Acceptance worked better than willpower for me NL cos part of my will wanted to drink.
I think if you accept that drinking is no longer a viable option, and instead of drink next time you turn to whatever other strategies for coping that you have (or find some if you have none) you're well on the way to lasting recovery
As for being worth it Vic...if you truly treasure yourself - if you think of body and mind as a temple - it's very hard to then deliberately 'wreck the temple' by poisoning ourselves
If you're not quite sure you can 'buy' that line of reasoning yet...act like you do.
I badly needed a parent and I was the only bloke with the right insight, patience, and calling myself out on my own BS type qualifications for the job...
After all, the worst case scenario is we might miss out on a few benders?
