Chapter 8: Deconstructing the Addiction

In the interest of honesty, I will forewarn you of my intention to use a sneaky persuasion technique on you called a 'presupposition.' Salesmen use these types of questions to appear to be offering you a choice when, in fact, all the responses serve the same purpose. A good example of a presupposition that might have been used on you, perhaps unwittingly, as a young child by your parents would be, ‘Do you want to go to bed now or in ten minutes' time?’ The question appears to give you the luxury of a choice, but all outcomes result in the same thing — you in bed within ten minutes.

My sneaky question to you is: do you want to stop drinking completely or just cut down a bit and repeat this process every time you lose control again until you stop? Obviously, I am trying to gently push you in the direction I know you should go, and despite telling you the option to cut down has repeated failure built into it, your ego still thinks it is in control and can handle anything. Be certain of this: your ego doesn't want you to stop drinking because it predicts that will result in pain/fear in the future.

I know many readers would prefer to cut down rather than stop, but the only logical solution is for you to step out of the mousetrap and never get back in. If you are dependent on alcohol and you don't want to stop, you have not quite grasped the problem. If a heroin addict came up to you and said, ‘I have decided to only use drugs on a Tuesday and never any other day,’ how confident are you that if you bumped into them again in a year's time that would be still the case? Alcoholism is a binary condition; it is either on or off. You can't be a little bit alcoholic in the same way you can't be a little bit pregnant!

You may need to read this book over and over before you get to this point and your decision is in harmony with my advice. Quitting completely really is the best option for you, but you must come to that decision on your own. You can't be convinced by me, your family, or friends, and nobody can order you to take this stance. It has to come deep from within you. If you don't currently feel that you are still at the point where you believe you can control the situation, or that you enjoy it too much to stop completely, don't panic or beat yourself up too much.
