(9,122 posts)18. "The sneaking aspect"
Back in the late sixties and early seventies when I was in the military, there was a Catholiic priest who made some films for the navy on alcoholism. The talks were not religious, but were very down to earth. Father Martin was his name. I'll never forget his illustration of the sneaking aspect involving soeone sneaking into the bathroom, lifting the lid of the toilet tank, all in order to take out some green beans. Yeah, it's the sneaking aspect which is the dead giveaway. So glad you are experiencing freedom from that and all the other aspects.

Excellent. 28 years for me. It does get easier. I got so tired of arguing with myself about it
