I need support to work out all the stuff that's underneath my compulsion to drink, but when it comes to physically going to the liquor store, and physically opening that bottle and pouring that drink.. it's up to me to use restraint.
This was a tough pill for me to swallow but I couldn't move forward while I was still at the mercy of the addictive voice that says "it's not my fault I can't stop, after all I am an addict". That is how it gets what it wants. The voice is silenced when you refuse to let it control you.
