I'm on day 173 (just had to check there!) and I often have thoughts about drinking in the future.

I rationalize this by knowing I don't ever want to drink NOW, and as long as this continues I will never drink...I genuinely do not want to drink, there isn't any will power involved for me, the 'ME' in me does not want a drink.

I also accept I was 20 years a drunk and I don't expect the addiction or habit to die off easily. Of course I still think about it, like I think about sports I used to play and people I used to know. That's ok, I think it's natural, it was a huge part of my life

Well done on thinking this through. 28 days and not drinking today...you should be proud of yourself
