Thanks for the great post JBC! I really never looked at it as a morality issue for me, but in hindsite I finally understood it was a maturity issue which after further inspection was a morality issue. I knew drinking was wrong for me at that point, and any other mistakes I would make in my life due to drinking could no longer be blamed on the bottle, they were going to be blamed directly on me.
When that final realization came to me and I internalized it, drinking no longer became an option. The actions that I take daily for my personal program are not to keep me sober, but to keep me growing as a person and keep me content in a sober life.
Thank you again for the post!
