How about the idea that you don't 'have' to be an alcoholic?
An idea I never really considered, I mean given every thing I thought I knew about addiction , that sentence didn't even make sense. But then I stumbled on SR and found out about AVRT/RR , great threads here on SR in the Secular Connections forum about those ideas.
I realized I didn't have to an alcoholic anymore or ever again. I could just Quit, for good, never drink again , the only thing that stopped me was the little voice in my head that said that was impossible. i learned how to 'hear' that voice and basically tell IT to go to hell, I was done , I had enough.
If you had enough , If you're done , believe that you definitely can be, you can put that bottle down , for good, no matter what, walk away , the only thing that says you can't is the little effing voice that has you convinced to believe IT, don't !
I think it's a great idea , hope it's a new for you and you use it.
wish you well and hope to see you around
