Sometimes, to overcome a block, some internal work is necessary, on the reticence, resistance, or fear.
Sometimes, like with a car with a dead battery, you need to push it to get going, and the forward motion recharges the battery.
How do you do that in recovery? Pretend you're someone who is willing and do what a willing person would do, instead of what you want to do. Eventually, you discover that are have become the willing person.
Which one do you try first? Doesn't matter. Try one, and if it fails, try the other. If that fails, try both, and continue trying both. Eventually something gives.
