"I shouldn't drink"
"I cant' stop"
"I need to stop"

These phrases are common among alcoholics of my type. We know these things long before we stop.

The missing phrase is "I desperately WANT to stop, and am willing to do anything to accomplish this"
If you really want to stop, then we can help you find a way.
