Rest assured you are completely capable. Any other thinking is AV. Treat it as such.

I think you will reach a point, where this won't be an issue. This is the place that I am at. I have fond memories of drinkng and drugging and I have met some really great people in the process, which is why it was so difficult to give it up. So I don't want to deny those experiences. I'm at different place in my life where I am now a non-drinker, so my thoughts won't lead me back into drinking.
There is a saying "When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things." Same thing with drinking for me. "When I was a drinker, I spoke and thought and reasoned about drinking. But when I stopped drinking, I put away the alcohol.
Keep at it, you will get there!
