what i remind myself is that alcoholism is a physical disease. so no matter how great i feel emotionally, psychologically, etc. my body will not tolerate alcohol and once i introduce it to my system the physical addiction cycle kicks in again.

i hope you do what is best for you even if you don't like the medicine or treatment.
