Well put and I relate to that line! Thank you!!
I donāt practice religion but welcome views from everyone. I might not be religious but I also donāt feel like you pushed anything on me. AA isnāt my thing, social anxiety really. This app has helped me a lot and be more social so I prefer this method. So I understand what you were trying to say to me and took no offense 
I would not say I have been blessed with the desire not creeping in at times and I have 8 years. Itās said we need to be spiritually fit. Prayer and meditation for some is a great way to balance your emotional state. Thatās what I want more and more ofā¦.peace. So Iām willing to read more and try it more regularly. I still see a new summer cocktail and my mind goes oh I never got to try that it looks good refreshing and cool. What a mind! Iām fooling myself because eventually I know drinking would become my answer to everything and be 24/7. I envy people who no longer think about drinking ever. But it keeps me coming.
Thank you for sharing Nick. I can relate, Iām glad youāre here, we made it back. Thatās a blessing in itself.
