I remember the lure of alcohol. At 2 1/2 years out, it still sneaks up on me occasionally. What works for me is to acknowledge the urge, "Yes, you can drink if you want to." Then I play it out in my mind, and it never ends well. Are you analytical? Make a list of pros and cons of drinking, short and long term. Are you more on the emotional side? Think about all of the feelings you have before, during and after drinking, or how your actions affect the feelings of your loved ones. Getting sober is hard. Staying sober is sometimes hard. For me, the alternative is unacceptable...but I do have to stay vigilant. You can do it too!
