You all are so positive! Thank you so much!
I do believe I can do this because there are times when my sister comes to visit for holidays and she's strongly against drinking. She knows I drink, but I think she believes that I've stopped.
But during the times she comes to visit, out of respect, and the fact that I spend most of my time with her, I don't drink.
I can go up to three weeks without drinking or even wanting to drink.
And when I had surgery and was prescribed pain killers, I didn't drink just because I didn't want to mix the alcohol with the medicine.
I know I can do it because I have before. I just don't know why it's so hard to do it now.
