How do people feel about interventions? [View all]

[bif]

My family did one on me about 5 1/2 years ago. I've been clean since then with no relapses. But for the longest time my attitude was, "You guys made me quit. It wasn't my decision." And I resented it. I finally got over it and now realize it's for the better in so many respects. But I think if I had made the decision myself. I would have gotten over it a lot sooner.

Even now, I'll check on the level in the vodka bottle, or look at an empty bottle of wine and say to myself, "Oh sure, it's okay for you to drink , but I can't." Eventually I'll get over that as well. Change doesn't happen overnight.

Thoughts?
