I can’t avoid completely thoughts about drinking. It scares me

Do you have any psychological issues? Often they play a part in alcoholism, as you probably know. I’ve found that if I don’t stay on top of managing my psychological health, I’m much more at risk of relapse. Meetings, Higher Power, support networks great, but they can’t effectively treat a mind that needs professional and/or meds. Just my take. Wishing you continued sobriety!

Having thoughts of drinking is okay. I am an alcoholic; I drank heavily for 20 years and alcohol is everywhere in society. There will always be a little part of me that glamorizes it but I can control that by putting in the work daily. I must keep sobriety as my number one priority and be committed to my program. So grateful thoughts of alcohol may be one of 250,000 thoughts I have in a day instead of an obsession and constantly chasing the next drink
