My problem was I had a little bit of quit surrounded by a whole lot of inertia - I was scared of changing my life, scared of who sober me would be, scared of the work and effort I'd have to put in and continue to put in as a sober person, and deathly scared of hurting, physically and emoptionally.

I wanted my problem fixed without any pain and any effort at all from me (preferably so I could drink as much as I like and not suffer any of the bad stuff).

Step one of achieving escape velocity from Planet Procrasta was to accept that Desire was unrealistic impossible and untenable.

I had to accept change and I had to accept effort - and I had to accept it would hurt in the short term.

Ironically, while it did hurt, it actually hurt less than my drinking life.
