I'm not trying out a million different excuses in my head to get out of work tomorrow, and to justify getting the next bottle (which I will anyway, on autopilot and spend the whole of tomorrow hating myself)

Not weeping in my sleep
Not yearning over a liquor ad
Not hanging in a bar full of drunks

I'm not the way I used to be.
I'm not stupid.
I'm not a bad person.
I'm not worthless.

If I'm not careful, the crappy old thinkin can come back, so I need to remember to not get complacent.

I'm not ruining my life
I'm not ruining the lives of my family members
I'm not trying to tackle my problems alone
I'm not unique or different
I'm not spiritually dead
I'm not a zombie
I'm not worried that I'm going to do something completely out of character
I'm not dealing with the consequences of a messy night of drinking
I'm not holding my head in pain from a crushing hangover
I'm not vomiting in a pile of sawdust behind my garage
I'm not having new pictures, taken by my wife, of my passed out body in various locations
I'm not passing out, standing up in my driveway, with my head resting on the hood of my truck
I'm not being locked in the garage during the family christmas dinner because I'm attempting to fight every male in my family
I'm not going to court in the morning to explain what happened to the judge
I'm not buying a 6 pack to "get me through" the afternoon
I'm not drinking and driving
I'm not getting in trouble at work
I'm not being a dead beat father
I'm not threatening my wife in the middle of the night
I'm not the guy I used to be....

I wonder if, that fear of not fearing those lights ever goes away?

I still get a bit nervous when I see a cop car, but not afraid (unless I'm speeding)
