I was the original poster in this thread. I have been sober for quite a while now and I can say with great certainty that I cannot now, nor ever, drink like a normal person. The "itch" that I refereed to in earlier posts is much quieter now but its volume solely depends upon my health in that moment.
My life no longer revolves around drinking or not drinking but around living well.
I choose life.
I choose reality and all that it entails.
My only concern now is making each moment another decision towards loving each moment.
