Long Term Recovery and Work-Ethic/Laziness
Has anyone noticed a correlation between long term recovery from alcohol, and work ethic?
I've become apathetic, and a bit depressed over the years, and found that those mental faults are contributing to my *tick* to pick up a drink.
The main cause of my relapses is apathy. I just stop caring, and drink. The question is, if you've built up a strong work ethic of getting up and doing things, even if you feel horrible, has that helped in your endeavors to remain sober?
I used to be a go get-er, but have slowly diminished into someone that spends a good amount of time in bed, mainly due to booze. Have you found that strong will and work-ethic has helped you in situations where being stubborn has kept you from a potential relapse? I have it sometimes, and don't at others.
