It doesn't give me the immediate sensation of wanting a drink. However, sometimes I read someone else's post about how bad their drinking was, and it plants this seed in my head, "Well, I'm not THAT bad. I'm not a REAL alcoholic like that guy. I still have SOME control."
I remember having the same thoughts as I listened to the stories at my first AA meeting some 20+ years ago. My drinking is much worse now than it was then. I can see now that if I don't stop it will continue to get worse. I don't really want to be the guy with the worst ever alcoholic stories on Sober Recovery.
