So, just because there was a craving for scotch it was just another feeling, it wasn't MY feeling. I didn't choose to have it, the same as the thoughts. I didn't choose to have the thought. In fact there is no way for me to choose whether or not to have a thought or a feeling. They come and go of their own. What is me is whether I choose to react to them or not. That's why I like RR so much as it fits right in with my world view.

Feelings come and go
like clouds in the sky,



I like what you said about not choosing thoughts and they come and go. When we think we are in control and that we are our urges, the urges then are our making and therefore our fault. However, acting on them is our choice.
