I accepted the fact I was an alcoholic, and it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders. I knuckled down and did everything I was told to do. But believe me, there’s no silver bullet. You’re not given a special non-drinking tablet that stops you from craving alcohol. No, that is something you have to work at yourself, one step at a time.
