Amanda: Recovery is so courageous and nonsensically faithful and wild because it is deciding, with no evidence, to live without something that you cannot live without. The reason you’re so worried about your drinking is because you know you can’t stop drinking. The reason you need to live without it is because you can’t live without it. And so you’re just deciding: Okay, I’m going to do that thing that I cannot do. That’s the miracle of it. It’s the biggest act of faith.
