A new friendliness towards life,  leads to waiting a new relationship with alcohol, but unfortunately, the habit gets in the way.
You may realize that you are not interested in the dramas and judgements of life anymore.
You are identifying with life in a new way, but alcohol isn't changing with you and it's won't.
The struggles come when you belive, this time will be different.
When you think the act of drinking will change, you set your self up for disappointment.
You have to know this time I"M DIFFERENT, so I don't need to drink.

What’s really in the way of changing your relationship to alcohol, is admitting you are a different person.
That what you once lived you don't anymore.
You must give yourself permission to change your identity if you want to change your life.

The reason there is so much conflict is because you keep trying to create something new in your life, but the identity associated with alcohol keeps over riding that.
