I want to be a normal non-drinker, but I'd also like to be normal not thinking about the damn topic all the time. Just wondering.
I’m only just over one year and four months sober, after twenty years drinking every single day, the last five of which, sadly, started by drinking in the morning.
Happily, after stopping drinking, the ONLY time (almost, I did have a sneaky AV thought at the pub, post choir singing on Christmas Eve, then before that last summer, whilst sailing, oh and the inbetween one, when celebrating ) but they’re just habituated neural pathway loops!
Sorry, lost my track...but the only time ‘I’ think about drinking, is when I read and post on SR, and I hope that others, like me, and other SRers can put the AV forvever, in the rear- view mirror.
