The thing is though... dieting is easy. Put the fork down.  Quitting alcohol was easy. All i had to do was stop hurting myself and stop drinking alcohol.  What makes it hard is escaping the negative feedback loop. Probably not that popular of an opinion here on fph, but for me personaly, Jesus Christ is who saved me from my alcoholism. I probably would have ended up killing myself with alcohol, otherwise, or ruining my life. Either way
