at this moment in time I have to accept I cannot drink, which also means breaking my links with it in every way. By not pretending, by making it into a fancy glass etc, I need to break that way of thinking. I don't think for everyone its a bad way to go, and whatever works, but for me it would show me I wasn't ready to cut the drinking ties completely, which would be a warning a relapse is near. Not the same for all, just my opinion in my situation
