Realization
On one specific day in Australia, Clapton was alone in his hotel room, which was a rare occurrence for him. He was alone with his thoughts, his misery, and his sorrow. He was alone with himself. This was the point at which he knew he needed to return for treatment, not only for himself but also for Conor at this point. A positive relationship with his son, one in which they could bond rather than one in which he was focused on his next drink, was something he aspired to achieve.
Realization
Return To Hazelden
While it felt familiar in the sense that he was returning to confront his drinking demons, there were several variations between this time and the previous. He was completely awake this time, although the prior time he may have been concerned about what had brought him to this location. He attempted, but ultimately failed, to curb his drinking. He required assistance as well as a significant adjustment in his way of living.
