I got around to the idea of 'now' when I needed to pick a moment to quit, at some point or other. Would it be different or easier tomorrow or the day after that? It was more comfortable to think about it happening in the future (placating the AV), but I realized that at that future time, in my mind it still be 'now'. If 'now' was the only time I could do stop, why not 'right now'?
Now is the only point in time where things can happen, where things can change. So, I decided that during any present time, I won't drink. Of course, I can choose not to pick up as I write this, just as I can choose not to pick up at any other time. There you have it. Sig file attached for reference.
