Is it weird...

that since stopping drinking in late December I hardly ever think about it anymore? The first week or so I did, but it rarely occurs to me now. Is this that dangerous territory of complacency? I have no intention of drinking again, or even "having just one" or anything, just think it's weird that I can go days, even weeks, without even thinking about it. Maybe my anti-anxiety meds?

I think we're all different FR
I don't think about it either - it just took me a little longer to get there.

as long as you never think a drink is a good idea, I don't really see how you can be complacent

Its that oddball occasion when it does drop into your brain that you have to worry about. Many newcomers have the same feelings you have, they think the program is wonderful, no thoughts or urges to drink, they are on a pink cloud, things are going good. Get to thinking its not so bad afterall, stop working a program of action, can do it on my own, and wam-bam sitting at the bar again, drinking or at the liquor store again drinking. Its very common, happens all the time.

I stopped thinking about it after a month or so and I'm over a year now. I do read here daily and attend meetings so that I don't become complacent. Keep up the great work.
