I think what Jazz (and Silkworth) are pointing out is that we shouldn't get bogged down in over-analyzing everything we do in sobriety and automatically equate those actions with our alcoholism. When I was first getting sober, every time I had a bad day, someone would point out that it was "dry drunk" behavior or my "alcoholism rearing it's head". Not being an expert in human psychology, I tended to believe every comment and it threw me into a deep depression.
Some of us can throw a baseball, some of us can't. Some of us like to read stories about pirates, some don't. This has nothing to do with alcoholism. And while it's certainly paramount to monitor ourselves and our conditions, we don't have to unnecessarily punish ourselves every time we spill a cup of coffee or take a wrong turn on the highway.
I think the passage shared by Jazzfish is very hopeful and can be helpful to many in recovery.
