Thoughts are just thoughts, it's actions that matter.
But for me, I've understood for a long time that complacency is my enemy, not my AV/A/reptile/etc. The notion that, one day in the foggy future that is beyond the range of my crystal ball, I might think "what the hell, I wonder what this will do to me" or something similar, and take a drink. Which is why I still convene a weekly support group meeting, go to my old medical treatment program walk-in group a couple times a year to say hi, and hang out in places like this - not because I need it to stay sober, but to try to give something back
and so I don't forget.
