Hmm craving at 6 months

Almost at 6 months and I’m craving my favorite drink. I’m not going to give into it but I’m just curious if I will in fact be sober forever… I tell myself that I have enough experience behind me to be able to handle alcohol in a better way & not binge drink on the weekend with friends… hmmm

Most of us have been unwilling to admit we were real alcoholics. No person likes to think he is bodily and mentally different from his fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our drinking careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could drink like other people. The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death.

Main thing I had to ask myself.. do I have the shut off switch once I began.. I know for me personally I don't. You know you best. Once your gas tank is full do you let your tank runnith over and does the gas pump shut off?

The best recommendation in AA is help others. One way is helping someone to achieve sobriety. It doesn’t have to be sponsoring but it will definitely help you! There are other ways you can contribute to others too!
