It all became much easier when I stopped fighting and instead started embracing.
Embracing sobriety instead of fighting alcohol.
Embracing tools and support instead of fighting to manage on my own.
Embracing a connection to a higher power (not "God" in my case) with a willingness to ask for help and a willingness to see that something greater than myself might help instead of fighting the "God" thing.
Embracing the image of a life without alcohol as a goal instead of fighting images of the 'loss' of my life with alcohol.
You can.....
