The smell of wine makes me absolutely sick now. That is pretty much my reaction with any kind of alcoholic drink and the smell of it, I feel sick rather than cravings.

The weird thing is that about 20 months later, sometimes I still have 'flashbacks', I really think I can smell alcohol when there is none, sometimes there's even almost a taste, out of nowhere. It doesn't last long, but it's kind of like a faint aftershadow/trace/imprint of the addiction. Alcohol addiction seems pretty complicated, I think it even involves a lot in our sense/emotional memory. I like to think I've left it behind, in many ways I have, but I guess part of my 'makeup' is still an alcoholic and I will always have to exercise caution and awareness about it.
