This whole discussion reminds me a little of the jungle. Let's face it. When you're in recovery you're being stalked by a very clever cat- your addiction, your old "self". The scary part is that the jungle isn't on the outside nor is the normal cat. Both are within. So when you refer to "I", or "you", who is the "I"? Who is the "you"? Who am I writing or talking to right now. Who's there? Where are we? Are we in the jungle? Can we be sure something unexpected isn't about to happen? Dayover's post said that they had gone to a party determined not to drink, had no "craving" at all and yet something happened.
It's very tricky stuff. Doesn't hurt to be on your guard (assuming you know who "your" refers to). What happens in addiction is that the body takes over the brain. How can you be sure "who's" really in "control"?
