I rarely think about drinking anymore.

[bif]

I've been sober for almost 5 years. And I have to admit, up until a month or so ago, I still thought about drinking a lot. My wife & kids did an intervention on me and I went into rehab. But when my wife drank, I still had the attitude of "Sure, it's okay if you to drink but I can't." And I'd check the booze bottles to keep track of her. I sort of felt like she was controlling me.

But for nearly a month, I don't think about drinking at all. Now I feel two things: 1. It's a waste of time to think about it and it's just taking up room in my brain. 2. I've sort of developed this superiority attitude. As in: "You folks need to drink to have a good time. I'm no longer a slave to booze."

To all you folks in early recovery, hang in there! If I can do this, you can too!
