This was a huge realization for me. One day I just realized that any requirement I had for sobriety would become an excuse to drink. It would be so easy to tell myself "I haven't done X for a week, better drink now." It just didn't make any sense to me.

Not drinking is a non event for me. What do I have to do? Nothing. What do I have to not do? Nothing. Drinking just doesn't exist in this space I call now.
