Thanks. A small clarification.
That "demon" is waiting patiently. My brain chemistry is such that a full-scale relapse is only one drink away.
I don't live in fear of that any more, though I do have a very healthy respect for alcohol can do to me. And how fast.
And please understand. I'll buy it for people, pour it for people, I don't mind a bit if people drink around me. After a while I get bored with people while they are drinking, and they with me.
But this problem never gets "beat" by people like me. We have a truce.
And thanks for the kind words.
