I don't know about you....
But I found that my brain told me to drink because I conditioned it thus.
From an early age, I discovered escape, empowerment, 'bliss' in alcohol and then in drugs and ultimately in both.
My brain was programmed - by me and my own aversion of emotions and of the stuff of life - over time. Eventually, I so fully programmed my brain that I didn't really even notice it was telling me.... I just did....
Then I finally came to enough pain and anguish in my life that I was able to make a choice; that I wanted to live differently.
From there, I was able to learn to see my addicted brain at work. I became able to make different choices. To see that I didn't have to allow that part of my brain to control me.
I was able, over time, to reprogram my brain.
And thus did I reinvigorate, renew and replenish my life.
