Hey Mike. Congrats on the 19 days. I can say from first hand expeirience that I too had "easy times" at first. For me, the mental obsession has returned at times. I have not given in (59 days today) but I am very active in recovery and definitely don't put myself in positions where alcohol is right in front of me. We're all different so I'm not saying your program won't work, I'm just saying "hang around a barber shop long enough and eventually you'll get a haircut"...
I guess what I am saying is I agree with Dee... You're doing so great on 19 days, just guard your recovery. I have had 19 days in the past and then gave in to the mental obsession and then drank for 3 more years continuously... Recovery can be so fragile and we're just one little slip up from a future we don't want...
Again, great job on the 19 days... Keep it going!
