The problem I faced about needing to want sobriety more than I want drinking, is that addiction can almost be defined as an ambivalence between those two choices. How to get to wanting it all the time when the addiction kept be switching back and forth.
I couldn't just sit around and wait for the "wanting sobriety more" to happen to me. What is the useful action that will bring about that change in mindset? For me, it helped to stop thinking in terms of drinking versus quitting, and start thinking in terms of consequences. Which consequences did I want and then which actions would get me there? I knew all to well what the consequences of my drinking were and I didn't want those. I had glimpses of the consequences of sobriety and I did want those. Regularly clarifying those consequences helped me tip the balance of wants toward quitting.
