So I was riffling through some old papers today and found the store receipt from the last time I bought booze. It suddenly dawned on me that I haven't thought about drinking in days! This realization was so strange, as it seems as though I spent the last few years constantly worrying about the dam drug. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not complaining! Sure, I've been discussing alcohol here in SR, but with... clinical detachment?

The only other time I experienced this feeling was years ago... One day I realized that it'd been a few days since I'd last thought about my ex (the one who used to hound and haunt my every waking moment). And I was SO relieved.

Anyway, this might be a fluke. Or maybe my recovery plan IS working after all. In any case, the parallel between the two situations is ironic and scary. I say, good riddance!!! I'm not relieved, though, just cautious.

YEAH for you matt!!! That is a big step. I am still early sobriety so I still think about alcohol alot. Sometimes I feel I think about it more than when I was drinking. You give me hope my friend.....

I thought this was a very appropriate post for me to make my first response...I've been doing the opposite because I just quit. It's only 8:00 in the morning and I have been thinking about drinking for over two hours.

I'm glad to know the obsession goes away.
