If anyone here wants guidance or assistance in finding secular recovery resources for addiction of any sort, feel free to PM me. You don't need god to be good.
You only need to gather the will to stop. Sounds simple. It is not how it is. God ir no god you have to fight it yourself. A little help is needed ofc as support. Meh. What do I know?
Well, there are physiological responses to addiction and withdrawal that will can do nothing about. There are plenty of tools to help deal with those responses, plenty of avenues.
But in essence you're right. As a friend of mine at a sobriety forum says, "You have to want to be sober more than you want to be drunk."
