Recovering from alcohol dependency is like trying to domesticate a starving wolf, let your guard down at the wrong second and it'll eat you alive.

In the past I drank heavily and often, these days I've limited it to bi-weekend benders and more recently; I'm working to send the beast back to the wild where it belongs, a parting of ways.

Remember, it's easy to think we're doing great after a sober stint and we all want to feel that way. Remember what brought you here in the first place, remember the hangovers and having to feed the need. I think true healing of the mind and body comes from consistently good thinking and decision making, so keep on keepin' on.

I'm glad to hear you're not thinking about it much any more, it's difficult for most people to reach such a state of mind. I don't know how long it's been for you, but if your thoughts and feelings of drinking are subsiding; I'd say that means you're headed in the right direction.

Keep your guard and spirit up.
