Your post resonates with me.

I am just shy of 130 days now, and I too find myself daydreaming of those bygone moments of peaceful bliss, sharing a drink or two with my girlfriend on a sunny patio. Those are the memories that are easy to relive. And yes, I do let them test my commitment to abstain as well.

I have to keep reminding myself that not all memories of drinking are quite so rosy. And for every one good memory of the drink, there are 10 that are not-so-good.

I've come to believe that my good memories are more about the setting and the company... rather than the contents of the cup I was sipping on.

We humans are funny that way though. We test our resolve (intentionally or not) in all sorts of ways. ;-)

Congrats on the 100+ days MarathonMan. A milestone indeed!
