The faith I speak about is the leap of faith to believe you can deny addiction , no matter what it is telling you.
Like not touching the hot stove I didn’t need faith to believe that cutting booze out my life would lead to a better life.
I just needed to stop listening to the AV telling me I would/could not actually do it.
IT almost had me convinced I was constitutionally unable to actually literally stop , for good, once and for all. Which in semi-self defense kind of way was seemingly believable , sort of, based on the amount of times I thought I should but just never got there, never made it stick. That almost seemed like evidence . Until I realized all it meant was that I never actually made the decision , not that I couldn’t make the decision , just that I hadn’t , until I did.
I’ve leapt , I know I will never drink again and never change my mind, it isn’t an article of faith in the sense of hoping for the outcome , I can guarantee the outcome. Everyone can.
