If you find yourself cycling through intoxication and incarceration, I urge you to consider the following.
There are 12-step programs for every addiction or compulsion, but the best advice is given by the men who first developed the steps that led to their own lasting sobriety:
“Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like, what happened, and what we are like now. If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it — then you are ready to take certain steps.” — quoted from the Big Book “Alcoholics Anonymous“. Please read or listen to the full explanation found below, and in any case, please consider joining one of the groups listed below.
