I remember the times I would say to someone, “I’ll try that”, with no intention of ever doing so.
Not only was this dishonest and noncomittal, I was continuing my habit of telling people what they wanted to hear – people pleasing.
Recovery is not a buffet filled with various dishes and desserts to try. In recovery there are only two dishes: Do or don’t.
Choose freedom, or choose jails, institutions, or death.
As the saying goes, I am either working on my recovery, or working on my relapse. There is no try. There is only do.
