It's not going to magically disappear, my friend. I hoped it would for many years, but apparently that is not how this thing works.
I'd venture to say the way to cut that ambivalence out of the heart of the thing is to replace it with an absolute, firm and unbreakable decision.

Well that's interesting. I am loaded with ambivalence.. in many aspects of my life. Not just alcohol but way more. Almost every big decision.

I wonder if I developed that as part of my addiction(s). Or vice-versa?

Food for thought..

Thanks for that interesting tidbit, O.
