My first plan started with a hangover and I'm never doing that again. It went don't drink, don't drink, don't drink, drink. Over and over.
Then I got locked up and it was can't drink, can't drink, can't drink, drink.
Then it was go to AA, get a sponsor, work the steps, try and live by these new principles, try and get. Handle on this spritual stuff,and hey, I haven't drank, for 35 years and counting!
I found the right plan in the end, and it really was near the end.
