As I have previously noted, that reasonable thought (it looks tasty) will be overwhelmed by my beast, but that doesn't mean I can't have thoughts about alcohol that don't originate with the beast.
A part of it probably is my point in my recovery. Being as I'm on all of day 15 I'm going to be a bit more cautious (brick headed?) about it than others are. Maybe I'm still trying to keep it very black and white for now and as time goes on I'll really remember that I live in a 3 dimensional world of color. For right now, for me, I'm going to try my best to ID my Beast as simply as possible.
