I hope all is well w/everyone. I'm doing well but have reached a new point in my sobriety. I'm no longer on the high I was on. It's becoming a way of life, but I'm new at experiencing all the ups & downs of life. Sometimes I say to myself: "Oh! This is why I drank!" Also, I've been thinking about drinking. I asked about it on the long-term abstinence forum, & I guess it's normal. Thinking & craving are two different things. I'm not craving alcohol, but sometimes I think about it. Right now, we have no plans for parties &/or get-togethers that involve alcohol, & I think that's a good thing for where I am right now.
I don't want to be in denial about how easy it would be for me to go back to drinking. I learned from Flip on long-term abs that drink is a "sly bastard" (his words) & couldn't agree more. I have to continue to put my sobriety first & never take it for granted.
I owe all this to you here at MWO. Thank you, Mary
