Nicely stated! In the beginning the thought of it and the absence of it is consuming. As time goes by it begins to filter out. I don't think of alcohol 1/10th as much as I did in the beginning, there's a marked difference in attitude also when it does come to mind. It's almost a non issue. Not quite at the "no issue" yet.

I like seeing posts like this because it directly addresses those who have the question "Will I always feel this way?".

It takes a long time to unlearn something that was a go to in your life for many years. However, it can be done. Not only can it be done there will come a point that you'll ponder why it was so important to you in the first place. Believe it, it happens.
