Ghoster, you make plenty of sense. Unfortunately of the senseless. I am also a "fixer". Stubborn to a fault. Sure that I can fix or solve anything. I look for the cause and effect of any problem and isolate the solution.
Except for this addiction. It is illogical. Irrational. I could find a thousand "whys". I can see all it's dangers. But I couldn't execute the only solution logically, "don't drink".
I had to get out of my comfort zone. Accept that I cannot solve this alone. I cannot approach it the way I have approached everything else. I am learning to combat my addiction from obtuse angles. Think outside the box or not think at all. for me, that is the key. I am NOT always right. I still have learning to do.
I still believe you can do this. And everyone else too.
