UGH!
I guess typing this will force a change in me somehow! 
Actually, you could be on to something here! So, hold that thought while I run it through the windmills of my mind a bit:
I've been reading on here about the
"fake til you make it" phenomonon. I really do think it's for real. In as plain as English as I can think of, it means if you start going through the motions of getting sober and living sober, even if your mind did not TOTALLY buy it at first, it will *eventually* catch on and this whole concept of SOBRIETY will start to make sense!!
I've also heard some people say: "If you're going to talk the talk you need to walk the walk." And, "actions speak louder than words." (IMO, talking, writing IS a type of action)
I really can't DISAGREE with either of those statements and see the merit there. But, the reality is that for a lot of us, we don't start to "wise up", like REALLY wise up until we do it for awhile.
