You're getting close. If you change the word "can" to "will", an amazing sense of completion and resolve will time warp you out of a worrisome tenuous in-recovery past into a wide open future as a common teetotaller. The Abstinence Commitment Effect.

This is the approach to recovery that has dominated the world for many centuries and still does. Within the last 200 years noisy businesses, professions, and religions aligning WITH the Addictive Voice might make it seem otherwise.
