3. I guess my chemical need is gone for now. It just makes sense to me that 'having a drink' is a thought process that needs to be eliminated or pushed aside, with something productive or lazy to substitute for those thoughts.
4. There's still that six pack of 16oz ice brews sitting in the bag in the back of the suv. Why do I keep it there? As a backup? No, actually it's taken on a new life as a reminder - that if I open just ONE of them, then all SIX will be gone within two hours or so
