Not every technique works for everyone Prof. I went to ridiculous lengths to have other strategies to turn to besides drinking tho, cos I knew I'd need them.
Its hard to change when you can be persuaded (by yourself) to have one more try to make drinking work.
Fear kept me drinking for a long time. Do you fear discomfort, or fear feelings, or fear who sober you might be, or that this might be as good as sobriety gets?
I feared all those things and more. But I knew drinking would kill me, from the inside out.
Not drinking was the only thing I had left to try.
The important thing is...you're back
