I have about two cases of wine left in my house. It's not a temptation. When I was in rehab my counselor insisted I have an advance team take the wine out of my house before I got home. There was a big hassle at my checkout and it didn't happen. When I got home I realized that I had absolutely no desire to drink any of it, so I've gradually been giving it away and serving it to guests.
However, I couldn't be anywhere near an open bottle of hard liquor for nearly a year. I realized I was over that about 11 months after my sober date when I was in the Coachella house in April 2018 and there were bottles of booze everywhere. as well as molly or coke if I'd asked. I woke up the first morning and was at eye level with this huge bottle of Grey Goose vodka, and thought 'I could have a shot of that and nobody would know." I gagged at the thought and then laughed because I absolutely did NOT want any of it!
I needed to get sober time behind me and a lot of cognitive work in outpatient rehab first. At this point there's no question that I will never drink again.
