Excellent job, Feeling! You sound very positive and excited about sobriety; attitude is important. I 'play the tape' too when I feel cravings (which are far less than they were 18 months ago on the 23rd for me-it really does get easier) and that gives me time to think of the consequences before the action. The last time I drank I wrecked my car and nearly killed myself so all I need to do is think back to what I remember of that night-- which is quite a bit, considering how impaired I was--and ask myself if I want to risk my self-respect and life and limb for nothing. It's not worth it to me. Sobriety rocks. I wish you all the best; SR is a great place for advice and support. Stay close.
