Actually, I was musing that over the course of 10 years I must have had some beast activity that I dealt with...doesn't seem possible to not have, but I don't recollect it.
In any event, I didn't have a conscious understanding of separation.
ps sidenote I love when people say wtf
and yes, I knew you knew about IEPs
Okay, if you're stating that during the course of that described 10 years you
did not have a conscious understanding of separation -- well then of course you would eventually return to drinking absolutely. My bad. I was sure you had suggested your understanding was up and down and at times ineffective, but that you did have one nonetheless. I simply could not except the suggested variations. I see now I misunderstood, since obviously we are in agreement. Isn't discourse a wonderful thing, lol.
Glad you and I worked this out to a mutual understanding, soberlicious.
