Are you committed to sobriety? 100%?
Or are you still in negotiations with your addiction?
Definitely committed. I was just using that to kind of explain what has gone wrong for me in the past and what goes on in my brain around day 4. But this time I know it's not true and it's not about being "cured" it's about reclaiming my good life without being dragged down by feeling like crap, looking like crap, and regret.
