Be assured, the patient's prognosis is positive, recovering without complication and will be living more comfortably.
The repair of my marriage, however, will be considerably more difficult.
Coming this October.. the corpse of Michael Jackson is resurrected from a scale model of Neverland Ranch, itching to once again allegedly participate in questionable activity with minors in: Jesusjuice!

Hi, I'm head pants now, and I'm an addict. [Hi.]
Admitting defeat means acknowledging your incapacity to drink/use successfully, and that use of mind or mood altering drugs has caused unmanageability in your life in whatever form. "Defeat" is the admission that the mental (in the form of obsession and compulsion) and/or physical (withdrawal) allergic reaction to a substance is stronger than your own willpower alone. This admission is different for everyone depending on their definition of unmanageability and their tolerance of pain. When we admit we are defeated, I take that as meaning we admit we MIGHT need help from other people who have experience with the same problem. That's it. It works for some, it doesn't for others. Just like any other church/cult/group therapy/entertainment blog.
These are my personal views and do not represent AA or NA or any other A group. But I've had personal experience here and thought I'd chime in.
