Perhaps I should rephrase - I meant I don't think I'll ever completely eliminate "thoughts" of drinking 100%. I just at times remember and associate certain events with having a cold beer. I doubt anything will ever completely erase those from my brain because so much of my life involved drinking - that will never change.
Having said that I'm not sad at all contrary to what you might believe, and the thoughts I have are completely manageable and i have no problem with them.
