Something in your original post sparked a thought that has been on my mind today. Motive. A key thing in my continually returning to drink was to re experience the good times of the past that alcohol once brought. It was a delusion. I could never recapture that feeling. New and better things have come along as a recovered alcoholic. My whole perception of the world has changed.
Absolutely concur on the delusion part. Absolutely. Starting my journey into sobriety, I thought it impossible to have a good time without alcohol. But I realise that was all a lie. Justification to keep drinking.
