KiR is merely being overly dramatic. While it is true that he needs to refocus his attention to less self destructive behaviors. These grandiose public declarations and loudly broadcast personal goals have proven to be self defeating and simply add to the depression and self loathing that occur upon each relapse and makes recovery more and more difficult.
But it is dramatic - it's a rebirth, and the end of an era. Seems pretty dramatic to me. I never experienced self-loathing when I fell off the wagon - I had justified my consumption as being ok - that's why I fell off. It hasn't been getting harder to quit, it's been getting easier, as I become more practiced.
