
Then the work began and slowly recovery was working IF I followed directions of those with some sober time. Today life is what I used to call a dream with mostly good things happening if I let them.
BE WELL
