The old saying is true: You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. It's the same with addiction and recovery. People can take away our drugs and put us in treatment, but no one can make us clean and sober.
When it hurts enough, when we're scared enough, when we're sick and tired enough, when we've lost enough, then we'll begin to change. But we have to want to change. It's the key.
What am I willing to do to recover?
Higher Power, help me to want what I need, to want what is best for me.

Hello Quetzal,It never works when another person tries to get another Sober. We have to want it and want it bad enough that we are willing to go to any length.I use to get clean and sober for so many wrong reasons. Until one day it hit me, I have to want it for me, not for anyone or anything else.. Good post here.. Thank you.. Cody
