Hey K ,
it was Robby Robot who used to mention about apathy to our own addiction . It's an idea i've seen played out.
Thinking myself sober wasnt useful, doing sobriety ahh then something happens ...
I can write a book explaining how to cycle a bike , you can read it but you still wouldnt be able to ride a bike .. sobriety , in my experience is something we've got to practaice and do to become skillful .
Other people, books, knowledge can guide and illuminate, even show us how not to do something but the doing , we got to own that ourselves and fight the apathy .
