Because it seems much harder for those to deal with sobriety, more importantly most of them dont last as long as I have the first time. I even learned this in rehab, the chances are not good.

Im not saying its easy for me, but i do think I CAN just simply not drink. There for I have a choice. While some others seem totally compelled to drink. Some people in AA say at times they had to stay sober by the minute to get by. Like ok ill drink when Im finished this smoke and then just keep pushing it off.

I push it off to but nowhere near the extent of those struggling with alcoholism it seems. I can say ill drink maybe next month if i want, and thats all it takes to hold me over, then I wont do it.
