Congratulations, Silver. My main strategy for continuous sobriety was to embrace the fact that alcoholics will never be able to stop at that first little drink. Well, we can, I'm sure, but they we make the second mistake, because we add to that first irrational drink, "Look, I just had one little drink! Yay! I'm not really an alcoholic anymore. Pour me another bartender and I can have two drinks. Yay! I'm back," and that is the truth. We are indeed back, the same way we got here in the first place.
