I never looked at it like that before Nonsensical. I always just looked at the "stop pouring it in your face" bit and stopped at that. Or more realistically, stop for a bit and started again.
But I suppose it has to become a whole new way of life. Just as when I first started to drink problematically, that became a whole new way of life and the way of life where drink didn't matter that much to me faded away.
You have given me something to think about Nonsensical, thanks for your support.
