I would welcome that reminder myself.
Regardless of the method one chooses to remain sober, it is still a lifetime commitment. It ain't over till it's over. I have no doubt that in ten years I will be thinking I could enjoy a cold one after a round of golf. And I will have to correct my thinking on the spot.
This is true in some ways, L. Yet I don't subscribe to the past behavior is an indicator of future behavior credo as it applies here. In fact, in my limited understand of AVRT the truth is just the opposite. I must reiterate....just because others have started drinking again after using AVRT does not mean that I will. However, it is possible. I'm just not going to spend the rest of my life pondering that possibility, LOL!
Thanks for your insight.
