Hi humbug and welcome.
Some people make a choice to never drink again and never change their mind and that's pretty much it. The reminders come in any time they think about drinking. I'm a quick study and get that concept, but I'm slow at applying what I know to bettering myself so it took more.
Any way it works out for you, it was a great choice for you to come here. There's a wealth of wisdom, experience and perspectives here - all for the taking for those who are willing.
