I'm like a few others here - I have it around, only because my husband enjoys a few beers now and then - he's a normie. I decided a year ago when I quit, that I wasn't going to give up my entire lifestyle. It wasn't realistic to expect my husband or friends to never have a drink in my presence. I also didn't want to stop going to the places I enjoyed - living in a resort town, there's a bar/restaurant/nightclub on every corner. I'm around it all the time, & if it was a temptation & I wasn't determined enough to not touch it, I'd have to move to another town - & that's not feasible.

Having said that, the safest and sanest thing is to not have it around. There could come the day when you're tempted & don't have the strength to resist. If there's even the slightest chance of that happening, then get it outta there.
