sokatie,
happy to report i don't think about drinking or not drinking. hasn't come up.
and i used to have similar suspicions, or fears, or cynicism, or actually ALL of those, about the people who were longterm sober and still around. why on earth had they gotten sober and not moved on?
by getting engaged with others, new and old, i had experiences that showed me that "moving on" is not equivalent to stopping engagement with others. right now, for example, i can share with you that yes, getting to the place of not thinking about drinking/not drinking is possible.
i hope that is of use to you, but i know it is of use to me to be able to offer that experience.
you see what i'm getting at?
part of getting there includes getting out of my own self-concerned head, and there are different paths for that. being here is one of them
