Couldn't believe it. Haven't drank in over 3 months...doing decent..feeling decent. (Well I'm eating too much now though.)
Anyways, was helping a patient with her mouthwash..some citrus listerine stuff, and just the smell made me think of drinking, and how it felt and it made me feel the urge a bit. I couldn't believe it. Anyways, by the time I was done helping her the urge was over..but it reminded me how insidious alcohol can be.

I don't know who is more insidious...alcohol, or the 12-year-old sneaky kid that lives inside me.

I have almost 7 months sober; I have occasional thoughts of drinking, but no strong urges that I have to battle down. In the car this weekend my wife told me she was going up to see her son at college in April. The very next thought through my head was, "I can drink." How crazy is that? And it's not because my wife is monitoring my recovery that I would wait until she left to drink. I can only compare it to a little kid waiting for the opportunity to get in trouble.

Had to look it up.
Guess it's me, not it!
I like that 12 year old kid sometimes she has lots of fun... but you right, gotta remember who the adult is around here!
