Thinking about what one wants with their whole soul, maybe it’s not a choice between sobriety and inebriation, but rather relief from whatever torment the alcoholic is trying to escape. Sobriety can be the result of that relief, if it is achieved authentically. Meaning, identifying the source of one’s demons and properly exorcising them. Interestingly, it seems that Jung would have disagreed, or perhaps he didn’t know how to facilitate that process.
