Real Change Requires Real Change

One woman, ten days abstinent, stated she dreaded relapse. She was under pressure to drink because there is drinking at her job and at social functions, which she did not want to give up. She did not have her priorities in order. If you do not eliminate factors people, places, and things -- conducive to drinking, risk of relapse is great. We make sacrifices when we realize that life is at stake. If you are reluctant to make changes to avoid a relapse, it is only because you have not realized how lethal addiction is. We must learn to put first things first.
