What I wanted was to change my desire…..I just wished I could desire less of it. I remember so desperately wanting to not want alcohol.

I was unhappy, exhausted, and uncomfortable with the direction my life was headed and my drinking was getting in the way of me making the changes I

I kept finding myself going to get that drink again, and again knowing how it was going to turn out.

I was frightened about so many things. Would I sleep at night, what would I do with my time, how would I keep friends, how would I relieve stress, how would I celebrate something amazing, who would console me when I was down. 

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

• The most dangerous weapon we use against ourselves on our journey to exit the drinking life
• How to use your past failures as a tool.
• Why you have a choice in whether having a drink is a tool or a weapon.
