Other than a 6 month period of minor lapses about a year ago where I'd sneak a couple beers a few times a week (my partner confronted me about it and I fully realized how stupid playing with fire like that was) I've been sober for about 4 years.

Lately the occasional thought of having a beer or shot wouldn't be a big deal has been far more frequent. I would normally just play the tape forward, realize that's a bad decision that I'd regret and it'd pass pretty quickly. I still genuinely don't want to drink, I don't want to be in the situation I was in 5 years ago in any aspect. I know from the lapses I had last year that I wouldn't even really enjoy it. I've heard a lot of old timers say the longer they have from their last drink, the closer their next potential drink can be or something to that effect and I think that's what's going on with me. IWNDWYT, but what do you all think of this, and what do you do when it happens to you? Thanks, this is a really great group 😊
