The gargantuan wolf is gone for sure, but the whimpering thing in the shadows still shows up sniveling pathetically on rare occasions. It poses less threat than junk mail. I am not angered by it or afraid of it, because it has no power, and even though it is just a passing thought, I believe it actually knows it is powerless. Somewhat like Dee explained it somewhere else, it's more like a reminder that I'm an alcoholic who can't drink without serious consequences, but that I can avoid alcohol altogether and accept a wonderful life for the gift that it is.

I am convinced I have found that elusive "easier softer way."
