Thank you for elaborating. Seeing familiar information in another context, another story-wrapper, is helpful. All this resonates with me, though for other escapes than alcohol, and what finally tipped the scales to learning and practicing was The Blindboy Podcast, particularly the mental-health episodes where he covers CBT, transactional analysis, and how he handles anxiety. Thankfully for me, my family and personal history is similar enough to his (he seems careful to stay within the limits of his experience and knowledge). He also interviews people who know more than he shoes, like Sabrina Brennan and Paul Liknaitzky.
