I hope your joy at 're-finding' your sobriety can create many feelings of euphoria as you continue to answer any and all thoughts of drinking with the simplest of simple answers.
I never drink alcohol now
I remember my BP with such fascinated feelings and cemented my learning of AVRT over the course of the first week and every time any thought enters my mind the answer is always the same.
Sometimes this is uncomfortable and I find it hard to remember the doom and gloom I felt at times when I used to drink problematically or the tape won't play anything except fun and happy times I had (drinking involved) so I then distract my thought process by physically DOING something and replacing those AV images with other thoughts and plans
to stop the beast when IT is annoying I concentrate on NOW
no thoughts of the future which may cause anxiety
No 'memories' from the past which can affect mood
BE HERE NOW
The present is a gift, use it wisely
Thanks to Jess, GT, FreshStart, MesaMan, TU and all the wonderful, insightful people here at SR for your amazing support and dedication to your own sobriety and others' journeys in sobriety, the maintenance of helping others also helps others in turn.

Driving my wagon of hope through beautiful views on my road to myself
