Hi Mav,
I got the all clear from a doctor around 15 years ago about a kidney issue and I was off to the races. I completely missed the 'no matter what' part of quitting. Outside circumstances can't determine my decision about alcohol. Good health or bad health...I don't drink. It's over. Back then I thought I was quitting but I was really just taking breaks. Finally found out that in order to get sober I had to make a decision and stick to it for good.
