We have a solution. What's the solution? Surrender to the system and follow-through with action.
It necessarily works, because part of the system is relinquishing the right to make one's own decisions.
Part of the system is relinquishing the right to drink.
To distract us, there are actions. Forever.
In the moment of slipping, we do indeed slip: the precise manner of resuming drinking and the precise timing cannot be predicted.
But the fact of slipping can be.
Prophesied, is the word.
If you walk on thin ice, it will break and you will fall through.
When, where, how? Uncertain.
You might be jumping up and down to make it crack, or you might be skating.
But you will fall through at some point.
The question is this: why are you walking on thin ice?
What is walking on thin ice?
Not giving up the ghost and simply following orders.
Taking back control and assuming the role of highest authority.
Every slip is preceded by the planned resumption of stewardship of one's life.
