I can say that I really don't even think about whether I will drink or not anymore really. Sure, when I'm here on SR I do remind myself of why I'm here and I still find value in interacting with newcomers and learning about addiction in general. But for the rest of the day, I honestly don't even think about alcohol or drinking - or NOT drinking at all. It simply doesn't even register with my concious mind.
Think you nailed it - might just be as simple as "acceptance" - which was not simple for me, or many of us, to get to.
Thanks for your input all these years. Always straight forward, sometimes the tough honesty that's required, and on point.
