good question.... maybe not.
But creeping up on 70 days, I don't think about drinking and the thoughts I do have about alcohol are pretty much all just centered around how glad I'm NOT drinking it.
It is a refreshing thing. Hang in there, it gets better.

I find myself thinking the same thing!
This forum is so helpful in getting past that. It reminds me that every recovering addict feels the same, and that I need to keep myself occupied when I start to have those thoughts.

In my experience i've not had a drinking urge in 18 months .
Sure i think about drinking every day when i come here to see how everyone is doing , but i associate drinking with nothing positive in my mind all of the experience and influence on my life has been negative … Now when i look back i wonder what was i thinking , not that i dwell on it much .
Life is for living and i want to get the maximum out of it, not numb out , even the hurt and pain is a reminder i'm taking it on and living it fully every day .
Keep on
Bestwishes, m

Truthfully there may or may not be...I still think about drinking every day. But it is just a thought now...I also think about my beloved deceased cat, my youth and many other things that are in the past now and I will never get back or go back to.
It might be dangerous in some way if we did stop thinking about drinking altogether. To me it could mean we consider ourselves out of the woods and completely recovered.

I don't spent all my time everyday thinking
about alcohol in the way that it is good and
I want to drink it.
I think of alcohol in the way that it is poison
and I don't want to drink and die.
I don't believe I will ever forget or shut
the door on the past and my drinking
career, because I have to be reminded
from time to time and to never forget
what I am and what taking a drink of
all those pretty packages can and will
do to me.
My mental obsession, stinkin thinkin,
had to be re-educated and taught or
feed with important and helpful information
about my addiction so I could live each
day applying all that I learned when
faced with those tempting desires to
drink.
It does get easier but never to rest on
my own will without the help of a recovery
program I have and still learn each day
so that I can enjoy life happy, joyous and free.
You can too.
