" I will never drink in the present moment" is a concept I use/used and realize I have the power to maintain. My BP created the separation necessary to end the addiction. I have arbitrarily accepted the idea that 'alcohol' has no power over me,physical proximity doesn't/won't shake that confidence. I have poured wine and bourbon , served open beers to guests , the physical sensations of handling alcoholic beverages can be/are welcome 'shifting' exercises, I fully accept the concept that nothing can 'make' me drink.
The usual companion phrase attached to a BP is the one that 'feels' scarier. " I will never change my mind", but any doubt is the AV and therefore separable and dismissed, but still that it is , the rub. Not mentioning it doesn't make it less of a rub.
