Amber Hollingsworth breaks down why willpower alone fails. People who change their social circles, physical spaces, and daily routines, and tell others about their goal, stay sober. Those who just decide to quit without changing anything almost always relapse.
What is the success rate of people try to stay sober on their own? It depends on what they try to stay sober. If they're saying, I'm going to get sober, and they make changes in their life that set that up in a really good way, like changing people places and things and telling people that they're staying sober, if they do a lot of the right things, then they have a pretty good chance. If they say, I'm going to do it on my own, but they literally, they're not going to tell anyone. They're not going to change anything about their routines or habits. They're just going to say, okay, I got this. I'm just going to stop. But nothing else changes. Not very good. Just doesn't work that way.
