    ...If you do want to save your marriages, jobs etc, best you stop the pity and call it what it is and fight.
    Fight hard.
    It's a dirty fight but a fight for your life and comes with great rewards.
    Please believe me when I say this. I know it is all incredibly difficult and we don't always want to risk it but we have no choice....

    Hitting the brakes on backsliding requires much more energy than we put in for our achievements.

    An alcoholic who has stopped drinking can be just a “dry drunk” if mental attitude isn’t changed as well.

    "Positive liberty is self-mastery - the rule of the self, by the self. To have positive liberty is to take control of one's own mind; to be liberated from irrational fears and beliefs, from addictions, superstitions and all other forms of self-coercion..."

    Consequences on our acts are based on choice alone.
    Choose wisely, or it will be chosen for you.
