I would like to elborate on what Dee said about the idea of changing "everything".
Everything must be relative. House? Location? Friends? Family? Habits? Some things cannot be changed.
Sometimes everything includes parts of us in that mix. Ways we think.
The intent of changing everything is that we must be willing to put everything on the line for this change. Nothing off limits. Not trade everything in for this change. Trading in the patterns we established that support our drinking.
In those patterns will be people, places and things that will have to go over board. Like we need to dig everything about the cancer out of our being. There will be many good parts and healthy parts of what remains. But all of what supports this cancer must go. What we see as vital organs and all. There are other ways to survive and grow again.
That's my take.
