I did not Desperado...I tried many things, but a quote from a book I read when doing a sexual addiction study with a pastor friend seems relevant..
A man asked his pastor to pray for him that God would remove his obsession with sexual thoughts. The pastor replied he could not do that, because that meant God would have to take his brain out and replace it with a new brain
I found through much struggle, that I could not fix my 'sick' brain/mind with my own sick mind, and if there was a 'drug' that could 'fix' me, I would experiment with ways I could drink and take the medicine...such as..maybe if I take a dose with every drink, then I can drink as much as I want...
The solution to my Drinking Obsession/Craving was through the 12 Step Program of AA. It proved to be a DIRECT path to complete renewal of my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. AND, what is the most important thing I discovered, it renewed what was my spiritual bankruptcy, which was fueled by my Self-Will-Run-Riot, and my Instincts-Out-Of-Control and in conflict with everyone I interacted with.
