Adrenaline and will would definitely not sustain me. And....using those would be infinitely more taxing, exhausting, and unfulfilling than having a program, spiritual and people support and a new way of living. The life I have? It is joyful and peaceful and calm most of the time and I have tools to deal with life as it comes in.
