only you can make yourself really stop
it’s all mental..take control of your body
There’s not much science behind 12-step recovery because you endup becoming dependant on 12-step instead. It’s just a support group that can be used as a form of free psycho-therapy. If you use Recovery International now thats a different story. You don’t share any personal information that might of happened to you in the past which 12-steppers obssess about and use as an excuse to label themselves as alcoholics for the rest of their lives. Revealing your personal life can create a form of surrender to the group and can leave you vulnerable and attached. Alcoholism isn’t a deseise but it’s an addiction that leads to deseises. 12-steps relies on labeling you with scary catagories. Recovery International (free by the way) uses cognitive group therapy. There’s no spirituality involved and no sponsers to try to impress. It thrives on strengthening your Will to recover and not giving up your Will as with 12-steps. 12-steps has become a form of cult/society where they hookup each other even though they say they don’t.
Religion, psychiatry, medication, change of location, change of friends, new jobs, using only certain drugs, only going out on weekends, etc. are all things I have tried, and none of them worked. I couldn’t fix the problem because I was the problem. AA has been the only thing that has worked for me, but that’s not the case for everyone.
