For me it did.

Drinking used to be natural for me. It was an automatic reflex, like breathing, that took no thought on my part. I have reached a point of my recovery where sobriety is natural to me. It is an automatic reflex, like breathing, that takes no thought on my part.

I can think about it, but for the most part, I don't and I just let it happen. Occasionally red flags will pop up, like with breathing, that tell me I need to pay attention and possibly take corrective action, but for the most part it happens just fine without input from me.
