Very well done, Steve. Congratulations to you on your decision to quit drinking. Feeling capable and stubborn is an excellent way to describe the attitudes that predict success. I believe that feeling confident in your ability to remain sober is the way forward, not twisting that hankie about 'what ifs'. It is only when we allow that voice of addiction to place doubts in our mind that we lose this feeling of determination.
I hope you keep posting - it is very encouraging for everyone to read another success story.
