That might be true, but they're just thoughts-- no big deal. I agree that any more drinking would be a betrayal, there's no doubt about that.
As a practical matter, as long as I don't drink, I don't really care how I feel about it.
I'm going about all my regular stuff too, keeping busy and staying fit; it's all good.
I'm definitely not stuck, even though the drinking thoughts sometimes become cumbersome.
In time, they'll become less frequent.
And if they don't, I still won't drink.
