I'm not big on AA sayings but a few that I like are "sick and tired of being sick and tired" and "it takes what it takes"
Honestly realizing I'd had enough was a big moment for me. Not just saying that to myself after another screw-up but really feeling sick and tired of my drinking and all the problems.
I'd told myself for years that I would do something about my drinking. However, it wasn't until I could see myself headed for a crash landing that I actually decided to attend an AA meeting. I had run out of options. My relationship, work, money, appearance it was all a mess.
