We all know a hopeless drunk who doesn’t seem to want to better themselves.
We all know a hopeful drunk who does.
We all know someone who is searching for the right path to sobriety.
We all know someone who is following the path and learning the route.
We all know someone who is sober but believes it has to be a lifelong struggle.
And you know at least me that has got to the Holy Grail of freedom in sobriety.

So you have at least six choices when it comes to over-drinking (or over-anything).
Six potentials.
Six realities that you can choose.
What are you choosing?

If you have a look at the picture below of the lanes of traffic; to have a safe and effortless journey you have to choose a lane to drive in, right?

We all know that!
So why don’t we apply it to the decisions that we make.
Why would we say,

“I want to stop drinking”

And then allow a voice in our heads to say,

“Go on have just one”

When we know full well that the ‘just one’ leads to the ‘just the whole bottle’.

It’s like driving in between two lanes of traffic, with two wheels in each lane, not committing to either one:
AND WE WONDER WHY WE ARE STRUGGLING!

Freedom in Sobriety is all about full commitment to the decision to be sober.
No doubt.
No second guessing.
Both wheels / feet.
COMMITMENT.
And it is ONLY with full commitment that FREEDOM can open up.
And dare I say it, it becomes easy….

“Thank you and thank you for creating this unique and life changing program. Picking up the phone that day to call you was one of the best decisions of my life and my soul knew that if I did, that would be it. I never told you this before but the first time I came across your writing , a few years ago, it blew me away. I thought “that woman speaks out the truth , with ease” and I emailed you straight away to say loved that writing and you said then that you had done this journey and wanted to help others do the same. I think you had just recently got Inner Guidance…. So for me Jo De Rosa represented truth, but apart from a months break from alcohol , I wasn’t ready for your world , but I friggin am ready NOW. The only thing I needed to do was quit the bloody alcohol, the rest will follow and I don’t know why it took so long.. I pushed it to my limit, till my soul said enough and gave me an emotional drunken meltdown that would scare me so much , it was this path or the other one… At that point it’s quite easy , once you choose and I was always going to come back to my soul… I am so glad that part of my life is done and lessons learnt and I am here with you.. You are truth to me and to me truth is a deepest value and deepest respect, which I have for you and this program… So from my soul to your soul please feel the friday night love of truth xxx Can’t beat it.”
