There is a way out Justin. The problem lies within ourselves though...no one can "make" you drink any more than they can make you quit. The key is to unconditionally accept that you can never, ever pick up that first drink....no matter what. If that means avoiding people who are drinking at first so be it.

It going to take hard work on your part too. You come with good intentions but don't follow through with your plans. YOU need to change that pattern. If that means going to aa 3 times a day every day at first, then so be it. If that means seeing a counselor, then so be it. Maybe it even means rehab...outpatient or inpatient?

No one is destined to drink...not even you.
