In THIS moment, I can't imagine any excuse to drink.

Weird.

Seems the person I was just a few months ago is gone... for now. I guess I spun my wheels out. Or not.

I still want a drink.

Cunning, baffling, powerful.

And so I keep moving.

How about - the dog ate your homework?

Want to drink is a lot different than the feeling of the need to drink cuz with that so called need - comes many excuses. We all want things but we don't necessarily get what we want nor do we act on all our wants.

Wanting the drink and not calling it a need is massive improvement there little lady!

Peace!

I agree with CB, you've come a long way HTL. Don't linger too long on the thought of wanting a drink though. Acknowledge, and replace it with another. Keep that momentum moving forward. Ch ch changing... :}
