Breaking the spell : advice asked
I'm determined to break this spell, so any feedback is appreciated.
Three questions:
1. What age did you manage to achieve sobriety?
2. What did you do to achieve it?
3. What do you do to maintain it?
I probably (should) know that I need support as I've failed solo. They say find mentors in what you want to be successful in, so I'm thinking of the AA route. It would possibly kill the isolation too which is probaby contributing to the slipping.
My problem is that I want to quit drinking for good, but then I just seem to suddenly change my mind. I've been trying to examine why. As a coping mechanism when I can't figure a personal problem out? Wallowing in isolation? Anger? Family issues and past issues. I spent too long at home during Christmas and felt I was carrying some emotional hangover that I couldn't shake off for weeks after. Never again.
I'd like to just break it once and for all.
