I guess all you really have to do is think about the quote you have. It says a lot about how we can deal with the present situation before us. In your case you want to stop thinking about drinking. I suppose it would be a good thing to do what the quote says and really contemplate. Contemplate why you are thinking about drinking. I know that lingering mind set is hard to beat but I think it's too much to say you are your own downfall. Whenever I think those thoughts it makes me feel like I have a reason to drink. But you did say you are proud, strong and feel good. You may want to consider adding courageous to that list. It seems like a battle, I agree, but in reality it's a way of life we have to get used to.
