"Kick it in the mouth"
Stand up comic Rob Delaney, sober for 11 years:
"I know a lot of sober alcoholics and addicts and I can’t name one who examined their disastrous life one day and thought 'Enough of this nonsense' and then got and stayed sober after one try..... Addiction is a brutal, cunning, shapeshifting enemy, but I’ve seen people from every walk of life kick it in the f##ing mouth. But if you want to beat it, you must ACKNOWLEDGE ITS STRENGTH and work out in your basement every day, including weekends and holidays, and then when you encounter it on a country road or a city street corner or a weekend barbecue or a subway platform, beat its f##king skull in before it gets the chance to do the same to you."
Pretty colorful, but very well said, I think.
