Yes I think its is exactly what you said. For some reason it is hard for me to remain in one definitive state of mind considering the state of my life at the time. At the beginning, when i was at my lowest i was convinced i could never drink again and the slowly my mind started to change towards "thats ********, what harm can one drink do to me" as my life started to get back on its feet. How can i stay convince? how do you stay convinced?
