Try this one on for size too;
"Give up, give in, AND give it all you've got...."
Give Up fighting to try and prove you can find a way to live the life you really want and also keep drinking.....
Give In - to the notion that there are others who can help, programs that can guide you and support that will be required. Give In to the notion that it's not only OK - but essential to simply say "help me". Give In - to sobriety and embrace its promise and its possibility.
Then...
Give It All You've Got - by taking firm, committed actions to support a choice of a better life. Surround yourself with changes and actions that support and enable sober living. Give yourself to it....
And watch the magic happen.
