Sure.
its part of what AAers call the mental obsession. For me it got to auto pilot..suddenly I had a beer in my hand.
How to you beat it - for me, lots of support - and a willingness to use it before you drink.
I stayed glued to SR for a long time - the community here talked me down a fair few nights..
I also needed a determination to change my mind.
Decisions made to drink
can be unmade...if you've never done that it doesn't mean it's impossible - just means you haven't done that yet.
One day not too far into recovery I had an awful day. I floated out the door in a daze and bought a bottle.
I 'came to' on the way back and dumped that bottle,
Mind changed. No more auto pilot since then.
you can do this Cuckoo - think about what you're doing for your recovery and what you could add.
