If have in my head "not an option," (that is, no drinking, period, no matter what), then that settles it.
If I don't have a desire to drink, then yes, what a nice gift (I'll take it, thank you) but that doesn't mean the desire won't come back at some moment or period in my life. Awareness is key. The answer is always "not an option."
Any bargaining or consideration to drink is the AV. For me, it's blessed simplicity, and all I need in my hectic life (especially this time of year, lol!).
Wishing all a wonderful holiday season.
