euphoric recall

for me, the most difficult aspect
of maintaining sobriety.

having had so many pleasurable,
memorable experiences for many
years, despite knowing the consequences,
the thought of a drink still persists.

what I must also remember are the
negative, harmful effects from my
compulsive drinking years.

the absolute worst events of my life
involved alcohol either directly or
indirectly.

the old mantra, "think it through",
is certainly relevant and important
in my life today
