My sobriety is early but I do not relish when my AV starts to chat at me with its own logic later down the line. I was not physically addicted nor did every glass of wine lead to a drunk...but what it came down to...I knew that I could not say for certain that it wouldn't. An embarrassing drunk that jeopardizes my safety (and that of others) and dignity could occur at any time. The only way I can control alcohol is by saying no. Once I have ingested it...it can have its way with me if it so desires. I have to admit that I will never be able to control something that has proven to control me time and time again...because it affects my BRAIN.
BUT I still only deal with the moment, situation and day at hand. I do not think or tell myself..never again...because that will rally the rebellion troops within.
