I couldn't work out why I couldn't stop drinking - but my life was all about drinking - drinking with friends,drinking at home, drinking to celebrate, drinking to commiserate, drinking cos I was bored or sick or angry.

I put a monumental effort into drinking as much as I wanted.

I finally worked out I had to put at least the same amount of effort into not drinking.

Try and write down what you're doing to not drink.

If you're still drinking, whatever you put down doesn't appear to be enough, Stable.

You've been spinning your wheels for a lot of months now.
Its been pretty painful to watch man - it must be all the more painful to live it.

What else can you do? what can you add to help you get sober and stay that way?
