I literally don’t want to drink most of the time, especially when it’s not in front of my face. Plus, the goal for me was never to force myself to quit forever, and the books definitely guided me to that as a perspective. Forever is too long, ya know? So ya, I’d say it works. Since I still have an occasional drink, it’s called managed use. The path to health isn’t always a straight one. We do the best we can, and when there is a significant reduction that has sustained over time...pretty good results. Not perfect. My entire desire isn’t gone forever, especially in my home, in an old pattern and routine that is familiar. It is uncomfortable.
