All of these triggers that I'm having and all of these urges and cravings are related to something in my belief system, and unless I fix that, it doesn't matter how much willpower I use to not drink, I will be suffering this torture of cravings and urges, because I still think the solution is just in a bottle over there.
Imagine being a school principal by day and a high-functioning alcoholic by night. That was Mark Holmes' reality for over thirty years.
