That's a good start. I hated it too, but beneath that lurked the specter of my addiction. I hated alcohol, but I loved the way it calmed my obsession and cravings for it. I loved the way it relieved the need for the very need it created and put in me. Few other things have that affect on our species. It's an unthinking, un-plotting, substance of chemical simplicity. But it doesn't play fair. It plays a dirty trick and lures us into a trap while we aren't paying attention. It's a chemical ambush, and some of us can't find our way out of the trap.

The book Alcohol Explained is very good about explaining the powerful positive feedback loop, why and how to,errance happens, and why the propensity for turning back to sometching when our conscious KNOWS it’s bad for us now.

Thank you for the book recommendation! I will have to check that out.
After quitting for some time I went on vacation and blew it with liquor, beer, and lots of food. I feel terribly obese and unhealthy. My mind has cleared up somewhat and I’m able to focus again. Alcohol makes me the worst version of myself and knowing that must make me change. Staying responsible by posting here will hold me accountable.
