When I was drinking I refused to believe that what applies generally also applied to me specifically. If other people drank in the morning, drove drunk, drank at work, etc - that meant they had a problem. But that general rule didn't apply to me. I had it under control.
Then I got sober and I believed that what applied to me specifically applied to everyone generally. THIS is what I did to get sober, so THIS is what everyone needs to do to get sober.
I was wrong both times.
Keep it going!
