I think of this daily. I don't obsess over it but it's a passing thought. One of Robin Williams' stories stuck with me. He said he had been sober maybe 20 years when he went to Alaska to film a movie. He said he was in a bar,
literally in the middle of nowhere, in Alaska and thought why not?
I read an article recently called something like "10 reasons you are not ready for sobriety." I know the title is weird but I read it. Anyways, one of the reasons was "You have not felt enough pain yet." It helped me to realize that I had felt enough pain already to be totally okay with stopping.
