For years I had no control over myself with alcohol. You are on the right path with SR. You are posting (writing). Writing is therapy. It's letting yourself hear/read your own thoughts. I'm a terrible speller and have to read my posts a couple of times to catch errors. When I do this, it's almost like I'm on the outside looking in. I end up being this other person that can make adjustments to my own life. This is powerful for me, it helps me "see". What finally made me "see" was talking to myself about where I was, what I liked, what I didn't like and how I would quit. The final decision to quit will take a split second. In the mean time, gather all the ammo you can so that when the fight comes, you'll be armed. The tricks I used to quit and stay sober, were my own. I know myself better than anyone else on earth. I used my own weaknesses and strengths. Like drawing up a battlefield, I had a plan and I went for it. I had nothing to lose, I had quit before. I was a pro at quitting. This time, thank God, it worked!
