So obvoiusly i was always in control . My arm dosn't go up to my mouth by itself ever without me wanting to move it , it just kinda dangles .

I also noticed no-one had ever died from a craving , detox maybe but not craving , but had from taking drink and drugs. thefore i thought craving is something born out of our minds and thoughts as it has no physical manifestation , it's not hot , it's not cold , sharp , soft , rough .

Then my brain went on to negotiate with me , what if i lost my motor skills ? what if i lost my sight ? or hearing ? No no no NO was the answer .

I realized i need never drink again if i didn't want to and i haven't . Welcome to freedom .

Although i do try to make my sober life as glorious as possible , but to me that just seems sencible dosn't it ?
