Well, I practice all 3 of those as well, as I find them important in helping me build the kind of life I want. I guess the difference between you and I is why we do those things. I don't do them to keep me from drinking. I can't tie those conditions to my not drinking. You know why? If I do, then my mind finds all kinds of ways to push those things aside so that I can drink. "Buddhism is just mumbo jumbo. Therapy is too expensive. People suck...blahblahblah" says my AV. That's fine by me because the joke is on IT. Even if I did find any of those things to be true, drinking still wouldn't be an option. That allows me to go about my life peacefully and without fear that I'll someday drink again if the conditions aren't just so.

Different strokes I guess. I can't wrap my head around your way of thinking any more than you can around mine. It's all good though.
