Yes, I guess you are right. I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that applies to me. I was in denial for so long. I don't presently follow a program. I just don't really understand the programs. I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day in college and quit and it was hell. But, I got over it and now don't smoke. I guess I thought drinking would be the same. I'm reading and learning that programs are essential when it comes to quitting drinking, though.
