Beautifully put. I'm more than three years in, and the thought of a drink still crosses my mind from time to time, especially in moments of extreme frustration or stress. But simply being aware of it—expecting it, like the occasional storm—sapped it of much of its power. I assume it will happen, so when it does, I recognize it immediately, before it has a chance to draw me into an internal debate.
So ForMeForThem, I guess my point is that I think in a way this was a really good milestone for you. The next one will be even easier to handle, because it won't take you by surprise. You're five months and cruising strong!
